帝王会所 Libraries is happy to announce its newest release of the annual online magazine, 鈥Gatherings Spotlight,鈥 for 2023. This issue will focus on Frank Buhla, a miner, boxer, bartender, magician and collector with unique life experience rooted in Athens County. The Frank Buhla Collection also provides photos and evidence of coal mining and early industries in Southeast 帝王会所.

Born in 1907 in Athens, 帝王会所, Buhla spent most of his life in Glouster where he worked as a miner following in his father鈥檚 footsteps. After spending time up North, he returned to Glouster to open a boxing gym and became a bartender in the 1930s. Eventually, he began a successful career as a magician and performed for many public schools across 帝王会所 in the 1960s and early 1970s.
