Old Downtown Fayetteville

Who remembers downtown Fayetteville?

On the right , farthest away, is Devoy's Store. Remember they used to put the line scores for the World Series on their front window when most of the games were played during the day.

Moving to the right would be Munger's Hardware store, then Beattie's Market and then George Gifford's Pharmacy. My dad had the shoe repair on the other side of the street under Bathouth's Shoe Store. I know, you remember them all!!!

From Chuck Gough...never at a loss for words. Welcome to Somerset Pa - home of Flight 93's final resting place. I've ceased doing anything that generates "earned" income, and spend my days doing grandchild daycare. Kerry, let's see a pic of the rest of your '39. Don, I also still have my slide rule, but at my age, like so many other things, I've forgotten how to use it. Al, do you still have your '54 MG? Jon, wasn't there a Saab dealer closer than Sweden? My car isn't a car - it's a van (my fourth), and it holds all eight (so far) of our grandchildren. Half played soccer this year(60 games), and one softball (16 games). In five years at our 50th, one will be in college. Time sure does fly!Chuck Gough - cwgough@verizon.net

Kerry, I still live in Fayetteville and it's a great place to be. There have been changes over the years, most for the better. I am retired now after spending 38 years with the power company and am loving it. I will get around the village over the next few weeks and get a few pictures of our village that may be of intrest and send them to you.Al Kinne

from Don Agostino on the west coast

I still have my old slide rule, but I've been in the computer industry now for over 25 years after leaving college teaching. And no, I never would have thought even 20 years ago there would be such things as blogs. Thanks, Kerry, for keeping us together.

Welcome to the world as it is today. What would we have thought a blog(ger) was in 1962? This will be fun so we need you to join in.

Ok- here goes my next attempt to get everyone involved. I traveled to Iowa City last weekend to see the Syracuse/Iowa football game at Kinnick Stadium. I was surprised at how much central Iowa was very similar to central New York. The grass, the weeds, the houses and the rolling hills. Toured the Iowa campus and enjoyed lunch at the famous Hamburg Inn on the main campus. Not bad for an old timer but Bill Clinton beat me there. I had a great time looking at the sights which included the Amana group of villages and Mt Pleasant. Even stopped at the Riverside casino for a short visit. That's all for this time. KR

Welcome aboard

Welcome to all members of the FM class of 1962. This is set up for all of us to use and to stay in touch with everyone. It's new to me so I hope it all works out well. Thanks. KR
