Featured as por- trait subjects are well known Wyoming County residents: George Gay, Dorothy Colben- son, Peg Fassett, and George “Wes” Herron. In reading the narratives that are alongside the portraits, one learns that all four subjects are pillars of the community. Dorothy Colbenson has been active in the Wyoming County Historical Society since it be- gan, and she has become the foremost authority on the histo- ry of homes in Tunkhannock. In 1999 she was named Woman of the Year by the Tunkhan- nock Woman's Club. George Gay of Gay's True Value is a friend to everyone, taking pride in the variety of seeds sold at the store. He is a Rotary member, as well as a Barbershop Chorus member. George “Wes” Herron has served on the Lackawanna Trail School Board, as well as the Board of Tyler Memorial Hos- pital. He was a longtime scout- master, at one time having now Senator Don Sherwood in his troop. His portrait was painted in the Methodist Church of Nicholson where he has been a member for 70 years. Peg Fassett began the Tyler Hospital Antique Show more than 41 years ago, has served on the Tunkhannock Tree Asso- ciation Board, and was instru- mental in making the new Tunkhannock Public Library a reality. The public is invited to at- tend a reception for Mary- Louise Chibirka and, hopefully, the subjects of the paintings on Saturday, May 15 from noon to 1 p.m. The Dietrich Theater is lo- cated at 60 E.
