Wine Cellar Project Begins

Click on Pics to Enlarge

As I have mentioned to some, in the 1950's a bomb/fall-out shelter was built in an area toward the back of my property. It was built out 12" thick re-enforced concrete. It measures about 12' x 16', is nine feet high and the top of the shelter is about 4 feet below ground level.

I plan to build a structure over it and convert the below ground shelter into a wine cellar.

The above three pictures show the initial stage of site prep, layout and excavation.

The entrance, a 14 step stairwell, that was constructed to access the below ground shelter can be seen in the pictures.


The two 4 inch galvanized pipes seen extending up from the ground surface are apart of a hand cranked air filtering system. .

Hi, Dick. Our class of 1957 50th reunion is being handled by Tom and Carole Burrows.

The grand event will be held on Saturday, August 25, 2007 at the Rolling Hills Country Club at 455 East McMurray Road in McMurray, PA. The reception will begin at 5:30 p.m., Dinner is 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. -- and the party begins right after dinner until everyone goes home! About 60 classmates are signed on already.

If interested in attending and for dinner prices, please call Tom or Carole Burrows at 724-941-2427 or tpburrows@comcast.net

I did see "Stogie" Broglia at our 45th class reunion. He looked very good -- still handsome and very fit, did you know him? The last address I have for him is 107 Williams Drive, McDonald, PA 15057.

I'm going to tell my classmates Estelle and Nelson Porter, Dottie Kokalis Zikos , Tom and Carole Burrows and Rosemarie and Frank Sluciak about your blog. If they contact you, you'll know they were recommended.

I told Tom and Carole that if they wanted to give me all the details on the reunion, I would be happy to post it for them.

Until again, stay well.

Canonsburg Blog Sign-On

Hi Dick. I am doing as you indicated by using email to get a posting on to the Canonsburg Friends Blog:

I appear in the 1957 Yearbook pictures displayed below. I was VERY pleased to see my picture. Since that photo was taken, my cousin Xanthipe Scoumis and Sonny Scovotti, shown on the same page, have died. And to those who knew people from the class of '57, my good friend Marlene Richards Callabro has also passed away.

This September, we will be celebrating our 50th class reunion. I will post more information as time goes on. Thank you for this wonderful site -- this marvelous trip back to some good old days.
