This site is dedicated to the people of New Kensington and the areas surrounding New Kensington. This is for those people who want to post memories (printed or photos) of the town and it's people. I was born in New Kensington (Ridge Avenue), and will never forget those wonderful times. I attended the third Ward Elementary School and seventh grade at Ken High, then my family moved to Springdale.  
       I can still see the gym, the class rooms and the walks to and from school as if it were yesterday. My friends and I were Downtown at the movies, watching Buck Privates with Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. It was Sunday, my Dad picked us up after the movie because it was dark. It got dark early in December. He gave us the news on the way home. It was December 7th 1941.
        I will post some photos that I have, but this is for you, so don't hesitate to email me. I will post any written comments that you would like to submit. If you have photos, I prefer that you have them scanned and email them to me in a jpg format. However if there is no scanner available, send them by post with a self addressed stamped envelope and I will scan them, then return them to you. Welcome, New Kensington. - Sam Younghans
