Hello,
I was raised in Greenville many years ago. I enjoyed looking at your
web page. My sister, Judy Pinkle-Barron and I, Mary Jane Pinkle-Jost
now live in Las Vegas, NV. Joe Pinkle was our brother. We have been
trying to get in touch with his friend, Tom Stroller, who served
with Joe on the Greenville Police Dept., before Joe died. If you have
any information about Tom, please, send it to janejost@yahoo.com or
Judy's e-mail, jubar50@yahoo.com. Thank you again for taking the
time to produce a great web site. Sincerely, Jane Jost

I tremdously enjoyed your website. Born/raised in Greenville, now living in Las Vegas, it
was great to walk down memory lane through the photos. Suggestion: you might want to add
more current overview photos of the town/schools. For example, a photo of the town square
or some of the victorian style buildings would look great on the site. Keep up the good
work.

Hey Artie!
I found your website while I was doing a search for Reynolds High
School. This is great for those of us who are far away, and have
lived out of the area for a long time. I left in 1976 and haven't
been back since 1988, but have many fond memories and am looking
forward to visiting again soon. Thanks for all your hard work.

Hello to everyone,
I moved from Greenville in May 2000 and now Denny and I live in Charlotte, NC. I wanted to
research an article from the Record Argus and found the web site. This is great. Denny and
I graduated in 1966. After going back to college REALLY late in life to get a degree in
accounting, I now work for Hendrick Automotive Group. Any race fans will know who that is.

Just going through the new improved site and had to say how great it is. I really think

Yes it's a small boring town to most but atleast it's basicly a safe town.

Well.....it's so nice to see my hometown on the web. I have lived in Pittsburgh for ten

read the guest book entries and see so many familiar names and stories from those who also
wish to be back. People down here just don't understand the small town feeling. Nobody
knows anyone around here....I sure do miss that....
Nice website...keep up the good work.

Im not an old bitty either ..lol

Hear it is nice by the signatues of other guests and former residents. Hope it is nothing
like many of the other cities and people of Mercer County. We're from the Southwest and
have encountered nothing but rudeness, small-town mindedness, and a better than thou
attitude from folks. My husband and I both have lived in small towns at one time or the
other and know crooked little places when we see them. We are terribly diappointed in the
treatment we have received by the surrounding cities and a few people we've had the
displeasure of meeting who are from Greenville. As a native Southwesterner with ancestral
ties in the northwestern parts of PA I'm not sure I'd ever think of living there or
visiting again. If Greenville is so great (which it may be to those that have good
memories) why'd ya leave?

At the risk of making this guest book a
sounding board, I feel I must reply to the lady that had bad experiences with people of
Mercer County and Greenville in particular....
I am deeply sorry that you feel the people of Mercer County and those you met from
Greenville were less than hospitable. We consider ourselves to be friendly and
welcoming for the most part. Greenville and all small towns have their faults.
Unfortunately you will always find those few who manage to make us all look bad. I
can't help, however, feeling that there is a bit of the "pot calling the kettle
black" going on here, when you have made a blanket accusation that the people
of Mercer County are "rude and "small-town minded". It seems mighty
small-minded to me for someone to more or less accuse an entire town of these traits, when
by your own admission, you were displeased to meet only a few of our citizens.
Greenville isn't perfect. It's a small town, with small town ideals. It's
friendly, warm and inviting. I know, because I am a native and proud of it. In
answer to your question about why people have moved away if it is such a great
town...well, life doesn't always allow for doing or being where you want to does it?
I no longer live in Greenville myself. I left to go to college and circumstances
prevented me from coming back. But rest assured, the minute I can, I'll be there, and the
town will welcome me, just like it does everyone else.
Comments:
This is also to the lady with the bad experiences with people
in our area.
You ask why if Greenville is so wonderful why people have left? Because of lack of
jobs! Trinity Industries, also known as Greenville Steel Car in the past is for the
most part all closed down. They were one of the biggest employers in Greenville.
However, even if there is a depressed job market, it is a great place to raise your
kids and that it one of the reasons I have lived here for 20 years!
I consider the citizens of our town to be, for the most part, polite, friendly, and
more than willing to lend a helping hand. So please don't judge all of us on a few
that have been rude to you.

It's the beginning of the Christmas season and I have such
special memories of Christmas in Greenville. The town was always decorated so nicely --
remember Santa's house in the square, and the big candy cane and teddy bear statues? I
still remember the "Grand March" at the skating rink and that roaring fire in
the fireplace. Is there a town left in America like that? Thanks, Art, for keeping the
memories alive.

First time visit to your web site. I am surprised that the
Greenville Airport is not listed as a community asset. As the operator of the airport, I
can tell you that many people and companies use the airport for business and pleasure.

As one who was raised in Greenville, I'll attest to the
hospitality of her native citizens. My career has dragged me through Pittsburgh (twice!),
NYC, and now Cincinnati. But while it pains me to say it, I will always know Greenville as
my home.
Although I visit once or twice a year, the recently added
photos on this site made me just a little homesick.
Thanks for being there, Greenville.

Hellow fellow and former greenville-ites. I have been here in Los Angeles
California for the past few years now, and you know something? Nothing and I mean nothing
compares to small towns in the USA. the property values out here have skyrocketed
immemsely, and am considering a major move back east..I have to realize that an $8 an hour
job as a security guard here for the Santa Monica pier isnt going to buy me a $250,000
home, but it will buy me one for a fraction of that back there. I was disappointed to hear
about the closing of Bi lo and Quality Farm and Fleet. Im hoping that before I do move
back something can be done to bring Trinity industries back or at least something, High
paying jobs come from other high paying jobs

Anyone who gripes about people in Greenville not being
friendly or helpful is GROSSLY UNINFORMED! Just the other day I sent a note to Art, boring
him with details of my trip back to the "land of my ancestor's." I remember
Greenville from trips in my youth, going to my cousin Ann Bassick's wedding around 1956,
family reunions in the summer at Uncle John and Aunt Lillian's big green house on the
hill, tasty limburger and purple onion sandwiches on rye with seeds, sneaking a cup of
beer from the tap during a baseball game with the cousins.....what warm memories! What a
beautiful, green, rolling countryside, with so many friendly relatives and friends! I
remember friendly, down-to-earth town-folk's, neighbors of Uncle John and Aunt Lillian, coming over to have a beer and play horse-shoes during the
picnic.....pitching my first shoe, which landed against the stake, and my Uncle John
shouting at me, "Hey, Billy, you got a good pitching arm!" Boy, that felt good!
I remember camping on the porch with sleeping bags,exchanging scary stories with the
cousins untill the wee hours. I remember my dad and Uncle John exchanging work stories,
comparing Erie Forge and Steel in our hometown, Erie, where dad worked, with the train-car
factory in Greenville where Uncle John worked. Every time you could count on Uncle John
topping dad's stories! We didn't go to Greenville more than once a year, but those were
really precious times! As we got older, for reasons I still don't understand, we stopped
getting together. But the memories are still there. The last time I saw Aunt Lillian and
Uncle John was at my wedding in Erie, in 1969. My work kept me traveling all over God's
green earth untill I retired a couple year's ago. Now, finally, I have time to go back to
Greenville, to revisit the place of happy memories, the place where dad was born, the
place where dad also had happy memories. I hope that I can find some of the cousins. I
wonder what they remember.
Comments:
Tonight the phone rang. It was Art. And it was his dime,
spent on calling me after reading my first note. I never talked to Art before, but by the
end of our conversation he felt like a relative! Art asked me about my family, said he
would help me contact them or possibly find somebody who knew them. Then he said he had
already posted my first note on the Greenville web-site for someone who might know
somebody to be able to get in touch with me. WHAT A GUY! Thank's, Art! I hope that my
relatives, if I find them, are as considerate as this "perfect" stranger! God
bless you, people of Greenville! I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible when
I visit in July. That is, if I'm not imposing. Then again, you're roots and my roots are
growing in the same soil!
