The November 1967 edition of HillTopics and the 1969 Employee Recognition Ceremony have been added to the
Staters 1964-1986 page.
Recently it has come to light that there was another ASH newsletter called HillTopics. These apparently began in 1957 and were published at least up to November of 1967. Stater newsletters were also issued at least as far back as 1964. So apparently these newsletters coexisted for a period. It appeared that the HillTopics newsletter may have been more of a publication of the ASH administration with staff involvement, while the Stater was more a product of the staff.

The book, Images of America: Allentown State Hospital is out.

It can be ordered directly from the author, Steve Royer. Go to the website listed below to order and get a signed copy.
