Hi Randy, it was good seeing you today.
Great blog, I learned a lot about Deutschtown that I was not familiar with.

Bis Bald!

We’re trying to revive some of the spirit of bustling Old Allegheny here–hundreds of us. In other neighborhoods too, like Allegheny West, Manchester, Mexican War Streets. Don’t even ask people over here what they think about tearing down most of Allegheny City to build Allegheny Center!

I look forward to getting a good copy of the historic photo from your family. We’ll use it on our new website and I’m sure Bob Baumbach will want to frame it or us it in his signage.

Thanks again Sally.

Randy, it’s so great to see part of my family’s history preserved like this! As a child I heard so many stories from my grandmother about my great-grandfather’s blacksmith shop. What a thrill it was to find out it still existed and was being restored! It was a moving experience to visit it and be part of the recreation of the photo that has been in our family for years. We are so proud that the shop is included in the history of “Old Allegheny”.

Thanks. BTW, Diana was just kidding about the ranting. She went offline to say that.

Wow. Coming from you, premier writer and producer, that’s quite a compliment. Thanks.

Now that you’re encouraged about the possibilities, go for it girl. You’d be great at blogging. You were doing it during Hurricane Mitch and had everyone on the edge of their seats and sending in $ for the cause. Plus, it could start some momentum on your book that we’re all waiting to read.
