The man on the right was Paul "Tiny" Fisher. Tiny was a local man, the "voice" of East Liverpool's first radio station, WLIO which broadcast originally out of Mike Turk's Buick Auto dealership on the corner of Walnut and 6th streets. Tiny eventually became the "voice" of WOHI. Tiny's family owned Fisher farm which which combined with another farm would make up what is called "Pleasant Heights".

Hyperlinking, or as it is also called framing, without permission is not permitted.
Legally speaking framing is still in a murky area of the law though there have been court cases in which framing has been seen as violation of copyright law. Many cases that were taken to court ended up settling out-of-court with the one doing the framing agreeing to cease framing and to just use a regular link to the other site.
The East Liverpool Historical Society pays fees to keep their site online. A person framing the Society site is effectively presenting the entire East Liverpool Historical Society web site as his own site and doing it at no cost to himself, i.e. stealing the site.
The East Liverpool Historical Society reserves the right to charge such an individual a fee for the use of the Society’s material.
