Eleanor Kisha Donovan sent in this newspaper clipping. Her father Stephen Kisha is second from the right.
'These are the Homes' - Members of a committee representing local veterans' organizations gather behind William H. Burkhard, executive director of the Johnstown Housing Authority, as he describes the Walnut Grove location for temporary GI homes being erected by the city. The committee later selected 21 veterans' families who will be given first choice of the homes when they are completed. Members of the committee are, left to right: Samuel Slutzker, Jewish War Veterans - Donald J. Sharpe, American Veterans of World War II - Clay D. Harshberger, American Legion - Stephen Kisha, Disabled American Veterans and George F. Jones, Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Eleanor says that her family were offered one of the pre-fab homes near the drive-in in Westwood - but her mother didn't want to leave Cambria City.
