I was living in Brushfork when the B-17 came to Mercer County. The fact so many people came convinced the bomber's owner, the Confederate Air Force, to later send two more World War II bombers, a B-17 Flying Fortress and a B-24 Liberator, to the airport. Well, word spread quickly about the visitor and many people came out to see it. Years ago, a World War II bomber, a Martin B-26 Marauder, landed there when it had engine trouble. That DGA-15's visit wasn't the first time that historic planes have landed at the Mercer County Airport. I was told later that the owners of such vintage aircraft are considered custodians who preserve it until another custodian takes on the responsibility. I half-expected General Eisenhower or Indiana Jones to climb out when it landed. I quickly learned that DGA stands for 'Damn Good Airplane.' The only DGA-series airplanes I had seen before that moment were toys.Д«uilt in 1943, the red plane was still rugged and airworthy as well as spacious. Others were flying SUVs that could haul plenty of luggage and a motorcycle, too.Д«y far the most fascinating aircraft to arrive was a vintage Howard DGA-15. Some could carry one pilot and a passenger. Within an hour, there were enough planes parked on the tarmac for a civilian air show. The participants flew to southern West Virginia at their own expense so they could avoid hours of driving. partnered with the Best You, Best Me organization and ProJet Aviation in Leesburg to bring food and other supplies to McDowell County's needy. Members of the Smokehouse Pilots Club in Leesburg, Va. That's what happened when I visited the Mercer County Airport last week.ДЄbout 10 private planes brought around 20 volunteers to Mercer County so they could board a caravan of vehicles going to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Powaton. 9-There are times when you see things you didn't expect to see when you go out on a job. The City of Waterfalls has a nice ring to it.Jun.

We might even get a few reality TV shows shot here. Organized Bigfoot hunts, merchandizing opportunities and even Halloween costumes. Just think of all the opportunities it would bring to the local tourist industry. Whether you believe Bob or Larry, a new legend for the city could be fun. вЂњItвЂ™d be nice to have a good story like that.вЂќ вЂњSorry I canвЂ™t help you with that,вЂќ Larry says. Two people telling the same story wouldвЂ™ve cranked this up a notch. вЂњWe may have seen something but I donвЂ™t know,вЂќ he chuckles. Between laughs, he says it mightвЂ™ve been a slight exaggeration. But memories of a fabled creature wandering a public park at midnight? The star of legend and mystery making a home here in Hamilton? Really laughing.ДЄll these years later, he doesnвЂ™t remember that night too well.

But when he hears what the call is about, he starts laughing. He was pleased simply to know his old friend was still alive.

When the retired teacher answers the phone, he says he hasnвЂ™t talked to Bob in decades. He knows the difference between a man and a, well, not man.Д«ut in the middle of Hamilton? Really? And it wasnвЂ™t a person in a costume? Or a shadow? Or his imagination? He describes a taller-than-a-human, slender, slightly hunched creature covered in long, straight grey hair with extra-long arms and hands cupped back like an ape. вЂњAnd I donвЂ™t believe in the Loch Ness Monster either.вЂќД«ut he hasnвЂ™t changed his mind after all these years. HeвЂ™s still working and he isnвЂ™t sure this would play well with his boss. ItвЂ™s the same reason he doesnвЂ™t want his last name used. For almost four decades, heвЂ™s kept it quiet. Which is why he says heвЂ™s never told anyone this story until now. He knows youвЂ™re going to think it sounds a little out there.

Catharines in 1997, a driver nearly hitting one in Grimsby in 1978 and several sightings of the so-called Smithville Monster in the 1960s. Go to and you can read about truckers seeing one in St. There have been other reports of encounters around this region over the years. The weird thing, Steve says, is that if one guy was a little tipsy he mightвЂ™ve thought he saw something. Yeah, there was some partying going on - Gage Park was a bit of a wild place back then - but the two clearly said they saw it. They never saw anything like Bigfoot in the park. The other folks at the house that night were skeptical.
