Legacy Oral History Series
We recently kicked off our “Legacy Oral History Series.” The series will feature long-time residents, employees and business owners of Cuyahoga Falls.
Our inaugural interview features 96-year young Randy Weitzell, a lifetime resident of Cuyahoga Falls. Randy wove quite a tapestry of tales which included recollections of his childhood in the Falls, his military service in WWII, and his almost 30 years as a Cuyahoga Falls Police Officer.
Randy was sworn to uphold law and order as an adult, however, as a youngster, he sometimes found himself on the opposite side of it during his escapades as part of the “East Side Gang.” In the video below he recounts one of those adventures which took place at Falls Lumber, as well as, his resulting penalty.
We will be releasing more of Randy’s adventures over time so stay tuned!
***If you or anyone you know would like to participate in our “Legacy Oral History Series” we would love to hear from you!***
