Comments:	I'm a Coughlin HS grad ('69). Glad that I grew up in the Wyoming Valley when I did, just as glad that I'm not there now. Less-and-less frequent visits home indicate that the memories of the 50's & 60's beat the present day reality.

Comments:	What a wonderful way to celebrate the region that we grew up in. I was a graduate of Mt. Carmel High School in 1986. Although I moved away approximately 5 years ago, I still make several trips a year back home. There is nothing like it. We have taken many friends with us when we go home, and they all agree that it is a wonderful place with great heritage. This web site is a wonderful idea and it is very well put together. Keep up the good work! GO RED TORNADOES!!!

Comments:	We moved after my 7th grade year at MCAHS to another part of PA. I didn't think that i missed it until my mom sent me an article about Langis' Ice Cream burning down. It brought back many happy memories, so i began searching. I love the "coal speak" and i love the photos. More history on Mount Carmel would be great tho.

I'd like to hear from anyone who graduated in 1988 from North Schuylkill or who should have. I know some stayed back for sports. Email me. Would love to know where some folks are! Saw a Jim Batdorf signed message board. I remember a "Jimmy Batdorf" from grade school and NSHS. Last year I went was 1983---he was the caterpillar in the play Alice In Wonderland! Get a hold of me! Take care, all! Cheryl

Comments:	Does anybody remember the up-da-back beer party that was busted in the 90's? It consisted of John Elway, Bo Jackson, and Marcus Allen. The police officer caught one of the individuals (Elway) and asked for his I.D. He showed the officer his I.D. and it was a football card of John Elway. They then asked him who supplied the beer and he (John) informed them that Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen were present: Wow! What a moment in Shenandoah!

Comments:	My oldest stepson told me about this web site. My husband (Harold Smith) was born in Elysburg. His 2 sisters and 1 brother now live in Danville. The 2nd brother lives in Bethlehem. I have relatives in the Landisburg area as well as the Langhorne area. My parents moved from PA when I was only 9 and we lived in Connecticut until I was 17. But now I consider myself an Arizozna native because I've lived here for 42 years....but the PA ties are very strong. We are an airline family so coming back frequently is no problem and my stepkids do it 2 or 3 times a year.
