What A Guy! Clarence was lots of fun in our class play "Hillbilly Weddin". I tried to take a different route when exiting the study hall because he was such a big tease. He drew a cute cartoon for me on his name card, that we exchanged, when we graduated. God Bless his Family!

To the Hine family. Trevorton has lost a legend. Your father truly was a unique person and a true friend. My husband has many fond memories of growing up with Hiney at the lower end of Trevorton. We moved from Trevorton approximately 20 years ago and whenever your father saw a member of my family he always ask how we were doing. May the memories of him always comfort your family with peace and happiness.

To the Hine Family,
I knew your Dad many years ago. I grew up in Trevorton, listening to many stories from my Dad about the "fun" times "Hiney", my Dad, and his brothers had. I was also a classmate of Brenda's from kindergarden to 7th grade, until I moved to Sunbury when my parents divorced. I know what you are feeling, as my Dad passed last year. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
