Schuylkill Haven History
| NAME: chris caraher email:labor74@optionline.net 1/2/07 Enjoyed viewing your pages;some triggered memories of conversations I'd heard growing up like Tumbling Run & all the trolleys & trains that traversed the County. Congratulations on some beautiful work. (I'm originally from Frackville) |
| NAME: Scott Wagner email: swagner444@aol.com 1/2/07 You did a great job on this web site. Since my ancestors operated a canal boat on the canal I am most interested in this mode of transportation. |
| NAME: earl wagner email: wagnerv@bellsouth.net 1/3/07 Thank you very much for this web-site. Please continue the good work. |
| NAME: kevin berger email: kvnber4@msn.com 1/5/07 Excellent job,keep up the good work. Visit us at the Sch. CO. AG. museum this summer. |
| NAME: Marie E. Laubenstine email: mlaubenstine@comcast.net 1/5/07 I love the website. I also love to work with my family tree when I have time. My oldest daughter also loves history and will enjoy your website. I have added it to my favorites list. Best of luck with this project. |
| NAME: Barbara Conage email: conages@verizon.net 1/9/07 Your website is fantastic. Both my husband and I visit it often. |
| NAME: Randy Moyer email: r.moyer@att.net 1/13/07 I love your website! The dedication to your wife is touching. I graduated from SHHS in 1973. I am trying to remember you, but cannot at this time. I live in the Lancaster area, but both my family and my wife's family still live in or around Sch Haven. I have a keen interest in local history and enjoy Colleen Hoptack's three books. I was very good friends with Dr Paul Christman, a long time Sch Haven educator. He had many stories to share upon his arrival to town on the train and 1 year residence on the 3rd floor of the Grand Hotel in 1922. My great grandfather helped construct the Dock street arch for the PRR. My grandfather operated a business on Lincoln Street and later, on East Main St. |
| NAME: Marie Vitelli email: rickilu50@hotmail.com 1/13/07 I have enjoyed reading all the interesting items on your site. You are doing a terrific job. I look forward to it's continued development. Is there much information to be found about the canal and boats that were built in Landingville. Is there much information on the small borough of Landingville?? Thank you. |

| NAME: Bright Kantner email:juniork345@verizon.net 1/18/07 I enjoyed looking at past memories on your website. Keep up the good work. Your pictures of the rail yards are excellent. Hope to see more, especially of the Irish flats, where I lived for 18 years. |
| NAME: Ellen Bubeck Laurent email: nellens@bellsouth.net 1/22/07 Two people have now referred me to your web page and I am thrilled with the contents. I was born in Schuylkill Haven and lived there through first grade, at East Ward. In 1947, we moved to Allentown until the Korean War called my father, Eric Bubeck, back into the Marines. We spent many weekends in Haven after that, and I spent a lot of time in the summers there with my paternal grandparents, the Percy Bubecks, at 110 E Main Street. I have such fond memories of the town and am now deeply involved in all phases of genealogical research in all branches of mine and my husband's family. My great grandfather was Henry Bressler, the band leader. He was my grandmother's father. |

| NAME: Sharman Meck Carroll email: pafamroots@aol.com 1/24/07 Just found your website. Great job on this website. Would like to know more about the old baseball teams of Schuylkill Haven in the 1930's/40's/&50's |
Welcome to a view into the past...
| NAME: Ellen Guertler email: caliopist@hotmail.com 1/29/07 You are doing a great service to the community with all the scenes, personalities, etc that are now history. Thank you for profiling my cousin Roy on your "Personalities" link. You with your photos and I with the printed word will not let Schuylkill Haven's history gather dust. |
| NAME: Mary Laubenstine Surgeoner email: msurgeoner@mbrcsi.com 2/2/07 Rick, My sister in law, Marie Laubenstine e-mailed me this web site, and noted how much she and her daughter Tara enjoy looking at the pictures together. At first glance I think you should know your doing a wonderful thing, and the task of designing this must have been overwhelming. I appreciate the time you've taken to develop this and as my sister in law stated in her e-mail to me "your mother would have loved this." She is absolutely right, my mother Doris was so proud of her little town Schuylkill Haven. The history of the town was and its people were one her most favorite topics to discuss. Best wishes to you in obtaining as much information and pictures to keep this process going |
| NAME: Ruth Laubenstine Yablonski email: rulaya@aol.com 2/3/07 Congratulations Rick! This web site is wonderful - Very informative with great historical pictures. Perhaps a future addition could include the churches of Sch. Haven with their histories. I wish you the best of luck with this project. |
| NAME: Jim Deibler email: jdeibler@stny.rr.com 2/5/07 I certainly enjoy checking this website out periodically. One area that is certainly different is the lower end of Parkway. Being an "Edgewood" kid, the old coal breaker and coal banks were our favorite "playgrounds" long ago. Today, it is a mobile home park. Once again, congratulations on a great site! |
| NAME: Carol Laubenstine Umbenhauer 2/6/07 Hi Rick, What a wonderful web site – you should be proud. My mother would have loved this! Thank You. |
