DeGol Aviation was making progress in building a corporate hangar at the Altoona-Blair County Airport. DeGol Aviation leased 30,000 square feet between the airport terminal and the former FFA Automated Flight Service Center.

The Morrisons Cove Rotary awarded the distinguished Paul Harris Fellowship Award to Russell C. Hoover and Jeffrey W. Showalter. Recipients of the award met the high professional and personal standards set by Harris, who founded the Rotary.

A grant was received that would allow Cove fire, police, and emergency services to purchase new radios that would clear up the problem with dead spots and areas of bad reception and transmission of radio communications. Tim Hileman of the Altoona Fire Department worked with the Blair County Allied Firefighters Association to secure the grant.

Allen Baker, guidance counselor at Williamsburg High School, submitted his resignation to the school board.
