Forgot to mention...what does that sign say down by the Kittanning bridge? (that's where it used to be), that shows Kit-Han-Ne (or some variation spelling) and talks about the Indians?) I no longer live in Kittanning and won't be home to read the sign til June for a graduation, so if anyone knows can you please enlighten me? Thanks!
