No I did not grow up in Providence and I did not know anyone by that name. I did go to North Scranton, which was then a Junior High School grades 7-10. That would have been from 1963 to 1967. I lived in Tripp Park until I was 9, and then we moved to Green Ridge. After college I moved to East Scranton and lived there until about 7 years ago, when we moved to Dunmore. Love Scranton. Hate their wage tax. Tom Price
