Somerset County Bar Association Dedicates Uhl Attorneys' Meeting Room
February/23/2006 Filed in: Local News
The Somerset County Bar Association remembered Simon K. Uhl, Esq. (1903-1999) at a special court session on February 22, 2006. Using a bequest from Mr. Uhl's estate made in honor his father, Charles F. Uhl, also a Somerset Attorney, the association refurbished and outfitted an attorney's meeting room in the Somerset County Courthouse. The refurbishing project was coordinated and directed by Jack Dirienzo. Jim Cascio made one of the presentations in memory of Mr. Uhl (click here for the full text), and Jeff Berkey, president of the Association, welcomed participants, including Simon's 92 year old sister Allison Uhl Kelley.

"Little" Jeff Berkey Lights it Up
February/19/2006 Filed in: About Us
The Shanksville Stonycreek Vikings repeated as the Westpac boys basketball champions on Saturday with a 71-70 overtime win against Conemaugh Valley. Playing in front of a big crowd that included his mom and dad at UPJ's Sports Center, Jeff achieved a major personal milestone in the championship game, breaking the 2000 point barrier in his outstanding high school career, moving into fifth place among all time scorers in Somerset County's history. Jeff's coach, Wayne Long, praised his work ethic.
Considering his dad's 800 plus points as a Windber Rambler in the 1970s and the outstanding play of Jeff's sisters (Emma, a sophomore for the lady Vikings, is averaging over 16 points a game), the Berkey family has been wowing Somerset County hoops fans for generations.
We guess we'll have to quit calling him "Little" Jeff Berkey around here.
