I have been away from Findlay for 14 years. Oh the changes I see on my annual visit to Findlay---but isn't everyplace that way. I start my morning in Wolfie Cafe --My computer room with my wife at 5:00am drinking coffee , watching the news and reading the Courier. Steve Dillon is doing a good job on the editorial page---but I miss Cindy Moorehead. How can one contact her at her new job in Texas---I understand she is on the editorial page at the newspaper were she is employed.
Years ago I always started the day with "Cream for your morning coffee" in the Courier.

The Courier now has just about everything I need to keep in touch with Findlay. We moved to Paso Robles, CA 13½ years ago and are no longer able to come for a visit. I check all of the Courier every day. Agree with all of the Deitsch, Wilson, and Fern lovers. Thank goodness, when it is cool, Dietsches will ship to us, but for some reason it is impossible to get a banana split shipped.

Hi to all our friends in our hometown - We have been gone from Findlay since 1968, but we haven't forgotton all the good eating (Wilson's and Dietsch Bros.) Practically every note I've read memtions those two places. Next year is our 55th class reunion and we can't wait. We'll be in Findlay this weekend for my great neice's wedding reception at Riverbend. Hope all is well with our friends and family members who are still Findlayites. We'd like to hear from you at rsimpson1136@aoll.com

My husband grew up in Findlay before he joined the Navy in 1956. After leaving the Navy he moved to California where we met. We visited Findlay a few times. The last was in 2006. He passed away last year. Before joining the Navy he worked as a cook at the old Phoenix Hotel/Restaurant which no longer exists on Main St. Does anyone remember Paul G. Thomas? I thought Findlay was a very nice town and enjoyed my visits. Wish I could visit again.

Hi! I just wanted to say that I am SO thankful for The Courier. I was born and raised in findlay then when I was 19 I got married to a southern boy,moved away from everything I've ever known to be with the love I've ever known. (Aww) now living in New Orleans with my awesome husband, I'm extreamly homesick so I read The Courier everyday. =/ Hope to visit soon!!

I enjoy this site, I've been away from Findlay for 20 years, living in Indiana, and enjoy reading up on what is happening back home. I crave the Ferns meatloaf sandwiches every so often but the first stop is Jack & Dos Pizza! It appears the Blanchard river has caused some problems. The Kankakee river is threatning to do the same here. God Bless all those who have been affected.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING THE VIRTUAL VILLAE...I LIVED IN FINDLAY BEFORE GETTING MARRIED AND MOVING TO CHICAGO.....WE COME BACK TO OHIO 5 OR 6 TIMES PER YEAR AND THE FIRST PLACE WE GO IS WILSONS.......THAT AND DIETCHES ICE CREAM IS THE ONE THING WE REALLY MISS...FINDLAY IS A GREAT TOWN AND WE ENJOY OUR VISITS.......

After having our home for sale for six months it is now with drawn. It did not sale but the first 4 months we had many many “lookers’.
We are going to stay in Cowtown until the market improves---lol lol
Maybe we can spend a long visit this summer in Findlay. All of us that have moved from the area real enjoy talking to others about what Findlay is about.
I thank the Courier for the CEE for keeping me in touch about life in Findlay.
I was disappointed though that the Courier wanted $153 for me to have an article in the paper about our 50th wedding anniversary on Dec 24, 2008. Several of the staff including the editor sent me emails concerning the cost to the paper.
All in the entire Courier is still a good paper; Cindy Moorehead does an outstanding job with the editorial page. My brother Jerry was in the newspaper business for 35 years and still writes a weekly column for his home town paper.
God bless all in the Findlay area.
