And I'm pleased to report that the news article featuring the research has
resulted in one donation of new photographs to PTM...from a lady living in
Sarver, whose uncle was an operator for TB&B.  All but one were of that
company; the final one was an AV car.

Of course they had to christen the cars with Billy Baxter Ginger Ale as
Prohibition was the law of the land.  Not that there were not bootleggers in
the New Kensington area, long noted for an association with "The Family".
The current editor of the Valley News noted none of the girls had "foreign" 
names.  The time period did not permit, no grant, any recognition of
foreigners.

Yes, I and the staff at the paper are enjoying the research.  I finished
1932 today. By the way, Roosevelt won despite the fact Tarentum went for
Hoover.
