Dave Long over Lock Haven in 1948
 
I had lunch today with Rob Long, Don Shearer and John Lowery - we went to Pottstown for some GROWLERS!  While in Rob's office, I admired the above photo of his dad, Dave Long, in his Midget Mustang, so he gave me a digital copy for my website (above).  Dave was killed in a plane in 1950, but today there are hundreds of his design still flying.  In fact, #67 above is still operational.  Neat, huh? kp 10/8/2009

PS: I never met Rob's dad, but his mom, Barbara Long, was really nice.  She was County Treasurer for many years. 

Hey Rob, remember the gig at the Centre Hills Country Club!  Ha!

Now here's a coincidence.  A couple weeks ago Tom Gratz and I were driving down to Helen's Famous Sausage House in Smyrna, Delaware for breakfast.  My brother-in-law, Chris Sydlowski, told me about Helen's.  So I was driving down Route 13, and I remembered that Rob moved to South Delaware, but I didn't know where in Delaware.  I pulled over and called him on my cellphone.  I told him I was on my way to Helen's, and he asked where I was.  I said at the red light in Odessa.  He said you're only a couple minutes from my house!  He said he and Paula go to Helen's occasionally.  So we stopped by and took him along.  After breakfast we toured his beautiful new home.  Jeffersonville isn't the same without Rob & Paula :( kp 9/5/2011

Hey Mick . . . that tie hurts my eyeballs . . .
Cool
Nice plane though!

Mickey . . . remember the gig at the Lewisburg Penitentiary Officers Club?  You could really book 'em.  Just happens that a few years later, I knew a guy who worked in the Pen, Spence Craybill; and later yet I had a friend who's brother worked there too, sort of . . .

Speaking of prisons, now here's a guy who can get you a tour of one, or even arrange for a stay, short term or long term.

PRESIDENT JUDGE
J. Michael Williamson
 
I remember our first day in algebra class at Lock Haven Junior High, second floor, Miss Z.  I don't think Mike lasted a week in Miss Z's class, and he headed for the hills . . . The Hill School, that is.  But I was brave and stuck it out - and - did better than expected.  I landed a D- . . . ha!  And I'm here to say that I never once, not once, in my whole entire lifetime, needed to use algebra!  But maybe that's why Mike is the Judge, and I'm not?  (Solving for the unknown, get it?  Judge . . . never mind.)

Oh . . . another Lock Haven Sports Hero . . . Eddie Draucker (wrestler).  Ed won a District title and became Lock Haven's first State champion by pinning Forty Fort's returning State runner-up Bob Bach in the 105-pound finals of the 1940 State tournament.  Ed was a good egg.  Treated us kids good at his establishment.  Liked him.  (Wow . . . he was State Champ before I was born.  He didn't seem that old to me.)
