SPOTLIGHTING THE YEAR…1966 * And So They Say: Elton Smith: “I’m not taking credit for the snow, but I’m not disclaiming it either.” Harry Butler: “I wish I had the names of all the people who were wanting a big snow and see how many are complaining now.” Lionel Carter: “I think that UFO which Ed Riffel saw was just George Riffel and his little grandson out hunting coyotes at night in the pickup.” Jess Riffe: “This is the best snow we have had in a lot of years.” Frank Mitchell: “I’d take credit for the snow—only no one would believe me.” * A black Angus calf belonging to Robert Kriley had died and a 1963 Mercury belonging to Earl Turnbull was damaged to the extent of about $450.00 to the front as a result of an encounter on Christmas night on Highway 183 south of Stockton. The calf had walked on the highway and Earl’s son-inlaw, Joe Denson, who had been driving the car, had not seen it in time to stop.
