Message: [QUOTE="Jingo, post: 3711991, member: 7136"] I was at Allegheny College from 1960-65 with a short stint [1963] working in the West Texas oil fields [Lubbock] .. at Allegheny, I spent a lot of time at Conneaut Lake, Sonny's Bar [downtown] & George's Bar [up on the hill]! haha .. after college I moved back to Queens with my Allegheny wife and had two daughters .. yes, Allegheny, a beautiful, idyllic campus anchored by Bentley Hall [1815]. Famous Allegheny alumna Ida Tarbell, THE pioneer of investigative journalism in the United States, dismantled the Standard Oil monopoly of John D Rockefeller in the early 1900s. Her 'muckraking' style inspired me to write several novels in my Gotham Chronicles series: 1) Quagmire in Queens 2) Brouhaha in Brooklyn and 3) Mayhem in Manhattan. Go Gators! [/QUOTE]
