SPEAKER       

Roger talked about the things that have changed in East Palestine over the years, and a few things that have stayed the same.  Several people remembered the Union School, McGraw Tires, John Reid, and even the names and colors of the Hot Stove League teams.  We even got a bonus story about the little girls, the candy bars and the funeral home from Dave Fruit.  It was a very enjoyable trip down memory lane.

JOKE OF THE DAY
