100 Years Ago: Durango locals who returned from Southern California said that “three days rain there is referred to as a fall of moisture. To call it a storm is an over act.”

75 years ago: Anna Mae Carlson, John Carlson and Joe Myers, John’s “chum,” arrived from Denver to spend a few days with “the home folks.”

50 Years Ago: There was a packed house, with standing room only, at the Fort Lewis College field house for the Durango appearance of the Denver Symphony.

25 years ago: Two compact discs, sunglasses and a $300 Sharp stereo were stolen from 617 Crofton-Mears at Fort Lewis College.
