bona student gives locals a shout out...

[thesenator]

nice article in yesterday's bv about a student who had a nasty accident on tuesday that fortunately did not result in her getting seriously injured...she praised a woman and an elderly couple for their immediate attention in getting her help...the student thanked ems for their prompt respond time and the sheriff for being so reassuring that everything was going to be ok...a nice firefighter and the pleasantness of the nurses, receptionists and radiologists at the er were also mentioned...i'm glad the student is ok and i'm equally glad that she took the time to acknowledge the good people that live here...

She's a local herself.

i didn't know that...would love to see her talk up bonas to hs kids in the area...i think one way we can grow the enrollment is getting more local kids to stay home and get their college education at bonas...

Yes, here's a video about her made last year:

I don't know for a fact, but I assume she must be the daughter of Earl and Michiko McElfresh. Earl is a well-known mapmaker, particularly with respect to the Civil War, and Michiko is the Olean School Board President.
