The Fallon Post staff gathered Wednesday, Aug. 12, to bid adieu to high school intern Riggin Stonebarger with a pizza party and homemade apple pie made by Stonebarger himself. The staff is sad to see Riggin go and will miss having him as part of the newspaper team as he heads off to the University of Nevada, Reno. A new high school intern will soon join The Fallon Post staff. Back row, from left, are Nancy Chapman, Leanna Lehman, Lori Kaiser, Riggin Stonebarger, and Rachel Dahl. Front row, from left, are Cheryl Venturacci, Carol Lloyd, and Kasey Lattin. Christina Rodarte was also present for the farewell party and took the photo. Photo by Christina Rodarte.

Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories.
The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it.
Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all.
An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile.
For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Comment text: I just figured out that Betty was my 1st cousin. Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
