That is a good book, I have a collection of all the Logging railroads in western Pa, lots of nice old pictures and stories. The one that covers John DuBois is great.

When I was a kid our phone number was just 4515. There were several others sharing the line, There was a lady down the hill that you always had to tell to hang the phone up because she picked it up as soon as you answered. One time my uncle called from Buffalo and Dad and Mom were in the field below the house and the lady came puffing up the road yelling Yiour brother Fran is on the phone..When it didn't quit ringing, she had answered.

Mine are outside the whole year, it took a few years to get started, they bloom very heavy now, must have been a hundred flowers this year, now is the time to pick off some of the seed pods to make more for next summer. If you don't pick and dry the pods the birds eat them. If you pick the wilting flower pedals and dry them they make a good tasting tea, which also can be bought from GNC.

I used to have an original copy of this book till I made the mistake of loaning it out.. http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&id=DTAs3BKkwEUC&dq=Reynoldsville,+PA+history&printsec=frontcover&source=web&ots=L1Rx1nr-SI&sig=bkUXPntEoipqcBX20x7qS9AM_9o&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=2&ct=result

Thanks Steve!!

I might add for the fossil hunters, go to the Sabula lower tunnel and go through it to the other side. A long time ago the far end caved in so they just dig into the hill till they got a place for a new header and they laid a stone wall on each side of the tracks. the walls taper from the tunnel head down to nothing, if you get on the walls and go up the bank there is fossils galore. I have sections of fern trees and some pieces that are from some critters back bone and also some large, what look like eggs, I sawed one in half with a masonry blade and the center looks like a yoke. Also there a lot of Brachopods, 250 billion year old snails
