Is the name of the people you know that lived on Diamond St. "Schwenk"? (may not be proper spelling)
He was the principal or superintendent of Pennridge High School.
This "world" may be getting smaller.

I have not, But my wife may have. She lived there for a short time back in the 50s. Not sure.
I have tried, here, to attach a picture of the church. I can't see if it will work or not. The picture is of Brethren in Christ Church.
My wife was in the foster children program from Phila. at that time & lived with a few people until she graduated from Pennridge High School in 1955. We both came from Phila., Frankford section, met in Allentown, married in Perkasie, and lived near these parts most of the time.
The second attached picture is of the house we built on Diamond St., (1715) back in the 70s. We sold it in 1987 or 88. Like I said, small world!

Wayne

I know!

Small world!
I bet I know which church in Silverdale.
If you would want to see more about the commissioning ceremony at Penns Landing just "google" it. Very interesting.
Hope to meet you out photographing the beauty sometime.

Hey Sailor's Mom,
Did you see the commissioning ceremony at Penns Landing of the USS Somerset-LPD 25 on 3/1/14? Great ship with a special name, in honor of the crew of flight 93 on 9/11. My grand daughter is on a "sister" ship, the USS Green Bay-LPD 20.
GO NAVY!

JAMM,
Great photos. Good camera, lens, & photographer! Do you have these &/or more on a web site?
Thanks,

Wayne

ELLIERN,
My mistake- your benefit! You wouldn't want to see a picture of Wayne, or whomever or whatever that is.
Wish I was in your neighborhood now instead of COLD Pa. I will be later this year.
Thanks,
Wayne, whom ever or what ever I am.

lukan,
I agree with all you wrote. A LONG time ago I started working as an auto mechanic and knew I should learn from an experienced man, not just school. He told me "You must have the right size hammer for the job". The same with all tools of the trade. With this in mind, I never stop learning. And I can & do learn from everyone (not always something good, but it's good to learn what is not good also).
Thanks,
Wayne

duane13,
I am very interested in hearing about you using the Minolta Maxum lens & others. I am looking at a couple of these as bargain $$. I didn't know if they would work on this Sony. I'm also considering several Sigma lenses made for the older Minolta. Do you really like these?
Thanks,
Wayne

ALSH,
Really SMART handling. My wife doesn't know yet.
But that's what wives are for, isn't it?

Wayne

KT Johnson,
Good photos. Do you have them &/or more on a web site?

Tomd 01,
I'm getting the same "deal" from B&H. Should be here today.
Thanks,
Wayne

Thanks for the NEW information I was not aware of. I WILL give it a try.

dsmeltz, lukan, carl 383,carter power, mdi mainer, jim 100,duane 13,toddzilla, and everyone else,
Thanks for all the responses about the Sony a77. Sounds like after all my research I picked a good one. I did the same for my last camera. It also sounds like the after market instruction books are worth while. I'm also one of the very few persons I know that reads the instruction book that comes with the camera. I will also try to keep in contact with with some of you to learn more from your experiences with this camera and it's lenses that you have used (and I am hoping I can add to my camera kit).
Again, thanks a lot for your responses.
Wayne

Peekayoh,
Yes!
It's on the way. Special sale ended 3/6/14. Saved $$$$.
I would still like to hear from others who have been using it for some time.
Thanks
