Kathryn Kuhlman was a was a 20th Century American faith healer. who was based in Franklin, PA around 1948. Now she has her own Myspace page. And, from the comments, people aren't sure if she's alive or dead. Strange.
From the online Derrick:

Sometimes, with so many chain stores, it's easy for us outsiders to forget that Pittsburgh has a thriving indie bookstore scene.

Takoma Park MD has a poet lauraeate, but Venango County doesn't?! C'mon!
The Slippery Rock Rocket takes on...poetry?There's a reason a lot of people hate "poetry". . . and it all comes down to this: it can be boring.
But poetry doesn't have to be that way. We don't have to groan every time a copy of "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot graces our presence. That poem has to be one of the most elitist things ever written.
Because it consists of so many allusions to other things, it was almost as if Elliot was just trying to prove his poetical superiority...
Indeed.

trivia of the sort: kathryn kuhlman has her own myspace page: makes me smile. thanks michael.

I created the myspace page for Miss K. (A good portion of pages on myspace are memorial pages, after all) Fortunately, 99 percent of the people know she's gone and most of those comments are directed to me. But thanks for the mention! :-)
I seem to recall her dying shortly after I graduated from high school-- mid-70's. She was based in the tabernacle in Sugarcreek that was also a dance hall and an ice rink. You can still see the location if you head into Sugarcreek over the Red Bridge (which is, of course, no longer red, but is on the road across from the Cove on 322, which is, of course, no longer the Cove).
Anyway, as you head into Sugarcreek after crossing the bridge, look to the right where some houses sit up on a rise. That's where the tabernacle/skating/dance hall was. The last time I looked, the big front steps and a couple of pillars were still there.
The building collapsed under the weight of snow and ice on the roof one winter. You can find plenty of old timers who will share fond memories.
And while her foundation seems to favor later pics of KK, when you see her younger shots, you can immediately see part of the basis of her early success-- she was a major babe.
I had no idea Kathryn Kuhlman was based in Franklin! Major bit of news! We used to watch her on hungover Sunday mornings.. pretty dramatic. "I belieeeeve in miracles" was her tagline, I think.
