Keeping the story alive
The R. K. Laros Foundation and the Industrial Archives
and Library hosted a joint reception at the Industrial Archives and Library to
thank the nearly 30 individuals who have participated in the organizations’
joint Laros Oral History Project and to provide an interim report on the
results of the project to date. Launched in March 2017, The Laros Oral History
Project is documenting the history and impact of the R. K. Laros Silk Company
on the Lehigh Valley community from the perspective of the everyday lives of
employees and their families.
Freedom senior earns Eagle
Christian Michael Jancsarics
has achieved Boy Scout immortality by earning the organization’s most
distinguished honor of Eagle Scout. “Scouting taught me about leadership,”
Jancsarics said during an interview at his Eagle Scout ceremony Nov. 24 at East
Hills Moravian Church in Bethlehem. “I think it has helped me grow as a person.
I think it will help me later on in life.” Photo: Christian Jancsarics earned
the Boy Scouts of America’s prestigious Eagle Scout award. During a ceremony
for the honor, he is with his parents, Joseph and Cindy, at East Hills Moravian

Hawks win 7th
state title
It was a bit of a shock when Bethlehem Catholic senior
Ryan Anderson, the nation’s top-ranked wrestler at 145 pounds, lost a close
decision to Northampton’s Jagger Condomitti in the state championships. The
upset kept Northampton’s title hopes alive and certainly seemed to swing
momentum to the Konkrete Kids, even if momentarily. But it didn’t last long. Junior
Cole Handlovic left no doubt in Hershey’s Giant Center that there wouldn’t be
any more upsets or hiccups. Handlovic’s fall, the Golden Hawks’ second of the
match, sealed Becahi’s seventh PIAA team championship with a 31-19 win over
Northampton on Saturday.

Mister Valentine: Tamaqua
museum features vintage cards
They say still waters run deep. Late artist John G.
Scott was a prime example of that adage. Those who remember Tamaqua’s most
famous commercial-art illustrator say he was a quiet, humble man who touched
hearts, not through bravado, but quiet brush strokes. Descendants of Scott from
Oregon, California, Delaware and other states gathered Nov. 11, 2018, to unveil
an extensive collection of Scott’s creativity, the inaugural exhibit at the
newly-opened Tamaqua Historical Society Museum Annex, 114 W. Broad St.,
Tamaqua.
