Coplay First Coplay Last & Everything in Between: SCOTT NAGY REPORTED THE FOLLOWING.

FOR THOSE GOOD COPLAY FOLKS WHO HAVE NOT HAD ACCESS TO A GROUP SITE BY SCOTT NAGY "IF YOU GREW UP IN COPLAY YOU CAN REMEMBER"
I WOULD LIKE TO POST THE FOLLOWING WHICH I READ YESTERDAY.
THE COPLAY AMERICAN LEGION POST 426 WILL NOW BE KNOWN AS:

"THE STANLEY W. REINHARD, Jr AMERICAN LEGION POST 426"

IT WAS ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT INFO WOULD BE FORTHCOMING ON THE DEDICATION EVENT TO BE HELD SOMETIME THIS FALL.

I WOULD LIKE TO POST A BRIEF WORD AND PICTORIAL STORY OF A WWII MEMORIAL AT INDIANTOWN GAP MILITARY RESERVATION. STAN WAS APPOINTED BY GOV. TOM RIDGE TO CHAIR THE COMMITTEE TO OVERSEE THE PROJECT. STAN BROUGHT IT TO A SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION AND SEVERAL YEARS AGO HE AND BEV TOOK ANN AND MYSELF OUT TO VISIT IT. I TOOK PICTURES OF THAT DAY AND INCLUDED IT IN THE AMERICAN LEGION OF COPLAY ON THE "COPLAY PICTORIAL AND TEXT CD" WHICH WAS PUBLISHED BY "THE COMMITTEE OF NINE OF COPLAY CRIME WATCH" BACK IN 2007. I WILL ATTEMPT TO POST THAT DAY AT INDIANTOWN GAP AS A TRIBUTE TO STAN. STAN WAS A PENNSYLVANIA AMERICAN LEGION COMMANDER, AS WELL AS, THE PA STATE AMERICAN LEGION ADJUTANT FOR SOME 13 YEARS BEFORE RETIRING. HIS WIFE BEVERLY, ALSO SERVED AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE PA AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY. INCIDENTALLY, I TOOK THE PICTURES AND THERE IS ONLY ONE WHERE STAN AND I ARE ON TOGETHER. IT IS DIFFERENT. THE MEMORIAL IS VERY ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL AND INCLUDES RESTROOMS IMMEDIATELY INSIDE THE ENTRANCE. THERE IS NO CHARGE TO VISIT. I WAS ENVELOPED BY THE SIMPLE BEAUTY AND SOMBER TRANQUILITY OF THE MEMORIAL. IT WILL BE WELL WORTH THE TRIP TO VISIT. STAN WAS LAID TO REST VERY CLOSE TO THE MEMORIAL.

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO:

GOD BLESS,
FRANK AND ANN DICKMAN
