RE: How to throw a cylinder on the potter's wheel ! - by Simon Leach

in #wheel8 years ago

My uncle John owned a place on RT 97 in Barryville across from the firehouse. He died in the 70s but I loved going to Barryville and up to Eldred where my ancestors were from. Beautiful area!! I have also been near your neck of the woods in PA. Small world!

Oh wow you know Barryville ! Yes that's where i landed when I dropped into the US ! Spent a year there and shopped up at Peck's !

I grew up in Port Jervis, but spent a lot of time in Barryville and Eldred. My mom's side of the family were from Eldred, at least all the way back to the early 1800s. How did you wind up in Barryville? Wish I could move back there, I miss the mountains, rivers, brooks and the woods. Spent a lot of time walking through the woods between Eldred and Barryville when I was a kid. Loved it!!
