Linda from Lingrow, what fun I’m having at the HomEXPO

I just had a chance to install FireFox for Linda of Lingrow Farm. First we had to capture some photos from a persnickety CD and copy them to her hard drive. Then it’s off to wherever we want, but we bring up her slide show whenever folks drop by.

The Beatty’s were just here and said hello – been married for 54 years and I suggested a party for all happily married folks in the area… at Lingrow Farm, of course.

Very very cool – free WIFI at Nite Courts

Just sitting here munching on a very good Philly cheese steak pizza and checking out my blog at the same time…. ah, let the good times roll!  Kudos to Nite Courts for being one of the first in Armstrong County, PA, to offer free WIFI.

Thank you, Darla

Darla is without a doubt our most valuable player when it comes to posting events.  She volunteers for her church, the Ford City Library, and Armstrong County Memorial Hospital and most, if not all, of their events show up on the Local4All calendar.

Thank you, Darla… Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and God Bless.

Nolan did a great job for Day #1

If Nolan had not created this map for his mom's business, I would have gotten lost finding it for our one-on-one interview.

If Nolan had not created this map for his mom's business, I would have gotten lost finding it for our one-on-one interview.

Nolan found our “Help Wanted” ad on a Local4All placemat and called in to check it out.  After talking with me for a while, he got busy with our free tools that anyone can use to help anyone else…  Cool, yes?

Nolan published two new maps to help customers find his mom’s kennel and another family business.  This one has a link to his mom’s website!

http://m417.local4all.com See photo above.  The real map(s) can be zoomed in or out before printing with two independently configurable maps on the same page, VERY handy to have in the car with you.  Google Maps had the wrong name for this section of Glade Run Road.

Thanks Neill!

Neill Andritz of River’s Edge Canoe & Kayak is acting as my conscience today… says it has been a long time since I’ve posted to my blog.  He’s right!  Thanks, Neill… hope you and Evelyn get even more people on the river next year, it’s good for our economy.

Bob Bowser is looking for family in Armstrong Co.

Hello Local4All readers,

If you know any Bowsers from Kittanning or the Apollo area, please check to see if they might be related to Robert Bowser, now of Lompoc, Calif.  Bob’s email to me is copied below with his permission:

My name is Robert (Bob) Bowser, Born in North Apollo, PA, 1934, and grew up and went to school in Vandergrift. I had an Aunt and Uncle who lived and died in your fine city and remember visiting them quite often when I was young. I am doing my family history and am related to all of the Bowser’s who hold their family reunion in Kittanning every year. I would like to know when and where the reunion is being held this year and how to get in touch with someone from the Historical Society for some research help. Being that I now live in California it would have to be by e-mail of snail-mail.
Any help you could give me would be appreciated.
Thank you
Bob Bowser

Thanks for your help,

It was pleasant to me to get a letter from you the other day. Perhaps
I should have found it pleasanter if I had been able to decipher it. I
don't think that I mastered anything beyond the date (which I knew) and
the signature (which I guessed at). There's a singular and a perpetual
charm in a letter of yours; it never grows old, it never loses its
novelty. Other letters are read and thrown away and forgotten, but
yours are kept forever -- unread. One of them will last a reasonable
man a lifetime.
