Hi All, I'd like to say a big thank you to all that participated in the discussions about the Moses Taylor Hospital, the Lackawanna Steel Company and the Perry Projects. I can't believe the amount of information and number of new websites that were shared. This is one of those times that I know why I preach about how much good information comes from strangers on mail lists. Sometimes we don't even feel like strangers in the end. Thanks for all your time and hunting. My family history will be so much more colourful now. Val

I just had an interesting dinner conversation with one of my good friends that worked at the steel plant for about 25 years. I mentioned the hospital and he said they performed surgeries and set many a broken bone in that place. They had a doctor who was a famous bone and hand specialist doctor that came in twice a week just to operate.He was suppose to be one of the best in the U.S. Then he went on to sports figures after the plant dwindled down. He thought his name was something like Jobe. Said he saved his crushed finger that the other doctors wanted to amputate. Eventually thats where they set up all the drug and hearing tests. When it closed, they still had a small clinic in the plant, but nothing like the hospital. He only had good things to say about it. Incidently, my grandmother lived in the Perry Projects in the 60's. I didn't like to go visit her back then. I can still remember waiting for the bus to go downtown and the locals making comments as they went by. I was real glad when the bus came and even happier when she moved.
