BROOKVILLE â Ten-year-old Brock Roy of DuBois was surprised Friday afternoon when he was escorted through three towns by police cars and fire trucks as he was on his way home from the hospital.
Brock was diagnosed with a form of leukemia the summer after he completed first grade. Now a fifth-grader in the DuBois schools, he had his last chemo treatment Friday at Childrenâs Hospital in Pittsburgh.
Elisha Burns, who was his fourth-grade teacher at Juniata Elementary School, said, âIt has been a long, hard battle for him.â Treatment included spinal chemo, oral chemo and blood thinners.
âBrock is cancer free,â she said, âand he deserves a celebration, even if it is COVID style. He got to ring the bell after his last treatment, a tradition in the cancer center, but the doctors and nurses werenât able to line the hallways.â
DuBOIS â The Hitching Post on Liberty Boulevard in DuBois has been a family affair for nearly 50 years â a place where many have created conversations and memories for decades.
Her parents, Bob Sr. and Dianne Harmick, opened the 24/seven business in 1971, starting with just âseven bottles of booze,â said co-owner Robin Meholick.
âEveryone in the family has worked here,â she said.
Prior to becoming the Post, the business was âH&H (Harmick and Hershberger) Pizza, where Meholick says her grandmother made all of the pizzas.
Meholickâs brother, Ryan Harmick, and her mother, Dianne, are also currently co-owners. Bob Harmick Sr. died 26 years ago.
