A TRIP THROUGH THE PAST

Here, you'll find archived photographs showing the fabric of "This Place We Call Home"

In the Spring of 2011, Minerva Frank is saluted on her 100th Birthday.  Tyrone Mayor Bill Fink presented an Official Proclamation declaring the day as "Minerva Frank Day".  He also gave her an autographed football from Joe Paterno.  They are surrounded by members of the Order of the Eastern Star who joined in the salute..

Never to be forgotten was this spectacular rainbow, as the angry tail of Hurricane Wilma lashed the country. The sun was shining in spite of the misty rain, and Virgie took these wonderful photos.

At the end of the rainbow, what lies for you?

"Hey, look, Dad...".
