     Mayor Randall Ramsey recognized Mrs. Ruth Baskin Fisher to the audience.  She is 101 years of age, still drives and does her own shopping.  She graduated from Parma High School in the very first class that graduated with the full 12 years at Parma, in 1920. A picture of good health.

Mrs. Arvalee Brown Kerr assembled a photo album of the City of Parma from the year 1916 through the year 2000.  She is shown reading a portion to the crowd in dedication and then presenting it to Mayor Randall Ramsey and the City Of Parma Archives.  Shown with her is her brother Delano Brown and sister Yvonne Brown Moore.

Mrs. Donna Sapp singing the National Anthem                Rev. Medlin calls on Garth Leigh to offer the blessing.
