Wow! Just discovered this site and I'm amazed by the names from the past. I
lived in Upland from 1954 through 1973, when not away @ college. Started in The
Project but moved "up" to 8th Street in 1962, joining those wealthy
Uplanders like Frank Phillips, John Cook, Jeanne Hartman (boy, did I have a
crush on her), Linda Sension, Cheryl Hamilton, Dave Reischer, Tommy O'Byrne,
Mike Hunter, Richard Silva, Barry Braitman, Dave Williams et al. Had to travel
to visit my old friends like Dale Paige, Bob Cisowski and Eddie Pristash, but
picked up new friends like Earl and Dave Clough. Best memories of grammar school
include Majkowski's chopping block, Jess Richardson and Ms Jackson (probably the
best teacher I had in 24 years of education). Can't forget June Ruth Smith or, a
little earlier, Ms. Miller, Ms Goldberg or the unforgettable Ms (you'll never
amount to anything, Craig) Stoots. I still remember Upland fondly, though I'm
gone 35 years. My buddies and I used to say, "You can take the boy out of
Upland, but you can't take the Upland out of the boy". It's true.

Lived at 1124 Church St. from 1953-61. Childhood memories of Hill St. School
and Ms. Mabel Jackson, the best teacher I ever had. Friends with Skip Quinn,
David Lee, Sandy Ely (my "fast dance" partner at the Main St. School
dances), Bonnie Cardinal, Ann and Diane Blizzard. Jimmy's corner store to buy
"penny" candy and "Pops" store where I wasn't allowed to go
because he had a pinball machine. Hangin' out in the woods where the Crozer
mansion once stood (now a shopping area, I think) and smoking my first
cigarette. Takin a bus (cost ten cents) to Chester to shop or see a movie then
hot dogs at John's Doggie Shop. It was another life. A time fondly remembered.

Hi Cheryl, I sent you an e-mail to your address but it came back. If you
would e-mail me at my address, I will explain some things to you about my Mom
and the family situation. I don't know if you have spoken to Debi any time in
the last 2 or so years. I sent the picture of your family to my sister-in-law

You have such beautiful daughters and she was really happy to hear about you and
your family. She is going to put that pic in her scraebook.

Hey Carol, you are so kind, thank you for writing! Tell your mom thanks for

least 3 to 4 times a year. I go to my dad's grave, grandmother, grand fathers
and uncles graves. Sometimes I have my mom and Warren with me, is your mom up
for a visit some time? I would let her know, I wouldn't just stop, tho' I do
Penny Herman.......she just is never home. We have stopped a few times with
people that my mom knows. My heart is still Upland, it has changed alot, but my

Hello to all Uplanders!!!!!!!!!!!!! I moved tp the Poconos in fall of 74,
still have some family there.I would love to hear from some folks from
"back home"! I am in touch with Lonny Hunter who was my dance partner
at the great Clubhouse Dances. Perhaps some may remember me from there. My
father was Ralph "Si" Keiper". He formrd and ran the dances along
with several other great willing people. It was a great place for us all to go.
Too bad no one does that for the teens anymore. My father passed on in 2002, my
mother is still alive. We lived on Lane "D", next to Mr. Murray, he
was the custodian at Main Street School. Lonny Hunter told me that someone is
trying to get a gathering together, a reunion of a sort. Would love that, to see
Upland people again. I have many memories of Upland, sledding down the hills, by
the Baptist Church and another that I can't remember the name of right now. My
email address is above. I would love to hear from you all. Regards, Dawn

Hi Cheryl, I was just reading your post and thought I'd jump in here. Reading
everyone's memories is great as it brings back a lot of my memories. I haven't
been back to Upland in many years but I looked up a satellite map the other day.
Wasn't a very good picture. Mom was asking about you and I told her what I
remembered you had told me. She wants me to remember her to you. She was very
ill a couple of weeks ago but is fine now. Hope you and your family are well and
happy.

Hi Terrie, sadly the site does not get as many postings as one would think
reading prior posts that show great interest and affection for the old days. I
have a sneaking suspicion that it is read however and that emails are exchanged.
I don't know you but I do recall how we loved the "Charity carnival"
each summer. My family left Upland in 72 at the age of 12 and moved to
Chichester to avoid the the school merger. Some of the people you mention sound
familiar - their lasts names anyway. Just wanted you to know that your post is
being read and glad you found the site!

Hello, I did not attend Hill Street but did go to Our Lady of Charity School
and for something to do I attended summer school w/friends at Main Street which
I really enjoyed. As a teenager in 1972 we moved to Rising Sun, MD. I have two
sisters Debbie and Stephanie, and two brothers Ronnie and Eddie. My Mom and Dad
are Shirley and Ron Smith and my grandmother was Margaret (Peg) Booth. I have
very great fond memories of Upland. It was a great place to live in the 50's,
60's and early 70's. I had so many friends and thru the years lost contact with
them. Would love to hear from anybody that knew the "Smiths" that
lived on 9th Street. To Jane Ladder I used to hang w/your brother John and
sister Gail and spent time at your house and to Glen Boggs, you asked me to be
your girlfriend in the 60's and then 2 days later told me you were moving to
Michigan, hope it worked out well and life is good for you. I am married w/30 yr
old son and 32 yr old stepdaughter w/2 grandsons. I attended Brownies, Girl
Scouts, Cadets, and many dances. My best girlfriend since 1st grade was Nancy
Maculley and still is throughout the years. Wishing all uplanders and their
families well.

I googled 318 Griffith Street tonight and used their satelite map to find the
house. It appears that the project has been torn down and rebuilt into fewer
houses with more land in between them. All of the lanes now have tree names and
such. For those of you who have remained in Upland is this so? I also googled
trulia.com for houses for sale and saw several on 9th street and on newer
streets around the school and Salvation Army camp. Most had the address listed
as Brookhaven. Is the name Upland becoming obsolete? I miss the place and think
I wouldnt mind living there again. Hi to anyone who remembers the Dyson family.
Larry now lives in Oregon. Patti is in Simi Valley near Los Angeles and Ellie is

Grasser, John Swanson, Walter Wanko, the Mitchell twins, and my favorite old

Hi Ken, Think I told you I lived in Mass way back when 74-79. Its different

are from Pa. and funny how instantly comfy I feel with them. I do hope to get
home sometime this year. Trouble is I want to drive and no one else does. I just
like enjoying the sites and poking along. Go visit a few days and take a few for
traveling. Why be in a hurry. I wish more would get on here. Seems they got lost
maybe when we got rid of the spammers, which is nice. Need to mail everyone if I

Liz, prayers for your mother. I see her face from even 35 years ago SO VERY
clearly. If she remembers me please give her my love. On another note, My 3
brothers and I dealt with losing my mother at Crozer Hospital 9 years ago. We
were all born there, my mother too, even if it was is the "old wing"
that still stood (in 1998 at least). Born there, passed on to a better place
there. Powerful. You, John and the entire family are in my prayers. Ken

Took me a while to find this site again, lost it from my favorites and
thought it was completely removed. Found it again through Chester High School
reunions. I was home for a week recently visiting my Mom in the hospital. She is
a little better but I will probably move back home to be near her now that her
health isn't well. I guess the vacation is coming to an end. I'll have to join
up on the reunion committee with Wes when if I move back in time. Great seeing
some of my old buddies again, Audrey Nickerson McKelvey, Vicki Frye Smith and
especially Janet Grasser Peterson. She always is there to greet me when I show
up at Crozer Hospital. I am glad to see her sister Nancy among our reunion
newcomers, welcome Nancy, I hope Janet jumps on board sometime. I had a chance
to give Joanne Kirby Long a hug while at the hospital, it's great that Crozer
has provided so many wonderful careers for us Uplanders, I worked there years
ago. My whole family has had job opportunities there. Two of my sister are still
working there. It's a terrific hospital. Well, I hope everyone has a great
holiday. Remember... Merry Christmas to all...And to all a good night... Best

Hi to all Uplanders. It was great to read some of the emails to this site.
Brings back a lot of memories. To the Harpster girls--we lived next door to you
on Lane J. Your dad was bigger than life--I was intimidated by him! I'm sorry to
hear about Barbara--she always had a smile on her face. I have good memories
(mostly) about Upland schools. Upland was a good place to grow up years ago--not
so sure about that today. My sister Janet still lives in Upland. To the person
who remembers Kerry Grasser--he's my cousin and he lives in Williamsport PA. I
remember him playing football for PMC (now Widener) and seeing him on TV.Kathy
Kline --do you remember breaking a yardstick over your knee and yelling at Mr.
Makowski? I do. It was a friday and his favorite expression was "I've got
no money and no place to go." I thought you were quite brave. I's great
going down memory lane. Keep in touch.

Hi Gerry, hope all is well, I still check in. I was considering putting
together a website just for Uplanders where we could post pictures but aside
from 3 or 4 people here there just doesn't seem to be any continuing interest
from many initial posters. I have made a road trip to Pittsburgh - liked what I
saw and just recently made a decision on a first year rental, will get to know
the place well and then but somewhere. I will be moving the week after

Upland. Have you been around the town lately. It is nothing like it was in the

or night without fear of anyone bothering me. Of course it helped if you lived

This is to Dawn, I don't remember getting to know you but I do remember the
Municipal Building Thursday night dances, what a great time that was. But I
think we may have more in common recently than those old days in Upland. My
husband and I recently had a house in Indian Rocks at Lake Wallenpaupack. I
loved Greentown, Sterling and the surrounding area. Hated to leave it but we
moved to Florida last year to boat year round. I miss the mountains though,
especially this time of year. I bet it's beautiful. Would have loved to have
communicated with you back then, could have met for dinner at the Hazzards'
Raintree Restaurant, we loved that place. Best regards, Liz

Hi Brenda, Yes, I remember you. I also remember that the first time I ever
met you it was winter time and very cold. You had a very round face and your
cheeks were so red from the cold, you reminded me of an apple. Do you remember

you live in? We all remember the dances they were great! They gave us kids
something to do other than hang out on the streets. Please spread the word about

Hello Everyone Today I have decided to explore the possibilities of an Upland
Reunion. This would not be a class reunion. But a reunion for those of us who
lived in Upland during the 60's and 70's. This reunion will be open to all.
However it's too big a task for one person to handle. So I'm looking for help.
For those of you who would like to volunteer. Please send me an e-mail message
and a phone number or cell number where one can be reached. Once we have the
volunteers. We will submit a plan and projected costs alone with possible dates
to the web page for all to see. Should you have any questions or suggestions
please e-mail me. I will bear all the start up cost for now. Wes Congleton

Hi Ken, good morning! Mass is very expensive. I lived there from 74-79 and it
was really high then, but so were the wages. We lived on Hanscom AFB, don't know
if its still there. Guess that was a world of its own. I worked at that time for
a company called Instrumentation laboritories, Medical equipment manufacturer
making sterile filters for blood gas machines. I remember there were four male
chemists that had a weekly ugly bride contest. Sheesh. I remember a store in
Boston called Building 19, They sold scratch and dent, but really had some nice
made furniture. Bits and Pieces but more then anything the cold, snow and ice.
Two little people to raise didn't have time to really smell the roses and travel
around much. Kathy my sister is the one that started the moving. She moved here
and wouldn't come back, so I started coming down to visit and fell in love with
the peace here, and thought it offered my kids much more. I've never had one
regret. But I do get homesick at times. My kids love it here. But like
everywhere else were experiencing a population explosion and building going up
everywhere. Can hardly see the beach for the condo's, darn. I would move also,
further north in alabama but just having a grandbaby I'm not moving anywhere.
Its a beautiful area and I have the best of all worlds. All the water you want
to play in, Mobile on one side of me and Pensacola on the other. Always things
to do. I always say "I was born a yankee and dying a rebel".
<Smile> Have a great day.

Hey Gerry, I know what you mean about keeping the time capsule memory of
Upland in tact. What we miss here is as much a place in time as it is a place in
geography. Not sure Mr. Emory would appreciate that one but it's
true.............I moved up here to the Boston metro in 2000. I'm a computer
analyst and Boston offers much more tech work than the Phila area. I checked the
map to find Bedford, not all that far from me. I'm a stones throw out of Boston
on the north shore. Beautiful city but I have recently requested a relocation to
Pittsburgh. My company has locations in both. While it won't be "back
home" the cost of living, and other factors that I'm not happy about in MA.
were the great motivator. I will probably be there for Christmas....... What
took you so far south and do you like it better?..........I hope some other the
others that post step up and post more often. Seems some are sitting back a bit.

You are so right Ken. As I remember back and thinking of today's youth, we
had it all. How nice it would for them to share what we did. Loved your dream,
haven't been to Upland in 20 years. I want to go home, but then I don't. I think
I like remembering the way it was. I would definitely love to meet everyone
again. Do you remember Dirty Johns Steak Shop on 9th street? I wanted to tell
you also I lived 5 years in Bedford, Mass. Loved it up there but lots of snow,
that I don't like. In fact was living there when a Blizzard happened, believe it
was 76. National Guard was called in, lots of people died on the road, 7 ft
drifts in front of the house blocked the doors shut. Now its Hurricanes to deal
with, always something. How did you end up all the way up there?

Wow, this site and the really special opportunity it offers several of us to
reconnect OR first time connect on a common theme must be hittin my ole'
subconcious!.........I had a dream last night that I was an adult and in Upland,
sort of as a returning former resident but sort of as a kid at the same
time....you know how dreams can be. I saw two females, maybe the Kline sisters
because I didn't know them but they seemed to be there as both kids but adult
visitors at the same time. We were way down Upland Ave. near where Ship-N-Shore
used to be and where Jimmy Gallon's Store used to be. They were riding those
Razor Scooters the kids do now. They told me they wanted to revisit McGinnley's
Store up near Upland Baptist and if I could show them the way because they
didn't quite remember. I said sure and we headed up 3rd St. I think it was. We
all went in as iI hadn't been in years either. We found the building was now a
mix of a kind of store and sandwich shop that had picnic benches inside and
servered a lot of roast beef sandwiches. It had different rooms and a few
corridors. It was being run by a name I recognized in the dream as an Uplander
from our youth that stayed in Upland and he was glad we visited. We saw some
oldtimers in there too. He was showing us the floors and the fact that they were
still the same as when we were all kids. We stayed and wandered a bit and looked
around the walls alot and out front windows that shown on to Main Street down
that way. Then I remember myself and the girls left with smiles and looked
toward good old Upland Baptist and began to wander up that way to have a
look.........the dream fades there, maybe the alarm clock...........not looking
for analysis but thought I'd share. It made me smile and happy for this site yet
homesick for our little town of yesteryear at the same time........just thought
I'd share.

just have to get more people involved from the "good old days" of our
youth, especially if we want to see a reunion realized. And we did know pretty
much everybody in town, it's what gave us the charm or small town living. Trust

Hi Liz, I can't remember who found the meteor. I just remember how much of a
ruckus it caused. The military, the fire trucks, police etc. I can't remember
the flags but I do remember all the parades and the great fireworks. I walked
many of those parades being in the Brownies and Girl Scouts until I was about
13. The firehouse would have these great little potato rolls, ham and cheese
that I loved. There was plenty of refreshments. Do you remember that Donnie
Thornton was hit in the head with something from the fireworks and had to have a
metal plate in his head? Gosh it was so scary. He is lucky to be alive! I was so
disappointed to see that apartments were built on the hill across the street
from the house we lived in because that was the greatest sledding place. We had
so much fun there. Hey Liz in New Orleans for St Patricks Day there's a huge 75
float parade and they throw potatoes, carrots, heads of cabbage, onions and
lemons. Is that crazy or what? This thread is great, I hope some of the others
from Upland find it also.

Hey, Kathy, I remember that meteor, wasn't it Connie Bloom's little brother
John who found it. I think his picture was in the Daily Times (or should I say
the old Chester Times) Hey, remember when a plane or helicopter would drop the
little flags over the ball park on Memorial Day (or Fourth of July)? If you
found a special marked one I think you won a dollar. That was so neat that we
had that. Who arranged that kind of stuff? That ball park really meant a lot to
us. The strawberry festival, easter egg hunts, baseball, baby parades,
fireworks. It was a good place for the town to get together and celebrate. I
think my grandfather actually helped install the water fountain there back in
the early 60's. As kids, we always felt proud of that. Oh, to remember such
simpler days... Love to your family, Liz

Hello everyone, i usually do not involve myself in petty arguments, however i
felt compelled to add my opinion. To Dr. mike Chivalette, Sir i do not know you,
i have no malice towards you in anyway. I would just like to remind you that
Christians should set a positive example, Judge not and you shall not be judged.
Turn the other Cheek. I have reviewed your messages on this site, and frankly i
dont understand? You profess to be Chritian yet your messages depict a
judgemental, boastful, angry man. I would also recommend not offering folks an
invitation to travel to your geographical location so they may be properly
educated quickly. This could be misconstrued as a threat/challenge, and possibly
improper behavior for a Doctor whose title is head of a Christian Academy. I
wish you well and hope that you palse momentarily and reconsider the words that
you choose in this forum.

Sorry for causing such outbursts, tantrums, name calling and anger....maybe
for clarification the following might help: 1) Christian is spelled as written,
not, "christen" that would be a girl's name which was not capitalized.
2) Arrogant, sorry you cannot relate to earning and being named a doctor, but I
am proud of my achievements. Any of you who have ever earned or achieved
anything would understand...obviously, none of you have. 3) Your little group
attack humors me. It shows how petty and childish you still are....grow up,
achieve something, and by all means get a life! You reside in the
past....because you have nothing....it is obvioius...you sound like whinning
Phillie fans...always crying and definitely posturing like you are sooo
tough...please... 4) To the one who asked where I will be in October. I have a
better idea...come on down to south Florida....and you will be properly educated
very quickly...or better yet, stay where you are. Either way, stop using the
internet to "hide behind." So,,,,children.....learn to spell, don't be

Hey Mike Go stuff your shirt a little more! WhaaaWhaaWhaa! I remember going
to lunch in the lunch room at Main Street and trading my bologna sandwich with
Angiline Pittman for her pork rinds that her daddy made from the hogs her raised
down by the creek. I remember a meteorite falling in the Salvation Army Camps
property and all the hoopla that went along with it. The Army trucks and jeeps
the police etc. I remember my brother Rocky who is no longer with us setting the
Salvation Army grounds on fire and my mom turned him over her legs a whipped the
ever-loving heck out of him! How about pie eating contests and cartoons at the
church during the summer. There are bullies in every town I was bullied as
probably each one of us were at one time or another! I chose to remember the

I silly memory to share - I remember when I was in first grade that everyone
got to stay at school and have lunch in the lunch room. Not me, mom always had
me walking home for lunch. Well one day I decided to save my recess nickle (that
bought you a little orange carton of milk) and my cupcake and save it for lunch
so I could eat lunch in the lunch room too! So....there I am eating my
Tasteycake snack and drinking my little orange carton of milk for lunch feeling
like a big shot when I glance over at the doorway to the lunch room. Theres my
mom with a very angry look on her face and shes doin the finger movement. You
know, the one that says come here - NOW! Yipes! I was in for it. She marched me
down to my first grade classroom to get my coat, my teacher, an older grey
haired woman whose name I can't recall suggested to my mom that she take it easy
on me because I didn't mean any harm. Good thing for that because all I really
got was the guilt trip of "how did I know where you were and that you
weren't hurt?!" and "I even made your favorite luch of tea and P&J
sandwiches". I really felt bad. Then suddenly I recall that I ended up with
a shiny new FireBall XL-5 (the marionette outerspace puppet TV show) metal lunch
box :-D That friggin tin lunch box (with a thermos!) made me the happiest kid on
my street! Didn't take much in those days did it.

centered and egotistical remarks. I am very proud to have been born and raised
in Upland. Both of my parents are deceased, but I still thank them today for my
wonderful life that they provided my 5 brothers and myself. I would not trade my
past, current and future life for anything or any amount. This site is the best
thing that I've seen in many years and I hope it never stops. I just hope that
the likes of Chivalette don't ruin it. I hope to visit Upland next year sometime
after may 2008. I would love to see and meet the ole Hill Street and Main Street
School gang. Again, thanks to all and lets keep this great site going in a
positive direction. Lance

Mike, Upland wasn't an easy town but you grew learning a lot of common sense.
My first fight was a few days after starting first grade right under that tree
in front of Hill Street School that you see at the top of this page. When I went
to Main Street in 4th grade it was a few days after starting again and right
near the monkey bars behind the school. I didn't start either fight. Bullies are
part of life and growing up in Upland taught you how to deal with that. Do you
let your kids climb trees? Can they ride a bike in spite of all the padding they
have on? Upland was one of a kind. Many of us got through, some didn't. Those
that did like us should be thankful, the school of hard knocks gives an
education that might be hard earned but it's also very valuable. Be happy you
are doing well, not spiteful. Mike, you didn't grow up on Kennedy Drive by any
chance?

Dr.Mike, I do not have a younger brother, so maybe your memories are not as
true as you think. From the people I see writing you, I see that I'm much
younger than you. Therefore it was not me bullying your whining butt. So how
about leaving this website to those of us that are proud of where we came from.

Amen Lance! Thank You very much. I very much enjoyed my life in Upland. Maybe
it wasn't perfect, but looking back we all had it pretty good even if times were
tough. We had each other. I was basically oblivious to bad teachers as it was
said. I don't remember bad really. However I do remember all the laughter. Thank
you Friends and Thank You Upland for all the greatttttttt childhood fun you
provided us. Thank you to the School System (great dances), Fire house,
Municipal Dances ( great dances), Reverend McQueen and the Cellar Dances, Thank
Reverend McQueen for Thanksgiving Dinner, Christmas Dinner and great presents.
Thank you to all my teachers that gave me a whack on a daily basis. Thank you
Mr. Kroll, Mr. Richardson, Mr. Andriole and the countless others that really had
the upper hand to who I am today. I'm a hard working honest Lady, and it starts
from your childhood. Thank you Mother.

So ayeeee Doctor Mike, what are you up to around the end of October? Sorry, I
had to. Mike, re-read your email, no wonder you got beat up so much. And the
fact that you changed your first name from Mike to Doctor and felt the need to
announce it speaks volumes. For a born again christian you seem to be carrying

Mike Chivalette, I am responding to your email dated 12 Aug. 2007 @ 09:37:33.
Thank you for your gracious comments. Your gracious self should have stopped
with the first sentence of your other wise disgusting email. I like the
statement where you said,....and seeing names of people I recall through my
older brother and sister, I also recall many of the things that Upland did not
offer me. What a pity that you were sop deprived. I believe in my heart that you
should blame your parents for raising and schooling you in such a terrible town
as Upland. (in your words). Don't blame the teachers, people and community
leaders that gave us, the people of Upland, the best that they had to give. If
the teachers, people and community leaders of Upland did not offer you amny
things that you so selfishly think you were cheated out of then again, put the
blame on your parents. I'm not going to continue with this email as I'm so upset
with your self centered self. Your email address says it all. It reads
mhcbornagain@yahoo.com. BORN AGAIN! You were not born again, you were already
born. I request that the great and wonderful people from the past that attended
Upland and Main Street Schools to not respond to this persons disgusting emails

I wanted to take a minute to commend this site for allowing so many of us to
"go back in time" and recall memories of days gone by. However, in
reading through the many comments and seeing names of people I recall through my
older brother and sister, I also recall many of the things that Upland did not
offer me. Many have lauded certain teachers, leaders, etc. stating that they
were outstanding leaders. Without stating names, I believe that there were many
fine people in Upland during my "early years." However, there were
also many people who were rude, indignant, and truthfully, bullies. To those, I
say, God bless you and I hope you have really changed since your early years. My
progression and growth as a person was not made possible by certain teachers,
people, community leaders, but by a God who saw a young boy who desired more in
life than mere medicrity. I was fortunate. I was able to pursue higher
education, earn my doctorate, and progress forward, by God's grace, not by
specific teachers and people who often tried making both my life and my
families, hard at times. Upland is a memory.....but it is and will always
be....the past......I prefer the present and future. No longer do we have 5 cent
cokes, the freedom to play in open areas, and the memories of many many years
gone by. No, Upland/Hill Street, and Main Street are no longer what they were.
Those days are long past....and often, memories are what "we want them to
be" not as they actually were. Examples: Being jumped while walking on
Halloween night (through the Upland ballfield) where all my candy was stolen by
older boys. Or, having a 15-year old boy continually attack me while walking
home from school - I was 8 at the time. Yes, I remember Upland....the good and
the bad. I also would love to meet some of the certain people today.....like
Walt Campbell's younger brother...it would be very interesting to see if he has
changed or is the same person he was then.

Dear Hill Streeters and Uplanders, So very happy to hear from Cheryl
Harpsters, Walt Campbell, Wes Congelton, Bonnie Reese, Liz Whitley, the Kline
sisters and so many more... I hope this web site keeps groing and we can all
meet somewhere, sometime. Anyone a good organizer? Or have any idea where we can
meet? When? I still have the group picture of the 8th grade graduation class on
the steps of McQueen Hall (my Dad took the photo). I have my '69 tassel from the
cap as well! The past July 4th Upland had a huge celebration in the ball park of
course, live music, food, games, my sister went and said she saw a lot of people
from way back, a Bailey girl, Debbie Silva, and many more. I am so sorry I
wasn't there. I went to the annual Crab feast a couple of years back an was
happy to see Joeanne Kirby and Vince Long, Bobbie May Low and andy more, last
month I went to a function at the Upland Fire hall, I saw Dougie Scott, he was
friends with my youngest brother Kevin. When they were little Kevin accidentally
shot Dougie with a BB gun in his heart! (It's still there the BB)! Also I
remember Gail Lader that lived next to Hill St. School, she was friends with
Cassie Carter, well the first time I saw a colored TV was at her house, imagine
that! We have sure come along way in 40 years, since our black and white TV's. I
remember when I first moved into Upland Nov. '69 Miss Henderson was my teacher.
Mr. Kroll was principal and they called him "parachute pants". That
1st Christmas in '65 I went to the Christmas Party at the Municipal building
with Debbie Silva and they gave us a little box with hard Christmas candy in it.
We were so thrilled! The Upland Centennial was the best. Mrs. Whitley made me a
cotton long dress with an old time bonnet. What a hard working good women she
is. It was an awesome time, especially being carefree. I always had one thing on
my mind and that was b-o-y-s! My parent still live on Castle Ave. and still have
the same phone number after 40 years, we used to say TR and then the 5 digits.
Sometimes I still write it in my phonebook that way and my three daughters say
"what's does that mean?!" Please pass the word and keep this website
going. WARMLY. Audrey Nickerson McKelvey

in my grade. Then there was Dee Vandergrift he later moved to Chichester like we
did. I don't think Dee and Carol were related but I'm not positive. Another that
moved to Chichester after us was Tom Tally. Anyone know any of these people? :-D
Such a small town and almost every family had 4 or more kids it becomes comical

<laughing> Its been to many years...Kathy has Eddy Vandergrift (Spider)
amd Eddie McCormick mixed up...we lived across from the McCormicks at Third and
Roop. Roop was between us...We lived in the big project houses and McCormicks
lived in the small one across from us...Remember they had Ducks for years that
someone stole...Remember how heart broken they were...Vandergrifts lived down
across from Donna Hickey and the Loves. Mr.Vandegrift was a Police Officer to I
believe. Wow must of been the only jobs in Upland at that time...not to many
other opportunitys back then. Other then the penny candy stores and the little
shopping center across from Hill Street School. That school sure did shake alot...Remember
Mr. Andriole? (something like that). He was a giant!!! Course all 4'10 of me
thinks everyone is pretty tall. He used to point to the word "THINK"
above the blackboard, he would stomp his foot hard and the whole building
shook...lol...and old Mrs.Tucker had "Time Will Pass, Will You"...up
over the clock...lol...thought she put that there for me since I was always and
still am a clock watcher. Hate being bored. Wish I had some school books from
back then. It would light up my life to see you all again. Next year were coming
home. For me the first time in 17 years. I'm coming to Upland even if I do get
lost. Hope we can meet, again.

cabin when I was a kid. Robin and I were friends. Remember when the would hold
the races in the park across from your house on Castle Ave. I think Albert
Richardson reminded me on them when he mentioned Field Day. Gerry, I'm so glad
my memories caused some of your own and brought smiles. No wonder I never saw
you at the Nickersons (I hardly ever saw Audrey) you were always on the third
floor. I have a photo on Ronnie Swingle with me and my brother Joe on Midway
Road. Gerry and Kathy, you said your family moved to Claymont. I dated a girl
from Claymont around 1979. She went to Claymont High and would have graduated in
1978. She had older brothers and sisters. Last name was Weir, they lived on
Osage Ave in Radnor Green.

Hi Brenda. I sure remember you. I practically lived at your house for a few
years till my parents moved us. I remember your parents and the pride they took

stayed up on the third floor for the most part. I remember one day being there
and the storm window fell down on my finger. Served me right shouldn't of been
open anyway <smile>. I remember how fascinated I was when your Dad put the
tv in the wall in your family room. That must of made an impact. Funny that
others remember that also. Upland had the best Dances. Line Dancing was great
back then. To fun!!! Audrey might remember that I would take all the boys Tie
Clips. <laughing> I still have some of them...Anyone need to stake a
claim?...lol...I heard a bunch of times " Give it back, its my dad's".
To no Avail...Sorry for any spankings I may have caused guys. I'm not mean

ackkkkkkk <laugh>. Oh boy she'll get me for that one!!! I tried to look
you up in the white pages online but there are a few of your hubbys name in
there. I really miss all those wonderful moments of that time. I think back of
the innocence in a Small Town where we all knew each other. Wondering what would
have been if we didn't have to move. remember all the line dancing we used to
do?...Do you remember Miss Rusaks Wedding <histerical laugh>. Do you
remember I had given her mothers baby bottles as a wedding gift because mother
had a miscarriage and we couldn't afford another gift?....Ohhhhhhhh my
goodness!!!! I will never forget how embarrassed she was....lol. Remember how
she chased us around with the yardstick?...<laugh>. But we earned the
honors of being invited to her wedding...she loved us. Audrey...you were always
a wonderful friend to me. Never forget that. Gerry Kline How wonderful!!!

Hi Kathy, I don't remember your last name either. I was born in 1960 so my
years living in "the projects" was from then till 1966 when we moved
across town to Upland Ave. I do remember the name Junior Thompson. I have a 10
year older brother Joe that used to hang around with a guy named Ronny Swingle?
And we knew the Richardsons and a ton of people whose names I can't recall. A
big family that lived up on one of the side streets up towards Mrs. Laughlins
store, a lot of brothers if I recall. When I was 6 and had moved to Upland Ave
and started school I remember names like Judy Kirby, someone on here mentioned a
Kirby. Of course the Whiteleys and Nickersons. Chris Ferguson, Steve Kroll,
Keith Angle, Ada Albrand?, Vandergrifts. And my older brother knew the Woods -
Rick, John, etc. and Mike and Hank Peterson. Mike was hurt in Vietnam. Sooo many
names. Any of these ring any bells?

Hey Ken, Thanks for the memory joggers! I Remember all these things also!
Getting those big fat pickles from Mcginnley's that had so much garlic in them.
I remember pulling a wagon for the soda bottles to the store! We grew up on the
corner of 4th and Roop in the project, I think, right across the street from the
big hill everyone would sled down. Junior Thompson went under a car and crushed
both legs one year! Did you play with my brothers Ronnie and Larry? I have a
picture of them with the water hose in swim suits with Ronnie, Larry and Kenny
on it. Would that be you? Three skinny little boys! I took the picture. Your

Thanks for the welcome Liz, so good to hear from you too. Wow this site is
like a window back through time to reach out to old friends. Regarding Hill
Street. Of course Mr. Makowski was my favorite teacher too! Man the Greek and
Roman mythology - I loved his class. "Now this Zeus guy, he was like the
king of the gods". And of course he always called me by my older brother's
name before correcting himself. Some other things that pop in my head from back
then - sneaking into the basketball gym that was behind a house up the street
from Upland Baptist. the summer carnivals up at Our Lady of Charity. eating
unpaid for cupcakes inside of Morton Prices grocery store and stuffing the
wrappers between loafs of bread before going to the register and paying for the
gallon of milk my mom had sent me down for. the Christmas Parades up on Edgemont
Ave and standing there till your feet froze. the wooden floor at McGinnley's
store. the 4th of July fireworks always ending with the two cannons firing at
each other. buying penny candy up at Mrs. Laughlin's(?) store at teh top of
Mid-Way road using the money from the empty soda bottles I took with me. Phil's
barber shop. Walking down Hill Street with 100 feet of cut white material
trailing me because my mom dressed me up as a mummy for Halloween using old
sheets. WT Grants. the flood of 1972? sledding the hill across from Upland
Baptist. Chicken Delight Pruitt's 5&10 .........I'll try to think of more.

Let's keep this going, with each year I get more and more nostalgic for the
"good old days" when life was simple, we just didn't know it at the
time. It's nice to touch base sometimes, and Upland is home base to so many of
us no matter how far we manage to roam. Until later, Liz

I see a lot of familiar and old friends names on this thread. Albert
Richardson, I grew up two house from you when we lived on Midway Road in the
project. Your older brother Richie was a good friend when my father died, he
stayed with the family for days until my older brother Joe got home from Italy.
Liz Whiteley, I was best buddies with your younger brother John. I remember when
the flood hit in 73? I was at your house all the time as a kid. To any of the
Nickersons - I was good friends with Robin, I remember the TV set your father
had built into the wall in the rec room. Chris Ferguson - good to see you here.
Did you ever get in touch with Joe Kerrigan? I think you said he was in Texas
these days? I miss anyone? I went to Hill Street from 66-69, then Main Street
from 69-71, then back to Hill Street for 1 year 71-72. My father died then and
my mom moved us to Chichester. Ken

Hi All! Ron Mullen told his wife Ann to call me about this site. There are so
many folks on here that I remember. I am so excited I called my sister Gerry and
we just cried together! Soooo many memories!We've decided after the new year to
plan a trip up there. Upland was a great place! We moved to Claymont,Delaware
when I was 16 and we hated it! My parents thought they were doing the right
thing.It was a disaster for my brothers. My brother Rocky died in a car accident
at 29.I decided to get married too young and so did my sister. We are both doing
great now I've been married to my second husband for 28 years. I work for a
local TV station and had four children and now have 6 grandchildren.Gerry is
single and has been for years.She has 2 grown kids and a grandaughter on the
way.I would love to hear from anyone who remembers us. I remember Mr. Makowski I
had such a secret crush on him! I thought he looked like Frank Sinatra! He would
tell me, " Kline you are just like my wife dumb but beautiful". I am
sorry to hear he is gone. Ms Jackson, Mr Makowski,and Mrs. Houston were my
favorite teachers! (Mrs Stoots) Thats another story she slapped me across the
face in front of the class because I couldn't get a math problem correct so I
kicked her in the shins and called her a name.She was mean.Take Care, Kathy

Hi all, I went to Hill Street School (grades 1-8) and then to Eddystone High.
Graduated in 1954 from Eddystone. I remember all the old teachers--Miss Pretty,
who was principal,then Mrs. Booth who was my grandmother, and Miss Jackson.
Sorry to read she died of cancer. We lived at the top of 9th Street. Sitting
here while we are all covered with ice, I remember the great sledding we
had--starting at the top of the hill on Main St. between 8th & 9th, turning
the corner at 9th St., and if we were lucky going all the way to Mulberry
turning right and making it to 8th St. Needless to say there wasn't much traffic
at that time. Hill Street was a great school. We had good teachers. When we
moved to Rising Sun, it was a lot like Upland before all the development. Now we
are being developed and losing the small town flavor. I'm probably one of the
oldest ones on this site, but would love to hear from some classmates. I know
some have passed away. Janie Laderer from 10th St., who lives in Pottstown at
the time of your last response, you use to come over and play with my son,
Eddie, before you went to school. It was a good time when kids were allowed to
roam the neighborhood and didn't have to be couch potatoes.

Hi Cathy, I am the second of six kids (Harpster) My dad died in 67, when I
was almost 12. It was really a hard time for me and the rest of us. My mom
married again and is still married happily. We are all married, my brother Ed
does not have children, unfortunatly. We moved to Delaware in 1970. We lost our
sister Barbara to cancer 8 years ago. But other than that, so far so good.
Recently I just found my cousins, that I need to make physical contact with. (on
my dad's side) this is exciting to me, I remember them and am looking forward to
seeing my dad's brother. My dad always said he wanted to see his kids graduate
school, and he didn't get that chance. But I wish he could have met his
grandchildren more. I still miss him terribly! God has his reasons for what
happened, and I trust God. My dad didn't have to suffer and for that I am
thankful. Write again and thanks for remembering us! It feels great to know
people remember "the Harpster's" That part of my life will never be
forgotten!!

I LOVE reading this site. I left Upland 30 years ago and moved to Virginia
but every time I jump on here and read the messages, it's like being transported
back to the fun and wonderful time I had in Upland with my family - Ron, Skip
and John Mullen, the whole Linzey Clan and my sisters Ginny and Arlene Mansley
(I was Cathy Mansley back then).Even having to work in the family store, on 6th
Street, seems like fun now as I look back. Linda and Pat Herko were the two
nicest people I have yet to encounter, as were their parents. I really miss all
the fun times with the Rumford girls - Nancy, Linda and Mickey. There were so
many wonderful, fun loving people - Buddy and Bobby Alexander, Mike Hunter and
his family, Donnie Thorton and his family, Kathy O'Byrne, Rich Swallow, Bobby
Love and family, Earl and Debbie Owens, Ace and Janis, "Eightball",
Louie Hawthorne, Richard Paris, the Harpsters and on and on. There were too many
to name. AND Miss English!! I can still conjegate any verb!! I'd really love to
hear from or about any of these people and how they are doing today. Noticed all
the Harpsters posting - Edna and Ed Harpster stood up for my parents, Gladys
Linzey and Ken Mansley, when they got married in 1950. They still talk about how
sad it was that he died so young. I know they would love to hear about the
family.

what a great walk down memory lane . . I used to be Connie Meiser, married my
high school sweetheart John Baxter from 6th & Upland Ave. I lived in what is
now called Auburn Village - we called it the project! I graduated from Hill St
in '63 and went to Eddystone until the closed the doors and was a member of the
first graduating class of Ridley High '67. John and I have been married for 37
years - we've lived in Brookhaven for 24 years. We had a Hill St Reunion for the
classes of '63 and '64 back in the mid 80's. Remember Chucky Richardson - he was
in the Air Force stationed in DC and drove up for it. Other names that come to
mind are Doris Stinson (who unfortunately is no longer with us) Jeanie Hartman,
Linda Herko, Joe Greenwalt (can you believe he is now a cop - he was so BAD!! -
just kidding, Joe), Rick Swallow, Richard Parris, Flossie Smith, Cliff Herbster,
Kathy Crooks, Sheila Bernero, Mina Linaweaver, Debbie Harmon oh, too many names

Cheryl, this is Cindy. I see my sister has been corresponding with you. I
remember your dad a little. I remember my dad and your dad use to go hunting
alot. Do you remember them coming home with deer and hanging them up outside of
the house? I know after your father passed my dad did not hunt anymore. He just
startd back hunting a couple years ago. I remember your dad having what I
believe to be the first K-9 unit for the Upland Police Department. I hope
everyone is doing well. Hope to here from you soon. Until then, take care.

Hello to everyone. I just wanted to say what a big part of life sports played
in Upland. What a proud town. We played every form of baseball. At the ballpark
it was distance out in centerfield, hitting towards the infield. You could
actually play with 2 guys. Backstop/fence ball too. A lot of pickup games over
the summer. Heck, we used to play hardball on the blacktop at Hill Street
school. I remember one day Wayne Bell hit one off Bixler's roof at 10th and
Mulberry. The best was playing on a team. Little league baseball was great.
Loved teener league. I had a lot of really great coaches. They really made it
great for us. I ended up playing some form of ball until about 40. Coached
little league for 10 years. Some of those coaches I remember...Roy Berle...Wayne
Brownhill...Butch (Leroy) Richardson...Tom Kleber...Bob Watson.....Tommy Caraffa...Ben
Depkowski.sp?...Hughey Moore. All from the Upland AC. What floors me when I
think about it is that not a single one of them ever had a kid on the team.
Thanks to all of you. You really made it special for us. Lastly.....I always
remember taking that beaten path to Paris' house to use that spigot for a drink.
Bye for now....Frank

I spent one year at Hill Street School - 8th grade in '66/'67. The last time
I drove by there it was a playground. It's nice to see the old picture - it
brings back a bunch of memories. When I was there it was woods and fields where
the shopping center is. Merton Price at the bottom of the hill - my mom liked
shopping there because they would deliver the groceries. Dirty John's Steak Shop
and Jimmy Gallen's for the pinball machine. Smoking cigarettes on the McGinley
Store steps. Finding dirty magazines in the Sally woods. We lived in the project
"little houses" on Midway next to the Belays. The Bruni's were around
the corner. Swimming down at the falls. The big rope swing that some kid named
Jay climbed way up to put up. Hanging up at the Seminary with Bruce Graf and Bob
Caton. Walking to Chester on Saturdays just for something to do. Pooling our
money to buy one order or fries at the Woolworths at the Brookhaven Shopping
Center. Group youth outings with Reverend McGlinley where it kind of felt like a
group date when we would go bowling or whatever -Jeannie Daugherty was the girl
I liked to think I was kind of going out with even though it was a group. Robin
Scott was a friend. I had the pleasure of dating his sister Elizabeth (Bunny)
some years later. Delivering the Bulletin - almost nobody subscribed. I'd walk
all over Upland to deliver 25 papers. Everybody read the Chester Times. Clem
Makowski swinging around in the middle of a lecture and throwing a chalkboard
eraser at some kid's head. Mr. Richardson - a couple of us went to his apartment
on a Saturday once so some reason, and we thought it was so cool that he had
Playboy magazines on the coffee table. I guess I learned something that year but
those are the two things that stand out as memories of Hill Street School.

I am looking for anyone who went to school with my dad. His name was Francis
Vail. You may have called him Frannie or Frank. He had a brother named Carlton.
They lived at 838 Upland Ave. Not sure what years he would have attended Hill
St. School. His Aunt Margie and Uncle Bud lived on Hill Street also. My dad is
not with us anymore. He died in 1980 of Malignant Melanome cancer. He was 42. I
remember sitting on my grandmother's front porch til late at night with no fear.
I loved Upland. I remember when I was really little that there was a supermarket
at the fork of Upland Ave. and Hill Street. When I got older, I saw they had put
a lumber yard in the building. I also rememeber a laudry mat at the bottom of
Hill St. There was also a pharmacy. I remember in the early '70's a flood and
the baseball field was flooded up to the catcher's cage top. I remember a mobile
home being towed to the top of the Acme Supermarket parking lot so it would not
be ruined in the flood. Anyone who can email me with any information about my
dad, I would greatly apprecite it. I would love to see old school photos. I
think I have one some place of him. When I find it, I will post it. Thanks for
listening and God Bless.

From Mickey's brother, 9-11-06 Jim & Earl, I know you've been writing
back & forth with Mickey, but I don't know if he told you that he's been
very sick. He's been putting up a brave front, but things have gone from bad to
worse the last month or so. His illness is terminal, and we don't expect him to
last much longer. He's back in the hospital, but he will be home with hospice
care probably later this week. The pain medication keeps him pretty groggy, and
it's difficult to talk to him because he is very confused; he's also very weak
and it's a real strain for him just to speak. I'm writing to you both just in
case you've been wondering why you haven't heard from him. He's a great guy, and
there are a lot of people who will really miss him. I'm lucky to have a brother
like him. -------------------------------------------------- From Mickey's
brother: 9/16/2006 Mickey passed away in the early morning hours of Sept. 16th.
We were all with him and it was a very peaceful passing. He will be greatly
missed. ------------------------------------------------ Mickey and his family
are in our prayers -- Earl.

Great to see a page dedicated to Upland, PA. I have many memories of growing
up on 8th and Main Streets and attending both Main Street and Hill Street
schools through 8th grade. I remember the old "gang," Archie Albrand,
Bruce White, Harry Angle, Bill Yasic, Bobby Mullaney, Milt Melville, and Danny
McKay. I also remember great times and the fun of living not too far from the
old woods behind Hill Street School. Upland, was a great experience but yes, we
have all grown and changed. My wife and I currently live in Florida where I am
Superintendent of a school. I am grateful for my early years and remember,
Merton Price, Jimmy Jones Sub Shop, and yes, Clem Makowski and Mrs. Courtright...and
Mable Jackson. In fact, it was Mable Jackson who inspired me to make education a
priority in my life. Thanks, Miss Jackson.....I went on to complete my
bachelor's degree, two master's and a Ph.D. Thanks!!! Mike Chivalette

Day" and singing songs on the front lawn of Hill Street School. Being a
"Safety" on the playground and on the street corners before and after
school. Chuck Taylor black hightops and "Dungarees".....(Now
"jeans and Tennis shoes"....Yuck.....who plays tennis anyway!?...lol
Every Mom on the block was "your mom" and had unwritten permission to
scold you if you misbehaved and kept the block Mom network alive. Remember when
they used to teach us about brushing your teeth properly and would give you red
tablets to chew on that would leave stains where you didn't brush properly?
Selling flower seeds packets for the school. The huge aquarium in Mr. Emory'
classroom where we raised the white mice for science class. Hope to hear from
more Upland Alumni on this site. Keep the memories coming!

Hello to everyone from Hill St. and Eddystone schools. Just found this page
and remember almost all who signed on and posted a lot of names. Sure brought
back some memories. I lived on West 22nd st. just inside the Upland line. I used
to hang around with Gary Nygard, Archie, Rich Birely, ....cut thru Blyler
funeral home and then thru the Mansion next to the Armory to get to Hill St
school. Just heard from Carol Silva by email and would like to hear from anyone
who remembers me and would like to e-mail. Attended the Hill St reunion back in
the 80's at the Upland firehouse. What a blast from the past that was!! Was a
brat back then and attended many detentions with Mabel Jackson. I remember the
market (Merton-Price?) at the bottom of Hill st. Grabbed many apples (one at a
time) on the way home from school. Also remeber dirty John's steak shop. Stopped
eating there after seeing ashes fall on the grill from a cigarette in his mouth
while he was cooking my steak sandwich!! I remember the dances at Upland Boro
Hall, St. James and Eddystone High. Went to Eddystone and then to Ridley for
senior year in "67". Mickey Conners, still see your sister
"Ginger" as she is friends with my wife. Well, gotta go....hope
everyone is well and thanks for all the memories from the posts.

Hi Carol Silva Yes I am Joe Greenwalt's "little" brother...lol. He
resides in Chester and retired from the Chester Police Dept. with the rank of
Major. He has been retired for 7 years now. Im going to let him know about this
site so he can share some memories and make some contacts. Sorry I didnt get
back to you sooner...but I only check back here every couple months to read the
new entries. I hope everyone is well. Please keep sharing your
"memories" here. It is great to read all the fun times that were had
and shared. Sledding on"Dead Mans Hill" over at the Crozer Seminary.
My first job was at Borland's Pharmacy at 8th and Upland Ave. I was 14 and got
my working papers from Main Street School to take the job stocking shelves and
sweeping up the store for $1.00 an hour! I also had to put the great big two
ring binders back that were used to refer to when re-filling customers
prescriptions. They were in pigeon hole racks in the pharmacy in alphabetical
order. The pharmacists would pull the book, fill the prescription, then toss the
binder onto the floor for me to have to pick up and put back later! Borlands was
also a good place to pickup those "Friendship rings" when you wanted
to go steady with a girl......lol. I bought a few of those!! OK.....Your Turn!!

HI TO ALL, I have been reading all the messages that have been sent in and I
figured I could add some info. So here goes. Many of the names I saw probably
went to school with my two older brothers Bob and Jack Hartman. Jack is no
longer with us but Bob is still living in Ridley Park. I was a number of years
behind them when I went to Hill Street and Main Street schools. Many names that
I read brought back so many memories. Linder Ferguson wow what a memory you
have. You were a year behind me in school. Do you all remember Liane Ferguson?
She lived on Hill Street. How about Shiela Bunero. Chucky Richardson on Church
Street who went out with Sandy McClintock on Mulberry Steet. Adrienne Johnson on
Mulberry Street. Jean Yeck, Doris Stinson (who was my best friend), Debbie
Harman, Linda Herko, Bill Krug, Rich Paris, Rich Swallow, Kathy Swallow, Chuck
and Bob Love (lived on 11th St.) Ron Carrafa, Floss Smith, Ruth Smith, Tom
O'Byrne, Kathy O'byrne, Joanne Whitaker, Maryann Kirby, Ann Blizzard, Diane
Blizzard, Dave Ott, Linda Sension, Allan Johnson, Cheryl Hamilton, Bernie
Zoranski,--Mickey I knew your sister Ginger, then there was Ruth Smith, Bob
Cardwell, Craig Schnee, Connie Meiser, John Baxter. I think that is enough for
now. I lived in Upland until I was 23 when I got married. Moved to Aston for a
few years and then moved to Bethel in 1977. My Mom lived in Upland from 1947? to
1999. Unfortunately, I never see anyone. We did have an 8th grade reunion quite
a number of years ago. I guess that was the last time I saw many of the people
that I went to school with. I too am sorry to hear Clem Makowski passed. He was
a great teacher. Mabil Jackson best English teacher. Never had a problem
throughout high school with English. How about Mrs. Smith (science teacher). How
about the parties, sleep overs, dances. Kids don't seem to have the fun we did
growing up. Boy do I sound old. I hung out a Jimmy's store on 10th and woodside
ave. and also at 6th and main. One more thing, I do remember Gary McDermitt and
Frank Heckert. Hey, we lived in a very close community. Everyone knew everyone
else. It was great growing up. By the way Glen I knew your brother Joe. Hope to
hear from anyone who would like to send me an e-mail. Jean

Hey, alot of names I remember here, Leon I remember you! Carol of course I
remember you! I was Debbie's friend, used to spend the night at your house. Your
mom was the best!! Man! the memories Upland hold! Of course I hold all memories
close b/c of my dad passing when I was in 6th grade. Mr. Makowski used to tell
me all the time that I would get used to being called "Harpster"
instead of Cheryl, when I got in the Army. I never did go into the Army tho'. I
live in Middletown, Delaware, have four daughers, married for 27years, and I
have a 20 month old grand daughter (who I totally adore!) and a new grand son!
My mom is still very healthy and still very pretty! Out of six of us kids, Edna
Marie, Cheryl, Barbara, Nancy, LuAnn and Eddie Jr. Only one is gone now. Barb
passed away from Cancer 8 years ago. We miss her terribly! Anyway, I do miss
Upland, when we moved, I was so depressed. My mom couldn't understand what we
missed, but playing ciggerette tag and pies in the middle of the street is miss
worthy. My old friends! I really do miss a few of them! Debbie Silva, Janice
Bailey, Debbie Young, Debbie Mistachio just to name a few. I loved 4th of July
in the ball park at night with the fireworks, I remember watching ball games on
the bleachers, with Ray Walls (got to hold his hand one night!) and Laughhead!
Can't remember his first name. I remember Ramona Merwin! Does anyone remember
that my dad was the Cheif of Police? Oh yeah, I lived next door to the Kirby's
on 7th Street! I babysat for Penny Herman, my dad was friends with Bob Smith.
These memories are so important to me, and all of you that write here are such
great memories for me! Glad someone started this! I love it!! Patty Green,
that's another neighbor I had. Joe Malone, Audrey Nickerson, (the guy I just
loved in sixth grade, must mention him) Tom Quinn! Sixth grade and on, was
rough, wouldn't want to do that again! Very confusing time for me as you can
imagine. Oh yeah, I did write to Richard Breeze! So that was cool! This is just
great, I will be stopping back again! My email is sneakdit@verizon.net WRITE,

Hi everyone. Was working on some history about my Dad, former Upland Police

Hello to all, Just passing through and thought i would put my memories in.
First off if anyone knows of George Hand, lived on Lane-B in the Projects,
please let him know i would like to contact him. I was just sitting in my office
at home minding my own business and laughing at some of the things we would do
on a whim, like following the tracks all the way to lindville orchards, just to
play Picketts charge in the orchard on the hill, and in the fall would get free
apples and cider from the press barn. Does anyone remember the day Rocky
Laughlen rock a fastball out of the park to the municipal building parking lot
and hit the windshield of a car. what a shot. Thats all. Be good, be well, be
good to oneanother. Al Richardson P.S. Rember the all nighters on legion hill
after Christmas when everyone would gather the Christmas trees and have a
bonfire going and sledding by the light. you gotta love it. we would be arrested
for any of the above today!

Hi All I too am very sorry to hear of Clem Makowski's passing. I think I may
still have a couple of those "GOOSEGGS" he used to give out with that
big ring he wore. His desk used to be in the BACK of the classroom and he would
sneak up on you if you were talking in class and give you a crack on the noggin
with that big ring. I only needed a couple of those to get the message. After
that... all he would have to say is..."Mr. Greenwalt.....do you want a
goosegg"? and I snapped right to as did the whole class. I think the
schools need a few more Mr Makowsi's around to straighten out the spoiled kids
in schools today. I was afraid to go home and tell Mom that I got paddled
because she would say..."Well, you must have done something wrong
then".....you're grounded" So, Id walk around with a sore butt and not
say anything. Between Mr. Makowski's ring, and Jesse Richardson's paddle, I
never knew what end was hurting the most!...LOL....but I thank them and all the
staff at Hill street school , not only for my education, but for the discipline
and caring that was handed out as well. Anyone else out there have any memories
of Hill Street?

How many of you can still recite your auxiliary verbs, Oh Captain My Captain,
or The Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers by Juaquin Miller. I still can thanks to
Ms Jackson. After hearing every kid in class recite them and then writing them
in detention until they became part of my psych I could finally recite them
myself. She was great for making us keep notebooks and outlines and I learned
all of the parts of speech from her. She was tenacious and wonderful tho she
seemed an ogre at the time. It is fun to see that some of the guys posting here
were her prime targets during the early 60s. And Paul Mokowsky taught me to play
baseball without throwing the bat after a hit. Upland was wonderful. It was a
place for walking, exploring, experimenting and it kept me out of the house all
of the time. Everyone had a familiar face and a reputation to either flee too or
to flee from. The colorful characters like Lard Ass Milly and that old run down
house on Main Street that you could cut through the yard to get to Lane K or the
Third Street Hill was always a fun place to see. Those old ladies used to hang
their humungous peach colored old lady underwear on the line and we would giggle
about it and make wisecracks about the size. They were probably some of the
sweetest old ladies in town. I was a project kid and drove through it a few
years ago and down to the museum on Race Street. It is fun to think that Martin
Luther King Jr was right there at Crozier when we didnt even know him. I would
really like to find John Swanson, Barbara Bruni, Walter Wanko, Kerry Grasser or
Ruth McClintock. She was the first girl I ever kissed. It happened right at 3rd
and Griffith on a cold winter night and I think one of our noses was running.
hehehe. And as for Mickey Conners, we had a fight one day and ole Mickey swung
and hit me right on the Adam's apple. I didnt think I would ever catch my breath
again. What a wimp I was. Well, it was all fun... cept for the tears. Hi to you
all. I did get a letter from Skipper Paiges sister. She said he had passed away
while living in Phoenix. He was one great friend who also taught me a lot. Tom

I am surprised that no one has commented on the passing of Clem Makowski. Mr.
Makowski has always been one of my Hero's!! He was a great teacher, and a
positive role model with a zero tolerance approach. He would get your attention
real quick if you misbehaved in his class, and yet he had a fatherly side too,
he cared about his students (his kids as he use to say), my heart felt
condolences go out to the Makowski family. Clem was the Best

Stumbled across the Upland page. So good to remember old days. Upland was a
wonderful place to grow up in and make friends. Jim Litteral: Are you the
brother of Jerry? Jerry and I played Little League Baseball behind Our Lady of
Charity. When Jerry moved, my Dad would pick him up, to finish out the season,
and All Star practice. Frank Yeck! Is this Nicky Yecky, who I know? Mickey
Conners, when's the last time someone called you HARP! I remember Harp, playing
Backstop, Fence Ball, and "Bases" in the Ballpark! Chuck Love: My Dad
either bought a car from you, or you from him, so long, shaking out the cobwebs.
George Warren: I still remember the day when you told us during a game of
fenceball, that you and your family were moving to New Jersey. A sad day it was.
To see your name 43 years later, is so good. Looks like you are still in Jersey.

Hi Gang. Hope everyone had a great Christmas season. Happy New Year and
health and happiness to all. Just reading the messages and wanted to add a few
things. Stanley Zgliezewski (Jr) passed away this Christmas eve from Lung
Cancer. He was 56 or 57 I believe. His parents still live on West 22nd street. I
went to the viewing and saw his sister Kathy and brother Earl. They were my
neighbors growing up in Upland and are very nice people. Also...Hey Rich
Jenkins. How are things? I just read your message and noted that you now live in
Eureka. I was there this past summer. I flew into Oakland Calif. with my
girlfriend and another couple and we rented new Harleys and toured up PCH
through and Washington State. After checking out the Cascade Mt range, Crater
Lake and all the other great spots we cruised back down through NAPA valley and
back to Oakland. Two weeks and 2200 miles. Beautiful out there! If I had known
you were so close I would have looked you up. I actually stayed over at the Best
Western in Eureka. Oh well....maybe next trip. Happy New year to all Upland

For Donna (Thompson) Kessinger
Some say Archie has been abducted by aliens, later escaped and has been on a
long quest to find the magic water that cures grey hair and semi-baldness.
Others say he is alive and well, now living in Linwood Pa, tired of running
around the universe looking for stupid magic cures.

I was researching a project for scool when I came across this website. I was
struck when I saw so many familiar names. I lived on the Pusey Plantation with
my Mother, brothers and Stepfather for 6 years. Prior to that my Grandmother,
Margaret Beauchamp (Peg) was the curator for about ten years.
I saw Dennis Beauchamp post who's Mom (Peg) Beauchamp was also listed. Isn't
it something to have two wonderful women not only sharing the same town but
name. I also noticed Kim Hickey's name. Kim I remember you from Notre Dame.
Additionally, I saw a post from Carol Silva and wondered if you were not related
to Chris Silva, daughter of Judge Silva, who also went to Notre Dame. So much
has changed. I visited the Pusey Plantation the other day and it's
heart-breaking, as well as the immediate surrounding areas. It was a wonderful
place to live at one time and today there are still those that uphold that sense
of pride that existed among home and business owners alike. It was great seeing
this site and I hope to hear back from some of you folks.

Right on, Mickey!! The things you mentioned in your last msg.,are things I
remember well! Remember the underground shacks we built in the woods? Use to
have tunnels and all. remember going into the sewers and walking thru. the
"pipe line"? we use to steal the iron balls that they lit up at
construction sites and took them into the tunnel. How about the Orchard in back
of Main Street School? ate alot of green apples and got sick. Oh, yes, Billy
Kane. Never forget the headline---"UPLAND BOY DROWNS IN CITY RIVER" He
was older than us. 16 when he died.

Hi Gang...Just changed my e-mail adddress to Det57@Verizon.net. Hello to
Richard Jenkins...I do remember you. We used to also hang out at "Dead Mans
Hill" in the seminary. I also remember Merton Price's store at the foot of
Hill Street, Borland's Pharmacy at 8th and Hill street. That was my very first
job there when I was 14 years old and got my "working papers" at Main
St School. I used to sweep the floors and front walk, stock the shelves, and put
away the prescription binders when the parmacists was done filling the
prescriptions. I also remember the Pops store across from Gallens at 10th and
Woodside. We used to go there at lunch time. I also remember that the
"armory" on 24th street was the place where anyone that "Called
somebody out" to fight went to settle their differences after school. The
crowd would gather around and watch the two "fighters" do their thing
for a few minutes until one would say they had "had enough" and the
fight was over....many times shaking hands after. No guns or knives .....just
fists. Times sure have changed. Selling flower seed packets to rasie money for
school fundraisers......raising white mice in a huge aquariam tank in Mr.
Emory's class.... and getting swatted on occassion by Mr. Richardson when I
acted up. I never told my mother that I got paddled when I went home or she
would say "You must have deserved it" and grounded me for a few days.
To Donna Thompson...., I am the same that lived next to Stan Zglesewski on W.
22nd street. I have an older brother named Joe. I lived at 415 W. 22nd St 4
doors away from Stan Earl and Kathy. Kathy is now living in the 300 block of
West 22nd street. Stan's parents STILL live at the same house. Very nice people.
I have been in law enforcement for the past 29 plus years.....first 4 years in
Parkside Borough and then to the County Detectives (Del. Co. CID). I really
enjoy reading the e-mails and memories from everyone on this site. I havent been
on here for quite some time but will make it a point to check in more often. I
hope everyone is doing well. Take Care and be safe!

I attended Upland School and graduated from Hill Street in 1959 before moving
to California. I lived at 318 Griffith Street in the project and was best
friends with Barbara Bruni, Johnny Swanson, Walter Wanko, George Grow and Kerry
Grasser. Tommy and Galen Mitchell, JB Jones and Barry Jones ran with my brother
Larry. I treasured Thelma Houston as my 4th grade teacher, survived Helen Draper
and remember Mr Ichenger used to cuss at kids loud enough to hear him all over
the building. Paul Moukouski was fantastic as a teacher and the blond Mr
Moukouski was teh girls knight in armor. I can still recite parts of The Landing
of the Pilgrim Fathers, Oh Captain my Captain and poems that Mabel Jackson
forced into our hearts and minds. My uncle, Warren Whitaker taught science and
was principal for a while. Barbra Bruni (Babs) and I used to sneak into the
dances at the firehouse when we were underage but simply loved to dance. I have
tried thru the years to find her but only knew her grandma, Ida Farrs name and I
know that Ida passed away long ago. All of my PA relatives are long gone. I
often think of school when it was in the Mansion, then the new building, the
trees being blown over by Hurricane Hazel and the local stores and hoagie shops
we shared. Other names and faces pass in my memory and I wonder if anyone is
still around like Emma Quintin or Bertha Ryan, Jerry McGuigan or Skipper Page.
Old Mrs Magroirity did a great job preparing me in math and there was some man
teacher that failed half the class in 6th grade seperating us for ever. Billy
Green drowned at the swimming hole in the Salvation Army area off Race Street. I
remember he was an only son and try to honor his memory even here. Upland holds
many many wonderful memories. I was a school teacher for 31 years and attribute
my career to those wonderful teachers on the second floor of Hill Street. There
was one neighbor, Mrs Shoop, who used to treat me to lunch if I would go to the
store during lunch hour. She was very kind and one of my favorite people. Hi to
any who remember me. Please write anytime. Sorry if I left out any names as you
were all important in making me the man I am today, even if you were one of the

I attended Hill Street school from 1950 until 1955 when I moved to Lancastr,
Pa. My maiden name was Hullihen. I lived at 405 West 21st. street. I had Ms.
Burger for first grade, Ms. Gardner for second grade, Ms. Stutz for third grade,
Ms. Courtright for 4th grade and Ms. Banks for 5th grade. I recall Merton Price
store and a little penny candy store which I think was at the bottom of the
hill. My sister and I and our best friends, Connie and Cathy Hendrickson, who
lived across the street used to walk to school together every day, often taking
the short cut through a woods with the remains of an old estate we called
"the path". We also climbed that hill in all weather, slipping
backward in the snow two steps for every one we took and being sent to the
principal for being late. I remember the wonderful Xmas and Thanksgiving
programs we put on at some building off campus and all the parents were invited.
I recall the "safety" called "fish" who helped us cross a
very busy street near W. 23rd street. I remember the play ground in the back was
all black asphalt with steps leading out to a sidewalk. My sister attended all
the way to 6th grade and had one of a set of twins for a teacher who used to
tell bible stoies using cut out figures on a flanel board. I remember some of my
classmates: Trudy DeMarco. She had peirced ears and I was very intrigued by them
since I had never seen them before and wasn't allowed to have them. I finally
had my ears peirced in college (UConn 1967). Another student was (and I don,t
know how to spell his last name) Joey Doskosill who emigrated from what was then
known as Czechoslovakia. Both Trudy and Joey were in my 5th grade class with
Mrs. Banks (1955). Joey was my first "crush". Jeffrey Griffith was a
very bright student in that class whose father was studying at the Crozer
Seminary which was located directly down the street from my house. We used to
sled on "Dead Man's Hill in Crozer Seminary. We spent many summer days
playing in Crozer Seminary, turning over rocks in the streams looking for
crawfish and climbing trees. Another student at Hill street was Eleanor
Caldwell, a very bright student. Dorothy Reid was a friend of mine in 5th grade.
There was also in 5th grade a girl named Judy who wrote left handed and would
suck air in through her teeth which made a sucking noise as she wrote. I also
remember Kay Beth who lived on West 22nd street, who was an A student. I
remember her mother inviting teachers to lunch. She was in my second grade class
with Ms. Gardner and then moved. I recall another girl whose name I can't recall
but she lived on West 23rd street and had a parakeet. Facing my house, on the
left lived Joey Pigano. I recall the yearly carnival held on the lawn of the
Crozer Hospital. Crozer Cemetary (with gravestones, not to be confused with the
Seminary) was adjacent to my back yard. Do any of you who had Mrs. Banks
remember how she would cover the board with notes about each state and we were
required to copy the notes into blue notebooks and memorize them for a test. I
remember when the little cafeteria was installed and you could order milk,
sandwich, soup, and icecream. Mrs. Banks class was held in that room for awhile.
I remember the 1st grade reading groups: cardinals, bluejays, etc., and the
desks bolted to the floor with empty holes for inkwells. I remember selling
chocolate covered Easter eggs door-to-door for school fund raisers every year. I
used to eat as many, or probably more, than I sold and my Mother had to pay for
them. I have so many fond memories of my childhood in the neighborhood and at
school. I just looked up the school on a fluke, and couldn't believe that this
site exists. I've been trying to locate Cathy Hendrickson and Dorothy Reid. Also
there was a Linda Bowers who lived with her Aunt next door to Joey Doskosill's
house for a time. Please let me know if you have any idea how to contact them.
Also please share your memories with me if you were in any of my classes. My
name was Holly Hullihen. My sister's was Eileen Hullihen. I was at Hill St. from
1950 to 1955 and Eileen was there from 1949 until 1955.

Here's a message from a 'really' old man. I graduated from Hill Street in
1942 and Chester High in 1946. Several of you have paid honors to my aunt, Mabel
S. Jackson, the English teacher - and I thank you for that. She died in 1995 of
cancer at the age of 83. Do any of you 'Uplanders' know the whereabouts of Bill
Bailey, son of Willametta Bailey - or any of the Bailey family. I've just
learned that Bill may be a cousin, and I've been trying to locate him. Thanks in
advance.

Hi e1, I am Debbie Richardson. My brother Al Richardson just told me about
this site. I THINK IT'S GREAT!! I went to Upland Elementry and graduated Hill st.
In the later 60's. I went to Collingdale for awhile not long though. I graduated
Hill st. in 1970. I remember those dances at the church on Friday's and then
going over to the cemetary later and smoke, we used to sit in the covert and
smoke. I didn't see anyone's name in here yet that I remember. Mr. McKowski was
my favoriate teacher because I always fell asleep in his class when we watched
movies. As for Mr Emory I was sooo in love with him when he first started
teaching until he got married,lol. Hope to hear from some of my old friends.
L8ter ya'll, Debbie

I went to Hill Street school from 1960 to 1968. My first grade teacher was
Ms. Tuttle. I also remember Clem Makowski, Mr. Richardson, Miss Banks, Miss
Yeamen, Miss Horne, Miss Tucker, as well as Ms, Smith and Ms. Jackson. A LOT of
great memories there. I watched when they tore the building down and almost
cried. I still ride by there once in a while and check it out. The playground
looks SOOO small now! The trees in the front area are still standing that we
planted for "Arbor Day" We were bused to Collingdale in 1969 before
the Chester-Upland merger. Catholic schools had nothing over ole Hill Street
teachers with the paddles, pointers, and class ring "goosegg" from Mr.
Makowski and some of the other teachers. We need to have teachers (and
parents)be able to dicipline the kids again. They are getting way out of
control! Hope to hear from some old classmates.

I started school at Hill St. in 1958. Had Mrs. Stillwell for 1st grade. I
remember her trying to teach me to write with my right hand, when I was
definitely left handed. Left Hill St. school after 8 years in June of 1966, and
then was part of the first class to attend Collingdale High School thru 1970. I
spent 6th grade at the Main St. school. Remember Hill St. did not have a 6th
grade, and Main St. did not have 7th and 8th grades. I remember teachers like
Miss Yeaman - 3rd grade, Mrs. Courtwright - 4th grade, Mrs. Banks - 5th grade
Miss Spengamen(SP) the meanest teacher in the Upland school district - 6th grade
MR. Richardson, Mr. Makowski, Mrs. Smith, Miss Jackson, Miss Tucker these were
all 7th and 8th grade teachers at that time. Who remembers Mrs. Bray the school
nurse. Do you remember marching from Hill St. to Main St. for the Hobby Show,
Science Fair, and Christmas Concerts. I lived just across the street from the
school on Mulberry St. I have many fond memories of my time spent at Hill ST.

We have been out in Arizona ever since. Just was back in PA in July and was able to take in some of the sights again..So much has changed, homes boarded up, schools closed....Kathy owned beauty shops at her home on Upland Ave. and on 9th St. Barbara and Chuck attended Main Street and Hill Street Schools. Michael attended Holy Ghost Ukranian Catholic School on Third St. in Chester. Some of our ole friends from Upland have emailed us....still would love to hear from anyone from back in the late sixties early 70's. We have since made friends with other PA transplants out here in Arizona, they all survived the great flood of June of 71...when Agnes blew through and washed our stuff away..Upland was under water...hope to hear from some current or former Uplanders....God Bless...
