St. Anthony Church went to two masses the first ended up being a funeral mass for Don Baca a long time resident. Tito from the motel knew him and told a couple of stories from the 40s. How the town before Ft. Sumner, Tiaban was a hot night spot because that county sold liquor. The folks from the army air base here and the other in Clovis would meet in Tiaban to party - All that is gone now. In fact part of this motel is made from building moved over from the army air base after in closed in 1948. We sometimes forget how much of our economy and local control comes from the federal government, both for good and bad.
