The newsletter of the
Tyrone Area Historical Society is published as a
benefit for members. It was introduced by Paul and
Suzanne Ohl in February 1991 and published
aperiodically. After the passing of Paul in September
1995, editorship was taken over by Charlie and Marge Hoyer
in January 1996.
With a name change by Marge to
Tyrone PastTimes, the newsletter was placed on
a quarterly publication schedule to keep members
updated on the activities and programs of the Society and
its Tyrone History Museum.
The newsletter was expanded
to include a regular feature: an interview
with a local notable,
many of which were conducted by Society board member
Susie O’Brien.
Another regular feature is the
“Tyrone Trivia Quiz,” started by board member
Lori Eckert and now continued by Joyce
Hewel. Articles on various topics by
Cary Simpson, Gary Long, Robert W. Hamor, and Suzi Walls
are very popular with readers.
Contributors over the years
include the late Suzanne S. Ohl, Virgie Werner, Bruce Bonta,
JoAnn Gurekovich-Reese, Peter T. Kiefer, the late Jack Cupper,
the late Clarence Hastings, Will Walk, Ginny Dollar, Chris Wilt,
Mary Brunner, David Hershey, Shirlee (Boal) Nicholson, and
Viola Dollar.
Of course, a message
from Society President Nancy A. Smith appears in every
issue.
