Ronnie Sando of Beaver Meadows, stands at a commemorative storyboard plaque Sunday at the newly unveiled Sheppton community park. The park pays tribute to the famous 1963 mine tragedy and miracle in which miner David Fellin and Henry Throne were saved but Louis Bova was never found. Sando, 87, former welder at Pagnotti Enterprises, is one of the last surviving rescuers. The East Union Township park was funded by a charitable arm of Mericle Commercial Real Estate Services and no taxpayer money was used. DONALD R. SERFASS/SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS
