Joseph's Story
As a young Aliquippa guy from a large family I was born and lived in Raccoon
Twp till age 9 and moved to Aliquippa
on Mill st by Sheffield lanes. Moved from there to West Aliquippa and lived there about 1 year. Moved from there to Linmar for a couple years and ended up in the Bricks in about 1966.I wouldn,t change a thing about my childhood. Those of us who were fortunate enough to live and grow up
in the Bricks may not have had the financial advantages many others had
but there is a bond of families and friends that exceeds any wealth we could have ever had. Class of 71 of course, joined the army on the buddy plan with Dave Fike and Buddy Slider.
I spent 10 years in the Army(never wanted to work in the mill)I met a girl
while working in NYC, had my two...Expand for more
kids with her and she just disappeared.
!980, came back to Pa, got hired at Postal service, worked at Aliquippa Post office for 23 years,Remarried
and raised kids in Western Beaver
school district.Divorced in 2001, retired from Post Office in 2002, moved to central Pa north of Altoona
in 2004. My kids are grown and doing great. I have a grandson Jake who is
without a doubt "Paps joy". Me, I,m single and looking. I do some DJ work
and work as a cop. It breaks my heart
to ride thru Aliquippa and remember what it once was. The one thing we all have and no one can ever take are the great memories of a better day, a more innocent time and the people,the characters and experiences that defined an era of time that we were so fortunate to be a part of........
