Glenda Matthews - Connellsville, Pennsylvania
This bench was placed as part of a installation of 17 benches in and around the Jewel of the Yough River Trail Council's property at the Stewart's Crossing Trailhead. 4 benches were placed 1/2 mile north of Stewart's Crossing, a handful were placed at the camping area and the remainder will be placed at Yough River Park. Furthermore, the backs of the benches are able to be swiveled in direction to change the occupant's view to whatever they desire to view at the moment of resting.
This bench honors the memory of Glenda Matthews, the mother of local career and technology center carpentry class instructor, who with the guidance of the trail council, built and installed several elements of the trailhead and camping area including, but not limited to the four Adirondack shelters, picnic tables and yes, the benches.
