Littlestown, PA Crossing Guard Reprimanded for Attracting Drivers’ Attention

Larry Douthwaite: The Crossing Guard with the Funny Hats

Larry Douthwaite is a pastor in my old hometown of Littlestown, PA. He’s also spent the past fifteen years serving the local public school district as a crossing guard.

My Childhood Home is For Sale

This three-bedroom rancher positioned just North of the Mason-Dixon line (outside of Littlestown, PA) sits on 1.09 acres of land with easy access to:

  • Gettysburg, PA
  • Hanover, PA
  • Westminster, MD

There’s a cool 8′x8′ two-story clubhouse in the back of the property, and a linden tree that’s perfect for climbing. The wooded backyard is a great location for summer cookouts, Frisbee golf and Spaceman Spiff types of adventures, while the wood–burning stove in the living room is just the thing to warm you back up after a killer snowball fight.

So… any takers? There’s one catch: you’d have to let me come over from time to time so I can reminisce. ;)
