The rededication, hosted by the Edinboro University Council of Trustees in cooperation with the Edinboro University Alumni Association, honors outgoing University President Foster F. Diebold, who retires from office on June 30 after 17 years as Edinboro president. Built in 1906 at a cost of $16,980, the building initially served as the second gymnasium for the Edinboro State Normal School, and until construction of Crawford Gymnasium in 1940, it was the sole gymnasium facility serving the campus. During World War II, the building served as a barracks for marshalling troops, and in the years immediately after the war, a temporary quartering facility for returning servicemen. During the post-war enrollment boom, it was a dormitory and office complex. From 1952 to 1971, it was designated as the Student Union, and is still known to thousands of Edinboro alumni as the “Old Union,” the “Old College Union” or similar variations. By 1971, the building was the home of the College Union Theatre until it was closed for repairs in 1982. In 1985, Diebold began a $3.6 million, joint state-private fund-raising campaign to restore the Old Union and the adjacent Reeder Hall facility which was built in 1908 and in such a state of disrepair that it was scheduled to be razed. - more - EDINBORO BUILDING TO BE NAMED FOR DIEBOLD, continued page 2 Diebold’s fund-raising efforts spared both buildings from destruction. While the Commonwealth committed $2.1 million to the restoration project, he personally raised the needed $1.5 million from private sources to undertake the effort. Renovations to the Old Union were completed in 1986 and the Center for the Performing Arts dedicated at an October 1987 reception for University employees who donated to the campaign. Since its formal opening in the spring of 1988, the Center has added an enhanced cultural, social and community service dimension to the campus. In addition to staging local theatre productions and hosting visiting theatrical companies, it has accommodated guest lecturers, served as a classroom laboratory and recital hall for the music and English and theatre arts departments. It has also served as a site for special seminars, workshops and continuing education programs, and it houses the Intergenerational Center for senior citizens in the region. The ceremony and reception to rededicate the Diebold Center for the Performing Arts are open to the public and will be held on the lawn area in front of the building.

They are the owners of Hidden Treasures toy store in Erie. The graduates of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania started the business 10 years ago because of their disappointment at shopping in traditional toy stores. “There was nothing there we wanted to spend our money on,” said Becky. “We wanted something that had real quality and would last a long time.” Their four children now range from 12 to college age. So, in a leap of faith, the Bookhamers quit their jobs and opened Hidden Treasures. From the beginning their philosophy was to search the world over to find alternative toys not available in big toy store chains - things like wooden trains from Sweden and Playmobils from Germany. They emphasize that their toys are age appropriate, ranging from developmental toys for infants to brain teasers and arts and crafts for older children. They find toys by attending the New York Toy Fair every year, and this year they made a trip to the Nuremberg Toy Fair, the largest such show in the world. Not only is it important to provide quality toys, the Bookhamers believe it is important to know the people who make and market the toys and support those businesses which keep the consumer in mind. Among their suppliers is Holgate Toys of Kane, Pa., which is owned by another Edinboro graduate, Richard Bly (‘77). Holgate makes wooden toys and is perhaps best known for its trolley from public television’s Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. -more- A member of the State System of Higher Education EDINBORO GRADUATES FIND SUCCESS, Continued Page 2 The store also features specialty dolls and stuffed bears like the Madam Alexander Dolls and the Steiff Bears from Germany. They have bears and dolls from as many as 60-70 artists, and gift cards and gift bags so customers can come in, buy a present, have it packaged attractively and go straight to the party. “We provide a lot of special services,” said Becky, “service you won’t find anywhere else.” Perhaps that’s why their customers have included Governor Tom Ridge and his family. Another factor in the success of the business has been the environment they created within the store itself. After several years in a traditional retail space, they bought one of the oldest houses on West 26th Street and renovated it extensively, creating an ambiance that invites people to linger as long as they like. “The renovations were done with a lot of thought. It’s a very pleasant, upbeat store,” she said. “I like the retail business because I’m able to meet a lot of people and bring some joy into their lives.” In recognition of the Bookhamer’s conversion of a residence into an inviting retail location, the Millcreek Township Planning Commission presented them with its 1995 design award for renovations. -30BKPrbja June 20, 1996 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: EDINBORO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ATTAIN ACADEMIC HONORS One thousand three hundred forty seven students were named to the Dean’s List at Edinboro University for the 1996 spring semester.

The Old College Union reopened in 1986 as the Center for the Performing Arts, while Reeder Hall was returned to operation the same year to serve as the main administration building. “Pve been fortunate to receive many honors lately, but at the top of the list is the overwhelming honor of having a building named after me, especially one of my favorite buildings,” Diebold said at the dedication ceremony, which was hosted by the University’s Council of Trustees in cooperation with the Edinboro Alumni Association. “But surely, to have the honor itself to have served Edinboro University has been niy primary honor and good fortune for these past 17 years,” said Diebold. -moreA member of the State System of Higher Education DIEBOLD CENTER DEDICATED AT EDINBORO, Continued Page 2 Several proclamations and other commendations were read and presented to Diebold during the ceremony.
