Hey Carl,
My name is Sam Young and I was born at the old Kittanning hospital and raised in Kittanning, (1965-1983), man that shows my age, and the surrounding area. I found the website by pure accident, and luck, a couple of weeks ago, my Grandmother lives in Ford City and she mentioned the movie, so I did research and there was Kittanning. Welcome to the new century. It is a great website Carl. I am really happy for everyone in Kittanning, that is great someone finally noticed this wonderful little town and it will forever be in film. There are not many towns like it anymore, I know I have been all over the world. Your web site is great and I enjoy reminicing about home. I have not been there in years. I am still in the Navy, have been since a month after I graduated from Lenape. I live in Virginia with my wife and daughter, hope to get home and visit my Grandmother soon.
I have seen some great stuff and been to some wonderful countries, but nothing compares to the close knit feeling of Kittanning. Some that live there may not agree with how I feel, mainly the younger folks I would think, but take it from someone who has been all over our world and seen a lot of things, there is no place like home and Kittanning will forever be my home.
Thanks for the website Carl, and putting Kittanning on the map of the internet world. and finally CONGRATULATIONS Kittanning !!! YES !!!!
