Forty years ago a hotair balloon kite formed from tissue paper drifted over the city, likely landing north of town. Thirty years ago a fire destroyed August Schhniard’s home on Luens Grove road, with insurance covering most loss. Twenty years ago the Commercial Club planned Ladies Day, opening rooms to women weekly. Ten years ago Jewish residents began a relief drive for persecuted Russians, led by Rabbi Bleeden and New York relief organizers.
