Saturday - March !3: Yesterday morning members of the Tommay Mackall VFW Post got Wellsville's Boy Scout Troop 29 a step closer to enjoy this year's camping season. With smiles all around the Veterans presented Troop 29 with six three-man tents they purchased with funds from their Charity Account. The six tents cost a little over $1,000.
The Covenant Presbyterian Church sponsored Boy Scout Troop 29 was formed a little over a year ago. They are members of the Sandy Beaver Scout District. Members of the Covenant Church have been very active & generous over the years in sponsoring projects for Wellsville area youth. In addition to the Scouts they took it upon themselves to maintain & make the 18th St. Playground a fun place for youngsters. Members of the VFW are equally generous providing activities and donating to area youth. In addition to those attending the tent presentation yesterday we saw other members of the Post collecting donations for the VFW's annual Easter Egg Hunt out in the rain. Being wet & cold didn't faze them. It's for the children. You have to admire both organizations for their dedicated efforts providing for our youth.
Pictured above sitting,from the left, are Troop 29 members John Buckle, John Bell, Justise Cehrs, Alik Bradford, Dalton Ramsey & Max Littleton. Standing on the left is Scout Master Tom Eberhart, Eagle Scout Candidate Brian Bell, Scout Master Dan Kirkbride & VFW Jr. Vice Commander Don Brown.

As Clark Race use to say on KDKA Radio years ago, "it's nice to know so many nice people". Enjoy the camping guys.

It's good to see Don Brown looking well. I miss him.
Don's a good man, a little ornery at times but that's the ville's Don Brown. He's got a heart of gold just about a tad bigger than the State of Texas. Wellsvile could use more people like him.
