90-year-old devotes decades to preserving the Wissahickon War Memorial
Phil Moyer recalls being 4 years old when the Wissahickon War Memorial took root at the corner of Rochelle Avenue and Sumac Street.
That was in 1939.
In 2025, he can be found there cutting grass and polishing plaques. It's nothing new for the 90-year-old who has dedicated decades to growing and maintaining the memorial.
It has become a community affair, with many neighbors joining Moyer in his efforts to keep the memorial tidy.
Moyer is not a veteran himself, but the monuments remind him of his many friends who served in the military. Although they have since passed on, he remembers their dedication to the community.
He has no plans to stop caring for the street corner that has brought so much peace and comfort to the neighborhood over the years.

Tropical Storm Rachel Expected to Impact Southern California and Surrounding States | Complex Setup
Once again, the setup remains to be very complex, so it is no surprise that the track remains difficult to pin down with now almost two areas of shift possible. A cutoff low, an upper level trough, and what remains of Rachel all have to interact, with their timing and positioning playing a major role in how this unfolds. Even small changes could shift where the deepest moisture moves, where the lifting mechanism is, where thunderstorms develop, and which areas receive the heaviest rainfall. That is why individual model runs can show noticeably different outcomes. Confidence should improve as these features evolve, but the exact track and rainfall totals still have room to change still.
