By Charley Githler| Ithaca Times Verified At any given moment, there is an 80% chance that the song going through my head is from a television commercial. That’s been true my whole life. Even more appalling, the odds are decent that the commercial in question last aired decades ago. I inherited the affliction from my father.

By Charley Githler| Ithaca Times Verified The first thing that grabs your attention when you walk into the exhibit space at the Tompkins County History Center is a World War I-era biplane. It’s the “Tommy Plane”, an original Thomas-Morse Scout S-4B, first built right here in Ithaca in 1918. It’s one of a few hundred made; for a time they were used to train virtually every World War I pilot. The plane is bigger than you might imagine, and meticulously, exquisitely restored.
