  1. My dad was born there in 1915, but I haven't been back in decades.

    My memories are that it was a beautiful place.

    My great grandfather sold Packards and Auburns there, and Dad used to tell the story of going to Erie to pick up a new Packard touring car with Grandpa, and riding back to Bradford through the Allegheny National Forest during a forest fire.  The top burned off over their heads!

    Dad got his first job at Taylor Aircraft there, before it was bought by Piper.  He hauled partially completed airframes out of the factory as it was burning down.  They moved the plant to Johnstown after that.
