PHOENIX, Ariz. — The year that Terry Parvan moved away from Minnesota, she remembers the weather being so bitterly cold that the inside handle of a door on her house snapped off.
Terry has few regrets — especially regarding the winter weather — about now making her home in Arizona, but that doesn’t stop her from being nostalgic about her growing-up years in Worthington.

WORTHINGTON — The voice makes an impact.
It’s deep — Darth Vader or Barry White deep.
