  1. Doctor Hassen was my grandson's doctor and did an amazing job. He also communicated things very, very well!
  2. Great picture! Glad to hear she's doing well! Penn Highlands NICU is superb! One of my grandsons will be turning five in a few weeks, and if it wasn't for the efforts at the Penn Highlands NICU, he may never have made it!
  3. Do the first for the enjoyment of local history, and if it moves you, do one for money! Back when this thread first started, while killing time in a hotel room, I read a John Grisham novel by the name of "Callico Joe". The book was not in Grisham's normal lawyer style, but was a fictional work written around factual sports figures. In this case it was about baseball players from the late 70's to early 80's, and ignited memories I had forgotten. My point is, Grisham took a book of sports figures & facts, then tied all together around a fictional character. But back to your original idea, it sounds very interesting and one I would definitely buy.
  4. Will items such as this, be representative of your book content (question is meant in a very positive way)? If so, I would not rush to publish, but rather look for guidance from a national firm, as you may have something that interests far more than local people (sort of in the "Bathroom Reader" genre). In preparation to write, what other books are you reading or what other books have influenced you in this pursuit?
  5. For old pictures from across the US, do a web search for "Shorpy", which is an archives of pictures submitted by viewers. There have been pictures from DuBois on the site that I've never seen elsewhere.
  6. Do you have a newspaper clipping or such, that could be scanned & posted? Local history is always fascinating!
  7. I must be lucky having seen two in the yard at camp! Cousin saw five, but one of those was with me. Also we do not kil them.
  8. I generally prefer to shower each day.
  9. For you or your hound? Personally, I like the flavor of Purina One-special Chinese flavoring!
  10. As far as roof lines go, as an example, consider what the downtown Deposit Bank once had as a roof line: hip roof, with dormers and even gargoyles looking out over the street. Roof was flattened, w/mansards added in 1979 (along with the brick facade). Maybe someone from the historical society can post a pre-1979 pic? Point is, what was shown on the photo may not be what exists today, if still standing. Building(s) could have been enlarged, roofline drastically changed, etc.
  11. I inclined to think somewhere in Clearfield, perhaps along River Drive. At the center, there appears to be some sort of dignitary (possibly seated), with the others gathered around him/her.
  12. Me and the Dogg didn't hug today, but we did shake paws!
  13. Way too young and way too nice of a person. RIP Shmoop.
  14. Don't forget the cemetery back of the Animal Hospital on Shaffer Road. Believe it may be a St. Catherine's Annex, though I'm not sure.
  15. Adopted pets are funny-almost as if they "know" they're finally with someone that actually wants them. One of our beagles dies after less than 14 months, from liver cancer. Vet told us the dog was sick for at least a year, if not longer and suspected previous owner gave the dog up instead of treating him. Second beagle was a very old fellow-adoption papers said 7 or 8, but he looked double that, and acted like a geriatric beagle! Great dog, followed me everywhere. We did have another for a short time that was incorrigible and had to go back because of increasing aggressive behavior including non-playful biting.
  16. We've had three rescue beagles. First two were older that only had a few years of life left with us. Current beagle is quite the dog and only 5, so she'll be around for a while.
  17. Cherry Springs is well known as a destination for amateur astronomers. There are some 'scopes there that would rival some of what NASA has!
  18. You mean like Jack Daniels or Crown Royal????
  19. I thought you've posted that you regularly pee off your porch?
  20. But, if they see the movie "50 Shades of Gray", they can try various ways to effect color variations.
  21. Looks like an alien pre-landing inspector for "Asteroids, Inc." scouting out ground zero for their September landing.
  22. Dayam! Llamas are my favorite beasts! I would have visited, bringing frankisence and murr (spelling may not be quite right).
