Wilbur was a friend to everyone and always saw the best in people. Just about everyone in Lehighton has a Wilbur story and they are all funny.
Wilbur was the founding member of the “Grove Guerillas”. The Grove Guerillas started as a rag tag sandlot football team. It evolved to a basketball team and finally to a social comradery that just had a good time at the Grove.
