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
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
It’s hard to believe it’s the fifth Christmas season that my good friend Dave Sechler isn’t ringing the bell for the Salvation Army. God must have needed Dave’s help, and he knew he would do whatever was asked of him with a smile on his face. That’s just who Dave was. If you remember, I
Alright y’all. December is here, so I am officially on board for the Christmas season! I’ve started making my lists, and I even bought one present already! And it wasn’t even for me! It’s time for tree shopping, and ornament finding and I’m always on the hunt for vintage reindeer that border somewhere between adorable
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
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
I wish everyone a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving. The holiday kick-off is at our doorstep, complete with an early walk in a winter wonderland. Yeah, I think I could have waited for that. But you have to admit, there’s nothing like the beauty of that first falling snow. That perfect white blanket covering the
It’s time for my annual Thanksgiving list! As you join friends and family this Thanksgiving, take a moment to remember all the things you have to be thankful for this year. Times get tough, but there is always a bright side and listing them out often makes the bad seem a little better. My family
We are so truly blessed to live in the greatest Country in the world. Like I always say, there’s a reason everybody is fighting to get in, and no one is choosing to leave. Although some Hollywood elitists do make the idle threat of leaving our Country, they never do. However, they may change their
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
A Webb Weekly salute and thank you to our Veterans. Without all the special men and women that have put everything on the line in the name of Country, we would not have our independence. Our One Nation Under God was founded by war, and it will always take the daily commitment of the United
Midterm Madness is finally upon us. I will be glad when the dust clears, and I don’t have to watch any political commercials. Across our great Nation, there has probably never been a more important midterm report card provided by “We the People.” There’s also probably never been more at stake. To me, it’s a
