Getting my historic shipwreck fix in Asbury Park

On June 21, 1877, six men were brought into the yard at the Schuylkill County prison to face their doom. All six were hanged for being “Molly Maguires” after a controversial trial that featured circumstantial evidence, dubious informants, and the testimony of a Pinkerton detective. For the full story of what happened in Pottsville that fateful day, click the link in my profile. (Four additional “Molly Maguires” were executed the same day in Mauch Chunk) #CoalRegion #Pennsylvania #SchuylkillCounty #Pottsville #AmericanHistory

Wishing a Happy Father’s Day to this incredible guy

Very excited to see one of my favorite #WW2 aircraft at the air show in Reading. I always enjoyed reading about the B-24 Liberator and their crews. Fantastic to see it roar by us during the show.
