The Square

By -

Obviously this is a picture of the town square (I have no idea of when or where I got it). I don't know what year it is (and I can't even tell by those cars [but I think it is in the 60's]). I don't remember them pave the road, do you?

Brian, The cars are early 50's so my guess that this photo is from the latter half of the decade. The Clover Farm is gone now, but it seems that the town square is still a "vibrant" spot from recent FB posts.

Carey, I think it must be you. Zalar's barber shop is just out of sight to the right of the Clover Farm. This is where dad had his hair cut for years. None of the boys ever had a "store bought" haircut in all the years in Carmichaels. If you were 3rd or 4th on the yellow Cosco stool in the kitchen for the Friday night shearing, you were in danger of being burned from the red hot clippers. BTW, where were you when we went to Uniontown to the Green Stamps redemption store to buy the clippers with six hard earned books of Green Stamps?

Thanks, Brian. That is cool. Where is the vantage point that they took the photo from? The top of the Lund Theater?

Family Contacts

 Carey called me and asked if I could find the listing of contacts for our family that he created years ago.  I did have a file copy and Carey and I updated it.  I have attached this here in Word and Pages that can be edited for new entries and updates.  There is also a PDF copy.  I added sections for Aunts & Uncles and Cousins.  These sections are missing people and dates, but perhaps I can work with Kristin to fill in some of this.

 When watching the evening news today, I saw an image of coal barges lined up at the docks at the USS Mon Valley Steel Plant.  Of course the news segment was about the White House blocking the sale of USS to Nippon Steel.  My mind wandered to to dad's career at the Robena Prep Plant.  I didn't think that it was still in operation but I searched for more information.  I found that the Robena deep mines closed in 1983, but plant continued to operate until 2017 processing coal from surface mining for Consol Mining.  It seems that reclamation of the site began many years before 2017, most likely mandated by local concerns about environmental damage from seepage from the three large slurry ponds and other surface contamination.  Dad took me out one Sunday afternoon to inspect the dikes and berms around the ponds.  We had to hop into one of the big company trucks to traverse the dirt roads around the site. I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
