My name is Bob Stevenson, and I was born in Yo...Hi. My name is Bob Stevenson, and I was born in York, Pa., but moved to Wellsboro when I was less than a year old. My dad, Louie Stevenson, was born in Jersey Shore, Pa. but moved to Wellsboro in 1946, where he was a Tri-County supervisor for the FHA. He was also President and then Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Pa. Outdoor Writer's Assoc. He had a local radio program called Tioga County Outdoors. Dad's grand father, and my great grand father, was "Bull Stevenson" who was foreman of the logging camp in Leetonia back in the latter part of the eighteen hundreds. Our family owned a hunting camp in Leetonia just across from the old CCC camp buildings up on the point looking down on the bridge and intersection with the Leetonia rd. This was on the opposite side of the road from the CCC camps and the stream running next to it as you came in from Colton Pt. The camp was originally the old Leetonia School House, which I'm sure has been torn down by now. In fact I believe they built a "new" camp or home up there since I was last there. We used to spend lots of time there during both turkey season and trout season. I have many fond memories of fishing Cedar Run and the Funnystock. There was an old timer that used to live a short way down the road towards Cedar Run from our camp, and my dad found him almost drowned, with his foot stuck in between two rocks there on Cedar run while he was fishing. Obviously they got the gentleman out, but for the life of me I can't remember his name. Anyway, thanks for the post, and the memories. My name is Bob Stevenson and my wife and I now own a tour company in Jackson Hole Wyoming where we offers tour of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, and wildlife tours of the Jackson Hole Valley. I've been doing tours in Yellowstone and the surrounding region for roughly thirty years now, but I'll always remember that I got my start in the outdoors with my dad in the Leetonia area, and will take many fond remembrances of time spent there into my next life........:)Grizzliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11151377120537844551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346153408575448055.post-17554770590987108212010-11-17T02:48:13.044-08:002010-11-17T02:48:13.044-08:00Good post.
