Downtown Clearfield - Flood of 1936

Email from Tom O'Day:

My cousin, Norman Sunderland, sent me this picture that shows the Keystone Ice Cream Co. during the 1936 flood.

Editor's Note:  This picture was probably taken from up on the hill beside Hillcrest Cemetary.  It was taken during the flood of 1936 (March 17-22).  You can see the old Clearfield County Jail in the center of the picture and just barely make out the west side and the Market Street Bridge (upper left corner).  Just below the jail is the Keystone Ice Cream Co. and at the bottom center is what appears to be a barge or boat.  This is actually a railroad coal car loaded with coal.

Happy Birthday, C. Lee Lanager!!

Suzy summerizes CAHS Class of '59 picnic and dinner following on August 17, 2013

What a great day for our class picnic at the Clearfield K of C  grove! Many thanks to the Clearfield crew: Joyce & Mick, Judi & Denny and others, for decorating and covering the tables, as well as for providing the cute ice tubs, the "Save-the-Ritz" information and video, and to Denny White & Mick Hoover for "manning" the grill. As usual, there was a plethora of food and good, catching-up-type conversation.

There were 31 classmates and "guests" at the picnic: Joyce (Amon) & Dave Michaels; Maxine & Blaine Bloom; Gary Bolton; Bonnie (Henchbarger) & Ed Powell; Pat (Kinkead) Cutler; Orvis Kline; Peggy Jo (Knepp) Thompson; Lonnie & Helen Kovalick; Norman Kyler; Sandy & Sam Lansberry; Pauline Maloni; Sylvia & James McKenrick; Joyce (Moody) Fletcher & Mick Hoover; Tom O'Day; Judi (Rolley) & Denny White; Suzy (Sherkel) & Karl Nagle; Joanne (Shimel) & Bill Magnuson; Karen & Wil Shirey; Denny Mollura's brother, Dan; and Tom O'Day's sister, Helen. Plus, Carol (Morgan) Peterson, (Class of '58 - at the invitation of Judi White) dropped by to share a few minutes with us.

There were 13 (11 after Judi & Denny departed) at the evening dinner at Moena: Orvis Kline, Peggy Jo Thompson, our "hostess" Pauline Maloni, Sylvia & Jim McKenrick, Tom O'Day, Judi & Denny White (for a short while), Suzy & Karl Nagle, Joanne Magnuson, and Karen & Wil Shirey.

Of course, we were all sadly feeling the absence of our intrepid Denny Mo, star of the "Save-the-Ritz" video.
