For the person who inquired about Phillip Murray's house location. Mr Murray lived on Berkshire Ave and yes, the house is still there. We used to play in his yard at night and never was chased away. Yes, he went to Resurrection Church.

I'm doing family genealogy and would like to know if Brookline High school yearbooks are available anywhere? I'm specifically looking for 1956-1958.
I'd appreciate your help,
thanks,

I just love this site ... Thank You ... I grew up here and lived the first 8 years of my life at 930 Brookline Blvd. My little girl friends were also family friends growing up on the BLVD.
They were the Sal Bondi family (Agnes Bondi) Michele Capuano, Joann Garofalo (the Garofalos owned a shoe repair store AND I think a tailors ...Delphine Swellbar ..her daddy owned newsy's ..:)
We as little girls would play house and walk our doll carriages up and down the Blvd. We played in all the apartment doorways and were watched over by all the daddy's who worked there. Mr Swellbar would let us have penny candy at newsy's and I didn't find out until later that my daddy would pay the account off every week ...He was a presser and tailor and worked all over the city of pittsburgh. In my earliest remembrance's he rode the streetcars to and from work ...wow so nostalgic ...We all went to "ressi" ..and then I went to Seton. memories thank you ..

I recall that Philip Murray, the late president of the United Steel Workers union was a resident of Brookline, where my family also lived from 1949 until 1960. My mom pointed him out once when he was walking on the Boulevard. Mr. Murray, who attended the Church of the Resurrection, passed away in 1952. Does anybody know which street he lived on & if his home is still standing?

I was born in South side Hospital in 1965, I lived in Dormont for a little while, can't remember how long, then moved to Chelton Avenue. When I was 11, my parents moved to Dayton Ohio. But I'll alaways be a Pittsburgher. Went to Carmalt Elementary School. My kindergarten teacher was Mrs. Zimmerman. I'm a Pittsburgh Steelers fan and always will be.
