2023 Cattleman’s Ball Honorees
Linda Scarbrough and Clark Thurmond came to the Sun from two different pathways: journalism and aviation. Together they purchased the twice-weekly paper, founded in 1877, from Linda’s parents, Don and Clara Scarbrough, in 1986. Linda grew up in Georgetown, stuffing newspapers and proofreading livestock auction galleys and, in high school, writing her weekly column, “School Daze.” After college she covered science, medicine and the environment for The New York Daily News and freelanced in New York City. She returned home in 1978 to edit and ultimately co-publish the Sun with Clark. After a career in aviation, Clark joined the paper, first converting the paper from typewriters to computers and then managing and editing the Sun. Under their helm, the Sun promoted well-controlled development, preservation and enhancement of Georgetown’s Square and Old Town, and transparency in local government.
