Half-Shire Historical Society News – August 9, 2013
Warm days and cool nights are sure a blessing after the heat wave of early July.
After the extreme heat and humidity one of our trustees, Phil Rombach, took the lead in having central air installed in the main hall. The cost has been donated by Phil in honor of his late wife, Rita Rombach.
