Photo by Christine Dziedzina Members of the South Hills Neighborhood Association observed the first of what they plan to be an annual commemoration of Memorial Day at the "Circle" in their neighborhood. They Photo by Christine Dziedzina patriotically decorated the Circle on South Hills Dr. for the event. Even though their church is closed, St. Barbara's organized a memorial service to remember sons of the parish who died during World War II. This was the 57th year they’ve done so. Ted Sliwa, former councilman, presided over the event. " We do not celebrate; we commemorate" every May 30th (the original date for Decoration Day/Memorial Day). The ceremony consist- ed of a simple reading of the names, the laying of the wreath and a three-gun salute.
