And another amazing thing Marty I noted from your profile that you are in Harrisville PA
Bells began to ring because last year at the time of the Keswick theatre (Glenside PA) concert I learned of the existance of
a fan in PA (who I did not get to meet)
he was member 1105 (AlinHarrisburg-Alex)
see old 2005 topic:-

And I thought how nice if two more Lightheads could meet
Fortunately I noticed in time that whilst you both reside in Pennsylvanian towns presumably founded by a Mr Harris
the actual names differred
I found this about him:-
Just before 1700 John Harris, born in Yorkshire, England, probably about 1673, and a brewer by occupation, landed in
Philadelphia.so I guess that too much ale-quoffing made him forget that he already had founded one town in his name
Even worse when I consulted
http://www.mapquest.com
to basically see how far apart you were
I discovered that the said Yorkshireman was even more prolific or under the influence as I had to chose between a pair of Harrisburgs
one is in Dauphin county 234 miles from Harrisville and quite near Philadelphia.
The other is in Philadelphia county and 352 miles from Harrisville and closer to Philly
mapquest also said that they are only 111 miles apart so I guess postal confusion is rife??
the Harrisburg on the Susquehanna River downstream of Dauphin
I also discovered that this city is your state capital not Philadelphia
the "other" Harrisburg
John Fowles
Is that confusing or what?
Surely this is no way to run a railroad??
In fact Marty I now see that you are possibly nearer to Al Watchman ( who I seem to remember is in Ashtabula,Ohio)
Harrisville to Ashtabula (95 miles or so)
or maybe Iron (Brain)
