The Pahrump Valley Times plans a historical perspective on Nye County sports in general, Pahrump Valley High School in particular, in the July editions. Needed are photographs of all sports from 1973, when athletics first began at Pahrump Valley High School, through 2002.

Photographs can be color or black & white. Bring them into the Times office to be scanned and copied for use in those July editions. The photos will be returned to you if self-addressed envelopes are provided.

Photos on other sports -- auto racing, rodeo, golf, et al -- can also be contributed. Photos depicting playing fields no longer in use and other sites where sports flourished can be brought in to the Times.

At the same time, PV Times readers familiar with the early years -- 1973 through 1990 in particular -- are asked to write in letters, giving their perspective on what happened in Nye athletics.

Readers who know what happened to those athletes -- what are they doing now? -- can also contribute that valuable information.

Such information can be e-mailed to Don McDermott, sports editor, at donmacd@excite.com.
