This was the house I lived in from age 6 to 16. My parents bought the house when it was first built. My dad built the shed in the back yard and the neighbor dug the basement for the shed where he kept his gravely. Our back yard was used as the neighborhood baseball field. That's his truck parked in the driveway. We had to move away because the economy was so bad in PA and coal mines keep laying him off and there were no jobs around. We left the fall of 1987. It was a hard decision for all of us.

Just noticed the roll says 1988. I think that was the year my parents sold the house or maybe the sold it in 1989. I just remember it took a while to sell because the economy was so bad.
