They said "Thank You!"


Up until noontime there were hardly any of the familiar red TIOGA trucks or orange-hatted crew members to be seen, anywhere on Main Street, but at 12:00 on the dot they all converged at the Presbyterian Church where, in the basement, the parishioners of the Southgate Ministries served all the construction workers and the Village crew, as well, a barbequed chicken dinner complete with baked beans, macaroni salad and home-made brownies for dessert --- all to say "Thank You!" for all the work they're doing for Waterville.

Nancy Ayala, Sharon Smith and Connie Ayala serve up Aladio's famous barbequed chicken 'n fixing's to Tioga and Village crew.



Dan Kentile, D.O.T. Engineer in Charge, said that it was the first time that anyone had done such a fine thing for all of them and that, from now on, in other communties, he'll be saying, "Well, now - in WATERVILLE they gave us a great chicken barbeque!" Let them try to top that!
