Jim May

I just added several awesome photos which Polley Lawrence allowed me to scan from her collection of photos and postcards to add to the website. Thank you, Polley, for sharing these great photos. There are many I've never seen before. Everyone should be sure to check them out. There will be more posted in upcoming days including ones of the Chautauqua and Butler.
Surnames: May, Jones, Micenheimer, Moore, Edwards, Ledder

    • Jim MayOkay…Mother Nature has dealt another snow card to us, so I think it would be best that we cancel Sunday’s scheduled meeting. There is nothing on the agenda that warrants putting people at a fall risk for. I will follow up if/when we reschedule.

      Thanks and sorry for any confusion.

  • Jim May Anybody ever heard of the "Country Spot Tavern"? I just came up with a token from there and feel that it is local but cannot attribute it to any town.

  • Jim May There's an Open House at the Irving Museum this Saturday (11/23) from 11 am to 3pm where Lemar Hartman will be signing his new book. Lemar is a great guy who was actually at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed on the morning on December 7, 1941. He has told me some stories that are amazing to hear from someone who was there. His book tells about this and other experiences in Lemar's life. I look forward to getting a copy.
