Robert Freeman wrote to me and the list the following - I'm keeping them together for continuities' sake. I couldn't remember Mike Bresch's name to save my neck. Your Grandfather belonged to the Cousin St. Methodist Episcopal Church North. I remember him making the coffee at enough church covered dinners to fill the Mon from McKeesport to New Orleans. He said his secret to making good coffee was two dashes of salt and a bare pinch of cinnamon. Your grandfather gave me my first job - helping him teach the swimming lessons and then spreading the lime to make the lines for 50 yd. dashes etc. for a picnic's games. He was a great teacher both at Rainbow and at the YMCA. If I remember right - both your grandfather and Mike worked together at the old National Tube Plant. In fact the pool was popular and you'd see an ebb and flow in the number of men in the pool depending on who was working 3-11 or the 4-12 shifts. One group would leave to go to work and about an hour later the other group would start arriving. My Uncle Earl Stauffer worked at Rainbow for years as an electrician. I got a Social Security Statement the other day - my first summer of working at Rainbow (with the old work permits) I made $51.00 for the year. I think that Ray Volpe was Joe's son not brother. While we're at it don't forget the roller rink and the picnic pavilion's surrounded by elm trees. I do remember the flood all to well - was out of work for awhile. It makes me laugh I also remember a few times when the employee's taking a tip from our environment tried to organize a union for higher wages. Also at the pool they'd announce the buses leaving for different areas at the end of an afternoon. Buses leaving for Shaner, Coulter, Irvin, Dawson - etc. I don't remember all the little towns that bussed kids to Rainbow Gardens Pool - but it was frequently crowded. Marc You certainly brought back memories of Rainbow. I spent many summers there hanging out and sometimes helping out Ray Volpe with the park's maintenance for 50 cents a day! My grandfather Tom Arthurs worked at Rainbow up until the pool closed and he was in eighties!  His house was on Craig St and I recall one day when he said, since the bus had not appeared on Versailles Ave, that we would walk to Foster Rd. After getting to Foster Rd. he then decided to walk the rest of the way to Rainbow. By the time we arrived he ran 3 swim classes and then after lunch he ran a picnic for the Lions Club. Tom was in his seventies and in better shape than I was at 13! I remember the flood when the creek overflowed and all the concession stands had to be cleaned before the park opened. Doc " Buck" Mason was also a park manager when Ed Kittico was not available. Many faces without names come to mind including the many lifeguards who were mostly college students. Mike Bresch worked with Tom for many years before he died. Tom would always laugh when some described  Mike as the older of the two yet Tom was almost 15 years Mike's senior! Ray Volpe, Joe's brother, had a house behind the drive-in where you could see all the movies with sound. I think the drive-in lasted a bit longer than the pool but since I never lived in the area I don't remember. I also heard the Volpe Brothers story, wasn't it also mentioned on the Robert Stack TV show The Untouchables?
