With such short notice and only social media to spread the word, the first night was slow, as was to be expected. Only one pizza was sold. Word spread rapidly after that, and the next evening 15 pizzas went out the door. On Saturday, they sold out. Brothers Nate and James Lathrop boug...

Continued from last week. The walk down memory lane continues in part three of the history of the Odessa Healthcare Foundation’s wine tasting and auctions. After the “rough winter” of 2008-09, the Odessa Healthcare Foundation chose to focus on raising money for a new 4-wheel drive ambulance. The board knew this would be a multi-year project since new ambulances cost in the $150,000-$200,000 range. The 18th (2009) and 19th (2010) annual wine tasting and auctions raised over $55,000 toward the ambulance. That, combined with...

Behind me on the wall hangs an incredible self-portrait of Nate created entirely out of numbers stamped using a rubber stamp. It’s a familiar place. Not familiar in an “I’ve been here so...
