Meet Harry “Good News” Gosnell
The People at Work Series grew by one occupation today. Meet Harry “Good News” Gosnell, awarded Top Volume Sales and Customer Appreciation at #1 Cochran Subaru dealership. Selling Subarus for 19 years is what he’s good at and he’s gotten to go on trips to Colorado, Scotland and San Diego
If you have to buy a car, (just thinking about having to do so made me cringe) Mr. Gosnell treats you the way he would like to be treated. Kind, courteous, respectful and positive all around.
At almost 170,000 miles it seemed unwise to invest a lot of money into my old car cause who knows what might fail next. I do a lot of highway driving, visiting my families in Ohio. Safety features are essential. It was a great reliable run for my 2011 Outback but it was time to commit to a new car.
Being an extremely satisfied customer at #1Cochran in Monroeville, I returned to buy another Subaru Outback. I learned that Harry gets terrific Google Reviews for his test drives. My purchase was his thirtieth sale this month, with six more days to make sales. He took the time to instruct me how to operate all the new high tech and safety features on the 2024 Model.
I asked if I could post his portrait as he made the purchasing a new car, a positive and smooth experience. I wanted to say Thank You, Harry. I know why you got recognized for excellent Customer Appreciation.
Uncle Frank’s 1955 Ford Pick-Up
Saturday afternoon, Anna and Steve and I drove up to see Aunt Linda and Uncle Frank. You might remember Uncle Frank and his 1955 Ford Pick-Up Truck post Uncle Frank was in my People at Work show. He is a master at restoring vintage vehicles.
Here he’s showing Steve the interior. Steve loved getting behind the wheel.
Here’s his 1933 Plymouth
Mirrored Art Car
Last week in Columbus I kept being drawn to Laura’s neighbor’s car. All those tiny mirrors glued on so meticulously. The reflections on the surrounding pavement.
Be sure to check out that passenger as we walked by.
I’ve posted another of his Art Cars 11 years ago.
Filling Up
At the gas station in Millvale. Not sure the model or year but will ask Uncle Frank in the morning and add that information. Update: This just in. 1948 Plymouth. Thank you Hope!

Night time view at Aunt Linda and Uncle Frank’s. You can see two of Uncle Frank’s vintage cars he’s restored.
When we pulled up to the stop sign, we saw Kennywood Fireworks at seemingly eye level because their street is up so high.
Remembering Nora
A wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter.
Well loved.
A teacher, a neighbor, a knitter.
A reader.
A colleague. A friend.
I took this photo of Nora in my living room at the Greenfield Holiday Party years ago.
Her radiant smile spoke of her generous heart, her loving spirit, her sense of humor, her easy laughter. She loved her family with her all.
Nora was a loyal blog follower since the beginning of the blog 7 years ago and wrote emails in response to photos she especially liked.
Alaska. Baked Orechiette. The family.
She always had a positive word and expressed gratitude for so much.
This morning. fellow Greenfielders and all those who loved her, gathered together to celebrate her life at a lovely Mass of Christian Burial.
She will be missed.
We will remember.
