CLINTON—The Anderson County Senior Center has received the donation of a large puzzle depicting the skyline of New York City, pre-September 11, 2001.

Dave Conrad, a long-time participant in activities at the Anderson County Senior Center, said he put the puzzle together over a five-month period. The framed puzzle measures 3 1/2 feet x 5 feet in size.

“It’s something I enjoy doing, and I wanted to do this for the Senior Center,” he said when he delivered the puzzle to the facility located at 96 Mariner Point Drive.

Along with the Brooklyn Bridge, the puzzle shows the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center standing among the skyline, prior to the 2001 terrorist attacks that resulted in the deaths of thousands of people and the collapse of the towers. The twin towers were part of a seven-building complex that was home to more than 430 companies from 28 countries, according to the website, www.911memorial.org.

The puzzle soon will be on permanent display at the Anderson County Senior Center, which hosts numerous programs each month for senior citizens, age 60 and older. The activities calendar can be found at https://andersoncountytn.gov/office-on-aging-senior-center/.  The Senior Center is also home to the Office on Aging where seniors can find several helpful resources. To learn more, call (865) 457-3259.

The Anderson County Senior Center is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Anderson County Office on Aging and Senior Center are funded, in part, under a grant contract with the East Tennessee Human Resource Agency.
