Let's look at this outstanding person.
Here is a man who has devoted over 50 years of his life to Tyrone. WTRN is a fixture in the Tyrone community. WTRN was there when Tyrone won the State football title in 1999. WTRN was there when Bellwood won the State baseball title.
He has always been there to broadcast the parades in Tyrone and just try describing a parade on the radio. You have to have an amazing mind and creativity to paint the picture of the parade that goes by. He also is always there when a cub or boy scout troop wants to come visit the station to get their communications badges.
His wife Betty, was a leader in the community as well. As a member of the Hospital Board, Tyrone Womens Club and many other things that went well below the radar screen, she gave back huge to the community she grew up in.
I am thankful to the Simpsons because without them, who knows where or what I would be doing now. They gave me a chance to be on the radio. They gave me an opportunity as a 10 year old boy to interview Nick Leasure when he scored his 1,000th career point at St. Francis.
Cary has also through WTRN homored many Outstanding Citizens in Tyrone for giving back to the community.
To use the final line from his award, Cary and Betty Simpson help make this a better place that we call home.
