Phyllis Gilbert, whose husband, Bill Gilbert was instrumental in getting the funds needed for the clock, seating and upgrades to the park at Dixie and River Street. The clock was re-installed after an 18-month absence from a tragic accident knocked the clock down and damaged some seating and landscaping in the park. All is right again as the landscaping is looking lovely, and the clock is keeping time beautifully.
