What fun to share this old farmstead with old friends - that is friends who shared the journey through the 12 years in the Coudersport Area Schools!
We hosted Jane's class reunion last Saturday afternoon, scrambling to accommodate everyone if rain promised by the weather folks came to pass. But after on and off showers in the morning, the skies cleared for the afternoon reunion and 70-somethings enjoyed catching up and laughing and remembering the good old days.
Classmates David Schaub and Tom Shirey, remembering their glory days on Metzger* Field (next to the high school), posed questions about the origin of the old football field to Coudersport Library Director Teri McDowell and she was off and running.
Her well-researched presentation about the history of football in Coudersport and the athletic fields in the community was a highlight of a delightful afternoon.
It was only after everyone had departed and the rains came and went that the sign on the barn changed to this!
*While the athletic field bears the name Metzger, the benefactor was distantly related to these Metzgers!

Feeling compelled to point out that one of the crowd is a CHS alumnus from a much more recent class 😀❤️
