Paulina.... the same company (Tim Young Productions) produced the Fontaine Ferry video. If I remember the ones they had on sale at Borders, there was: Fontaine Ferry Fourth Street The 1937 Flood The Portland District I think there was one for Old Louisville, too, but I can't remember. I have the 1937 Flood video, as well as the Fontaine Ferry video. As best I remember, and it's been a couple of years since I got the 1937 Flood video, they were only available on VHS. They may have started putting them on DVD since my purchase, but not sure.

I'm not from Kentucky but my mom is. I just wanted to say that I think that it's very nice of the moderator to let the discussions continue for everyone to enjoy. I belong to another list and this had happened also (memories). The list moderator admonished everyone and actually put people on suspension until they "cleaned up their act" and got back to genealogy so they took it one step further and established their own list for the memories! Great idea for them, huh? (I was one of them kicked off of the list) _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.

I have also picked up some clues on my husbands family and heard from a couple of people who might be connected. It's been very worthwhile and entertaining. I have only been to the area once but I sure feel like I know it now. Paulina

Dear Bill, About those X-Ray machines--you hit the nail on the head. It makes me shiver to think what kind of damage might have been caused. My uncle, Albert Williams, of Anchorage, KY, was an oral surgeon. He claims to have brought the first X-ray machine across the mountains into KY and beyond. He was a pioneer in the business...and sterile. He thought it was a result of his exposure to X-rays.

The bottom line in the story was that there is some concern that the X-rays MAY have had a negative impact on the body parts exposed. I have not seen any followup information, but I'm sure a SEARCH would uncover something. For me personally, I feel the X-rays prevented me from becoming rich and famous, and dating Jill St. John.

Sears did buy out Adlers. They asked some of the men if they would like to transfer as heads of departments to their new plant in Jackson, MS, MS Products, Inc, which would be building furniture to sell in Sears stores. Some of the men were: Percy Whitty, Jack Radcliff (sp?), Jack Turner, George Huth, Mr. Kelty, Mr. Ostrander and maybe Charlie Adams. Sandi

I was a musician during the late 50's thrugh the mid 1970's. I can remember occasionally seeing an Adler piano in some of the dives we played. They were generally pretty well shot, and any piano we saw was out of tune. I'm not a pianist but got the impression that Adler's were not in a class with Steinway or even a Baldwin. Walker K.

My great-grandfather, Henry Sanderfer, worked for the Adler Company. Indeed, they did make pianos. At a later date it was my understanding that the company was bought out by Sears. Beverly

I think the Bryant's Station in this article is in Lexington, not Louisville. Cheers, Laura

Yes, I forgot Sears was in the Vogue strip center. Woolworth's too. It always smelled good at Woolworth's because of the warm cashews. I always got a pinwheel when we went there. Cheers, Laura

Wasn't there a Maxwell Bookstore in the Mall in St. Matthews when it first opened in the early 60's? Cheers, Laura

And do we remember what stores had these magical devices? I recall there was one at Bach's (childrens shoes and clothing) on the South side of Chestnut between 3rd & 4th, next to the Strand Theater, and maybe there was one at Kaufmann's. Probably were all over town. I too have wondered what happened that I did not become wealthy, famous and good looking, not to mention Jill St. John.

There is a wonderful video, entitled "Fourth Street, Louisville's Street of Yesterday" available that will have you in tears, if you knew it in the "old days". I have bought copies on eBay for as little as $5, but when I lend them to family members, I never seem to get them back. I was recently back home, and bought a new one at Borders for $25 (NOTE: Louis Borders, the original founder, graduated from St. X in '66). Anyhoooo, the cover states that additional copies may be secured from Tim Young Productions, PO Box 22134, Louisville 40252, for $19.95 + S&H.

Your memories of Mario's are better than mine. They had many locations, but their pizza crust was pre-prepared and came frozen. Don't believe it would stand up to todays standards. I worked at one of them in the 70's. I will give them credit though, they were the first to have free delivery in Louisville/Jefferson Co. Do you remember the Sears Roebuck store that was located beside the Vogue Theater in St. Matthews?? I've got an old window fan that my grandmother bought there in the early 50's and it still works fine. It's about 30" wide and 24" tall and must weight 75 pounds. Just need to replace the fan belt every 40 years or so. Use it in the garage now, since I've got that new fangled AC now. Glenn

I too remember Joe Z's. Was there the night it burned in the early 1960's. Never reopened after that. Glenn

Tom: I believe this location became Miller's Cafeteria in the late 40's up till the early 70's. Glenn

Just Resthaven, there's not a "Restheaven". Located on Bardstown Road, US 31E south of I-264 and North of I-265 in the Buechel Area. Glenn

As far as military factories there were many. There also were over a dozen mattress factories in Louisville then. There are still 3 mattress factories today that I know of. Glenn
