Williams was performing
work relating to his body shop
in the West End area around the
time he disappeared.
For Williams' wife, Diana,
and two teenage daughters,
Tonee and Sara, along with law
enforcement and countless
friends, there are many •unan-
swered questions relating to his
disappearance: When his fami-
ly began to look for him, it was
discovered that his shop was
unsecured and tools were left
o The door of a car that he
h en working on was left
open. By all appearances, when
Williams left on Thursday
evening, he was planning to be
gone only a short period of time.
"He left his checkbook,"
Diana explains, "I know he only
had about $75 in cash on him
Wednesday night, and that
would have dwindled down
throughout the day."
Additionally, Williams had been
planning to attend Nucla's grad-
uation on Friday night, another
Annual Event to Feature A Day's Worth of Fun...
The annual Naturita Days
events will be held this
Saturday, kicking off the sum-
mer with some good old com-
munity fun, sponsored by the
Basin Valley Lions Club.

Community Building. A bake
sale provided by the Naturita
Basin Valley Lions will be held

At 10, the parade down Main
Street will begin. This year's
parade, with a theme of "Water
Is Life," is sure to deliver some
interesting new floats by local
businesses as well as some "old
faithfuls" such as Smokey the
Bear, and of course, music pro-
vided by the community band.
Following the parade; the
party will move to the Naturita
Town Park, where the Little
League's concession stand will
open at 10:30. At 11, the games
begin with a ping-pong drop,
sponsored by San Miguel
