I received an email this morning from a young lady only asking that I post AJK is loved and missed… a young man from West Kittanning died of a drug overdose earlier this month and, seemingly, might have been saved by friends if they had made the right choices and taken the right actions.
As I’ve heard many times in recent past years, “Drugs Kill Dreams” and now this young lady will not have her friend in her future, just memories of him.
R.I.P. A.J.K. Your untimely passing may save one or more of your friends. God be with you.
“We do not have problems and frustrations, we have challenges and opportunities.”
Former Applewold resident Burton Apple can’t attend his class reunion in Kittanning tomorrow but has recently been contacted by classmates via email and that has started the “Way Back Machine” – Burton’s memories of Kittanning many years ago.
So many memories, so little time to share them all.
Speaking of memories, the quote at the beginning of the post was spoken by a General while Burton was serving in the United States Air Force. If anyone knows who or where, please let us know so we can give credit.
Burton, thanks for your call this morning. I enjoyed it – a lot!
Although there hasn’t been as much traffic on KDC since we took down the Message Board, it’s a lot easier to get rid of the bad stuff. Anyone out there? If you try to post and it doesn’t work for any reason, please send me an email – c a r l @ k i t t a n n i n g . c o m.
Twelve more spam comments deleted and thanks to Jill and Buss for checking in recently.
Buss, nice of you to drop a line. I am looking for guest contributors and moderators for this new version of KDC. Check it out a little and give me feedback, ok?
Using an ever-more-popular content management system (CMS), we are trying to allow more visitors to contribute to the site without the chaos of past years. The Walking Tour, Message Board archives, Comments from afar… all are available, it just takes time to weave them into the new fabric.
Anyone have WordPress experience? Blogging? Comment below a little bit about your ties to Kittanning and, if it applies, how you would like to help.
Kittanning events: Post your details here on my zip-code-sorted Local4All website – links are welcome if you already have details online. Find local events here.
Thanks!
Carl

Welcome to Kittanning.com. The links below will lead you to two of the site favorites but, unfortunately, not the Message Board. We do have some of the messages archived and will bring them back as our workload allows.

Another passion of this Kittanning guy is the Local4All website where, in years past, you could add events to a local calendar, upload photos, and more. We’re hoping it makes a comeback soon.
