QUICK ACTION: “”It is true: ‘Round the Square is the first and
most read section of the Era. I’ve gotten three phone calls and
five e-mails in search of my cousin’s class of ’27 since RTS wrote
about it.””[neWLine]
That RTS was on Monday. Kath Buffington of Belmont, N.Y., had
written about her cousin Tom Sullivan who is hoping to reunite from
some of his classmates from Smethport High School Class of
1927.[neWLine]
“”Believe it or not, one woman is still alive and living by
herself in Jamestown,”” Kath says of the response. “”I’m trying to
arrange a visit. Anyway, when I’ve heard from everyone I can
reasonably expect to hear from, I’ll let you know the
results.””[neWLine]
And, of course, we’ll keep our readers posted.[neWLine]

SMALL WORLD: Roland D. (Rollie) Williams and his wife, Thelma,
recently returned to their home in Carson City, Nev., from a 66-day
cruise around South America and Antarctica. They traveled 18,914
miles with 35 ports of call.[neWLine]
During the cruise, Rollie met Mel Spence Klein, a 1954 Bradford
High graduate who graduated from Penn State and retired to
Littleton, Colo. Rollie writes, “”we are looking forward to
attending my 60th High school reunion in Bradford on Aug. 25,
2007.””[neWLine]

WE’RE WILD!: Sometimes, the littlest things we take for granted
make a big impression on someone else.[neWLine]
We’ve been told that a group of foreign tourists visiting this
region – all up and down the Northeast – were impressed by a
practice of setting out a money box so travelers can purchase a
product “”on their honor.”” This apparently would not happen in
most of Europe.[neWLine]
And, interestingly, one of those places in the Bradford area was
featured in a pamphlet promoting a Pennsylvania Wilds’ “”road
trip.””[neWLine]
It identifies “”Craig and Glen of Custer City … who sell honey
at a little roadside stand from bees they keep themselves. If you
stop and honk the horn, they’re likely to come out and give ya the
low down on the area,”” the pamphlet says.[neWLine]
These beekeepers, you may remember, were featured in an Era
article about the so-called Colony Collapse Disorder which has
eliminated many honey bees in the country. Luckily, “”Craig and
Glen’s”” hives have not been affected by the disorder and still
have honey at their roadside stand on Route 770, just before you
start up Marshburg Hill.
