My previous husband was from Kansas, and when we first visited his family, we went thru a town 10 straight miles away from where he was raised; the only other Belpre, as far as I know, in the U.S. What an omen!
Funny story about glbutt -- one year we went to Stubenville, Ohio to see some Stubenville glbutt. The more people we asked, the more that it became an amusing survey on our part. No one -- and I mean, no one -- we asked had ever heard of Stubenville glbutt. We weren't interested in buying, just kind of a sight-seeing kind of trip. Actually I prefer Murano glbutt, but Stubenville is 'our' history.
I had a fascination with Blennerhbuttet Island when I was a child. Our home was about a mile north Hwy 50 (Rt. 339) and the end of Blennerhbuttet was at the tip 50 & 339. My mother used to swim across the Ohio river at about about that point. The island was totally overgrown and (full of copperheads or water moccasins?) and had sort of an eery off-limits feel to it. You sort of closed your mind to any real thoughts of what had gone on there. Later on when they built it for the tourists, I never had any inclination to go there. I have the same fascination for Harper's Ferry - but my husband nor anyone I've ever spoken about it with has the same feeling.
So much for this. Others will tell me to take it to OT. However, it is "A Blast from the Past." Dee Dee, Buckeye & Hillbilly
