Very good video. A wonderful memorial to marion

The lady next to Marion in the clip from the graduate, was also on bewitched..

Amazing local history, thank you West Pittston Historical Society and all involved in bringing this to those of us who couldn't attend the event. Rich Jenkins is a treasure trove of knowledge about his family and the early history of our valley, so glad he spoke at the event. Well done!

Great presentation! Thank you for producing this.

I couldn't make it there for this presentation, but it sure brought back some memories! I'm glad it was posted here to UA-cam. My father and sister attended and loved the old pictures. I have some things from Goodwill Hose Co. that you might be interested in, and some pictures. I was a member there from the late 80s until it closed. As a matter of fact, my parents met each other at one of Goodwill's picnics..lol. I was wondering, is there someplace where you house or display things from the Historical Society? It would be nice to have a place in town where people could come and see the history of the town. Thanks for sharing your presentation!

I wish I had been able to make it down there for this. I have photos of the Nova-Plast fire. I also have the T-Shirt from the "Great Roundhouse Rubber Roast of 1991" at Coxton yards. My sister Leigh and I were both members of Goodwill Hose Co.

Loved this presentation, but the second speaker was very hard to hear in this video. I hope that this will become a yearly event, to continue to tell the story of our first residents and their sacrifice for our country.

Thanks for sharing this. I am often amazed at how many people do not know the history of the Battle of Wyoming, and the early colonial history of our area. This battle was directly responsible for the decision of General Washington to send a force under General Sullivan into the heart of the Iroquois territory (New York) to put and end to further raids south, and to break the alliance between the Iroquois and Great Britain. It was an important part of the United States winning the revolution and independence.

I am related to the Hitchner family in south Jersey!

loved it, so cool with the newspapers mixed in

WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!! If you have the photos in your collection I'd love to come see them with magnifying glass this summer to get some additional details for my historical research. Keep up the good work folks!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Excellent presentation. Only change I would make is to add still close ups of the various photos he showed. Looking forward to more on this channel ....Good luck all!!!!
