  • Happy Anniversary!0

    Steph Nordstrom

    January 22, 2003, we published the first issue of Webb Weekly. As you can see on the cover, our cover story that was about the upcoming Super Bowl. Man, have we covered a lot since then. Going back through and looking at past issues this week has been a trip, to say the least. The

  • It’s Christmastime in Our City

    It’s Christmastime in Our City0

    Jim Webb

    What an unbelievable transition I’ve witnessed from the LL Stearns and Carol House days of the 70s to what downtown Williamsport has become today. Yes, there might have been some lean years in between, but Downtown has never looked better. I always enjoyed those Christmas shopping trips with my Mom and Grandparents back in the

  • Interesting to Amazing by Tom, son of Ann and Sam0

    Webb Weekly

    I was sorry to hear that Gerry Ayers passed away so soon after writing his last column. It reminds me of Charles Schultz and his last “Peanuts” column. Mr. Schultz, among other things, was a sports fan. He particularly liked ice-skating and hockey, starting, later in life, an over-75 hockey league! All the more a

  • This Christmas…0

    Steph Nordstrom

    OK, so as of this writing (which is Friday), I am still nowhere near ready for Christmas. I’m not a procrastinator by nature, but Christmas gets me just about every year. I think I need to go get a Christmas tree so that I can feel the whole Christmas Spirit more wholly. Maybe a walk

  • Gerry’s World0

    Jim Webb

    Even in death, Gerry Ayers marched to the beat of his own drum. Or maybe a better way to say it is that he drove to the sound of his own music. He was truly one of the good guys that just had a little different approach to life than most, or maybe I should

  • Saying Goodbye0

    Steph Nordstrom

    More than ten years. Over 300 columns. Gerry Ayers was one of Webb Weekly’s most dedicated columnists. His columns were smart, funny and well written. He will be missed. Missed by the Webb staff. Missed by the folks at the Country Club. Missed by those at Fairfield. Missed by everyone he played tennis with or

  • An Appreciation of The Jaded Eyed: Gerry Ayers0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Last week the Webb Weekly family experienced the terrible loss of Gerry Ayers, known to his readers as “The Jaded Eye.” I was lucky enough to have known Gerry many years before he became associated with Webb Weekly. Gerry and I worked together as part-time clerks at “Jocks” sporting goods store on the Golden Strip

  • You Take the Good; You Take the Bad0

    Steph Nordstrom

    Life isn’t always easy, but generally, we do our best to make it the best we can. Some of us are better at this than others. Webb Weekly writer Gerry Ayers is better at finding the best in life than most people I know. In case you haven’t heard, Gerry has stage four colon cancer

  • Time Flies and So is My Nephew0

    Gerry Ayers

    When I first started this column, my nephew Malcolm was three years old and didn’t read it. Just made fun of my picture — head tilted to the side like a clown trying to shed his wig. Now he’s 13 and devours each word every chance he gets. I enjoy his critiques, as it’s not

    “To attract men, I wear a perfume called ‘new car interior’.” ~ Rita Rudner The other day in a waiting room, I was browsing a magazine that had a perfume advertisement and sample strip targeted at women. It was called “Gabrielle” by Chanel. I knew the scent was vaguely familiar. It took me a few minutes,

    Autograph hounds take note. My signature is valued at a whopping $9.77. Not that I am overjoyed with that figure mind you, because when everything is said and done (as in this story) I am sure one of you would offer me the nice round figure of — $10.00! Autographs are highly sought after collectibles,

  • Why My Kidney is Named Sidney0

    Webb Weekly

    I’ve seemingly got a double agent working inside of me — code name Sidney. Information: declassified. Risk status: medium. Flee factor: high. By the sounds of things (sheer groans), many of you are also “entertaining” a host who is annoyingly proving not to be the utmost. In fact, it’s a real pain in your side!

  • Touch Me in the Morning0

    Gerry Ayers

    The contests of all contests. No, not eating 50 hot dogs in less than five minutes and watching them all exit the body faster then you put them in. How about winning a new car just by keeping a hand on it for as long as you possibly can? When organizers put these “games” in

  • Wait! He Can’t Commentate!0

    Gerry Ayers

    Imagine a small town radio station asks me to “assist” in a play-by-play Friday night football game. What would I bring to the table? Uh, I mean press booth. Before we go any further, there are opposing views on everything. Thus, for every fervent fan and parent who cherishes “Friday Night Lights,” there is a
