  1. All right! Some history from the 70s! That’s 50 years ago and counts as history. I look forward to more pictures from the 70s, after the recovery.

  2. I was there , What a mess. I seemed after the flood that Corning started to grow.

    The rebuild seem to start a Renaissance of sort, as much as the city of corning could.

  3. Thank you for doing what you do. I enjoy reading your weekly emails so much & seeing all the pictures of so many years ago. I do have a question for you. My dad was a pilot during WW!!. When he returned from war, he was living in Painted Post. Upon his return there was a parade for him in Painted Post. Do you think there would be an article somewhere that I could read about him? It was either 1943 or 1944, His name was !st Lieutenant Raymond W. Manning. No sure if you can help me. I just thought I would begin my search asking you. Any help you can give me would be so much appreciated. Thank you Mary Manning

    • Hi, thanks for your kind words. I’d be happy to take a look and see if I can find an article in The Corning Leader featuring the parade that honored your father. Do you have any idea as to the time of year the parade was held? I can spend some time searching, without a date or time of year though – it may take a while. Have a great day, Linda Reimer, SSCL

      • His las mission was March 29, 1944. He returned back to the States soon after that.

        As far as I know the parade was held not long after that.

        Thank you for your help. So much appreciated.

      • I am not sure if I sent my reply correctly or not. Just in case I am replying to your email. My dad’s last mission was March 29, 1944. He returned to the states soon after that. As far as I know the parade in Painted Post was held not long after that. Thank you for all your help. It is so much appreciated.
