Ray, Hope this gets through to you. My computer and I don't speak the same language so I never know what is going to happen. Please let me know if you receive these photos and information.

I spent the holidays going through my Mother's scrapbooks and my Dad's photos. I thought I would start with Lindley Mine. My Dad worked there in the '30's and left in '41.

The guy with the hat is Charles Cassidy. He was a mechanic at Lindley. The next photo is of the 1940 Lindley

Safety Team at a competition in Uniontown(8/24/40). The photo of the 3 guys and a car, My dad is on the left, Ed Murrary is in the middle and I believe the other man is Howard McCabe. Ed and Howard were Clerks at Lindley.

The fourth photo is at Lindley, but I could not identify any of them.

Sam K. Hissom. He worked at Lindley, Midland, Westland, Montour 4, Library, Banning 1, Mathies and the Cleaning Plant. Tell me where I can send this information. I also worked at Westland and Mathies.

Robert D. Hissom
