We're On the Move
In early 2021, the Larry Bruno Foundation will be transitioning the Museum and Hall of Achievement into a new home. An open house to tour the new building will be announced for early to mid-December.
When visiting the new location, you will experience the rich history of learning and achievement led by members of our vibrant community. You will read, watch, meet and learn from our past Inductees and Honorees that we have given reverence to over the past 10 years. Our state-of-art digital classroom and storytelling center will be equipped with two large video screens and video cameras to broadcast live and interactive presentations from around the country.
Stay tuned for more information on this exciting project!
The Hall of Fame Inductees and Honorees have been nominated for 2021! These deserving individuals will be honored and celebrated during several events in the summer of 2021. There achievements will also be memorialized on our website and in the new museum space coming in 2021.
More information will be posted about these wonderful individuals in the coming weeks.

We are all saddened to hear of the passing of former Tiger (class of 1975) and friend Bob Orlowski. Bob was a loyal friend through the years and the type of guy that would do anything to help a friend in need. He played football during the 1972 and 73 seasons, and was a big part of the undefeated Jr. High Team of 1971. His visit to Tuscaloosa my freshman year there will never be forgotten, he always supported his friends. Bob will never be forgotten by his 5th ave crew and all that knew him. ... See MoreSee Less

Thanks go out to former Tiger great Butch Rousseau for straightening us out on our Suburban photo recently posted. Seems the team shown participated in the county league in 1975 not 74. In 1974 JJ’s was county champions and ASA’s state champions out of district 9. The core of this team became Suburban the following year. Butch was kind enough to share these team photos. JJ’s roster blows my mind, a who’s who in local legends, unbelievable group of players. I can easily see how they won the State. ... See MoreSee Less

Men’s adult softball has been a popular sport in the Beaver County area for the past one hundred years. I’ve been a spectator for at least fifty of those years.My friend Bob McDanel,’s Dad Bunky, played for the Log House team in the late 1960’s. My buddies and I would attend their games when they played at Moltrups field. Our favorite Log House player was Ray Hartzell. He was antimated, fiesty and bow legged. We loved when he got a hit because to see Ray run the bases was a real treat.
Many great scholastic athletes played in local softball leagues to stay in shape as they worked and raised they’re families.
A good example of that was Suburban ‘s entry in the county league in 1974. Full of former local athletes, Suburban was a top team in those days and a trill to watch. Here’s a picture of that team.
First row: Joe Medaglia (Dags) Bob Dietz , Harold Keister, Jack Stacey, Ken Brandenberger, Butch Rousseau.
Back row: Dick Rishell, Stan Cwyner, Ron Sams (Fu) Don Romney, Ross Capperelli, Bill Damaska, Randy Savor. ... See MoreSee Less

Jim & I (CORBIN) bought the Log House in 1971 - from Bunky—I think you mean Ray Hartshorn 😀. He was a fixture at the bar- had his own special place at the far end. I remember some of these guys when they played on our (Corbin’s Tavern) softball team. Ray’s nickname was ‘Banjo Legs’. He was an iron worker & wrapped those bow legs around the beams 👍 He was a very good pool player, also! We had an awesome bunch of athletes in our bar 👍👍
Hey Linda, thanks for the info on Ray, it was a long time ago, I may forget his name but never forget him. Those were fun times back in Beaver Falls. Loved the Log House. Was a big part of our city.
One BC best ever that team turned into Blatz eventually the Best BC team ever ✌️
The boys were the sons of Bob Dietz , Bill Damaska, and Randy Savor. Also the player reported as Don Romney was actually the very slick fielding third baseman, Don Rimbey.
Thank you Harold for the corrections and info,
Little boys Mike Dietz, Lance and Aaron Damaska, Roger Savor P
Oh the fun we had playing softball !
Maybe Harold knows who the kids are
If anyone knows who the batboys are please let us know Thanks
Ron Medaglia, did you see this pic?
