    Hello, I received my Bachelor's degree in History from Cedarville University in Ohio and I taught out of state in West Virginia and Florida for four years.  I also worked in telecommunications for 4 years.  My grandfather and great uncle went to Saltsburg High School in the 1940's.  My grandfather still talks about the 1935 flood!  As a result of that flood the local dams were built to prevent flooding.
