Maryellen Young said...: I grew up in Clifton Heights also and this was my church. The full name is St. Charles Borromeo Church. It is located on Dennison Avenue, in Oakview, Drexel Hill, PA.
The people in Clifton referred to the area as "Kellyville". I have enjoyed looking through your photos and reminiscing. I remember Johhny Mickens (that is the name I knew him by) -- Clifton Heights Police Chief very well. He used to stand on the corner and help us cross the street as we walked to St. Charles School from Clifton. My name is Maryellen Manley Young; August 25, 2009 at 1:27 PM

"To forget one's ancestors is to be a brook without a source, a tree without a root."

~Chinese proverb~

„To co weszł‚o w zwyczaj niech zwyczajem zostanie, a to, co było, coś›my od ojców zasłyszeli, lub sami jeszcze widzieli, przekażmy tym, co po nas przyjdą pomni, że gdzie była przeszł‚ość, tam i przyszł‚ość‡ bę™dzie…” – Leon Potocki 1854 r.
"What has become a habit let it remain a habit, and this, what was, what we heard from our fathers, or we have seen already by ourselves, pass to those who will come after us; remembering that where the past was, there, also, the future will be..." – Leon Potocki 1854.
