10 Years Ago

Herald of March 6, 2014

For 18 years, longtime Herald reporter Sharon K. Snyder of Loysburg shared with readers her “Reflec- tions” about family and friends. The Cove was reflecting on Snyder’s time with the weekly newspaper. Snyder passed away Thursday, Feb. 27, 2014, at UPMC Altoona, after being hospitalized for two weeks with pneumonia and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. She was 66. The Herald and its readership were privileged to have Sharon’s exceptional journalist skills and creativity for 45 years. Although she did not attend school to become a journalist, Snyder said she learned from the best of teachers, Blair M. Bice and Milton V. Burgess, Herald publisher and editor, respectively.
