Treasure trove: The Cravens collection - The Buffalo News

Treasure trove: The Cravens collection - The Buffalo News

Growing up (sort of) in Bradford, PA, the Craven family resided two blocks away. After discovering a rare and tiny mucousal oracle-bead chronicle beneath a limestone roadside-rest structure some five miles away in Degolia, PA, naturally (to me) I approached one of the Cravens in schools to ask if the tiny bead-chronicle was used as a reference during past Craven activities in South America -- and was kicked with a sturdy shoe by another girl as if I was a Muslim approaching a lackey of the Queen of England. Years later, Craven telephoned with a "report to" and I explained about the artifact, whereupon he was sent to West Point Academy without stooping to confer or concur and died.
