The slender active man with the distinctive thatch of white hair is aways around when something's going on. Every Columbiana child is Perry's friend, from the tiniest ones barely able to say, "Hi Pewwy!," to the countless teenagers he as watched grow up. During the hot sumer days when the youngsters spend long hours at the popular park pool, Perry plays the role of a combination monitor and father confessor to the kids, sometimes servind as "mother's helper" by calling Johnny out of the pool in time for his music lesso or his supper. A native of Columbian, Perry is a 1923 gratudate of Columbiana High School, where he was captain of the footaball team in his senior year and active on the basketball squad as well as in school dramatic productions. He attended Ohio State for a time, then worked at several jobs in the next few years. His first association with the park was in 1935, the year of its inception. During that depresion summer when like so many others, he found himself "etween jobs," he served as one of the pool's first lifeguards. Later he went to work for Republic Steel Corporation in the metallurgical dept., and in 1937 became attached to Army Ordinance as part of a government steel inspection corps. He served 28 months in the Army during World War Ii in the Pacific and after the war went back with the inspection corps. After a stint with the inspection corps and a hitch as an expediter for a chair company in Youngstown, Perry decided that the business world was not for him. His chance to break away came in 1948 when Columiana's mayor, kenneth Gormley, and Marion Poulton, then president of the Park Board, asked him to come to Columiana as park manager. He areed to try it "for a year of two," as he put it, and this year observes his twentieth year on the job. Though the pay is not as high as that in the business world he left, the opportunities to be independent, to work in the out of doors, ad to get to know the many people who use the park have made his job satisfying one, Perry says. He has especially enjoyed watching and taking part in the park's development. He praised the Columbiana service clubs and garden clubs for their contributions to the upkeep of the park's buildings and grounds, and the Booster Club for its work on the athletic field and locker room. He also expressed gratitude for the VFW's Fourth of July firesorks display, which annually attracts thousands to the park's lawns and hillsides. The cooperative attitudes of Columbian's mayors council members and park boards have helped him greatly in his work, Perry attests. Probably the best part, though, is the satisfaction he feels wen he sees his young frinds grow up into happy young people and adults. His own children spent a large part of their growing years at the park with their Dad. He and his wife, Elizabeth, have a son and daughter. Karen, a graduate of OHio State University, is an occpational therapist at University of Michigan Hospital, and Perry, a senior at Ohio State, holds the distinction of being the highest ranking Army ROTC cadet in the United States - a major general. The Kysers make their home on South Range Road North Lima. Perry Kyser retired in Dec 1972 - He died in July 1973.. Marilyn Durr. end
