McGuinness, Marci Lynn

Lillian McCahan starts her recently published autobiography, By the Side of the Road, saying, "I was born in a railroad station." McCahan was a woman before her time, single, working a "man's job" at a railroad station, supporting her family, writing columns and books, keeping mountain area WWII soldiers in touch with each other, and forcing the issue of Ohiopyle's preservation. McCahan was a strong, lively lady. Her work entertains, informs, and preserves, living on. McCahan passed away in 1979, but her energy prevails.
