DAVIDSVILLE, Pa. (AP) As a Richland Township Police Department criminal investigator, retired Capt. Tony Palm spent much of his career handling tragic cases that brought criminals to justice.
But for many years, his mind often shifted nearly 50 years into reverse to a case with a small-town, storybook ending, he said.
It was the day he reunited a Bedford County family with a 3-year-old girl who was left inside Gee Bee store on Scalp Avenue – a moment captured by a Tribune-Democrat photographer’s lens in 1972.
As it turns out, that “little girl” – Bernadette Imgrund – hadn’t forgotten the day either.

Local Boy Reaches Eagle Scout
A young boy in Somerset County is making impressive strides within the Boy Scouts of America organization.
RyleJohn Wright is a seventh grader at Windber Area Middle School. The 14-year-old has worked his way up to achieve the prestigious title of Eagle Scout, years before one typically does at 16 or 17.
“In Boy Scouts, it starts out with Scout. That’s the very first rank you get. Then it goes to Tenderfoot, Second class, and then First class. Then it goes to Life. And then you can get eagle,” Wright explained.
This was no easy feat. To climb the ranks, RyleJohn had to earn all of those colorful patches seen on the sash he proudly wears.
