February 18, 1947 -Â December 18, 2020
Lyle Harmon was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on February 18, 1947, to Forrest Ward Lundin and Vera Cecelia (Willhelm) Lundin. It was Mardi Gras Day. Vera was not happy about missing the festivities to bring the youngest Lundin child into the world.
Before the age of 20, Lyle lived a gypsy lifestyle with her family. She ate oyster on the half shell at the Acme Oyster Company, while her family ran a couple of antique shops in the French Quarter of New Orleans.
From Louisiana, they moved across the upper gulf coast, to Mississippi then Alabama. Her father s pursuit of jobs in antiques took them through Tennessee and Pennsylvania. Fleeing one of the worst winters in Pennsylvania history, they moved to Arizona, where Lyle lived from the age of 8 to 16. Lyle rode horses across the desert under the stars and played basketball on roller-skates.

THURMAN Volunteer Patricial Filie was not deterred by the coronavirus pandemic in her efforts to bring Wreaths Across America to Tyn Rhos Cemetery for its fourth year.
While many services around the country were canceled, Filie and other volunteers managed to lay 66 wreaths on veterans graves during last Saturday’s ceremony.
Services were held inside the First Church of the Southern Ohio Welsh Pioneers adjacent to the cemetery. COVID-19 safety practices were followed, including leaving the church door open to the cold and rainy elements of the day.
