Re: O.T.: Old Ashtabula Ohio

[Frederick Sparber]

About 30 miles to the east in Pennsylvania, Richard.   But, we used to listen to the "Ashtabula Hillbillies" on the Silvertone battery-powered radio.   The "A" battery did real good until I put a stove poker across the terminals and watched it turn red hot.  My bottom was sore for a few days,too.   A lot of the Ashtabula news coverage included that area. U.S. Route 6 the "Grand Army of the Republic Highway (Cape Cod to the West Coast) went into Ohio near by.  OTOH the snowplows didn't get off it until about a week after an old fashion "Blizzard" hit.  :-)   A big thrill to see the army trucks on it , and the Goodyear Blimps from Akron go over during WW II.   Aren't you glad you asked?   :-)   Fred   ----- Original Message ----- From: RC Macaulay To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Sent: 11/1/05 5:18:08 PM Subject: Re: O.T.: Old Ashtabula Ohio Fred,   Ok ,Tell us about Ashtabula.. did you come from there?   Richard
