This Certificate of Recognition is presented to Mrs. Marcella McGrogan upon the momentous occasion of her 90th birthday. Mrs. McGrogan, who with her late husband, Dan McGrogan Sr., formed the Historical Society of Carnegie in 1990, has devoted decades to preserving Carnegie Borough's history. Housed in the historic Husler Building on West Main Street, the society is home to Walter Stasik's miniature Main Street, a wooden scale-model of Carnegie's Main Street in 1940, as well as numerous artifacts, books and other possessions that once belonged to residents. Born to the late Charles E. and Louisa Daube Herman on July 20, 1924, Mrs. McGrogan attended St. Joseph Catholic School in Carnegie and graduated from Carnegie's St. Luke High School. She attended Seton Hill College, and from 1969 to 1989, she worked as a library associate at the University of Pittsburgh's Hillman Library. Mr. and Mrs. McGrogan raised 11 children, some of whom are involved in the historical society today. After 22 years of dedicated service as president of the historical society, Mrs. McGrogan retired in June 2012. We commend and thank Mrs. McGrogan for carefully preserving Carnegie's history for generations to come, and we wish her all the best as she celebrates her 90th birthday with family and friends.
