I thoroughly enjoyed this site! Having been born and raised in Elizabeth, the pictures especially brought back so many memories. I am fortunate to own a couple of Dick (R.T.)Wiley`s books, `Elizabeth and Her Neighbors` and `Monongahela:The River and It`s Region` and a copy of the sheet music `Strew Blossoms on Their Graves`. Mr. Wiley lived on Walker`s Heights just down the street from my grandparents. And Capt. Howder`s house was just across the street. In his back yard was a pilot wheel from a river boat that we kids played on while watching the river. Two of my uncles worked on the river while in school and, at one time, I could identify the boats by the sound of their whistles. I spent many summer hours on the lock walls waiting for boats to lock through and get treats of fruit and candy from the crew. And while swimming at the Water Worksgoing out to catch the waves of boats angleing in for the locks. Keep up the good work!!
