With news of Marie's passing on November 12, 2024, I revisited some conversations I'd taped with her on a visit some years back and matched the few minutes she'd remembered the start of the Thanksgiving and then Holiday Food and Toy Drive (that is still ongoing in the community today) with photos and news clippings from the Leader.
To try and fit all of the photos I'd collected, they had to be sped up to only a few seconds each in the video above.
So, if you'd prefer to linger and read through the pieces and the captions, here they are:
1983
November 1983
Christmas 1983
1984
1985
1986
1987
1988
2011
1989
1990
1991
1992
1993
1994
1995 & 1996 Are not yet available online
1997
The digitization of the papers only reaches 1997 and the online availability of the PDFs through the Leader only go back to 2008, so there is a decade missing for now, until the UNT Portal to Texas History is able to scan and add them to their site.
