Dr. Bruno Sicher and his wife Rosemary moved to Kane in 1960, just 3 years after he finished medical school. During a 28 year period, Dr. Sicher delivered more than 2,400 babies in Kane and over the course of his 44 year practice he made house calls, assisted with surgeries and worked in the ER to help keep those babies and families healthy.
You may also know that Dr. Sicher was called to go to the scene of a plane crash on Christmas Eve of 1968. He shares that story, in addition to stories about coming to Kane and his time working. Watch him tell these stories for himself!
Mick Petruney was named Kane Citizen of the Year in 2019 for his contribution to helping rebuild the skate/bike park by Glenwood. He tells the story of how he got involved, ways the community rallied to raise money and volunteer, and how special the kids at the skate/bike park are to him.
Thanks to Mick’s leadership, today the Eli McCloskey Skate/Bike Park is up and gives people a safe place to hang out and test their athletic abilities.
Summer in Kane, PA is incredible. And campfires under the big, starry sky are part of that. So tonight we have a “fireside chat” with Ken Wilson about his dog, Jeff.
