2003 MailMore Harrisburg MemoriesFrom Byron M. Jackson, August 12, 2003 Harrisburg Industrializes also has a short section on Dr. William Howard Day, after whom the William Howard Day Housing Project was named. Dr. Day (the Dr. reference is an honorary doctor of divinity degree from Livingston College) came to Harrisburg as a school teacher in 1872. My sister, Gail Quarles, made reference to the Joe the Motorist's Friend store on Third and Verbeke Streets in Harrisburg. It was always one of my favorite places in Harrisburg (as well as the hotdog stand at the Third Street Market) because they always featured a large Lionel trains display and stock at their store. I went to Hamilton Elementary School, Camp Curtin Junior High School, and graduated from William Penn High School in 1965. We lived uptown on Fifth Street after spending our first years as a family of 4 in the William Howard Day Projects. I enjoy your website from afar. I am a political science professor at California State University, Chico in Northern California and have been a faculty member here since 1974. |
