Senior Center board member turning 100
Harold Nusbaum is turning
100 years old in February and
he would like friends, family
and acquaintances to help him
celebrate.
The party will be Saturday,
Feb. 13, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the
Florence Senior Center, 1570
Kingwood St.
The senior center is familiar
territory for Nusbaum.
He began working with the
center in 1984, soon after he
retired from the forest industry
and it has kept him busy ever
since.
“I think that’s what’s kept
me alive all these years,” said
Nusbaum.
He has been on the board of
directors for the past 32 years.
Nearly half that time he acted
as board president. He was the
Senior Center’s bingo manager

for at least 25 years and he
delivered Meals on Wheels
much of that time.
In 2000, Nusbaum was
named the J.C. Penney
Volunteer of the Year, with
Nusbaum donating the $500
prize to the Senior Center.
Nusbaum was born Feb. 10,
1916, in Steel, N.D. He started
working in the woods, falling
timber when he was just 15
years old. Soon after, he lost
one of his eyes during an acci-
dent cutting wood.
But that didn’t stop
Nusbaum. He continued work-
ing most of his life.
He worked in a barrel facto-
ry and for Hanes Lumber
before moving on to U.S.
Plywood, where he spent most
of his career. He started as a
lumber scaler and retired as
manager of the boiler room.
For about 15 years,
Nusbaum worked at the ply-
wood plant during the day and
sold insurance at night.
During World War II,
Nusbaum joined the Army Air
Force, where he worked as an
airplane mechanic from 1942
to 1944. When the war was
over he returned to the timber
industry.
Nusbaum married Vivian
Sheels in July 1937.
She passed away in 1991.
He married Tacy Girton in
March 1992, and she died in
2004. Today he shares his life
with his live-in partner, Mary
Weber.
Although he has no children
of his own, Nusbaum has two
step-children from his second
marriage. He has two grand-
children (one who is deceased),
along with four great-grand-
children and four great-great-
grandchildren.
Nusbaum
has
called
Florence home since 1946.

Sally Wantz, the hostess for
the event, promises to be irrev-
erent, sarcastic and funny.
Sympathy and hugs will be
offered to the heartbroken.
Bettie Egerton, chairperson
for this event says, “If you are
happily in love, it would be
best if you didn’t show up. But
if your heart has been stomped
on and broken into a thousand
little pieces, we would love to
have you join us in this fun-
filled event. We will provide
tissues.”
Sponsors for this event
include: Old Town Inn,
Riverhouse
Inn,

All profits from this event
support “Give Youth a Voice,”
which teaches teens to tell their
story and express their emo-
tions through spoken word
poetry.
The two leaders of the teen
program, Noah Schultz and
Stephen Fowler, will perform
some of their spoken word
poetry and give a brief presen-
tation on how poetry trans-
formed their lives.
