Today, the ladies at City Hall had the pleasure of welcoming two very special visitors, Miss Iris Aletha Ryan (Abbott) and her son, Mark Abbott.
Miss Iris, now 94 years young, lived in Wink from 1935 to 1940, arriving at the age of 3 and spending some of her childhood years here before moving away. Now residing in Oklahoma, she and Mark (from Florida), made the journey back to Wink to revisit cherished memories and see how our wonderful little town has grown over the years.
Although they just missed our Centennial Celebration, we were delighted to have the opportunity to visit with them and hear about their connection to Wink. We only wish they could have joined us for such a historic occasion.
We thank Miss Iris and Mark for stopping by and sharing part of their story with us. We wish them safe travels as they continue their adventures and an easy journey back home. 🩷
