Good afternoon, listmembers, I am bringing you all a unique announcement that local members may wish to avail themselves of. The Centre County Genealogical Society, of which I am a member, is hosting a program by Dr. Gerald Eggert on Thursday, May 4th, at 7:30 p.m. at the LDS Family History Center, 842 Whitehall Road, State College, Pennsylvania. The subject deals with Dr. Eggert's new book, "Making Iron on the Bald Eagle." I have personally looked through this book and find it a fascinating and documented account of the personal, family, and work life of the employers and employees at the Curtin Iron Works in the 19th century. I am certain the topic will prove of interest to many. Please inform interested parties of this. A lot of Beech Creek-Bald Eagle Twp. residents had origins and kin throughout the rest of Bald Eagle Valley, which includes the Curtin area. I hope to see some of you at the meeting!
