At the Vet


Today we have a photo submitted by Frank Carney of Lansdale, who is “revisiting” 1972.

We’ll let him explain:

“Here is a photo of my brothers and I with friends from 1972, during Lansdale’s Centennial celebration.

“Lansdale had a few buses going to a Phillies Game and we all dressed up, as we were told, “like olden times.”

“The year of 1972 featured a summer — and year — of great activities, fun and lots of memories for Lansdale.

“We all had a great time on the buses and at the game, but I can’t remember if the Fighting Phils won that day. It didn’t matter, as the day still brings back smiles and good memories.

“In the photo, you see in the front row, kneeling, Pete Signore, Frank Carney (me), Jay Strunk.

“Back row, Dennis Carney, Rob Eberle, Mark O’Brian, Frank Carr, Jack Carney and Greg O’Brian.

“I’m not sure who took the photo, but Rob Eberle was kind enough to share it with us recently and to great amusement.

“I wanted to note that I also was proud to have been a paperboy for The North Penn Reporter back in the day.”

Thanks, Frank, for the great photo and story — and for helping us out “back in the day” as a paperboy!
