	Lived on  *Greenmount__Ave.*  in Dormont in Pizzaburger from latter 1940s through early
1960s in the 1400 block but the  *other*  block also had a street sign for

	Isn't there one on Charleroi  --  McChain vs. McChane, or is that a slur of

*McChain--vs--McChane.*   .......And  *Berkhamer*  vs  *Birkhammer*   and 
*Lattner--vs--Latta*  near Roscoe!!   And  *Deices--vs--Dices.*
