It was McChain.  Also Birkhammer.  And Latta.  And Dei-Cas, originally.  I
would have to research Seybold/Seybolts.

	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
*Greenmont--Avenue*  ---   without the "U"(:->)

	Isn't there one on Charleroi  --  McChain vs. McChane, or is that a slur of
*McClain--McClane??*(:->)   And what about  *Seybold--vs--Seybolts*  just
before
*McChain--vs--McChane.*   .......And  *Berkhamer*  vs  *Birkhammer*   and
*Lattner--vs--Latta*  near Roscoe!!   And  *Deices--vs--Dices.*
