A Reminiscing "Stan the Man" Day - Day 31

The temperatures are slowing coming down as I get closer and closer to home, low temperature read 74F with the high coming in at 87F.  This was the first day in awhile that the thermometer didn't read at least 90F.  There were a few more clouds today then the previous few days also, but no rains came.  Gasoline purchased were two once again, one at $3.659/gallon and another at $3.799/gallon.  Today was a real special day for me as I decided to revisit Donora, Pennsylvania.  My previous visit here was to find the boyhood home of Stan Musial.  While trying to confirm where his home was, I met upon a couple that identified themselves as friends of Stan Musial, in fact she identified that her Aunt was Stan's Godmother.  She also said that Stan's boyhood home no longer existed.  As a result I am going to update my Papadave III blog to correct the error that I identified as his boyhood home.  This couple were just so warm and friendly, I didn't want to leave as I enjoyed their company so much!  A big Thank You goes out to them.
Tomorrow my plans include to revisit Horseshoe Curve as it was snowing on my previous visit, if one remembers.
Home is is sight!
