Yes it is Kevin. A small world 🙂

@@mylifein75sqft87 as youngster in Jeannette I played football for the Jeannette Midgets back in the 60s, ‘63-‘67. At that time Penn and Trafford didn’t have any midget teams. All those kids had to come to Jeannette and play for the Jeannette Midgets. I played with some great football players from Penn and Trafford. When Penn and Trafford joined together Jeannette Midgets lost all those players. In 1967 Penn-Trafford started their own Midget teams, The Penn-Trafford Indians. One name stands out in my mind who was a great running back I played on the Jeannette Midgets with then in ‘67 he played for Penn-Trafford his last name is Martini. This kid could run the ball. He was big fast and elusive. Those were the days.😊

@@kevinmcclainsr.2706 yeah, Martini had big legs, so he wasn't easy to bring down. He could hit a baseball far too.

@@mylifein75sqft87 yea I know! As well as playing with him on the Jeannette Midgets. I had to play against him when he played with the Penn-Trafford Indians 13 year old team. He ran all over us. My friend Ronnie Evans father was Mayor of Trafford I do believe. I remember as a youngster Ronnie’s father played softball in Crabtree. He was a great player too.

Was the bus route 67F?? I think Wallace trailer park was right off Ardara stretch of I'm remembering correctly

Thanks Lloyd. Good bless you too. Thanks for watching.

Wow. That's really nice. Everyone knew the Pogues, he was the Dr. I remember the Erwin's. I haven't lived in Trafford for a lot of years now, so I forget some things. I had lots of friends that went to St Regis. Thanks for commenting.

Hope it was Dr. Pogue who treated you when you got hurt?!?! I know there is a statue of him in BY Park. My mom was Florence Pogue and my dad is Ed Erwin, both from THS 1950. Loved when you talked about the stores on Cavitt Avenue. I remember all the stores you mentioned. Have they torn down the old Trafford Inn/Mellon Bank building yet? Does the Trafford Historical Society know about your video? It has a great Facebook page (Andrew Capets runs it, I believe?!). Barbara Erwin Horch

@@barbarahorch7426 Barbara Horch thanks Barbara. Of course. We always went to Dr Pogue. His wife was my current scout den mother. What a serving family. I'm going to look up the historical society Facebook page and try to share this video of it. They just you're melon bank down in the last month. Thanks for you comments. I hope you subscribe and come in this journey with me.

I have subscribed. Thanks

@@barbarahorch7426 you're welcome and thanks for subscribing.

I'm glad you got to see Trafford.

Do you mean the falls under the bridge? I used to swim/dive there. Or do you mean at the Bend? There was another place we called hidden valley it something like that. I think it was up by Ligonier. Where did you live?

@@mylifein75sqft87 we swam at the bend sort of by the brickyard and right across from the B.Y. but the falls under the bridge were 100x more fun because we could jump off the wall on the Westinghouse side, the falls, the big pipe under the bridge or the cliff from the row house side of the falls. We played baseball at the park you have in the vid but they shut it down for a long time due to PCB’s whatever that is. For me and my buddies from first street, the terrace and south trafford it was a very unique place to grow up. I forgot to talk about all the dirt bike riding, even used to ride with winterbottom if you know him. What a blast. I recognize all the houses there in your vid. Especially the ones behind the best fish sandwich place ever KH Katering…. Puts fat zackles fish to shame

@@Empty7775 I used to dive off the wheel that controlled to dam under the bridge. It's a wonder that nobody got hurt diving into that water. If you know Jimmy Winter bottom, you might know my brother, Steve V. He was good friends with Jimmy. I worked at Caruso's gas station which was owned by Jimmy's grandmother. I had friends from 1st Street as well as South Trafford.

Thanks Janet. You are kind and thanks for watching. Makes it worth doing.

I'm glad you liked the video Sandra. Thanks for watching and commenting. It's crazy how the first two houses I lived in and the first two schools I went to are no longer there. I how you have a good day

Thanks for you comments and watching William. It's always good to hear from you. Have a nice day.

It was fun doing that video. So much has changed.

Thanks Wendy. That was totally unplanned because I his my van so he didn't know I was coming in.

I'm glad you liked the video and my dad. I started calling him pops and everyone else followed. Thanks for watching and commenting.

It really was a tough place to grow up in those days. Thanks Madeline. Take care.

Thank you for the comment. You're right, Trafford could be better. I'm glad you liked the video.

Thanks Mike. I'm glad you liked it. Please feel free to share this with anyone that you think would appreciate it.

You're welcome Cory. I'm glad you liked it. Please feel free to share it. By the way, my dad had no idea that I was going to video him.

Thank you. Small world. I hope you stay safe and healthy and may God bless you!

I don't understand. Haven't watched that video in a long time

@@mylifein75sqft87i meant i dont wear helmet too

I know your mother well. I pray for her back every other day.

Angel, thanks for watching and commenting. I how you have a good day.

Three letters. IBM. They offered me a great job. When I left Pittsburgh, the steel industry was starting to shut down. Moving to NY was an opportunity I couldn't pass up.

I wonder what kind of future people growing up there now (Pittsburgh) will have?

It all changed. Wages seem lower than in NY, but some people seem to be doing well.

Thanks for watching and commenting Sam. Now I have a house in wheels.

Hi Chauncy, wee should take this to my email address: mylifein75sqft@gmail.com

The name isn't familiar to me. I haven't lived in Trafford for many, many years. I go there a few times a year though. 🙂🙂

Yep. That's me. You might know my brother Steve.

@@mylifein75sqft87 yes, steve and i were on the same baseball team i think. Our team was the pirates in the Trafford little league. You live next door to mr and mrs V that had two boys, dan and james. I dont live in the area any more but tell steve the kid with white/gray hair from the terrace (matt t) said hi.

@@mylifein75sqft87 i also hope your mom’s shoulder is feeling better. She plays bingo with my mom.

Thank you! Her shoulder is pretty bad. It's tough getting older.

Well, I don't live there any more. I just visit these days. 🙂🙂
