Brady Quinn: Russell Wilson In Pittsburgh Could See ‘Success That We Saw During His Time With Seattle’

And though there may have been a township line that divided the two communities, in so many ways, Bethel and Peters just blended together. The phrase “A great place to raise a family” comes to mind.
