Stephen Foster was a composer and song writer. His most well-known compositions included Beautiful Dreamer, Camptown Races, and Oh, Susanna. I remember singing plenty of his songs when I was a youngster.

I had no idea that he was born in Lawrenceville, Pa which is along US 15 at the border of PA and NY, just a short ride from where George had grown up. Foster also studied at private academies in Athens and Towanda. George taught high school in Athens. I don't remember going through Athens, but I have been through Towanda. This all has set me off on reminiscing about George and our frequent back-road travels up along the northern tier area of PA and across the river into NY.

Oh, and the Camptown Races was a real place in nearby Canonsburg, PA. Just saw that. Didn't know that either.
