Tom Martray - Connellsville, Pennsylvania
This bench was placed as part of a installation of 17 benches in and around the Jewel of the Yough River Trail Council's property at the Stewart's Crossing Trailhead. 4 benches were placed 1/2 mile north of Stewart's Crossing, a handful were placed at the camping area and the remainder will be placed at Yough River Park. Furthermore, the backs of the benches are able to be swiveled in direction to change the occupant's view to whatever they desire to view at the moment of resting.
This bench memorializesa graduate of and record holding track & field runner at Dunbar Township High School class of 1963. He always enjoyed planning and dancing at his reunions.
He was a proud Air Force veteran and continued to serve through the American Legion Post #146.
He was a member of King Solomon’s Lodge #346 and the Dunbar Eagles.
From construction sites to Safety Rep at VW of America to CSX, he was a genuinely hard working man.
Most importantly, he was a family man… he looked forward to “Fogle Nights” by the fire, traveling, dancing, gardening, NASCAR, biking the Yough River trail, and listening to oldies.
