Hello Joyce,
  My name is Carl berg, I am the son of Doris Berg, maiden name CARD. Her father, Alvin Card, owned the Blackwell Hotel from 1939 to 1946. Her entire family helped run the hotel. he also owned the Bush House in Tioga from 1954-1964. I love your web site, i'm sure it has been an awful lot of work for you.
  My mother remembers alot of the people that lived in Blackwell, Cedar run, Morris, and Tioga. I'm trying to get her to e-mail you, she is not very computer literate. hehehe
  If she doesn't, i'll try to put more information on your site, or directly to you. Oh yeah, one other thing. My grandfather lost the Blackwell hotel in a
Poker game.
  I really hope this information helps some people. Again, thank you for your web site.
                 Sincerly,
              Carl H. Berg III

I love your website.  I am asking you to E-mail me your mailing address so that I can send you a postcard of an old picture of the Blackwell Hotel in Morris, Pa., in Tioga County.  This postcard shows an excellent view of the front of the hotel.  The picture you show on the website is the back of the hotel.  I knew the owners back in the 80’s and they gave me an old postcard of the hotel.. I hope you can use it.
Thank you,
Robert W. Koehn
Tourist Information Counselor

Note from Joyce- I think this may be from 1970s based on back of postcard.
