Letters From Readers - October 2007 - American HistoryAH Issues | Single Page | 0 comments | Print This Post | Email This Post Memories Come Flooding Back I enjoyed reading Chris Chandler's article on the 1937 Ohio River flood (August 2007). It brought back a childhood memory. In 1937 I was a 12-year-old living in Steubenville, Ohio, 22 miles downstream from Pittsburgh, Pa. At that time, a local theater had an amateur show every Saturday. The weekend of the flood, as the lower streets of Steubenville were underwater, I participated in the show. I played "Beautiful Ohio" on my Hawaiian guitar (now called a steel guitar or Dobro) and won $5. That was rather good money for a 12-year-old in 1937. Rob R.
