CYRUS WILLIAM SHRECK

RECENTLY CHERRY AND RON WILL BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT AN OLD MAZEPPA RESIDENT DOESN'T HAVE A MILITARY MARKER FOR HIS GRAVE.  I AM DILIGENTLY WORKING TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE AND WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFO THAT I CAN SUPPLY THE VA OFFICE.  HIS NAME WAS CYRUS WILLIAM SHRECK AND HE SERVED IN THE KOREAN WAR.  BORN AUGUST 8 , 1931 AND PASSED AWAY  JANUARY 16 , 2014.  BURIED BY HIS PARENTS  S. CATHERINE  ( KOCH )  AND DANIEL SHRECK.    ANY INFO IS APPRECIATED AS THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE HIM ON FILE ALTHOUGH HE DOES HAVE A MILITARY HEADSTONE.  WHAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IS TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED IN TIME FOR THE MEMORIAL DAY PARADE AND CEREMONY.  MY EMAIL IS   mazeppa@ptd.net.    I AM ATTACHING PHOTOS OF CYRUS.....ANOTHER OF HIS PARENTS AND ONE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS WITH CYRUS SITTING AT THE PIANO.

LEMOYNE

BINK AND I WERE DOWN TO LEMOYNE A FEW DAYS AGO AND AS WE PULLED INTO THE ANTIQUE MALL WE LIKE A CAR CAME RIGHT IN BEHIND.  MOST OF YOU KNOW MY LICENSE PLATE IS......MAZEPPA.  AS WE GOT OUT THE FELLA ASKED.....MAZEPPA , PA ?   I WAS STUNNED AND REPLIED YOU KNOW WHERE MAZEPPA IS ?  I BOUGHT MY FIRST CAR THERE AS I GREW UP IN LEWISBURG.  TURNS OUT HE AND BINK GRADUATED A YEAR APART AT LEWISBURG AND KNEW EACH OTHER.  HIS MOM STILL LIVES IN LINNTOWN AND BASICALLY NEIGHBORS TO US.  A SMALL WORLD OR WHAT ?

13 MORE PERCY

A WEEK LATE POSTING THIS PERCY BUT I CAUGHT 13 LAST SUNDAY AND JUST LOOK AT THE PHOTOS I TOOK.  A GREAT MORNING IN THE CREEK

MONSTER BASS

PERCY WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE    MONSTER BASS I CAUGHT TODAY.  JUST SO IT WASN'T 19 INCHES AND FAT.....OMG.  ALSO HAD A FISHING BUDDY WITH ME

 

32

A WEEK LATE WITH THIS POST BUT I CAUGHT 32 FISH LAST SUNDAY AND ABOUT HALF OF THEM WERE PICKERAL.  AMAZING HOW THEY ARE POPULATING THE CREEK AGAIN AND LIKE WHEN I WAS A KID.  ALSO HAD SOME YEARLING DEER JOIN ME AND ADDING WILDFLOWER PICTURES.

GREAT DAY

THE CREEK WAS JUST A BIT CLOUDY FROM THE RAIN YESTERDAY AND A LIGHT RAIN AND OVERCAST WHILE I FISHED AND PERFECT CONDITIONS.  CAUGHT 40 PERCY AND THE HIGHLIGHTS WERE THE 17 INCH PICKERAL AND THE 15 INCH SMALLMOUTH.  ALSO FOUND THE BEAVER'S DEN AND SAW LOTS OF BLUE HERONS AND KINGFISHERS.
