Up and away


Do you recognize this dashing young man and his flying machine?
Here’s a hint: Although he no longer is with us, for decades he was a notable public official, who worked tirelessly for this region and could be seen almost everywhere.
Give up?
Here’s another hint: You may never have seen him with this much hair.
OK, here’s the answer.
This photo shows the man who would become state Sen. Edwin G. Holl, with a Taylor Cub, sometime during the 1930s.
The Cub, predecessor of the Piper Cub, was manufactured in Bradford, Pa., and was powered by a 40 horsepower engine.
