A few CVRR pictures and some other related pictures....

So many excellent looking people at the Tressler. One can only hope they each were blessed with meaningful, happy lives.

And It is difficult to even imagine why anybody would have given each of them up , as babies or as children , to being orphans and being adopted (hopefully so.)

Isn't Pennsylvania's death-row located at Rockview? Not even sure if Pennsylvania has capital punishment anymore...

No idea anymore......

Pa. still has the death penalty, but it has been used in years. Lesko and Travaglia have been on death row for nearly 40 years. Four governors have signed their death warrants, but the appeals never end, costing untold amounts of money. One of them, I forget which, has already died in prison. They were involved in the infamous "Kill for Thrill" spree where Apollo, Pa. police officer Leonard Miller was baited into chasing them and pulling them over, then they killed him, and then 3 others lost their lives to them too. Apollo is about 11 miles from Freeport. Might as well sentence them to life with no chance of parole and save millions in attorney's fees. And yes, it is at Rockview.

Sadly, Mitch, I can't even tell you what the status is here in Maryland...I suspect capital punishment has been eliminated from the sentencing guidelines, or there's an injunction or something preventing it from being handed down. I never felt it was much of a deterrent, but always felt there were a few folks that outright deserved it. Probably in the minority on that...

Guessing this has been posted here before:



Haven't been to Chambersburg in a while...I wonder if the office building remains standing?

Don't know if it stands but I kind of doubt it. Posted several different views of it in B&W from Laughlin cards in the past - think there are at least two different views of the colorized derivative cards

Imagine having a scene like that - the entire place; every detail (though I'd likely have the figures doing something other than posing) and nuance - on a layout. I'm not sure if very young people would pay it even a short glance, but us older folks would find it charming, I am certain.

Lots going on in that photo - details! That one pole has an interesting extension on it to add a high crossbar -- I have to wonder why? Either way, it's something that can be added to one's scenery.

Would those three lower crossbars be for electricity and that higher one be for the telegraph?

Possibly. Just never seen a pole extended in that way before -- something to include in a model scene someday.

Dare I say the topmost wires are AC, and the remaining wires lower are telephone. Assumption!
