The fall issue of the Westsider is filled with lots of great stuff (as usual)- and this issue focuses a lot on the Back Mountain area of the Wyoming Valley.
The article that I contributed to this edition was “Kingston Celebrates 150 Years.” For the story I interviewed a long-time resident and Sesquicentennial Celebration Committee chairperson Sandra Kase, about all the activities surrounding this milestone.
My story starts out like this:
Atherton. Hoyt. Dorrance. Loveland. Reynolds. Butler. Bennett. Dilley. Pringle. Pierce.
When driving through the side streets of the borough of Kingston, take notice of the street signs. These street names are more than just a way to get from here or there. They are more than just a way of labeling mailing addresses for its residents and businesses. They are a tribute to the history of the borough, many of the signs bearing names of important people who founded Kingston a century and a half ago. Other streets- and landmarks are named for prominent early residents.

And, I was also the subject of an article written by Westsider writer and Wilkes U. student Megan Krisanda on the Wilkes book I compiled.
