Time out for a factoid ...

In 1957, Pottsville native John O'Hara won the National Book Award for Ten North Frederick. Four years later, the National Book Award was given to Conrad Richter for The Waters of Kronos (an excellent book, by the way). Richter grew up about a 20-minute drive from Pottsville, in Pine Grove.

    Hi Melville,
    I reviewed The Waters of Kronos when PennState reissued it a couple of years ago. Send me your e-mail address at fwilson@phillynews.com and I'll send you the review. It's a magical book.
