You named some Beaver county natives. Is that where you are from?
Marty Schottenheimer grew up on a farm about a half mile away. He helped my grandfather put up hay. Marvin Lewis was from a town 3 miles away. I don't think he has been back around here in years. Probably has something to do with all the Steeler fans.
The farm the Schottenheimers had is now a dilapidated junk yard.
Barry Alvarez grew up here, too. In fact, I graduated high school with his nephew, ate dinner at his sisters house many times. A real great family.
That's the sports end of things.
For music, We claim Jay Livingston, Bobby Vinton, Perry Como, The Four Coins, Buddy Sharpe and the Shakers, and The Vogues. For what they now claim to be music, but I don't agree that it is... We have Christina Aguilera, and Whiz Kahlifa... There are more, but that's all I can think of right now, from my immediate area. The Vogues were actually from Turtle Creek, but now some members of the band live in my area. One of which was my high school marching band director. Their tour bus used to sit not far from my house at a trucking company.
And of course, being in Washington County, PA, there are the obvious famous people who called this place home back in the days of the American Revolution. George Washington owned a couple thousand acres not far from here. he wanted to retire to that farm. There is a historic marker placed not far from here on the property. My great great great great grandfather bought this farm from a land survey done by a friend of George Washington, William Crawford.
I think my g-g-g-g-grandfather paid 20 pounds English for the farm, and it was the first deed recorded in what was then Westmoreland County, May 10th 1775. It didn't become Washington County until after the revolutionary war and him becoming president and all that.
Then there are all the historically famous people from here that are associated with the Whiskey Rebellion and other matters of the early days of this country.
