Local town makes good! Wyoming is located a hoot and a holler from Kingston
[Pa.], current residence of your humble correspondent. Both towns are
located in the Great Wyoming Valley of the Susquehanna River, in Luzerne
(not a misspelling of "Lucerne"; named for Anne-César, chevalier de Malte
et le marquis de la Luzerne, Normandy, France) County, the most
Trump-voting political entity in all of PA.
