It tells the story of Phil Wenneck, Stu Price, Alan Garner and Doug Billings, who travel to Las Vega...

What started out as a two-year commitment became a lifetime of service. After 61 years, Gordon Twedt is finally calling it quits to the job of eastern Eddy County Colvin Township clerk. When George Dronen left the Colvin Township area way back in 1957, nobody came forward to take his clerk position. After some time had passed, township supervisor Burton Aaker approached young Twedt to ask him if he would consider taking the job for a two-year term.
