Castanea PA
This is where I started out in Castanea PA, my Mom &
Dad's house that my grandfather, John Sylvester Poorman built. I lived here from birth until I graduated from high school
(a miracle in itself). 15 East Brown Street, next door to the EUB/United Methodist Church. I also lived at 104
East Keller Street, a block away, for several years. I sold that property after Dad died. I worked for Bell
Telephone in Lock Haven when I lived there.

We lived on Carnarvon Drive, 3615 I think (now Robin
Hood Road) in Azalya Garden Apartments, near Military Highway and the Norfolk International Airport in 1963 when I was stationed
at the CINCLANTFLT / SACLANT base assigned to CWO George Briley. I remember taking Donna and Kenny out on the bay in a little motor boat at
the Lynnhaven Inlet, he was little, about two. I was with the CINCLANT FLT Band at that time. |
Don't forget Hogan Boulevard, Mill Hall Pa - no pix
And 104 East Keller St Castanea
- no pix
This is where I ended up in Castanea
Township, the house formerly owned by Dale Masters, where Dave Masters was raised. Nice little Cape on the river (before
they built that miserable dyke in front of it). We lived here in the early '70's, before moving to Altoona. Island
Route, Lock Haven PA, adjacent to the Piper Airport. I worked for Bell Tel on Mt. Pleasant Avenue in Jersey Shore when
we lived here. |

Altoona PA
Altoona's Llyswen Historic District was home for four years, 1973-1977 at 108 Aldrich Avenue, near Mansion Park. Heated in-ground pool in the back.
Next door to Leonard and Alyce Hite. Some of the streets around our hood were Ward Avenue, Logan Boulevard, Ruskin Drive,
Fort Roberdeau, Baker Boulevard and Mansion Boulevard. Scott attended the Baker Elementary School on Ward Avenue, two
blocks from our house. Kenny and Randy went to Altoona Junior High. My office was at 3615 Beale Avenue when I
worked for Bell of PA in Altoona. We used to go to musical performances at Baker Mansion, a couple blocks from our house.

This was our Valley Forge house, where we moved
in 1977 when I was transferred to Conshohocken. It had a Phoenixville zip code, and was a half mile West
of the Village of Valley Forge, near Freedom's Foundation. Kenny, Randy and Scott spent their teenage years here, went
to high school, worked at the King of Prussia Mall, etc. I sold it in 1987 when Donna and I went seperate ways.
Today (4/22/2010) I had lunch at the "G Lodge" restaurant nearby with Tom Gratz, the cop. After lunch
I drove by the house, thinking I might bump into our neighbors, Bill and Nancy Turner, in the yard, so I stopped by to
take this photo.

Aerial view of my place in Bridgeport PA - ha. I lived here for about 7 years, from
1987 to 1993. I had 3 bedrooms, and DJ lived with me for about 5 years, and my son Scott for a couple years. Walking
distance to Chick's Tavern - oh yeah.
