questions about peters township and so when we get calls then we will try to answer your questions so in the mean time we'll probably talk a little bit about the township so who wants to so i've been here for quite a while so probably forgotten you better catch me now or all will forget probably what has gone on the anybody has any interest that but they would like to during the war for convoys army convoy trucks during my youth i watched them build it in you probably don't even remember the streetcar trolley line it went down through  right along the right route nineteen it went from pittsburgh to little washington so i don't hear the phones ringing fact i don't even see a phone before that it was mud i have some pictures of that in our family happened to be on both sides of that that old washing your road at that time but  and tina just lived up up the road a little ways from where where my living across from where she lived across nineteen about where has as is there was a allowed cabin that the be only family had  it was really a log cabin and at that time because we were interested in basketball we didn't have the the football and soccer and such things that we had when i played we had a pretty good team but we had eight eight people to play five played in three reserves were the ones that weren't too good sorry some of you guys still around we did have a good time the only ones team that we couldn't beat was east washington marm byrd palmer rankin left of which we could not beat them because they had six six is about you with some of your memories well when they played basketball i had to get out there and surely and we had a good time we went on the bus with the players and  we're you know i think fighting to be watching all these guys and it would have been nice if we would have been the champions that we added here whether whether we were champions or not in any way we were always enthusiastic about our an adult is up in our kids every time we surrender to the belief that their future is out of our hands every time we say their problems aren't my problem or the child was left behind had one bus and doc towns in the head to the rest of the mine then of course when right after the war and forty six or forty seven john chapman started chapman corp and there were a lot of young people that worked there coming right out of high school  because a lot has come out of peter's township definitely well i just heard today that from the selectric that course they were doing the electrical down to new stadium and they have eight hundred people going to the about the tunnel that's under nineteen over by the round hotel went from oral karma across to the mccabe farm and k which was run by the oars also that's where the cattle came across underneath the games at home and monopoly when when i was in high school that was a popular thing and in the sixth seventh and eighth grade and in our house we we had the dining room table and we pay ping pong and we had family conversation and there was always something to do and we didn't depend on television we didn't have television i did this into the radio residential area instead of farming i would say one thing fifty that's really when the growth really started in the around the high school there and people started drive in other places some of the farmlands i would say that in the fifty's it started then when the new high school was built what year was that built it was in this new high not this  the middle school is now that was built and the thirty thirty nine thirty two twenty nine or thirty two one i've been issue was one and that was the other not sure which was which but  hitchhiking back and forth to washington try to hitchhike into college there were homes being built along the main drag as far as developments were concerned i don't think there were too many until they started my grand her well we also want to know is where was the first area in peter's to be developed that's probably marion hill i was going to the grand hills would be that area as far as the well little community where i was already built up because they well there was a little older community that see a new high school and one place or another i built a home there in fifty seven my brother lives in now where there weren't too many homes development started  restaurant there right where is sort of stop digging far as i know that's the last piece of or farm right there that there was so that piece right there see i thought i thought it was because then my my relations on the other side took over at that point kind of activities like did they have in peter's township high school when you win th we had newspapers in your bulliet later on they had you know and they were cheaper than they are now we had we had dances and i remember the senior class wanted to go to washington d c and we decided late in the year and we went to see mr day and we thought you were going to allow us to do this but there was about six of us girls when we surrounded the desk and we said the senior class wants to go to event can you imagine that but anyway we had card parties and raffle of that kind of thing to raise money and we finally raised the money and we went to where we was one of the first classes that went to washington d c yeah pack you go out of the way bus i walk two miles up to the school get on the bus i go play a basketball game and i walk back at night when i get up the way the crow flies i guess from the old high school my son played by the think the score was one fifty to twenty i had forty and i had for you the point larry another thing i wonder basketball how did the pant legs get so long that they're below the knees the square dance until he was ninety one years old and i don't know any fisher used to call squares as i recall is that holly drive the next street down the goes going towards the high school here they're going up from the high school here i think ali drive is on the right right before you get to center church road they had a few sheep i mean nothing spectacular but two or three or whatever but i don't remember them growing whose farm would that have been would have been where the school is was the
