<span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 22.0pt;">THE NEWSLETTER STORY<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Many of
you may not know that my family moved to Stealey when I was in the 5<sup>th</sup>
grade. I graduated from WI when I was just 17 years of age. Then, I went to
Fairmont State College and my parents sold our home and moved to Ohio. Yes, I
only lived in Clarksburg for 8 years. But I loved everything about it and it
certainly became my home. I made contact with some classmates after many years
and started attending any reunion that was held. I even worked on many of them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
1999, after finding it difficult to locate people for a class reunion and keep
track of them, I started the Newsletter for my classmates, so we could stay in
touch. Judy Daugherty, a classmate, was married to Larry Kimler, a computer
guru. They found a website where we could post the newsletter. Thus, we were on
the road! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As you
know, many others became interested and after a few years, I decided that in
order to make them feel welcome, I would rename the newsletter the WI
Newsletter. I have always welcomed anyone to become a reader and, of course,
their task was to write and share some memories with us. Thus, the newsletter
grew. Little did I know that we would, in time, be reaching people from most of
the other Harrison County schools (and further). I have received correspondence
from many people who are from Clarksburg, but live all around the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
2002, I had the first Clarksburg Picnic in Sarasota Florida. It was so much
fun. The reason behind it was to get people from WI/Clarksburg together “down south”
... for those who lived there or vacationed there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
2004, I came up with another idea! If so many people really loved Clarksburg
enough to want to write and trade memories of that great place, why couldn’t we
combine our efforts and raise money for a scholarship to benefit a child
graduating from R.C. Byrd High School? Pay it forward, if you will? Thus, in 2005,
you responded to my request and we gave $500.00 to a student. What a great
feeling it was to be helping others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
2006, Sue Selby Moats (WI 1955) organized a group of women who were interested
in quilting and they started making a quilt each year to help raise money for
the WIN (WI Newsletter) Scholarship. They made a quilt for 13 straight years.
The last one was awarded in 2019. Through the years, this was the only money
maker we ever had. All additional funds for the scholarship were from the
generous gifts of our readers. </span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
October 2009, I talked Bill, my husband, into being my Sports Editor. He loves
sports and will talk about WVU sports with anyone. Plus, he seems to know a
little bit about most other sports. He is indeed a “Sports Nut!” and has done
an excellent job for ten years. </span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Sadly,
in 2014, Judy Daugherty, my high school friend and my assistant for 15 years in
this venture, passed away. I was devastated. My daughter created a Google
account for me so that we may move the newsletter to a Blogspot address, but that
was all Greek to me. Thankfully, the newsletter could be patterned after my
sister Jalon’s existing Google Blogspot. I was hoping that she could help me learn
how to use it. The biggest problem was that I am a hands-on type of learner and
my sister lives in Georgia, while I live in Florida. Thus, again I was getting the
newsletter proofread and published via email. So, bless my little sis's h</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 19.3333px;">eart</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 19.3333px;">, </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">she
has been doing the Blogspot newsletter now for the last 5 years.</span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Now it
is 2019 and the Newsletter has survived and prospered. A little less than a
year ago, I set a goal. I would complete my </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 19.3333px;">t</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">wentieth year doing the newsletter with

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I am
sure many of you are asking, “Why didn’t she tell us?” I know you realize that
this is a very difficult decision for me and I didn’t want to prolong it. The
decision was too hard to share earlier and discuss over and over again. So, I
thought it best to do it this way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">It has
been wonderful getting to know so many of you. And a lot of you have been very
helpful to me. I made friends and lost friends which was very hard for me
emotionally. There are so many special people here. I don’t want to try to
thank you all by name, because I don’t want to miss anyone. </span><br />

never explain how great it has been. But it is time for me to move on to some
things that I have been wanting to do for years, but never had the time. Part
of my heart will always be in Clarksburg and memories of my friends old and new.
And a piece of my heart will especially be with the people I met through the WI

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Many
years ago, when Roleta asked me to handle the sports for her newsletter, I was
very reluctant to take on the task. After all, this was a newsletter about
Clarksburg and I had never even lived in Harrison County. However, I agreed to
give it a try, because I've always loved to discuss sports with just about
anyone. Was it worth it? Yes, it was. As the title of this piece states,
"It has been fun".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Through
the years, you and I have written about sports at a lot of high schools, like
Washington Irving, of course, but so many others - old schools from Victory to
R W, from Kelly Miller to Salem and all points in between. I even got in a few
lines about my old high school in Monongah. We've also discussed sports at R C
Byrd and Bridgeport, in addition to most of the current high schools in North
Central West Virginia. We remembered conferences - the Big Ten and Big Nine,
Little Ten, Mason-Dixon, NCAC and a couple of others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Then,
there are the many college teams and conferences we have recalled. Although our
coverage leaned toward the Mountaineers, there was always time for Marshall,
Fairmont State, Salem, WV Wesleyan and other state schools. We lived through
WVU's acceptance into the Big 12 and some of us still question the move. We
lived (and died) with Bob Huggins' teams, especially the last one. Yes, we were
disappointed a lot, but we continue to love every minute of the action,
regardless of the season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Individual
athletes we've discussed are too numerous to mention. Let's just say that North
Central WV has produced some great ones and I'm proud to have known several of
them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Most
importantly, I want to thank all of those readers who have taken the time to
write to us. I've met dozens of wonderful people through your letters and comments.
As I've said many times, you were the newsletter. I was just the conduit
through which you delivered your thoughts and opinions. I am thankful that we
had very few complaints, even though there were some lively discussions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Finally,
I want to thank my wife, Roleta, for 20 years of faithful service to you and
me, our readers. Yes, I read the newsletter and enjoy it as much as anybody.
While my small part of this undertaking only required a few hours each month,
this newsletter consumed most of Roleta's spare time since 1999. By my rough
estimate, she has spent somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 hours working on
your great newsletter. After being introduced to the WI Newsletter, several
people from all parts of the country have told us that it is the finest
newsletter of its kind they have ever seen. All I can say is, "I
agree".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

my email address won't change and I would still love to hear from you about

well and keep smiling and may God Bless each of you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As a
member of the WI class of 1957, I had to get a picture of this beautiful chunk
of Detroit sculpture.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I
spotted it on July 5 at the Elkins classic car show. And how could I turn down
the great chance to sit behind the wheel of this monument to the Fabulous
Fifties when our All-American city of Clarksburg and our state and nation were
enjoying the greatest prosperity in our history. </span></div>

have owned this beauty since the 1970's. Nephew Josh, present owner, from

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In the
WI 1952 class there was a guy named Herb Cottrill. He grew up on Baltimore St.;
attended Point Comfort Elementary School, and Central Jr. HS and somehow ended
up at WI. He was the "little guy" on our basketball team, An
"ankle-biter"; rug-rat; high speed; good shooter; not as good as Bob
McCarty but a whole lot better than me. That's how I first met him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">After
graduation, we didn't see or talk to each other until our 25th and 50th
Reunions 1977 and 2002. By then, Herb had picked up a Masters from WVU; married
Jeannie Bevan (WI 1956) w/a handful of kids & grandkids; had coached in MD
& VA high schools and gone into administration; was retired from
Charlottesville VA public schools, but still working as a consultant to School
Boards while living in Charlottesville, VA. We hooked up, and, along with
McCarty, we attended several years of ACC & NCAA basketball tournaments.
Trust me - It was high school all over again, only better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

those years, we lost our spouses. Bob's now gone also and Herb lives in a condo
in C'ville along with his canine constant companion, "SADIE". I am
fortunate to be able to visit with Herb in C'ville annually and have met Sadie.
She is clearly the "Love of his Life". They take 3-5-mile walks daily
and he claims that, at 85, she is the reason he's alive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Judy Ash Guy (WI 1950)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In the
July issue of the WI Newsletter you posted an article requesting information on
a school song "GOLD AND BLUE" by Charles Gianque. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
1949-50, Mr. Gianque was a new music teacher at WI. He wrote this song and
tried to replace the old "Hail Washington Irving" (the alma mater and
fight song) with his new offering. As you can see, it didn't work. The student
body rejected it and kept belting out "Hail Washington Irving" at all
the school programs, games and parades. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As you
noted, the original “Hail Washington Irving” was written by E. W. James (of
James & Law) and Miss Yoak. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Another
tidbit - the James family lived directly across Lee Avenue from WI.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

before you know it, it will be time for our 55<sup>th </sup>reunion. I recently
sent out mass emails to my current email addresses. We are getting a very
positive response. It looks like another great reunion. If you already
responded, it is not necessary to respond again. If you did not receive an
email, check your spam, as some mass emails end up there, or email me your

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">We wanted to reach out to each of
you a little early in order to give you some idea of the results of our first
committee meeting. We discussed several options and came up with a few ideas.
It was suggested that we could have the reunion sometime in August or even
extend the time into September 2020, since most all of us are now retired and
our children are grown. Then if some of you would like to go to a football game
at the Robert C. Byrd High School that could be an option. We could possibly
arrange for a tour at Washington Irving. We also discussed possibly for Friday
night maybe a gathering at Twin Oaks. For Saturday night, as some of you may
know, the old Robinson Grand Theater has been restored and is now open! It has
been a very successful venue for concerts, movies, local talents, and many
other events. They also have available rooms for large groups to meet for many
uses and especially for our class reunion.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

items can be picked up at Walmart or Kroger at East Pointe. Of course, we

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Sorry I
am late on the June Picture - truck o tel - I have been traveling a lot. I lived by
WHAR and we owned the land behind the motel and next to Truck o tel. The
Fazzini family ran the truck O tel for years as well as the hotel that was
owned by Sam Salerio (I believe). I visited Truck O Tel many times during my
high school days. They had a pin ball machine and other games that in most
cases helped my weekly allowance to be expanded. The State Troopers would come
in often to visit and were good friends and customers with the Fazzini. On
Sunday, the blue law would not permit them to play jukebox or open for business
until around 12-1pm. Ate there often at the counter. As a High School kid--hamburger,
fries and a milk shake. Upstairs were showers and small sleeping facilities for
the truckers. Got to know Bernie Fazzini well and still stop in and see him
when visiting Clarksburg.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Thanks
for writing a very interesting letter. I remember the Blue Law. I sort of wish
we still had the Blue Law. One reason, I go to church on Sunday and I think
perhaps a lot of little neighborhood churches would not be struggling as much
if the stores were closed on Sunday morning. Also, I remember coming home from
church and it was a family day with all of us sitting down to have a meal
together. Boy those were great times, weren’t they?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Just a
small look into my youth: My father was always involved in church activities.
As a child if my brother or I were too sick on Sunday morning to go to church,
we were not allowed out of the house until after church let out and people had
enough time to get home. So, there was actually no reason to fake sickness to
try to get out of going to church, because back in those days the fun things
were outside!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Gemma was an actual person, but not the one in the picture with me in the 1960
formal wear. Patty Gemma may have actually gone to Notre Dame. I knew her as
she lived on Main Street in Goff Plaza where Main Street and Buckhannon Pike
intercept - across from what is now Hardee's. The reason that Billy May's wife
caught my error was that Edith Kline May lived on the other side of the
intersection and was friends with Patty Gemma, AND, my best friend during my WI
days (Bill Post) actually dated Patty Gemma at some point when I was "sort
of" dating Edith KLINE May.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
July Mystery Picture is of the Stealey United Methodist Church, formerly called
Stealey Heights Methodist Church, on Milford Street (US-19) in Stealey. With
weekly church services, Sunday school, vacation bible school, Boy Scouts,
Methodist Youth Fellowship, choir practice, bible study groups and other
organized activities, my family members spent many hours there between 1946 and
1975.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">On
March 18, 1952, a Cherub Choir performance was broadcast live from the church
over WBLK radio. Age 5, I sang a solo, "Can a Little Child Like Me,"
for that performance. I remember learning the words by following pictures my
mother drew for me, but I don't remember the performance itself. My dad left a
work meeting to listen to it on his car radio, and I have a record of the
performance in my possession. Someday I may actually make the effort to find a
record player to listen to it. (Note: Some of you will remember my mother, Mrs.
Young, WI Librarian, 1964-1968.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Stealey Heights Methodist Church, now Stealey United Methodist. I lived
just behind it on Musgrave St. My dad was on the church board and mom sang in
the choir in the 50s and 60s. I got married to my first wife Joyce Scolish, (WI
class of 1964) there in 1987.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a real pipe organ and a system that played chimes out of speakers in the tower
before church. The part on the right was the Education Building added, I think
in the 60s. I used to DJ dances in the church basement when I was in high school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

graduated from WI with the Class of 1956 and have been enjoying your newsletter
for a long time, but have been a very poor contributor for which I ask to be
forgiven. But I could not resist responding to the current mystery picture
which is the Stealey Methodist Church on Milford Street. My family moved to
Clarksburg from Uniontown, PA in 1946 and we occupied a house on Fairview Ave.
in Stealey until a year later when we moved into a new home on upper Stealey
Ave, where we lived until 1961. From the time we arrived in Clarksburg until I
left in 1966, my entire family attended the Stealey Methodist Church and I
literally grew up there. It will always hold a very special place in my heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As a
small boy, I attended a Sunday school class taught by Miss Jane Stealey who
lived up the street on Milford in a big White House. Mrs. Pierpoint, a 6th
grade teacher at Morgan School (where I entered Miss Israel’s 3rd. Grade class
when we came to Clarksburg) lived close by the Stealey’s. Later on, I became a
Cub Scout in the Pack at the church and then graduated to the Boy Scout troop
there. The troop dissolved a couple of years later for lack of a Scoutmaster.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

there (before the addition on the right). Occasionally, Grandmother Harris took
me to a service. The minister Mr. Fox wore a morning coat with striped trousers
--- very formal. I also attended Girl Scouts there --- in the basement. As an
adult, I attended a funeral and was surprised that the sanctuary is small.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

indeed this is the Stealey Methodist Church located on Milford Street in
Stealey section of Clarksburg. My family moved to Stealey in 1951 years and
this was our church. Each of my family were church members. My sister, Jalon,
was baptized as a baby there. My father was on the board, and was a Sunday
School Superintendent of the youth department. I attended Sunday School, was in
the youth choir, attended MYF, represented the church at youth camp for several
summers, and helped out with Bible School several times. I can’t remember all
of the ministers that were there but I do remember Rev. Carlson who was
followed by Rev. Moore. We moved to Ohio
in 1960.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

on a vacant hill in Clarksburg—one we could all see from our cars when we’d be

Rushmore. Except the visages we would be seeing would be of you, Roleta, Bill, and

next one on Saturday, August 24<sup>th</sup> 2019 at 10:30 AM.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">We owe Mike Snyder, my WVU
Signa Fi Nothing frat brother, BIG TIME for his article about my hitchhiking
and deplorable grades. But we need to continue the story. My wife finds it
hilarious that I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">barely</i> graduated
from high school. I then saved $1,600 in the Marine Corps to begin to pay my
way through WVU by working three on-campus, part-time jobs simultaneously; as a
glasscutter apprentice at the PPG working one summer and on school breaks, and
graduated from college in 3 years and 6 weeks. Later, midway in my college
teaching career, I was presented the Distinguished Faculty Award for Excellence
in teaching by Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg. In truth, I did fall
through the cracks in high school. To end up a university professor with five
academic degrees—including my doctorate—required endless hours of work and
admittedly is something rather ironic. My goal from the eighth grade on was to
go to WVU and be the wildest party guy that ever went to WVU. Fortunately, I
failed at that goal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Lynn
was the third son of Preston Welch and Genevieve Allen Welch of Clarksburg, WV.
Growing up, he loved to spend time at Lake Floyd in the summers; being on the
Allen family farm with his uncle Wayne. He loved boating, fishing, hunting and
camping. He was very much a family man and enjoyed close relationships with his
brothers John (deceased) and Jim. Lynn met Janet Duncan in 1955 and they spent
64 years happily married, supporting each other in every way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">After
serving a tour of duty with the Army during the Korean War, Lynn returned to
complete his college education. An educator for over 30 years, Lynn taught many
years at North and Kenmore High Schools along with being the swim coach for
Kenmore. He cared for all of his students. He saw potential in each of them and
was proud of their accomplishments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">While
the last few years were challenging for Lynn as the Alzheimer's progressed; he
still found joy in his life and brought the same to those who interacted with
him. Despite the challenges, he kept his sense of humor, and remained more
concerned about his loved ones than for himself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

providing hot dishes, hot dogs, and the works. Out-of-town classmates are asked
to bring chip, drinks or something easily picked up at the store. </span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
Truck O'Tel was on the right side of old Route 50 East slightly above where
Trickett (now Cava) Cadillac garage is located. It was open 24 hours which was
unusual for those days. Good food and pastry. They were known for their greasy
bacon and eggs dinners.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the right. It's across the road from Compton's Bowling. I hope that will help
you with locating it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I think
the June mystery picture is the Truck-O-Tell restaurant located at the base of
Bridgeport Hill, on the Clarksburg side. They had sleeping quarters on the
second floor for truckers. It was open all night so it was the last place to
stop before calling it a night after hitting all the hot spots. I think the
Lapeers from Nutter Fort owned it in the 50's.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Few of us get any chance of encountering greatness
first hand. I'm not speaking of an historic event; I mean a period of time
spent with someone who is truly great. I had just that opportunity in the
summer of 1959 when I took a road trip with Jerry West. Jerry was then a
household name in this state after earning All-American first team and leading
WVU to the NCAA finals and losing the national title by just one point.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I saw Jerry play each week in the Field House along
with packed crowds of other students. But I also saw him almost nightly in the
Chi Omega sorority house when we both escorted our sorority sister girl friends
back before the nightly curfew. If you know anything about Jerry West
personally, you probably know he was one of the quietest men going. Beyond
saying “Hi,” and talking to Janey and his teammates, he was pretty much silent
around the rest of us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The summer of 1959, I drove to Weston in my 1950 Ford
coupe. There I was to meet with a small group of other Chi O girls and their
dates which included <em>The Jumper</em>, a nickname some of us gave Jerry before his
later <em>Mr.
Clutch</em> pro-ball days. I have read that by his freshman college year
Jerry West from Cabin Creek did not have a driver's license and never had a
date. This sunny day, he was driving a late model green Oldsmobile. It was
arranged that my girl and I would double with him and Janey and Jerry would
drive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">It was a rather longish trip in those pre-interstate
days to our destination at one of the Weston gal's rustic cabin beyond Rock
Cave in Upshur County. All that time, Jerry and I had little conversation as I
was more focused on my girl, and Jerry on the road. I cannot remember anything
we talked about. Remember, by Jerry's own admission he was a terminally shy and
introverted person, notwithstanding the fame that by this time had zeroed in on
Number 44, who one year later became a gold medalist in the Olympics. We made it
to the cabin in the boondocks and Jerry and his girl promptly disappeared.
Night fell and still no Jerry. The rest of us were drinking and socializing and
growing irritated at a naval academy cadet who was plastered and doing the
manual of arms with his sword. I remember chiding him about the academy have a
codfish for a mascot. Sometime in the early morning hours, Jerry and Janey came
out of the woods and we got back in the Olds with Jerry as our chauffeur. I
can't recall a single word we might have exchanged on our journey back to
Weston. It would practically fill up this month's Newsletter to cite all of Jerry's
coming successes as one of basketball greatest players of all time. I've never
forgotten that road trip and I expect Jerry remembers it also--but whether. He
later married Janey and they had three children but later divorced. Jerry
remarried and he and his current wife and extended family live three months of
the year in West Virginia in their home at the Greenbrier resort—where you can
order a 44 West steak, all 44 ounces of it, in the resort's restaurant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Two
months and counting. That's how long it is until college football begins. As
I've written many times over the years, June through August are what I call the
"Dog Days" of sports. It wasn't always so. Back in the day, Major
League Baseball was king. There were only 16-teams and every fan knew most of
the players’ names by position. Then along came free agency, which changed
everything for many of us. No longer would the Stan Musials of the baseball
world play for one team for their entire careers. Expansion, teams changing
leagues and interleague play added fuel to the fire. As we get older, the one
thing we don't like much is change and MLB has really changed since I was a kid
and I don't like the changes. Thus, I have about three months of downtime, Dog
Days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Regardless,
there have been some interesting things happening lately and below are a few I
noticed as I scanned the news this month.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Jerry

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Mike
Snyder (WI 1957), sent us an interesting story about Jerry at just the right
time. West has been in the news recently, but the news was not about
professional basketball. In early June, President Donald Trump announced that
Jerry West will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is our
nation's highest civilian honor, "for his outstanding career both on and
off the court". I have not heard anyone criticize the choice, which is
very surprising, considering the political climate in the country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As
always, I'd like to hear your take on this. I think it is a very big deal for
one of our state's most famous native sons to receive this award. Do you agree?
Have any of you had the opportunity to meet and talk with Jerry? We would love
to hear your opinion and any story about West you could share with us. </span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">For the
first time in recent memory, there was a lot of excitement about the WVU
baseball team. They finished the season with a 38-22 record and hosted an NCAA
Regional for the second time in school history. Pitcher Alek Manoah earned
first team on six different All-America teams and was selected 11th overall in
the Major League Baseball draft. Seven other players were also selected in the
draft. It looks like Head Coach Randy Mazey really has it going in Morgantown.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Hats
off to the Bridgeport High School baseball team, which won their record-setting
sixth straight Class AA state championship recently. That makes eight
championships overall for Coach Robert Shields' Indians. What an
accomplishment!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Basketball:</span></b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">If you
recall, Bob Huggins' Mountaineer basketball team lost five scholarship players
from next fall's roster through transfers. As expected, Huggs went out and
promptly replaced all of them. The latest is Ethan Richardson, a 6'-10"
transfer from Fresno City College. There are still scholarships available, but
I would be surprised if Huggins used them this year. The exception would be for
a late, late transfer, who could help the program immediately. By the way,
Huggins has vowed to bring back the "Press Virginia" defense and it
can't come too soon for this fan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Finally,
on a sad note, it was recently reported that Teddy "Buckets" Allen,
the former WVU forward, who transferred to Wichita State after the 2017-18
season, has been dismissed from the Shockers basketball team after an arrest
stemming from a domestic disturbance. Teddy Buckets was one of my favorite
players while he was at WVU and hopefully, he can get his act together and be
back on the court soon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In the
March issue of the WI Newsletter, I ran a mystery picture of the Esso Station
in Point Comfort. Joe Williams sent his guess on June 14 2019. Usually I
wouldn’t run a guess that is so dated. But he is right and I thought some of

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
Esso Gas Station in Point Comfort was run by Carl Clovis and his sons also
graduates of WI. Wanda Lee Curtis, (Carl’s Sister) and her husband Jim Curtis
took over in maybe the 60’s. Wanda and Jim lived in the house behind the
Station. Carl Clovis and his family lived down the street which was Ave. We
were friends and neighbors with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Ballgames? Commencements? Acapella Choir programs? It was appropriate for all/any

1952, Miss Yoak saw fit to "cut and paste" an original (now yellowed)
copy of song into the last page of my yearbook. Opposite the song sheet, she
penned a very personal and touching note which I shall let you decide if it's
appropriate to publish in the Newsletter. Certainly, the last paragraph
resonates with your basic charter.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Miss Yoak my Senior year for English Lit. I was not a good "student"
nor a "reader" and rarely understood her offerings (Chaucer;
Shakespeare, English poets, etc.). However, I could read aloud and memorize
individual lines/whole pieces. (I had the "lead" in the Sr. Play)
Both Miss Yoak & Miss Bauer loved it. +/- 7 decades later, these are good
memories.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Since
the subject of hitchhiking came up, I’ll tell you my story. In the Fall of 1959
or 60 I went down to University Ave to thumb to Clarksburg from Morgantown.
After a short time, a car stopped to pick me up. I was a little bit skeptical
but a ride going in the right direction is a ride. The car was an early 50’s
Chevrolet, well worn, with the driver and a passenger who were characters. Soon
after we started going toward Fairmont on old Rte 73, I noticed a clicking in
the front wheel bearings while going around turns. The driver said that had
been going on a while and that the brakes weren’t good either. Needless to say,
I was a little bit nervous. All was going OK until we started to catch up to a
1954 Ford sedan with a fellow and his girlfriend sitting close beside him. They
were traveling slow and wandering around the lane. My driver managed to avoid
hitting him for a while, but down one long stretch the brakes just were not
working. The Chevy bumped into the Ford and the bumpers locked. They managed to
get down the hill and pulled off into a small church parking area near the
road. The Ford driver had an embarrassing look on his face and the Chevy driver
and his friend said they could get the cars apart in no time. Out came a bumper
jack and the Ford was up in the air. The Chevy driver wanted to push the Chevy
back, out from under the Ford, but while he was saying this and explaining that
his jack would go up but not down his friend shoved the Ford forward and the
top of the jack punched a hole in the trunk lid. The cars were apart and
apologies exchanged, and we started on down the road to Fairmont and on to
Clarksburg. The brakes worked well enough to get us to the West End where I
exited and thanked them for the ride. That’s my hitchhiking story and I’m glad
I don’t have a better one!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I had a car my senior year in WI and transportation was no
problem. But, when off to WVU -- freshmen could not keep a personal car on
campus. So, we had to rely on something else. Hitchhiking was the best thing to
do. Getting from Clarksburg to Morgantown was hard to do unless you got a ride
to Grafton and then thumbed from there. Coming back from Morgantown to
Clarksburg was easier. If you really wanted to get a quick ride, all you had to
do was wear your Air Force ROTC (Reserve Officers Training Corps) uniform and
you could get home in a hurry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Away from the Clarksburg area was a different story. Having
met a girl in 1957 (from Smithfield, VA) at a summer camp, to save money
hitchhiking was the thing to do. The trip to her home was only about 360 miles,
so here we go. Not too much problem except while riding in a Tractor Trailer
down Route 1, we stopped to check the weight on each axle. As fate would have
it the weight on the drive wheels was to heavy and the load would have to be
moved back to the trailer wheels. They loosened the load of pipe on the
trailer, I held the brakes on the truck and another truck tried to slide the
load to the back. It did not work and the driver was going to have to move pipe
one-by-one. At that point, I got another ride. On the way back to Clarksburg a
ride was harder to get, so I caught a bus much of the way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Two
major hitchhiking experiences for me:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">First,
as a student at R-W and living in Broadway at the bottom of Broadway Hill, I
would walk the Industrial Bridge to the corner of Marshall St. and E. Main in
the evenings and thumb to Nutter Fort to spend some time. I would thumb back
from Maryland Ave. in Nutter Fort back to E. Main. and walk the bridge to
Broadway. Usually loafed at Gin's Pick-Up on Maryland Ave. I did this many,
many times in three years at R-W--without incident! Secondly, while in the Navy
and for a short time home port-stationed in Norfolk, I would thumb (in uniform)
US 17 to Winchester and US 50 to Clarksburg (pre-interstate days-1958) on a
Friday afternoon. Usually I would get to Clarksburg in about 10 hours. On
Sunday, my parents would drive me to Romney (in a 1937 Plymouth!), and I would
thumb back to the base. Again, without incident! Being in uniform, rides were
really easy in those days. Once I got to US 17, many other military people were
on their way to Norfolk and would give me a ride. Occasionally I would be asked
for a couple dollars for gas, but was glad for the ride. Thankfully, this was
the late '50's--a much safer and saner world. For sure, hitchhiking today would
not be as easy. Definitely brings back good memories!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Exactly
50 years ago, on July 16, 1969, an Apollo Range Instrumented Aircraft (ARIA)
EC-135N with an Airborne Lightweight Optical Tracking System (ALOTS) was flying
at 43,000 feet (8 miles) above the cape headed east during the Apollo 11
launch. The ALOTS was calibrated at 75 miles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><span style="color: #262626;">Colin
synchronized the video with audio. The images show very detailed stage
separation, supersonic shock waves and other detail which you may not see in
typical videos. This site provides a </span><a href="https://vimeo.com/344262513" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">three-minute video</span></a><span style="color: #262626;"> of the launch of Apollo
11 (the first to land on the moon) taken from a viewpoint which you don’t
normally see – taken from above.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Of
course, the Apollo launch quickly rises above the aircraft at 8 miles high and
was soon at 12 miles high. An early test flight is shown below.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In late
1966 and early 1967, I worked on the first eight planes converted from C -135
(equivalent to Boeing 707) to EC-135N. Remember that this was before communication
and navigation satellites and before much of the miniaturization that we expect
today. Cabinets of electronic equipment were bulky and often had water cooling
systems to remove heat. Positioning of equipment affected the center of gravity
and how hard it would be to trim and fly the airplanes. Deploying a trailing
wire antenna substantially changed the center of gravity. The bulky radar dome
in the nose made the plane look as if it would never fly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">First,
I would like to commend you on the work you have put into this newsletter. I
have done a bit of this for my class so I know fully well how much work is
involved. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I am
writing about the June mystery object. I have one exactly like it, and as you
said, it is being used as a door stop. But I have used it myself for what it
truly is, an iron. It was placed on the hot, wood-burning cook stove to heat,
and then used to iron your freshly washed clothes. And, as you can guess it was
never the right temperature, either too hot or too cold.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">It was
very cleverly designed. The lower handle moved from one side to the other and
served as a lock. When pushed to the right the heavy bottom piece came loose
from the top onto the stove. When it got hot, you reversed that procedure and
picked up the bottom piece with the top, pushed the lower handle back to the
original position and locked it in place. You could then pick it up without
getting burned if you were very careful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I am
not sure exactly how old the iron is, but I got it from my great-uncle who
inherited it from his parents probably in the late 1800's. This is just a guess
based on the age of my uncle and his parents. A lot of the things that were
handed down to my great uncle from his parents they had from the time they were
married. They were then passed to my mother and dad when he passed away, and
eventually to me. That still doesn't prove the exact age but shows that it is
extremely old.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">You
might get something from someone who has more actual facts about the iron, but
I hope that what I have told you will be of some interest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
June mystery object picture was a holder for Irons. In the 40's and 50's many
kitchen stoves were heated by coal or wood. The top of the stove was flat and
several irons could sit on the stove and stay warm. Then when the user wanted to
iron, the shown device would fit over the smooth iron, and the lever would lock
the iron to the holder which contained the handle. When the ironing was done or
the iron was getting cool another Iron could be attached to the holder and
ironing could continue. It worked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the first picture is that of an antique clothes iron. I have never seen one in
action, but I do have a cast iron one that you have to heat on a wood stove or
gas range and yes, it does make a good door stop. The second picture is that of
the “Truck-O-Tell” restaurant that was located at the bottom of Bridgeport hill
across from the Compton Bowling Lanes. I do not know if the bowling lanes were
there yet. Also, I suppose that truckers could stay at place of business, too.
I remember eating there with my parents and I remember they had a great
breakfast.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
June mystery object is an “iron” used to iron clothes before the invention of
electric irons as we know them today The ancient iron had to be set “flat” on
the cooking top of a wood stove or coal burning kitchen stove long enough to
heat the iron so that wrinkles could be ironed from cotton clothing items on an
ironing board. Imagine how cumbersome and time consuming this procedure was
before the advent of electric irons,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="yiv9094591708msonormal" style="color: #444444; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I am
old enough to have experienced this technique. I stayed with my great
grandmother during the summer months on a WV farm in the community of Liverpool,
WV. In the early years (the 1940’s), she had natural gas that provided light
for night time activities (no electricity) and used a coal/wood kitchen stove
for cooking. And, as you can imagine, the kitchen stove was also used to heat
the mystery iron. I treasure these memories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

item shown in your photo is an iron used for clothing and linens. It was heated
on the stove. Yes, they make good door stops or weapon because of the heavy
weight. Can you imagine shoving something that heavy around the ironing board?
You sure built up the arm muscles. I never used one but saw them at great
grandparents’ homes. I would think that more than one was needed to complete
the task because they would soon cool off. I bet it got very warm during the
summer with the stove on and working over the hot iron. God bless permanent
press/no iron. Best thing since sliced bread.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

mystery object for June is an iron, used for getting wrinkles out of freshly
washed and dried clothing for those of you who have used perma press and wrinkle
free clothing all your lives. This one doesn't even have an electric cord, so
it had to be heated another way. Back in the dark ages when I was a child, some
folks, especially those who lived back in the country without electricity,
cooked their food on wood fired stoves. The burners were flat and were always
hot as long as the coals burned, so this was the place the irons were heated.
Folks who could afford it had more than one iron so they could continuously use
a very hot iron without interrupting their work. My aunt, who lived in a tiny
little community called Denver near Tunnelton, WV, labored over her three
daughters' dresses as she worked to get out every wrinkle. When those girls
went to Sunday School, they were perfectly pressed. My dear aunt only lived to
be 57 so I doubt she ever had the luxury of an electric iron. Times most
certainly have changed in my lifetime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">We had
moved to Clarksburg during WW II and then my dad was drafted into the Navy in
May 1944. We were renting our home on Hall St. Without any notice, the owner
sold the house and that left my mother with 4 kids, no husband and no home.
Luckily Dad's parents in Weston had a large home and rented part of it. We went
back to Weston for 2 yrs. and rented 2 rooms. (That was a way of life during
the war) My grandfather Hinzman had a farm in Gilmer County, so Mother took 4
kids to the farm during the summers of '44, '45 & '46. (She had NEVER lived
on a farm in her life!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
farm had no electricity, but free natural gas. Even the lights were gas. Our
only connection to the outside world was a battery-operated radio. We turned it
on for 30 mins. each evening to hear world news of the war etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
mystery object is the method women had to "press" the clothes before
there were electric irons. Yes, I used one. The part of the iron that is at an
angle in the picture releases the plate that is at the bottom of the iron. (the
picture isn't EXACTLY like the one I used). You had 2 plates that were set
directly on the flames of the gas stove. You would set the iron on a plate,
move the part that attached the plate to the iron, and remove it from the
flame. You would use that plate till it began to cool, then you would put it
back on the flame & use the other plate till it began to cool.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

dad came home in Nov '45 & we moved back to Clarksburg (Stealey) late
summer of '46. The fall of '48 we moved to Nutter Fort where I attended R-W
High School. The fall of '49 we moved back to Weston for the last time. Now you
understand why I know so many kids from so many different areas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">From Brooke Beall (ND HS 1958)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As you
know my wife, Judy, and I have lived at Lake Gaston (on the VA/NC border) for almost
twenty years. Over the years we have joined a local church, a local community
center, and made friends in our neighborhood and the small town of Bracey, VA.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="yiv1989522095msonormal" style="color: #444444; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">When
the church asked for members to submit recipes for their local church cookbook,
I submitted the WI Football Mothers hot dog sauce. I think the recipe first
appeared in the Newsletter in an early edition. It was accepted and many, many
copies of the recipe book have been distributed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="yiv1989522095msonormal" style="color: #444444; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Our
little community center is always looking for ways to make money. We needed to
update the facility and we invited a local country band to use our building for
practice. We then advertised that the band would be playing once a month,
admission was free, we would have a 50/50 drawing and food would be available. We
decided to sell hot dogs, slices of homemade pie and cake. We also had soft
drinks and water available. I made the hot dog sauce using the WI recipe. What
a great success, we sold hot dogs right and left. Rarely had anything left over
after an event.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="yiv1989522095msonormal" style="color: #444444; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">One
final story about the WI recipe. We have a young couple in the community that
are true entrepreneurs. They have been running a very successful landscaping
business and decided to open a small deli. There are two WV connections in this
story. The wife of this duo is from Morgantown originally and as a teen worked
for T & L Hot Dogs. They wanted to sell hot dogs, but not offer a regular,
medium, and hot sauce like T & L. I gave them a sample of my sauce made
from the WI recipe. They really liked it and decided to use it for their hot
dog’s main topping. My idea of a true WV hot dog is simple. They should be made
like this--Bun, hot dog, mustard, chili (sauce), and topped with onions. I call
that a WV hot dog. No slaw, no sauerkraut, etc. When I go into Furr’s Deli
& Dogs, I order a WV hot dog, and get it my way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Not
bragging, as a Notre Dame graduate, but unduly influenced by WI friends, have
perpetuated the WI Football Mothers Hot Dog Chili Recipe well into the future. I
have enjoyed the Newsletter since the first edition. Keep up the good work!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

“Oil and Coal” - There’s a grandfather clock on the fireplace that chimes the
time every hour on the hour./ Dinner at 6, potatoes this thick and a fly
caught, pan-wide pan fried brook trout / imported champagne never tasted as
good as my granddaddy’s homemade wine/I still miss my dog Mingo who found me on
a dusty road near the Ohio Valley line /Call it self-pity, or nitty-gritty, but
everything I knew/ everyone but Drew has let me down./ I’d run to a bar down
Harrison County where a fellow can always find a way to come unwound / I would
not spend one more winter-time on the Summerville county countryside / I need a
roadside dive outside of town for a drink or a dance or a place to hide</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I took
a "Shop Class" in the 8th grade @ Central Jr. High. I believe the
teacher was a Mr. Fowler? I enjoyed it so much I talked my parents into
allowing me to re-enroll as a freshman at WI (1948-49) and "commuted"
to Central each day. Unfortunately, that decision put me a year behind my peers
in the College Prep program. The good news is that I made it up over the
ensuing three years.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The pictures
below show the fruits of my labor under Mr. Fowler's tutelage. The walnut
coffee table and lathe-turned bookends currently grace my older son's living
room. </span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">From: Mike
Snyder (WI 1957)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-hyphenate: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-other; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Do some
of you all remember sometime in 1956 a kid dressed like a homeless person
showed up at WI talking gibberish, conveying the persona of a foreign exchange
student? He refused to speak one word of English to anyone, students or
teachers alike. He was a friend of ours, but still wouldn't acknowledge anyone
except in his very strange and mysterious unknown tongue—the entire day!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Later
this same zany and eccentric character was introduced in an assembly as Dixie
Donnie the Drummer. Whereupon he leaped out of his seat in the front row of the
balcony screaming and waving his arms in such a frenzy that he nearly fell over
the railing. Somehow in this role as the celeb drummer he made his way to the
stage screaming all the way. Likely one of the most bizarre performances ever
in the WI auditorium. He was so wound up in his role that his screaming and
yelling was taken up by the rest of the students and the entire scene spun off
into near-total bedlam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-hyphenate: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-other; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">This
same guy from the class of 1956, cooled his heels in the USMC, making sergeant
in two years and then coming to WVU where we roomed together for a year. This
former WI class of 1956 madcap, after his college and grad school days, ended
up with a PhD and whole string of other degrees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He became the faculty union president of
California (PA) University where he was known as Dr. Charles R. Thomas, the
head of the English Department. His friends know him as Chuck from up on the
hill behind WI. In his spare time, he writes plays--86 of them to date with
over 50 put on by amateur theater groups in Pittsburgh. But we knew you
remember when, Chuck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">A lot of guys our age
were hitchhikers. The summer of 1957, I hitched rides every day with no
problems to Oral Lake where I was lifeguard. And classmate Andy Hamilton and
this writer thumbed the then six-hour journey to Charleston to hear the great
rocker Chuck Berry in person. Remember his great song <i>School Days?</i> Chuck
and Roger Goff, WI '57 went on hitchhiking excursions all over the place,
largely for the heck of it. Wirt Wolfe, WI '59, and I, one summer, thumbed to
Atlantic City where we worked on the Boardwalk, a story in itself. A year or
two later, Wirt and I were not doing so hot in the grade department at WVU and
talked each other into dropping out. I chickened out of doing that, but Wirt
decided to take off on his thumb for Florida. It was a warm spell in February
and we gave the intrepid lad a big sendoff the night before. I can still see
him in his Madras blazer, with his suitcase and ukulele, thumbing merrily on
the road out of “Morganhole”. He made it to Beverly and a big blizzard hit.
Wirt holed up there with some moonshiner relatives until the skies cleared, and
undaunted, thumbed on to Ft. Lauderdale where I joined him at a swim clinic
over Christmas. It was 1961, and we listened as Fidel Castro took over Cuba to
the south of us. During my European travels, I was thumbing to the port of
Algeciras in Southern Spain and a friendly English officer's wife picked me up
in a Citroen convertible and dropped me off there, where I boarded a ship to
the Canary Islands.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"> For my
first job after University, I hitched to Parkersburg in a charcoal grey suit,
tie and umbrella. After my interview at the ad agency, I hitched back home - 160
miles round trip; I got the job.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The first mystery picture was the Esso Gas Station in Point
Comfort. The people that ran it were Wanda Clovis and her husband Carl. She was
a crossing guard for the school system. They lived in the house behind the
service station. The building has since been a car lot and a detail shop<o:p></o:p></span></div>

miners used it to see in mines. The lamp would have Carbide in it and water. When
mixed together, gas was formed and it shine light. It was mounted on the safety
helmet worn by the miner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">For
those of you wondering what’s it all about, Alfie, this is the book for you.
Breakthroughs! author James Fragale has been searching for the meaning in and
“the meaning” of life from the time he could walk. In the process he’s read
widely and greedily — both on the subject and off, easily quoting Emily
Dickinson, A.E. Hotchner, William Blake, Robert Browning, et al, as you will see.
Lucky for the reader, he shares and encapsulates the best of what he’s gleaned,
and from a fine vantage point, too, as he’s in his 80th year and still going
strong. Ribboned throughout are tales of his childhood growing up in a coal
mining town in West Virginia — both of his grandfathers worked the mines. These
entries are particularly charming and tender as Fragale’s photographic memory
enables him to vividly conjure his subjects and their doings. The chaotic
family life of six children in as many years is wonderfully and colorfully
wrought, too, and will remind readers of those full of life scenes in movies
Italian directors do best. Breakthroughs! is full of sound advice, good humor
and Fragale’s many references to the American Song book - composers and their
lyrics included. He can also be self/deprecatingly funny, as in this passage:
“As a child I was surrounded by chaos created by five siblings and me: an
infant in a dirty diaper; a young-in to be run after; children who needed to be
watched more closely; dishes to be done (I was so young, so small, I had to
stand on a wooden box to reach the spigots, the soap and a Brillo pad, always a
Brillo pad.), one kid is crying... Where’s your brother, find your brother!
He’s naked and outside, in the snow---”</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">From:
Fred Heflin (WI 1953)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I am
not sure that the subject of "freshman beanies" has been brought up
previously, but in any case, here is my experience:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">So,
both parties were, I am sure with the best of intentions, quite emphatic that
there were certain traditions, do's and don’ts if you were to get off on a good
foot at WI. I was told that there were certain teachers who were to be had, if
possible, and certain teachers to be avoid, if possible. It was pointed out
that I dare not approach, or in any way indicate a thought of entering school
via the front steps. A definite no, no!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Secondly,
I must wear my beanie to school every day. NO EXCEPTIONS, or an upper classman
would reprimand me. I never really understood the who, how and when of that
process, but I didn't question my own Mother and Brother laying out the process
and procedure for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Dutifully,
when going to James and Law to purchase my books for my freshman year, I
purchased an official WI freshman beanie. I judge that if they sold them, they
must have planned on selling to more than just me. In any case, I marched out
of J & L with all of the necessities for entering high school in early
September 1949. I also convinced my best friend, Virgil Highland (WI '53) that
he should follow my example and be prepared to properly enter the Fifth Street
entrance (quietly and humbly).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">We did
so! I may have seen a couple other beanies, but not many. Virgil and I looked
around at the sparsity of beanies and made a quick decision that beanies came
off and into our pockets, never to be seen again. No one ever commented one way
or the other. Old traditions apparently can die quickly. However, we never did
dare to venture up (or down) the front steps! That tradition seemed to hold on
longer than beanies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
question of teacher selection seemed to be decided for us, as we went where we
were told and when we were told to go there. Mr. Gudekunst was one teacher who
was to be feared and avoided if possible. In fact, I had him for two years and
really enjoyed his teaching. Miss Nutter was to be avoided, but I got along
with here just fine. So, go figure! Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">All in
all, I think that the teachers at Washington Irving High School during the
1949-53 period were A #1 in all respects. It was a great experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I
entered the hallowed halls of Washington Irving High School in September of
1949. My entry was not the first Heflin to enter WI over the previous years. My
Mother, Ethel Coughanor Heflin was a WI 1924 graduate and my brother, John
Richard Heflin, WI 1947.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

D-Day June 4, 2019 will be exactly 75 years since the great Normandy Invasion
of June 4, 1944. Burt Spangler, (WI 1938), was on Omaha Beach on D-Day not to
directly participate in the invasion but to back-up another Signal Corps Unit.
As soon as it was verified that the other unit was safely ashore, Burt returned
to England. Ironically, some general when hearing that Burt had been to France
assigned him a special duty. He was assigned a pilot and a small plane and
ordered to visit each signal corps unit preparing to go to France. Since he had
been to France, he must now be an expert on waterproofing equipment? Burt could
read his tech manual and follow a check list as good as anyone else
Fortunately, he ran out of units preparing to go to France and got to return to
his home unit in Dover.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dover, under Patton, Burt and his unit were deeply involved in probably the
greatest ruse ever pulled off by noncombatants in the history of warfare. They
were pretending to be a large army waiting to launch on Calais. Between sending
fake message traffic, they would change uniforms putting on patches of fake
units, go into town and eat at public restaurants where they would cause a
scene with pretend rivalries, get interviewed by local reporters and create the
impression that new units were arriving from the states. The ruse worked.
Hitler and the German high command refused to believe that Normandy was the
real invasion and held many panzer divisions in reserve certain that the real
invasion would come under Patton across the narrowest portion of the channel
between Dover and Calais. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Burt
and his collection of 48 raw recruits survived the war with no losses and never
firing a shot in anger. Seventeen and eighteen-year old farm boys mostly from Pennsylvania
were assigned to Burt while they were still in civvies. Burt and his cadre of
newly minted officers had to make soldiers out of these boys, train them to
operate radios, drive trucks and support the headquarters unit for the 3<sup>rd</sup>
Army. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Achieving
the rank of Major, Burt commanded unit B which alternated with unit A setting
up antennas and stringing wire to support Patton as they leapfrogged with unit
A across France and Germany. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Ironically,
another chapter to Burt’s life was written after his death in 2010 which
involved the WI newsletter. Burt had a brief marriage in England which ended
when his bride chose not to come with Burt to America. Some photos and letters
were found in a yard sale along with wedding gifts. The finder searched the internet,
found an article that I had written about my first cousin Burt and proceeded to
track down Burt’s grandson now living in London. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
grandson, Danny Hawkwell, sent me copies of 4 pictures. Burt and his bride at
the wedding are the shorter couple in the center, a colleague of Burt’s and
another unidentified lady are in the photo probably the best man and bride’s
maid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Burt
did not find out until decades later that his wife was pregnant at the time of
their separation. Burt met his daughter many years later. They shared the hobby
of making art from colored glass and lead. His daughter, Adelle Corrin, also
did this professionally in both New York and England.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Burt
would have been 99 years old this year. His three daughters and his late wife
all knew about the surprise daughter in England. The English daughter said that
Burt's wife could not have been any nicer to her. She implied that two of the
daughters were a bit "stand-off-ish".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mystery Picture is Twin Oaks Restaurant in Bridgeport. It is the first place I
stop when returning to Clarksburg. The last time I was there was in March this
year. I asked the waiter if the Shields family still had an interest in the
restaurant and he said they did. I have been going there since the fifties. I
always order a pepperoni pizza and a steak hoagie. Yes, they are still as good
as I remember them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I
graduated from Victory in 1958 and I remember I saw a lot of WI students there.
Victory has an all-class reunion on July 6. We will all be at Twin Oaks on
Friday July 5. I was also friends with one of Bill’s friends, Buzz Floyd. Buzz
and I worked at WBOY-TV together. Buzz graduated from Victory in 1956. Roleta,
I appreciate all your hard work on the newsletter. I hope you can keep doing it

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I'm
taking a wild guess here, but could this be Twin Oaks Restaurant on Bridgeport
Hill? This would be after it was remodeled. In the early 60's, the restaurant
had the bar, the large mirror, and was crowded. Always enjoyed their pizza,
hoagies, and salads with that perfect Italian dressing. Living in Florida, we
still miss the West Virginia area restaurants and food. And hills!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Note
from Editor:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I agree
with both.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Indeed,
this is the dining room at Twin Oaks Restaurant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t think it has ever changed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remember getting hot hoagies there and
always loved their pizzas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I will admit
that there is another restaurant in town that may have had a dining room
looking a bit like this but this is the official one. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Believe it or not, I was
never in it until one of my friends was over 16 and could drive. I turned 16 at
the end of my junior year and my parents must have thought they owned the
golden carriage as I was seldom allowed to drive our car and it seems there was
always a rule tagged on the end of any positive permission I ever received - "DON’T
GO OVER BRIDGEPORT HILL”, they would say. It was a message sort of like the
message in the “Christmas Story” when his mother always replied to his request
for a B.B. Gun…she said, “You'll shoot your eye out”! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Thus, I will go along
with the person who sent the picture and say it is Twin Oaks. Besides, John
Teter invited Bill and I to join his class of 1961 for dinner at Twin Oaks one
Friday before the WI Reunion Picnic. Some of us sat on one side of that patrician
for dinner while the rest sat on the other side, so I remember it! </span><span style="color: #262626;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I am
not a WVU football fan that is wringing his hands over the loss of Dana
Holgorsen. Dana gave up on running too soon in every loss, and should have used
more pressure on defense because we had such slow DB's that we needed to force
quicker throws by opposing QB's. He never learned by our mistakes. I think the
new head coach, Neal Brown, will be a better game coach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">We need
a strong running attack and an emphasis on Defense. I think Neal Brown will
bring back a focus on ball control and defense. In fact, he has to, because of
the pass-attack players we lost.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">There
is a good nucleus coming back this year for a running game, and for the
defense. I don't think Brown will waste this "rebuilding year" to
justify a losing season. I think he will want to win a couple of games we are
not expected to win. If we can get the anchors off of our DB's and get them
running with some speed, or at least knowing where to run, I think a strong
defensive front and blitzing defense, along with our own running game could
lead to a 7/5 season record (8/4 not out of the question) and finally a bowl
win.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">First,
thank you for the letter. Even though football season is a few months away, it
is never too early to talk about Mountaineer football.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As I’ve
watched the reaction of fans since Neal Brown was hired, I’ve seen almost no
one show concern about either Holgorsen’s leaving or the wisdom of the new
hire. This tells me that most of us were ready for a coaching change. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I agree
that a strong running game is required to win big in college football today.
However, it can only be as good as the offensive line allows it to be. WVU has
at least four quality running backs, but even the best can’t run without
blocking. Let’s hope the O-line does its job.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I like
the change in the defensive alignment, away from the 3-3-5. To win in the Big
12, you need pass defense and what better place to start than with a good pass
rush. I never felt the 3-3-5 gave us that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I like
your optimism on the final record. I think we could live with either the 7-5 or
the 8-4 and a bowl win would be nice. It might all come down to one question,
“Can we find a quarterback who can play above average for 12 or 13 games?” He
doesn’t need to be Will Grier nor does he need to win every game. He just needs
to play to his own strengths and not lose too many games due to his mistakes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I was
as surprised as everyone else, when I learned of John Beilein leaving the U of
Michigan to take the head coaching job for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the NBA.
Beilein, of course, is the former coach at WVU, who many feel took the
Mountaineer basketball program out of the dark ages and into national
prominence again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I hated
to see Beilein leave Morgantown, but I’ve always respected his coaching
ability. He has more than proven himself as an excellent college coach. I do
not know him personally, but did watch one of his practices at WVU and came
away impressed. He really enjoys coaching. He is a teacher of the game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">So, why
did he leave Ann Arbor and enter the rat race of pro basketball? While reading
an article by Frank Giardina in the Charleston Gazette Mail, I think I found
the answer. The article was about Beilein and the closing paragraphs are below.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">“The
college basketball of today is not Beilein’s college basketball. He is a
builder. It is tough to build in an era of cheating scandals, transfer portals
and “one and done” players.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Detroit
sports columnist Mitch Albom said it best this week when he wrote that “John
Beilein is not leaving college basketball; college basketball is leaving him.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Like
many of you, I still play a little golf and follow some of the players on the
PGA tour. One player, who intrigues me is Brooks Koepka. In case you didn’t
know, his father, Bob, is from Bridgeport, WV and was a star pitcher at West
Virginia Wesleyan College. You may remember Bob’s uncle, Dick Groat, who played
college basketball and baseball at Duke and later became a famous major league
baseball player.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Brooks
grew up in Florida and played college golf at Florida State. Other than his
connection to our area of West Virginia, what intrigues me about him is the
fact that he seems to play his best in the major tournaments. At 29, he has won
six PGA Tour events, but four of them have been majors. He won the U S Open in
2017 and 2018 and won the PGA Championship in 2018 and 2019. He has done this,
even though he started his professional career playing in Europe. He is
currently the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Hats
off to the WVU baseball team. As I write this, their record stands at 35-18,
their latest win being against Kansas in the opening round of the Big 12
tournament. Here’s hoping for a strong run in the NCAA tourney. Wouldn’t it be
something if they made the College World Series and won it all? There I go
dreaming again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I
remember three mom and pop groceries in our neighborhood, though I cannot
remember any of their names. One was at the top of the hill on Broaddus Ave. in
the basement of Broaddus Apartments, which at one time was Broaddus College,
hence the origin of College St and Broaddus Ave. Second was on the corner of
Sycamore and Locust across Sycamore from The United Methodist Temple. Third was
at the corner of Sycamore and Mulberry. At different times we visited these on
our way to and from elementary school at Pierpont. I do remember others but
these are those in closest proximity to where I grew up on Broaddus Avenue. On
occasion I actually worked a bit at the store at the top of our street.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
Hartland, we had Gribbles Grocery on Traction Street. I can remember Mrs.
Gribbles red hair. She and her husband wore white aprons and lived above the store.
My parents did most of their shopping at the A & P.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Some of
the other businesses in Hartland were Helmick’s Barber Shop, Webb's
Confectionery and a Cabinet Shop. The cabinet shop had an employee by the name
of Pete. They made new cabinets for our kitchen at 301 Magnolia Ave. at the
corner of Traction Street. My Mother worked for Mrs. Webb and often made the
hot dog chili in our kitchen. YUM.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
city bus stopped in front of our house. The neighborhood kids rode that bus to
school from the time they started Central Junior High until they graduated from
WI. We walked to Morgan School on Duff Street for grades one through six. Do
any of you "kids" remember hanging out on our front porch or playing
at the playground just across the alley from the back of our house? We spent a
lot of time sitting on the street curbs. My mother was always afraid someone
was going to get their feet run over. Thank goodness that never happened. We
did play Kick the Can and Hide and Seek.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">We
would cross the West Fork River by way of the Railroad Trestle to watch
baseball games on the Veterans Hospital grounds. It is so sad that our
grandchildren do not have the freedom and safety to play as we did. We were a
happy group of young people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is healing from a shoulder operation on her right shoulder which makes it
difficult for her to type on her computer. She can only use her left hand. Great
job, Sandy - Thank you for your support of the newsletter, I love reading about
neighborhood stores. They are a thing of the past. Bill and I were talking the
other day and wondering how those little “Mom and Pop Shops” back in the day,
could make enough money to afford to live and support a family. Oh, I wish we
had little Mom and Pop Stores again. Even if it's just ones that carry the necessities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
regard to your April questions, let me say this:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I do
not think that Ms. Virginia Lee Nutter ever married. She was way too strident.
I remember on the first day of class, the first words out of her mouth were
"I'm going to make you people sweat blood". I found her to be true to
her word. She caught me one time sharing my homework with a classmate. She
berated me to the entire class. I thought I was going to be hung at dawn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I
remember shop class but do not remember who taught it. I do remember that the
classroom had a mice problem. Therefore, I always sat with my feet raised up on
my stool and off the floor. I saw no reason to let a mouse run up my pant leg. I
remember making a bird house. It must have been a fairly good one because not
long after I brought it home, one of my neighbors stole it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for your support of my "Christmas Family Picture" schtick. We put a bunch

Oh Well, maybe one of these days. Congrats to Sandy Zickafoose!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I
wanted to comment on the "Mystery Picture" for February - i.e. <i>The
Palace Furniture Company. </i>Founded in the first half of the 20th century by
J.D. (?) Carskaden (Charlie Hart's Grandfather) and later run by Mr.
Carskaden's son-in-law, L.D. Jarvis. It was the premiere mechanizer of home
furniture in Northern WV. It was my mother's "go-to' source for
Pennsylvania House furniture. Mr. Jarvis provided me with hourly employment for
six years during the summers of 1950-55 throughout high school and college. I
installed venetian shades, hung awnings and, when I got my driver's license, I
drove the shuttle truck between the store and the warehouse on Oak Street. At
$0.75/hr., it wasn't much but it put spending money in my pockets throughout
that period. Good people to work with, one and all. You may remember that they provided summer vacation employment to Mr. Cubbon, WI's
Principal, who sold living room furniture up on the 7th floor. (BTW, I agree
with whoever said, Peter Massenberg <b>was </b>a good guy!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I also
wanted to add to your "local" grocery market two locations: just up
Fifth Street from my house and WI. The first was on the corner of Fifth and
Hickman St. across from Coach Clay B. Hite's house. It was an original,
established and run by John and Ethyl Mathews. I delivered groceries locally,
in a basket, on foot to local customers, (tips only-nickels/dimes). If you look
in the 1952 yearbook, you'll find a photo of Sal Vespoint, Jim Hayes & Bob
Hiller, surrounded by "Janie" Rymer, Mirian Reep, & Barbara
Antoine, sitting on the cooler @ Mathew's during lunchtime. It is titled:
"In the Store". 'Nuff Said!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Vespoint was one of 9 children, 3 of which I recall played both "Center
& Linebacker" (offense/defense) on WI football teams. I believe they
were all "Capts." as well.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Later,
Howard & Juanita Ryder opened their store further up Fifth Street. First on
the corner of Fifth & Wilson Ave. then further back on Fifth toward WI.
They replaced the Mathews as the primary source of grocery items up on "The
Hill". Howard & Juanita accompanied my parents as they drove across
country to visit me in the late '60's when I was in the Navy in San Diego. Big
deal in the 60's. Good Folks!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

impressive to read your newsletter and recall how many such stores existed
around town before the "Big Boxes" moved in. BTW, I remember the fire
over the A&P. (It was a locker room "giggle" for the teenage

never met, but I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed the WI Newsletter. I'm a
fairly recent (last 7 or so years) subscriber, but I don't know that I could
ever see another high school newsletter that's so well put together. It makes
me so sad to think that you won't be doing the annual WI picnic in Florida. We're
hard pressed in today's society to find quality people like you. Just want you
to know how much I admire and respect you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I got
up early to feed our birds in our make-shift backyard aviary and wanted to be

Roleta. And thanks, Mike for also nudging me to submit something for Roleta. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Roleta
and her WI Newsletter were why I was to write plays again. I was really
inspired by what she wrote about her mother and father, going early to the
country school—out Burnsville WV way—to build fires in the area heaters or potbelly
heaters each morning so it would be warm for the students when they arrived.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
addition, I think the 40 informal essays that I wrote and the 86 plays I have
written that I now use to teach in the Carnegie Mellon University Osher Acting
Workshop classes Linda, and I teach came about because of her WI Newsletter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
film, RUDY, would have been much better had her brother, Roy Smith, been in it.
Roy was really tough.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">It
sounds like Bill Meredith should have been, Coach Bill Meredith. To repeat,
Linda and I are both really interested in basketball—WVU, Ohio State, Michigan
State, and University of Michigan, UVA, and Duke basketball—and WVU, Ohio
State, Steeler, and the Cleveland Browns football.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I think
Bill had to have been a much better basketball player than I was. My playing
level was modest. I made the WI Freshman basketball team. I was a co-captain
with Jim Alvaro of the WI Hi-Y basketball team, and Captain of the Saint Paul Methodist
team. Roy Bever, Andy Hamilton, Rusty Rutan, Roger Goff, Mack Rollins, and
Alvin Garrett. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">After
that, I played basketball approximately three hours every day in high school
from September until April; I took two gym classes five days a week, and thanks
to our old friend Roy Bever, who was point guard and our playing coach in the Clarksburg
Protestant Church league, comprised of an estimated 150 guys, I was the sixth highest
score in the league. I went to the Marine Corps and played Battalion basketball
and volleyball, played Med Cruise basketball against the Air Force in Athens,
Greece. When I was 23, I was one of the two white guys who played basketball in
an all-Black league, which included former high school basketball players and
one Black guy who had actually played for the Baltimore Bullets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">What I
really want to ask Bill about is the coaching offense and defense strategies in
Division I and NBA basketball.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

old friends in many pictures from the “last” (really?) Florida picnic. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Vickie
Limbers and I were JV cheerleaders together when she was a Junior, and I was a
Freshman. The last time I saw her was when I bought an Intro to Speech Therapy
college textbook from her, circa 1970. Sam Salerno is my second cousin, and our
homes were next door to each other on Worley Avenue in Broad Oaks. Andrew
(Andy) Vac is a cherished high school friend.</span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">So many laughs, good times, and
stories were shared with me and my friends, Class of ‘69, and Andy and his
friends, Class of ‘70. Time flies. </span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I enjoyed reading about all of the Broad
Oaks corner stores. I want to mention that the DeMarino Family had a store at
the top of Buena Vista Avenue. Alta Vista Elementary was on Haymond Hwy. If you
looked up the hill from Alta Vista you could see four streets that were
parallel to Haymond Hwy. In ascending order, they were Austin Ave (I think
that’s the name), then Worley Ave, and last Buena Vista. By the time you got to
the top on Buena Vista, the DeMarino Family had banana flavored popsicles and
lots of candy options waiting for you. I don’t recall other stores selling
banana flavored popsicles. They were delish! </span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My Mom would send my brother and
me to the store across from the Broad Oaks Methodist Church. We would have a
quarter to buy a loaf of bread for 23 cents, and we could each get a penny
candy. That short trip from Worley Ave to Haymond Hwy via the Caplin
residence’s steps made our day. I was never sure if we were allowed to walk on
those steps, but the trip was much shorter if we went that way. I look forward
to every newsletter!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

My mother (now deceased) introduced it to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="yiv5641652944msonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I was
moved to comment about the “darling boy” pictured in the April newsletter who
was identified as Bucky Tustin. I didn’t recognize him, but I recognized the
yard he was in. </span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">We lived on Duff Avenue in an apartment over my parents’
grocery. Phillips Market and the Tustin’s were our next-door neighbors. The
yard Bucky is pictured in was my back yard. The building behind him was my
grandmother’s house. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-size: 14.5pt;">Bucky was older than I was, but his brother
Berlin was my age. We played in the neighborhood until my family moved away
when I was 12. A few years ago, you printed a picture of Duff Avenue submitted
by one of the Tustin sisters that was dated December 25, 1947 and showed the
“hollow” on the right. The picture resonated for me, because I was born 5 days
later on December 30. We relocated to the northern panhandle to Follansbee and
Weirton. I would have graduated from WI in 1966 if we had stayed in Clarksburg.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Frank
Reich (Senior), father of Frank Reich (Junior), the current Head Coach of the
Indianapolis Colts, was both Center & Middle Linebacker <b>AND</b> Captain
of Penn State's 1955-56 football team. Rosie Greer played both ways as well.
They were the last of the "60 minute" men before two platoons came
in. I'll bet Sam Huff & Freddie Wyant were as well @ WVU circa 1955-56.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Your
comments bring back a lot of memories. I had forgotten about those days when
there was limited substitution in college football. I checked and found that
from 1953 to 1964 the NCAA limited when and how many players could enter a game
at any one time. This ushered in the one platoon football which you reference.
It was a different era and one that produced many "Ironmen" in the
sport.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Although
these were not particularly from that era, the top two-way players on most
lists include Dick Butkus (Illinois), Chuck Bednarik (Penn), Bronko Nagurski
(Minnesota), Charles Woodson (Michigan) and Jim Thorpe (Carlisle). I remember
three of the five and agree that they were great football players.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">You
mention a few players from Penn State and WVU. Does anyone have other names to
add to the list, particularly someone who played both ways for the
Mountaineers? When I played high school football, most of the better players
played both offense and defense. Is this still the case for local high school
teams?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As much
as some people might hate to admit it, it seems that Oliver Luck did another
thing (or two) right while at WVU. If you recall, Luck hired Randy Mazey as the
head coach in baseball and then was the force behind building a beautiful new
facility (Monongalia County Ballpark) for the Mountaineers to use as their home
field. The team currently stands at 24-14 and is ranked in the top 20
nationally and in Alek Manoah, has a pitcher who is a possible first round
selection in the Major League draft. This is quite a turnaround from the old
days, when WVU baseball was just that game played in the spring. Thanks, Mr.
Luck. Let's hope the magic continues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">If you
watched the Mountaineer football team's spring game, I don't have to tell you
that the team is still "a work in progress". Those were the words of
some of the coaches and most of the fans. None of the quarterbacks really stood
out, so the competition for the starting job will continue into the fall camp.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I've
always felt that as the offensive line goes, so goes the football team. I still
feel that is true. You can't pass unless you can run and you can't run unless
you can block, etc. The running game needs a lot of work, which translates
into, "The O-Line needs to improve". But, as they say, they have the
whole summer to get better, plus the fall camp. Here's hoping that the entire
team puts in the necessary work to make us forget that a guy named Dana ever
walked the sidelines in Morgantown.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Finally,
with Sagaba Konate declaring for the NBA Draft and Taevon Horton entering the
transfer portal, the number of WVU basketball players from this year's team who
will be missing, when the 2019-20 season begins stands at eight. Technically,
some of those still have the ability to return to the team, but don't hold your
breath waiting for that to happen. Huggins is "fixing" it and, as we
expected, that means cleaning out the house and bringing in some new parts. Two
new Jr. College recruits were recently signed and expect more to follow in the
weeks to come. Next year will definitely be an interesting study to see what
kind of a team emerges from all the turmoil.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

check with Dick, but I am fairly certain the school was razed in 1986. I am
also certain that photo is not from February any year, because the grass is too
green, and trees in the background obviously have green leaves on them.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

is Marilyn Rae (Frank) Blake. I graduated from Richland High School, Johnstown,
PA, in 1972. I moved to Clarksburg in 1985 (Towers was still there). I taught
at Central as a sub in 1987 (Towers was gone). I taught at WIHS the last year
it was a high school, as BD teacher. I think that was 91-92. I taught
Gifted/Academic Enrichment at WIMS and Mountaineer Middle School from 2010-
2014 (Best 4 years of my teaching career). My granddaughter is in 7th gr at
WIMS this year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you for bringing this to our attention. I have had it corrected. It is
interesting to see that long after we are gone, our newsletters full of
memories of our town, friends, jobs, family, lives, schools, activities and
pictures of us will still be read by people in the future.... and often used as
reference material for writers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

March 7<sup>th</sup>, at the recent Clarksburg Picnic held in Sarasota Florida,
Mary Ann Donato (WI 1956) handed me the poem below.

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
2004, I thought it would be nice for the readers of the WI Newsletter to come
together to say thank you to Clarksburg (our hometown) for our schools,
teachers, principals, neighbors, whoever - but how could we do this? I started
collecting money for the WI Newsletter Scholarship and presented the first
scholarship in 2005 for the amount of $500.00. Now 14years later, with the
$6,000.00 scholarship we are giving to the lucky recipient at the 2019 Awards
Presentation Night at R.C. Byrd High School, we will have given back <b>$70,000.00</b> to Clarksburg, WV through
our support of education. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">This
just shows what a difference we can make when we pool our money for a common
reason! I thank you and I am sure all who know about this thank us too. We
should know the name of the 2019 recipient by the time you receive the May
issue. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I'd
like to thank Roleta, Bill and Jalon for their outstanding work on the WI Newsletter
for ~20 years. It has truly been a "Labor of Love". I also want to
heap praise on Sue Selby Moats and her cadre of ladies who have, for 13 years,
annually created a unique quilt to be raffled off each year to raise money for
the WIN Scholarship Fund. My sister, Sadie Graham (WI-1943) contributed squares
to that effort for many years and still quilts on a small frame in her room at
the WV Skilled Nursing Facility on Davisson Run.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Next,
my personal thanks go to all of you who submitted pictures of your family and
friends in support of my offer to subsidize the Quilt Raffle. I sincerely
enjoyed each one, particularly those that came with brief stories about your
Holiday life. </span></div>

gets tougher. I didn't really know the Ogren Twins (WI-1950) that well during
high school, but by reputation they were outstanding student-athletes and still
look like a formidable pair. (But where's the Xmas angle, Guys?) Besides, Paul
Horner, Sr. was my parent's landlord on the corner of Fifth St. & Horner Ave.
(<i>forever, it seemed).</i> (Hey, Paul - Sweet-looking wife &
daughter-in-law!). However, all that being said - my overall "Fave"
was young Penny (Christie) Johnson (WI -1960). I knew her older siblings,
("Punchy & Son-A-Tone") when Penny was the little "cute"
one and it appears that she is extending the family line with granddaughter,
Hope. (Mama "C" would be proud!) Emil, you're a lucky man.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

So, any personal bias is put aside. I was moved by the group headed by Ann
Williams (Victory - 1940) as our Sr. Citizen "Matriarch". (I've
always liked older women!) Great group! Then Linda Purcell (WI-1967) jumped in
with coordinated clothing and a really nice-looking group! I loved the look!
Very close, Linda, but no cigar! </span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I loved
the picture; the story; the size - everything about it just rang true to
"Xmas in Clarksburg" as I choose to see it. Maybe, as someone might
have said, "It's Xmas The Way It Ought to Be!" - every year. No bias
here. In spite of growing up in Harrison County, and returning home each of the
past 21 years, I don’t recall ever meeting a member of the Martino Family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">From
David Ellis (WI 1960)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I grew
up on Main Street, at the corner of Main and Summers. That is at the base of
the Main Street Hill, just above the Angle-In where Main and Pike split.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My
family owned the Ellis Brothers Market, which was located on Main Street right
across from where I lived. It was only opened until I was about 4 or 5 years old,
around 1947, but I remember the market.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
market had a butcher shop, and I remember getting a paper butcher’s hat just
about every time I visited the store. They were made of paper, with a mesh
hairnet-like top.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">We also
shopped at Harrick's Market, which was on Pike Street, at the corner of Pike
and Sumner. Sam Caputo ran the store, and I always called it Caputo's. But it
had been started by the Harrick family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I think
Sam Caputo married a Harrick and took over the grocery store sometime in the
1940's. That store was small and old with an uneven oiled wooden floor and a
pot-belly stove sitting in the middle of the floor. A couple of benches and
wooden chairs sat around the stove and I remember listening in on many weighty
discussions, mostly political, by the regular denizens that commanded the
cherished seats around the stove. There were a few barrels of items like beans,
rice, flour and pickles sitting on the floor, but most of the shelves holding
the groceries were behind the counter. Sam, or a store employee, would fill my
Mom's order, sometimes using a long pole with a grasping mechanism that could
be squeezed to grab cans and boxes on the higher shelves. When Sam got out of
the grocery store business, he went into the drive-in theater business at the
Skyline Drive-in on Route 19 South, towards Weston. Sam's brother, John, stayed
in the grocery store business, big-time, and opened the Garden-Fresh Markets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Rouches's
was more like a Farmer's Market. It sold only fresh fruits and vegetables.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In the
early 1950's, Joe Pulice opened a small grocery store on the corner of Chestnut
and Main Streets. We shopped there often. Joe later expanded the store at the
same location and it became more like a small supermarket, where you could move
up and down aisles gathering your own boxes and cans of food. The store had a
butcher shop in the rear and Joe's brother, Jimmy, was almost always waiting on
customers and cutting meat in the butcher shop. By then, we had to walk home from
Pierpont Grade School via Chestnut Street to cross at the stoplight. Later,
when I went to Central Junior High, I walked by the grocery on the way home. I
often stopped at Pulice's Market and perused the comic books which were
displayed at the front of the store. Joe would give me about 10 minutes, and
then ask, "You buying, or just looking? This isn't a library." That
was my hint to head for home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The section
in the March issue of the newsletter about neighborhood grocery stores in
Clarksburg brought back a lot of memories of my growing up there in the 50's
& 60's.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I grew
up in Broad Oaks. I remember the stores there. We had Stanalker’s on Haymond
Highway sitting on the edge of the bridge as it came from the Monticello area
and the Ice Plant. We had two stores further up Haymond Hwy---one directly
across from Alta Vista and the Broad Oaks Methodist Church and one on the
corner of Haymond Hwy and Point St. There was another one on the corner of
Harrison St and Tyler St.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">And
then there was the Broad Oaks Dairy Bar! A name and a place that anyone who
grew up in Broad Oaks knows and will never forget. Joe and Viola Bennett were
the owner/operators and 'surrogate parents' to all kids growing up in Broad
Oaks. Joe worked for the B&O Railroad in the 'Weights & Measures'
division and operated the Dairy Bar afternoons and evenings. Vi (as she was
known) ran the store in the morning & early afternoons until Joe got home.
Joe and Vi did not have any children other than every kid in Broad Oaks. If you
had any questions or concerns growing up (especially the guys) that you did not
or could not talk to your parents about, Joe was our 'Go to Guy'. I spent a lot
of time hanging out in front of the store. I could tell many stories about
those days and Joe, but one that touched me deeply I will share. Joe was a WWII
Navy Veteran and had served in the Pacific Theatre as a radio operator on some
island. When I received my orders for VietNam in the summer of 1968 and was
home on leave, I stopped in to see Joe as I always did when I was home. I told
him why I was home and where I was going. He reached in to his pocket and
pulled out his wallet and opened it up. He handed me a worn Sacred Heart Cloth
Scapula that had been given to him prior to his departure for duty in the
Pacific during WWII. He said, “Keep this on you at all times for protection.
And I expect you to bring it back to me”. Thankfully I brought it back to him.
When I think of my youth growing up in Clarksburg and when I drive by the Dairy
Bar when I visit home, Joe is always in my thoughts. A better Friend and
Mentor, I have never had since those days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Do not think
that Miss Hollins was ever married. She could teach typing and was a faithful
member of Clarksburg Baptist Church.</span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Miss Nutter
was an awesome English teacher, scared me to death, but I really learned a lot
in her class.</span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
only thing that I have left from Home Ec. class in a dishtowel, which we hemmed
and embroidered our initials on. When I was a freshman, Mutt Ash brought a
skunk to cook during the boy’s class. Not a happy teacher. She kicked him out
of class. I got kicked out of Math class the same day for arguing with the teacher
that the answer in the book was wrong. and I was right. Mr. McConkey agreed
with me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Jone’s
Grocery was on the corner by my home. I still have a little Easter toy they
game, named him "Puddin’ Head Jones”. Dave Saucer mentioned his grandfather's
store across from Alta Vista. This wonderful man became my grandfather also,
after I married Carl White. Grandpa Saucer was a saint on earth. No one went
hungry, money or not. This was evidenced by the customers' unpaid bill left
when he passed away. My Uncle, Truman Young had a meat marker on the corner of
Point and Harrison Streets. John Parrill opened a grocery store in the other
half of the building. The Dairy Bar belonged to John T. Flynn before Joe
Bennett. I remember when he raised hot dogs from a nickel to seven cents. WOW,
what would folks think now? Across from Stalnaker’s on Haymond Highway was
little store that I think was an A & P at one time. We shopped at the A
& P at the foot of Main Street. I remember Dad standing in line to get
salad dressing and coffee for us. Later we shopped at Thorofare on Buckhannon
Pike. They gave green stamps and there was green stamp store right next door. One
thing I remember about Chicago Dairy was city chicken.</span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">February
picture was Palace Furniture. Dave Saucer's Mom worked there, and they gave all
of the girl’s little cedar chests when we graduated.</span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Often
wonder about all the kids from our neighborhood: Tom and Jeannie Myers, Janet
Lemasters, Dave and Ann McMunn, Holly and Jerry McMunn, Spence White, Joe and
Martha Cruise, Punchy Christie, JoEllen Duling, Brassines, Cottrill, Wilsons,
Youngs, Waroblaks, Blands, Bob Taylor, Andy Rogers. I remember 2 little guys
were killed: Jack Squires in a sledding accident and the Ambrose boy hit by a
car crossing Rt.20 to get the paper.</span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
group of students that I remember the most were girls in my class and "Our
Club": Marilyn Lemasters, Jean Duffield, Barbara Gainer, Edith Dessent,
Barbara Young, Wand Kuhn, and Mary Jane Gaskins, may have left someone out. I
do not remember conducting much business, but do remember the awesome food our
Moms prepared for us. Maybe that is why we met.</span><br />

not recall ever seeing or hearing anything about that but even more to the
point, Miss Nutter was very proper and particular with everything including
never using nick names. Example: I was always Jacqueline in her class, never
Jackie so I truly believe had she been married she would have gone by Mrs. and
I don’t believe had she divorced as she would have changed her name back to her
maiden name back then.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

worked at Union National Bank for many years and Miss Nutter would come in to
borrow small amounts of money. One time she came in and asked me if I would be
her power of attorney. I asked her if she had any children and the answer was
no, I then asked her if she had any other relatives and the answer was, she had
a nephew or niece and I don’t remember which. I told her they are the ones that

married Nov. 30, 1934. In 1940 she is listed in the census as divorced. She was
hired at WI for the 1935 school year and is always listed as Virginia Nutter,
so the divorce (or separation, at least) must have occurred pretty soon after
the marriage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I had
shop class and remember the long walk to Central Jr. High School where shop
class was located. I made a wall gun rack out of walnut that held 3 rifles and
a drawer for ammo and cannot remember the teachers name. I still have the gun
rack but unfortunately, I can't provide a picture of it because my Dad who is
92 has it hanging on the wall of his log cabin out in Dodridge County and I am

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I can
remember building 3 tables when I was in shop, but I cannot remember whether it
was when I was at WI and/or Central Junior.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I can
remember that I made the first 2 tables and finished both of them in the same
year, and they went into the hallway in my parent's house on Broaddus Avenue. Size
wise, one of these tables fit perfectly under a mirror that hung in the
hallway; the other fit perfectly next to the front door and was used for a
telephone table. The third table was a 2-year project, as I started it late in
the school session of one year and finished it the following year. It was large
and long, and was used at some point to house a stereo system, with shelves
that housed plants and "knickknacks". The table by the front door was
replaced in 1996, when my mother decided to put a table from my Uncle's house
by the front door for the phone as it had a drawer that you could put papers
in. My "phone table" was moved to the basement. All 3 tables were
still in the house when we sold the house. My brother and sister asked me if I
wanted to take the tables and bring them back to my home in Virginia, but I
declined as I did not have any place to put them. SO, those tables were sent to
the auction house when we decided to sell the house, and decided to have items
sold at auction. I do remember that the bigger of the 3 tables was so strong
and sturdy that I sat on it to sand it down, before I put the finishing touches
on it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I did
not take shop at WI in high school, but did when I attended Central Jr. High. I
believe Mr. Corder was the shop teacher for 7th grade and Mr. Brown was the
teacher for 8th grade. The shop classes were held in a separate building beside
Central Jr. High.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In 7th
grade I made a rifle rack for my bedroom wall. It had some engraving on it and
had felt glued to the hooks to protect the rifles. In 8th grade I made a
tie/belt rack out of oak using the wood lathe. I have used that continually
since 8th grade, and recently installed it on the wall of a house we just built
in Bluffton, SC. (see photo above)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I also
remember that Mr. Brown was especially well known for his paddle. I remember it
being especially well crafted and scary looking. My friends and I experienced
that paddle one day in study hall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Hey
Roleta, the troops sure came through for the Newsletter this month--so many
posts from so many readers! Your mystery pic is none other than a <i>Carbide
Lamp</i>. I had one and I loved to mix the carbide chips and water in the
bottom and gas would come out the tiny opening in the center of the reflector.
Then you'd light it with a match or the wheel and "flint" on the
reflector and this brilliant flame appeared. Papaw Snyder wore one on top of
his miner’s cap like that pictured in his days as a coal cutting machine operator
in the Monongah Mines before he came to Clarksburg. Coon hunters like my
Stealey hunting and trapping pal Johnny Miller (WI '58) had big reflectors on
theirs to see in the pitch-dark woods when running after their hounds. I
especially liked taking mine into the old mine shaft around Stealey Hill. I
heard some guys would mix the carbide and water in an air tight container until
it blew up. Some even killed fish like that. Not me, mine was strictly for
night adventures that a flashlight couldn't touch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I would
guess that it is a carbide lamp. CaC2 plus H2O will Generate Acetylene gas
which is highly flammable and will burn very hot and bright making light. Some
had been used in mining but they could cause mine explosions by setting off gas
released by the mining process. Not used now!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the hat the miner is wearing. The whip around his neck was used to drive mules
hauling coal cars in the mines. Over 500 million tons of coal was used in the
US before the 1930’s and almost all of it was loaded one shovelful at a time by
the miners.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">This is a miner’s lantern. If I remember correctly,
the container unscrews from bottom and a powder is placed in side. The lid on
top opens to put either the powder or the water inside. Then, I believe mixed
with water, this creates a gas-like substance that comes out at the center of
the reflector. The little wheel at the side of the reflector contains a flint,
that when the wheel is spun with your thumb, creates a spark that ignites the
gas which gives off light for the miner to see in the mines. Same principle as
the old Zippo Lighters. Moving the leaver at the top one way or the other
adjust the brightness of the flame. When this is complete, the miner connects
this to his miner’s helmet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">At high
school graduation time, Bill earned a college scholarship from Consolidated
Coal Company, which entitled him to also work in the mines each summer to help
him earn money. We had one of those miner’s hats in our basement for years. I
think our children played with it. It never meant much to me because I had no
personal contact with any miners who went into the underground mines. I had an
uncle who lived in Philippi who drove a big dump truck back and forth to the
tipple and another uncle who worked as a supervisor or superintendent…not sure
which but neither ever went into mines. Anyway, just last year our son asked
whatever happened to the old miner’s hat that Bill had from when he worked in
the coal mines. Who would ever guess he would be interested? Well, he was so
interested that Bill (knew right where it was stored) and he gave it to our son
Victor. He was so happy to receive it that he hung it on the wall of his media
room in Ohio.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the March newsletter is a Carbide Lamp (I have one similar to the one shown). The
principle behind the light is water is stored in the top chamber. The lever on
top regulates how the rate that water drops into the bottom chamber which
contains calcium carbide. As the water unites with the calcium carbide, pure
acetylene is formed. The acetylene is flammable and used as the light source. The
equation is <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">CaC2 (calcium carbide) + 2 H2O
(water)</span></span><span style="color: #262626; font-size: 14.5pt;">→</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">C2H2 (acetylene)+ Ca (OH)2 (calcium hydroxide </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">used in
white wash) (I have a can of this which has never been opened.) To light the
light, one would hold his hand over the reflector letting the acetylene
concentrate behind his hand. A quick movement of his hand would cause a spark
from the sparker and light the acetylene producing the light.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">1.Esa Ahmad's
dismissal did not surprise me. Rumors had been circulating that Esa and others
were spending time in Charleston with various forms of mischief and, obviously
sacrificing opportunities for practice and academics. It now appears the
purging has had positive effects as Huggins says the team is paying attention
to coaching.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">2/3. Of
potentially returning player: I hear practically every name mentioned by
someone who expects that player to leave. I have no idea, but suspect that Sagaba
Konate may not return as either he and/or his brother seem to think he's the
next Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Chase Harler may opt to go down a level, perhaps West
Liberty, where he could excel, or he may decide to stay and compete. I think
he's better than many give him credit for, and he protects the ball better than
the other guards.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">4. I'd
prefer Konate would stay and play on a front line with Derek Culver and Oscar Tshiebwe,
and further develop for a possible NBA contract. That trio of bigs would be the
most talented ever at WVU. On the other hand, Sags may not want to be forced to
the side of the limelight by the other two and just go pro now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">5. I
see no reason for Beetle Bolden to transfer. He'll be a senior and is firmly
established as a proven contributor. If they can armor him up with braces
supporting every joint so he can stay healthy, he should retain his starting
position for next year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">1. I
was not surprised by the two players being dismissed from the team. I have seen
enough basketball in my time to recognize when there is something wrong with a
team's play. I commented to friends early on that there was a
"cancer" on this squad and I hoped that Huggins would remove it soon.
Were Ahmad and Harris the problem? I don't know, but they have certainly looked
more like a team recently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

5. I had the opportunity to wait long enough to answer the question to have seen
Beetle Bolden announce his departure. His leaving surprised me at first.
However, after giving it some thought, I decided that it was a smart move.
Bolden is not the point guard that Huggins needs. Jordan McCabe probably is.
Because of their small sizes, both would not play together regularly next year.
Exit Bolden.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Konate should have played this year. I think he got some bad advice and may
have been upset that Huggins wanted him to play the low post and not take
3-point shots. It is hard to remove dollar signs from a young man's mind, so,
as much as I'd love for him to stay, I expect him to leave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">4. I agree
with Terry that WVU could have the top front line in the country if Sags stays
for next season, but unless he does something to prove to me that he is an
"all in" team player, the team might be better off without him on the
roster.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As I
write this, the WVU Football team is well into their spring practice sessions,
the baseball team has begun their Big 12 season and Coach Bob Huggins is
methodically dismantling, what was probably his worst ever basketball team.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">A new
football coaching staff will have a major job of replacing Will Grier at
quarterback. The three players hoping to earn the starting position are Austin
Kendall, a redshirt junior, who transferred from Oklahoma, Jack Allison,
another redshirt junior and Miami transfer and Trey Lowe, a redshirt freshman,
who is probably the only true dual-threat QB of the three. Most fans were not
impressed with Allison during his limited playing time last season and were
happy to see Kendall land at WVU. I would love to see what Trey Lowe could do
in real game action. I miss seeing a running quarterback. Regardless, I like
what little I’ve seen and heard from the new coaches and, like most fans, I
look forward to a new beginning in the fall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">We have
previously discussed the fact that big changes are coming to the basketball
roster and they have started. In addition to the dismissals of Esa Ahmad and
Wes Harris, four current players have entered the NCAA transfer portal. They
are James “Beetle” Bolden, Trey Doomes, Lamont West and Andrew Gordon. If you
have followed Mountaineer basketball this season, none of this should surprise
you. What would be a surprise, is if some others didn’t leave the team.
Currently, Huggins has two recruits signed for next season and will have at
least four more scholarships available if all players in the transfer portal
leave the team. Whether a fifth is open depends on Sagaba Konate’s decision
about coming back in 2019-20. As you can see, we’ll need a program to identify
all the new faces by the time fall practice begins.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">This has to be the service
station on the way towards Adamston, owned by Carl Clovis Sr. Carl's son Carl
"Pooter" was a very dear friend of mine. He had a nice brother Jim.
"Pooter" was one of the funniest guys I've ever known. Always telling
a few jokes and laughing all the time. He was our "hot shot" DJ in
Clarksburg. He was a DJ in the "Sky Castle" overlooking Ellis's Drive-in.
I remember one evening he got my Mom up in that box and interviewed her. She
had the time of her life. "Pooter" left us way to early. What a great
guy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

March Mystery picture looks like the Esso Station over in Adamston on West Pike
street. My mother's sister lived in Adamston pretty close to that station, I'm
not too sure of it because it was such a long time ago and my memory is fading
more and more each year. But I do remember that we turned on a street right
after passing that station (or one like it) when we went to my aunt's house.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Carl later turned it over to his sister, Wanda Curtis and her husband. I pumped
gas at 34 cents a gallon in 1967. The “WALL” was beside it where guy n girls of

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Charles
Ferrell and his wife Donnie moved to Asbury last July. Donnie lived in Wilson
for about a week, but sadly she died on August 3. Their two children, Frank and
Kimberly, live in Germantown. A celebrated figure in his industry, Charles has
amassed more than 65 years of professional excellence. A consultant in the
field since 1995, he formerly served the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission as
a nuclear engineer from 1974 to 1995. Prior to this appointment, he was a
radiological physicist with the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission from 1956 to
1974. He commenced his career as a physicist and physical scientist with the
U.S. Army Chemical Corps from 1951 to 1954. To prepare for his illustrious
career, Charles earned a BS from Salem College in 1950. He subsequently
completed post-grad work at Vanderbilt University, West Virginia University and
the University of Maryland. Among many notable achievements, he was responsible
for the design of instrumentation to measure thermal radiation from nuclear
tests, the study of gamma radiation shielding, the evaluation of radioactive
sealed sources and devices for Atomic Energy Commission licenses, and the
evaluation of shipping casks for spent reactor fuel. He also coauthored five
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory publications. In recognition of his contributions to
the scientific industry, Charles won a U.S. Atomic Energy Commission
Radiological Physics Fellowship in 1954 and 1955. In addition, he has won
various volunteer service awards, as well as the James F. West Fellow Award and
Silver Beaver Award from the Boy Scouts of America. The recipient of the
Distinguished Citizen Outstanding Community Service Award by the City of
Gaithersburg in 2004, he was named to the Maryland Senior Citizens Hall of Fame
in 2001. Gaithersburg also gave him the Government Award for Character Counts.
He has also been highlighted in several editions of Who’s Who in America, Who’s
Who in Science and Engineering, Who’s Who in the World, and Marquis Who’s Who
of Top Scientists. He received the Health Physics Society, Public Services
Award in 2015, and is a charter member of this society. He has been a Boy Scout
leader for many years and also served many other positions in the Boy Scouting
field. He has been on a Gaithersburg ad hoc committee to build a new senior
center. He does volunteer work at the Epworth Methodist Church and has received
the church’s Flame and Cross Award. This busy man is in the process of
completing 20 years of work on a book about his varied U.S. Army career!
Charles’ apartment has many lovely or interesting examples of his variety of
interests: model tanks and airplanes which he built to help train military
personnel to identify both U.S. and enemy aircraft. He received a citation from

many thanks to you and Bill and your sister for the great event we were part of
this past Saturday in Sarasota. It was wonderful to see so many of my
classmates as well as others from WI and Notre Dame. I think we all thoroughly
enjoyed ourselves and were glad to be there. You deserve a great big medal for all
of the effort and work that you have put into creating this picnic and for your
tireless work in producing the monthly newsletter for these 20 years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Thank you Roleta for another fine Clarksburg Reunion
Picnic at the Twin Lakes Park, Sarasota. Your hot dog chili sauce is the best
in Florida. The high point was being able to spend time with two of my
childhood friends, (see above photo) Andy Vac (left) and Tommy Thompson (right), both WI 1970. My
mother has a picture of the three of us when we were still toddlers. Tommy
moved away prior to kindergarten, but Andy and I remained close playmates until
he moved out of Golf Plaza after grade school. </span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">While I am remembering childhood
friends, it was good to read Eann Hodges' (WI 1971) postings. I met her when we
were about three or four. I was exploring down Wayside Lane and found her
playing in her back yard. There was a high brick wall on one side of the yard.
If you were brave (or foolish enough), one could climb upon the wall and swing
out on a weeping willow branch. Eann, if you are reading this, I have a six-grade
memory of you and Stephen Cooksey at Jennifer Yoho’s (WI 1971).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

find each other at the picnic. I enjoyed the reactions each time one friend found another - the whole intention of the newsletter and especially the picnic.
It was great that Andrew Vac took time out of his busy day to come to visit us.
I think he won the prize for the number of hot dogs eaten in one day!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

my husband captured this picture of you and I standing there (at
Clarksburg/Sarasota picnic March 9 2019) waiting for others from my WI class

the event. It was a lovely day - only wish I hadn’t had a case of laryngitis.
Had fun anyway. You and I look pretty relaxed. Thanks for all the memories.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

came to the last one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">We just
got back home from the trip. I had a great time. Well, Sonja did also. I was
about to cancel the last minute because I didn't know if I could have a good
time without Fred for the first time. I really missed him but the people who came
up and said how sorry and shocked they were when they heard the news and told
me how much he meant to them, made me really glad I went. Also, he would have
wanted me there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">On the
way home, I started thinking about this being the last time this reunion will
happen. Then it hit me. I told Sonja we will not see 99% of these people ever
again. I mean some of them I have known since grade school. I told her that you
have held us all together for these many, many years. That without the hard
work that you, Judy, Jalon, and Bill have put into this, most of us would have
never made contact and kept up with each other. There were several who have passed
on during this time but were not forgotten<i>.</i> I know there were a few that
were not feeling up to par, which was the majority of us, that made it there. I
know several who would have made it if it was at all possible. They were not
forgotten either. Those should not feel like they were not missed. We worried
about the reason of them not making the reunion. Those we knew, if at all
possible, would have been right there with us. I agree, this should have been
the last one. It went out with a bang. Not only that, but a lot of us at my
age, who knows how many may be too sick to travel or some may not even be
living the next time around. God forbid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I just
wanted to let you know how much we appreciate the hard work you all put into
this. Believe me, I'm not sure who else could have done this and for the number
of years. I don't know if anyone enjoyed this as much as I.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you "one more time" for the WI/Clarksburg Sarasota Reunion. I believe
there were eight of us from Broadway - either St. Mary's/Notre Dame or RW
grads. Everyone had a great time mingling, reminiscing, and enjoying all the
wonderful food. The hot dog chili seemed to be the best yet! We appreciate the
effort you, Bill, and Jalon (and any others I missed) put into making this last
one so successful. Thank you again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I have
to say that I enjoyed this picnic more than any of the rest. This one turned

the picnics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">From
the time I arrived and sat down, I had someone sitting next to me and talking
about either the past or the future. I was so busy talking with my friends and
classmates that I didn’t even have a chance to have lunch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I don’t
think I will ever see any of these people ever again. That very thought has
hounded me ever since I returned. It is so sad but I guess I should feel
grateful for the opportunity to have seen these friends one final time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

can say that of all the picnics I have had in Sarasota, this was the BEST.
Perhaps it wasn’t the largest attendance but it was the most fun. I think we
all realized that we will probably never see each other ever again. I agree it
was a wonderful day but a thought was always in my head that so many regulars
who use to attend were not there and they were missed and it will just get
worse as time passes. I hope we will see each other again some time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">This is Alisha (Emrick) Setchell,
Jack's daughter. It is with sorrow that I write to you to let you know that my
father passed away yesterday morning, April 1, 2019.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">He had asked that I reach out to let
you know that he was not doing very well so that something could be sent out to
the WI Classmates. Unfortunately, his computer has not been working and it was
not until this past Saturday that I was even able to get on and finally get
into his email account.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I, much like my father, am a day late
and a dollar short.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Congestive heart failure was the
culprit. He went into the hospital on December 31 2018 with a-fib and was there
for about 4 days until they got it under control. He came home on January 4
2019 and seemed to be doing better. After about a week, he began having a lot
of swelling in his lower legs, arms and scrotum (a tall-tale sign of CHF). He
went back into the hospital on January 21 2019 and had been in and out of the
hospital and in skilled nursing facilities since. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Hospice was called in on Feb 28th. We
sought medical opinions from WVU Hospital in Morgantown, Cleveland Clinic in
OH, and the VA here in Clarksburg, but he was in advanced stages of CHF and his
kidneys were also failing (and he did not want to go through dialysis), so
there was just not a whole lot that could be done as far as treatment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">For the last month, we have spent lots
of time together with him. We finally made it through about 8 Kodak Carousels
of slides that he has wanted to show me for a long time and we took a drive
around Clarksburg one afternoon so that he could show me all of the places that
he had lived as a kid and teenager.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As you know, my dad was one heck of a
guy. He always said he was the only guy in Clarksburg with enough hot air to
blow up an onion sack, and this past weekend, I believe he blew up his final
sack with words of encouragement and admonition to all of us (his sons, his
grandchildren and great grandchildren, in-laws, my mother, and myself), assured
us of his love and gratitude for us, and made sure we knew exactly what he
wanted for his funeral services. I know that he was at peace with God and that
he knew the Lord and I believe he was finally ready to go Home. He took his
last breath at 3:57 a.m. on April 1st.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I know you know how much the WI
Newsletter meant to him and I love looking through the blog and seeing the
contributions that he has made in the past. If you would, please pass the word
on that he has passed. And thank you for all of the work that you do for the WI
Newsletter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

active in the Clarksburg Tree of Life Synagogue and graduated from Washington
Irving High School in 1967 before heading off to college in North Carolina. He
obtained degrees from Duke University and the University of North Carolina
before beginning his career as a business executive. While his work took him to
many cities in the U.S., his main residence was Cincinnati, where he lived
following his retirement. He had specified that his corneas be given to others
upon his death, after which he was to be cremated. The family requests that
persons wishing to honor Mark may do so by contributing to a charity of their
choice in his memory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Growing up in the 40's
and 50's, our family shopped at Broadway Market in east Clarksburg. It was
located at the bottom of Broadway Ave. Still many small grocery stores at that
time. The owner was Patsy Guzzi (and wife Thelma). They had charge (before charge
cards) and delivery. You could call in an order and pick it up or have it
delivered. I grew up a block from the store, and as a youngster walked through
back-yards many, many times to get bread, milk, etc. On some Saturdays, my Dad
would deliver around east Clarksburg for Patsy. They were good friends. At the
time, it was a school bus stop for RWHS. Winter days we waited inside the store
for the bus. I can vaguely remember square tins of loose cookies from which you
could choose and mix-up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Once while playing
basketball on Nutter St., I put a pretty wide one inch cut in my knee. I may
have been 10 or 11. Ran home. Mom said go see Patsy. Went to the store, he
looked at it, said I didn't need stitches, took me behind the meat counter,
pinched it together, and taped it! Healed nicely! I'll always remember that
care! And the store.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I remember that most of
my family grocery shopping "back in the day" was done at the Garden
Fresh Market. There was one on Pike Street at the corner of Pike and Chestnut
Streets that was within walking distance of where we lived on Broaddus Avenue.
There was also another Garden Fresh out on Pike Street, just past Minard’s,
that we would also frequent. I remember that we sometimes went to Kroger’s, but
I am not sure about where Kroger’s was at the time. We also went to the A &
P (I think) Grocery Store located on Pike Street just around the corner from
Notre Dame High School. I remember that there was a fire in the business above
the A & P at some time and people were all standing out in the parking lot
collecting items that were being thrown out of the building to help stop the
fire. Those items were materials used to make bras.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I lived in Broad Oaks
from 1940 into 1957, on the lower half of Point Street between Harrison Street
and Vermont Avenue. There were three grocery stores within a block and a half
when I was in grade school at Alta Vista. Mazzie’s, owned by my 2<sup>nd</sup> <i>and</i>
4th grade teacher, Loretta Mazzie, was at the corner of Point and Haymond
Highway, across from the Broad Oaks Methodist Church. Barrack's was at the
corner of Harrison and Point, and Jones' was on the corner of Harrison and
Tyler Avenue. Between the latter two was the Broad Oaks Dairy Bar
(confectionary), aka Joe's (famous for his hot dogs and as my de facto study hall).
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Across from Alta Vista on
Haymond Highway was another grocery, name of which escapes me. Others may
recall differently, but there may have been yet another grocery at the corner
of Haymond and Harrison. The building then was occupied by Wuchner's who sold
grocery store equipment, I think.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I recall my Grandmother
shopping at Parrack's, then Jones'. On rare occasions we might shop at the
A&P at East Main and Monticello, and even rarer at a Kroger on West Main.
(Or was that another A&P I'm sticking with Kroger.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In my neighborhood, if my
memory serves, Parrack's was the first to close, followed in order by Jones'
and lastly Mazzie's, maybe by then under newer ownership.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Jones' corner served as
the daily drop off point for Exponent, Telegram, Pittsburgh, and other papers.
Sunday mornings before papers arrived, we newsboys could often be found playing
hockey with crushed cans aimed for the four corner storm drains (There may have
been some later rainwater overflows from the tin cans accumulated below). The
second that papers were dropped, we hurried to open their wrapping wires with
pliers, packed 80-100 papers in our canvas carrier bags and took off briskly,
folding papers between houses. Customers would be calling the circulation
manager if their paper wasn't promptly delivered.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Being of a certain age,
and privileged to grow up in Clarksburg in the 40’s and 50’s, I have fond
memories of the neighborhoods and the small family markets. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">There were eight small
stores in Broad Oaks alone and in the other neighborhoods I imagine it was very
much the same. They were small family businesses that carried most of the
essentials that our families needed. My Grandfather Saucer owned and operated
the Haymond Hwy Market right across the street from Alta Vista Elementary
School. I can remember as I was going to AV, I would go there at lunch time and
after school to hang out and help out if I could. Home delivery was standard
operation (No FedEx, UPS or Amazon Fresh in those days) and I would go with my
Grandad in his car to deliver groceries to homes. We would take the groceries
into their house and put all the goods on their kitchen table. In the early
forties (WW2) there were a lot of shortages and rationed items that were not
available all the time. What really impacted us kids was the shortage of
candies. The shops seldom had any so we kids would check the stores daily to
see if there had been any candy deliveries. If we were lucky there may be some
candy bars so we would run home and tell our Moms. They would usually give us
some funds to buy a few bars. (Candy bars then were 5 Cents each not like $1.50
as today) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">A more “elite” store in
Clarksburg in those days was the Chicago Dairy uptown on 4th Street (Chicago?).
It just occurred to me after all these years, why the “Chicago” Dairy? That
would be a good mystery question. Not what is it, but why/how did it get its
name?) It was the largest market in town and carried many more specialties than
the little neighborhood stores. I was always fascinated with the large barrel
of pickles in the middle of the store. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Then came the 50’s and
the new big kids in town were the A&P, Kroger and other Supermarkets. The
little neighborhood stores struggled on as they could but mostly faded away.
And now we have the newer growth of mega <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Markets: Wal-Mart, Sam’s
Club, Costco, Amazon Prime and many more that are putting pressure on older
markets. Adding on, when I was small my sister and I would play the game of
“Grocery Store” with my Mother at night or in the car. I still use it to play
with my young grandchildren. Maybe you know and use it yourselves with your
grandkids.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My turn, “I am going to
the store and buy something that starts with an “A” or you pick the letter for
the item you select. They query with responses and questions until someone
guesses the correct answer like “Apples.” It can be fun for littles ones and
you can modify it many ways. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">You asked your readers
for their memories of Clarksburg's grocery stores. I grew up in Stealey in the
1960s, and my father did almost all of our shopping at the old A&P Store on
West Pike Street. I usually went with Dad to "help”. My father loved
grocery shopping because he almost always met someone he knew from his work at
Union Carbide or from the church we went to on Duff Street. Grocery shopping
was very much a social event back then when you met and chatted with your
friends and neighbors. My main memory of the old A&P is the smell of coffee
that permeated the store. I was too young to drink coffee, but I liked the
smell.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I can recall four small
stores within walking distance of my house in Stealey. One was a little store
across the street from Morgan Elementary School. It was at the corner of Duff
and Davis. Our principal, Mr. Sheets, had an ulcer (I wonder why?), and would
sometimes give me some change to go to the store across the street from Morgan
and buy him some milk, which apparently helped ease his pain. Further down the
street on Duff Avenue was Kelly's grocery store. My father would always go
there after church to buy The Sporting News and talk sports with the folks who
owned the place. There was also a little store on Joseph Street between Duff
and Woodland. It was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Woods. They were on my paper route
and were nice folks. It was a very tiny store and closed down decades ago. On
Euclid Avenue was Wagner's Grocery Store, and this store was important to
people in Stealey because they would deliver groceries to the elderly and
disabled. It was pretty big for a family owned operation. I remember that
Charlie Wagner was a butcher, and Wagner's store was popular for its meat. Dad
often bought ground beef there. The delivery driver was named Dale, I believe.
Probably every kid who grew up in Stealey in the 1960s remembers Wagner's
Grocery Store because most of us walked past it on our way to Morgan School.
Most of us would stop there and buy gum, coke, candy bars, and my favorite treat--candy
cigarettes. Over the years I spent a lot of my parents' money on junk food at
Wagner's store. None of the stuff had any nutritional value, it was loaded with
sugar, and I loved it. Stopping at Wagner's store to buy some Bazooka bubble
gum and candy cigarettes on my way to school is one of my fondest childhood
memories. And, even though I consumed a ton of sugar, I still have my teeth!
Those little neighborhood stores were an important part of a thriving, prosperous
community, which Clarksburg was in the 1960s. I'd love to go back and relive
just one day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

neighborhood stores. Roseanna’s (sp) was at the corner of Haymond Hwy and
Harrison St. My parents and grandparents both had tabs there and would
occasionally send me there to pick up items for them. There was an IGA store on
Harrison St. I think it was on the coroner of Tyler Ave. I worked there one
summer delivering groceries in their station wagon. I remember the owner was
also a butcher. He had slabs of beef in the refrigerator that he would keep
until the meat was aged. We don’t get that today except at gourmet stores.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Miss Florence Hollins was
a true Southern lady. She and "Mammie", her mother, would return to
Clarksburg every fall after spending the summer at their Kentucky home. Their
winter home in Clarksburg was an apartment at 527 Hornor Avenue. I do not know
how long they followed this routine except that Miss Hollins was teaching at
Washington Irving when my father graduated in 1923 and was still teaching when
my sister graduated in 1954.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Florence Hollins was an
outstanding Commercial teacher as they were called in those days. I was one of
her Typewriting I students in my sophomore year. The typing room was down a hallway
on the first floor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I immediately fell in

typewriting classes as we knew them are a thing of the past. They have evolved

to type. In fact, to this day, my IBM Wheelwriter sits here near my computer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I also had Miss Hollins
for Typing 1. She kept good control of a room of sophomore boys and girls. She
was patient and kind. I used my typing skills in college to type out some
papers but never typed again until 20 some years later when Bill and I started our
business. Bill was the salesman and creator of our business and I ran the one-person
office. I didn’t remember much typing and had no idea how to type a business
letter. I went to a garage sale and found a typing book. I re-taught myself to
type using a manual typewriter and lots of bottles of white-out. We had no
copier so I used carbon paper. Oh, what a mess. When Bill decided it was time
to start a company of his own, he left a good-sized company which had several
ladies who would type anything and everything needed in the office. Now he was
putting up with a 1<sup>st</sup> year typist (who would indeed have failed
Typing1.). This caused many arguments and I left the office crying and mad to
walk the mile home many times. I thought of Miss Hollins many times and wished
I had gone on to take more business courses from her. But little did I know I
would need any of those skills as I planned to be a teacher like my mother and
daddy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

(the boys study hall, I think they had one for the girls also, but I was never
in it) you would go to the top floor of the building and then go the rear of
the building down the hall on the right-hand side of the building. The person
that I can remember supervising the study hall was Coach Castellana, although I
would guess that other people were in charge at different times of the day. I
don't know how much studying got done there although it was quiet and orderly
enough. I didn't study much in High school and usually would go to the library
and read something like a science fiction book there. The entrance to the
library was in the study hall room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

though.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Others have written about
the location and layout of the study halls so I won’t repeat their works. My
friend Parker Fulton (WI 59) came back from a Ramp Festival with some raw ramps.
For those that don’t know ramps are a very pungent member of the leek family.
Parker and I ate some of these ramps before going to a six-period study hall.
It wasn’t very long until the study hall monitor, I think it was a new P.E.
instructor, ferreted out it was Parker and myself. He threw us out of study
hall and made us sit on the window sills overlooking the auditorium. Later in
my senior year I was the recipient of a teaching scholarship. If Mr. Cubbins
saw me in the hall, he would ask if my lessons for the next day were done. If I
answered “yes”, he would give me permission to skip six period study hall. It
didn’t happen too often but it was nice when it did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The faulty
"supervisor" was Mr. Duckworth. Looking out the windows one could see
many of the buildings along Main Street. Because of being at a higher altitude
we could see the tops of several of them. The one, at this time, was the top of
Saint Mary's nurses training center. Several students, knowing they were above
observation (wrong), they were sunbathing to get an "all over" a tan.
Three or four guys were stuck to the windows. In a teenage boy's mind, from
that distance, they may think that they were seeing more than they really were.
Mr. Duckworth came to the window, took a long stare, and ran the boys back to
their seats. It was only after that, word spread to other boys. True? or false?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My main memory of study
hall was from my sophomore year. Study hall was in the auditorium and Coach Al
Castellana was the monitor. One day I was near the back of the auditorium
listening to my transistor radio through an earpiece. Somehow, I turned my head
quickly and the plug came out of the radio and “Chain Gang” by Sam Cooke blared
loudly for a few seconds till I turned off the radio. Coach Al came running up
the aisle as all the students in the front turned and looked at me. Dave McCue was
sitting beside me and he turned and looked back at the two rows behind us.
Quick thinking! I did not get caught. Thanks Dave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in study hall with me. She always asked to be excused and would make a quick
run to the grocery store behind WI. We all looked forward to getting our
pepperoni rolls. Eleanor would collect our money and off she would go. I do not
remember the teacher, but I recall she was young. She soon caught on and tried
her best to stop this from happening. Those that knew Eleanor, knew she could
be intimidating. The teacher was over her head, ha- Eleanor always found a way
to outsmart her. Those that knew and loved Eleanor miss her. She made
everything fun and exciting and she certainly had more guts then the rest of
us!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The only water fountain I
can remember was built on the lot at the corner of Main and Second St., after
the Sears building was torn down, so that would have been in the early 70s. It’s
still there, but the water is turned off in it, as well as I can remember. When
it was newer, someone loaded it up with some kind of soap or detergent on at
least one occasion and it overflowed with suds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

telling me about your newsletter. I stayed up late last night "going down

the WI class of 1958 -- Joe Powers and his foster sister Frances (WI 1958).
Both deceased so it brought back a lot of memories. It's great that you have a
scholarship fund going also. Looking forward to reading more newsletters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Newsletter every month. Several graduates have requested that I place this info
in the newsletter with the hope some others enjoyment can come of it. After
retirement I took up a Disc Jockey position at a local public radio station. I
have enjoyed doing it for going on 6 years. The station is non-profit, and I do
it for fun and the love of the music. I have a show on Sunday evenings from 6-9
PM EST playing rock & roll from the 50's and 60's exclusively. Music brings
back the memories and good times of the past. Hopefully a few or many will get
the enjoyment I get out of the music. The radio station itself plays strictly
50's, 60's & 70's music only, 24 hours a day with volunteer, live DJ's on
in intermittent peak hours. We steam all over the world. Below is the web site
containing info on getting connected into the music via computer/phone. We are
located on the north side of Dayton Ohio. I left Clarksburg in 1966 at Uncle
Sam's request and get back a couple of times a year to have my Minard's &
pepperoni roll fix. You can place Dayton oldies or WSWO in your browser and get
to the web site or follow the yellow brick road below. Again, this a public
station nobody gets paid, no profit of any kind, all funds received are used
for maintenance and to keep the lights on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As an employee of the U.S. Foreign Service, I had been transferred from
Copenhagen, Denmark, to Ottawa, Canada, in September 1985. Three months later,
on a bitter cold winter night (-40<sup>0</sup>; whether in Fahrenheit or
Celsius, it is the same!), my agency hosted an official Christmas dinner party
for our liaison counterparts in the Canadian government. I was seated at a
table for 10; I strategically seated myself at the far-left corner to enable
the couples to be seated together which left the spot on the end for the other
lone guest. Having just arrived in this country three months previous to that
evening, we engaged in conversation about my former assignments and I had asked
numerous questions about Canada. Once the official portion of the function had
concluded my dinner partner asked me to join him by the fireplace and we enjoyed
an after-dinner drink. Two weeks later on New Year’s Eve, he called and invited
me to attend the fireworks display at midnight on Parliament Hill. From that
time onward we had a standing “date” every Friday night to play racquetball and
go out to dinner. Once my tour of duty had come to an end, I resigned from the
government and remained in Canada, first on a student visa; three years later I
obtained my permanent resident status and eventually my Canadian citizenship.
Both of us having been previously married we were hesitant to rush into
marriage, but we eventually tied the knot before our friends and family in October
2001.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I attended Kelly Miller
during my senior year 1968. That was when you attended school half the day and
then worked half a day. My first job was with Fragale Insurance Agency on the
9th floor of the Goff Bldg. I would sit at my desk and collect payments and
answer the phone. This went very well until he was short $10. out of the
payment money. No, I did not take it. LOL But I went on to have a successful
career in the insurance business for 35 years. I also worked the catalog desk
at Sears sending orders thru on the teletype machine, which I said I knew how
to work, but didn't even know what it was. I told the girl training me that it
was different that the one I used, so in those days, they just showed you how
to use it and done. You didn't need a 4-yr. college degree and 5 yrs.
experience to get an entry level job. As far as living and growing up in
Clarksburg, that is the reason I now watch the Christmas Lifetime movies. Small
towns, sidewalks, snow falling downtown, music playing, all the neighbors out
Christmas shopping. It was a Beaver Cleaver kind of life. One our grandchildren
will never ever know and enjoy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Thanks for that link to
the WV High school scores web site. I had tried to gather that information for
some local teams (but was never able to set it up in a usable way like that),
and it is a tedious job. A lot of the scores are not that easy to track down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">You would think that any
true sports fan would be excited at this time of year. The college and high
school basketball seasons are winding down. It is tournament time for the preps
and March Madness is right around the corner. College baseball has already
started and the spring game is about a month away for the football teams.
What's not to like about all of this? Nothing, really.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">However, for me, something
is missing and most of you can guess what it is. Our Mountaineer basketball
team is not competing for anything. Their tailspin continues. Since my last
comments to you, two of the most experienced members of the team have been
dismissed for some sort of rule violation(s). The two best players are out for
the season and a team of mostly first year players and freshmen are trying to
compete in the Big 12 Conference and the results are just as expected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">So, where do we go from
here? Really, no one knows. Not even Bob Huggins. Some of the remaining players
have shown improvement, which could help next year. Huggs would like to see a
couple more wins before wrapping up the season, but those will be hard to
achieve. Regardless, it will be a long spring and summer. </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Expect to see more roster
changes before next fall. Some Jr. College additions would not be surprising.
At least two of the 2019 recruits will be welcome additions to the team and
could play right away.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My prediction----Huggins'
team will be competitive next year. I feel that he learned something this year.
That is to pull the plug on the under-achievers earlier and go with the players
who want to play team ball. If that happens, I'm sure I'll not be bored this
time next year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

doing. I like them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">And you asked for
pictures from the season. Here’s a shot of Ron and Don Ogren, WI class of 1950.
Picture was taken shortly after the New Year, in Spring Hill, Florida where I
live. Ron lives in Orchard Park, NY and likes a vacation in the south every few
years. Don and his wife, Rosemary, celebrated their 63rd anniversary on
December 31st. Sorry, I will not be at
the picnic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">That is a good picture
(Don sent) at a recent event in Spring Hill, FL. but it would be more
interesting if it could be compared to the olden days of 1950. I don't think
that others would offer similar pictures at our old ages. In fac, I've never
seen you publish pictures of us old folks. Pictures of old folk are seldom
flattering.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Sharon and I will also
have to miss this last ever picnic, but I can honestly say that we have really
enjoyed all of the picnics that we have attended, and there have been several.
Thank you so very much for making our Florida vacations more enjoyable. We met
so many old friends there!</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Massenberg, who was the first gay person I had ever met. His partner, Jerry,
used to bring his lunch to him. I thought his decorating ideas were impressive
and he was so kind to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The February picture is
the Palace Furniture store. I don't really have any memories of it, I never set
foot in it in my life. I hear someone is in the process of converting it into
residential apartments, although I think a previous redevelopment plan a few
years ago didn't get carried out. I don't recall when the furniture store
closed probably the late 70's/early 80's when everything else seemed to move
out of town. I was never in the little toy store in the white building either.
I noticed in the picture they were featuring wringer washers in the front
window. My mother had one of them when I was a kid, but I don't think they make
them anymore.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I believe the mystery picture for February is the
Palace Furniture store. I just remember that they sold high quality furniture,
so to buy something there was buying a piece that was expected to last a life
time. I believe they had a layaway as most of the furniture was expensive. If
memory serves me right – I bought the baby bed all three of my children used.
It was white with one end Plexiglas so you could look in. It was very modern at
the time and well-made as it lasted through 3 children.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

former Palace Furniture Company located on West Main Street. The store was
closed in the early 1980's and I believe it has been or will be converted into
affordable housing for seniors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The mystery picture for
February is the Palace Furniture store. Though I was in the store dozens of
times while growing up in Clarksburg, my best memories are the gorgeous
Christmas displays in the windows during the Christmas season. Elves,
princesses and princes, Santa, toy trains, reindeer and all things holiday
moved about in the displays. It was magic and everyone in Clarksburg walked by
at least once per season to enjoy the beauty. It was a time of innocence and
wonder, hopes and dreams for so many children. I sometimes wish I could see
today's world through such beautiful filters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I think the January
picture is the Palace Furniture Company store. In our day, it was very popular
and consisted of several floors of selections. I was married in 1964, and we
bought furniture there over the years we lived in Clarksburg. The only person
we knew well in the store (and would stop in and say "Hi" to) was Barbare
Libicer Oliverio (R-W 1958). She worked in the first-floor office/billing as I
remember. She was married to my classmate David Oliverio (R-W 1957).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

furniture during my tenure living in Clarksburg. Palace Furniture was located
on Main Street, just below James & Law, and I think that Parson-Sounders
was on the corner just above Palace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I just want to share some of my thoughts since the
reunion. We lost two classmates who attended the reunion since that time. One
was Linda Spelsberg Wolfe of Maryland who passed away in December. The other
one was Melinda “Linda” Moore Pritchard of Shinnston who passed away in
January. Who would have thought these two women would be gone so soon? Linda
Pritchard was instrumental in forming the plans for our reunion. She became
sick soon after with cancer so others gladly picked up the reins. There may be
others who have died but these are the two we know for sure. The total is 60 if
my count is correct. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

a list of those in our class who had passed away. Frankly I was so shocked to
see how many were gone. Some of you are asking “what did you expect?” I guess
when I saw it written it hit me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">A good friend of mine posted on Facebook that she had
graduated 30 years ago and her daughter had graduated 2 years ago. Her
daughter’s class has more deaths than the one 30 years ago. Many of these young
deaths were a result of drug overdose, suicide/depression and drunk driving.
The mother asked what has happened to our nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">It is a very sad state of affairs. I won’t preach
about this, but I would like to encourage parents and grandparents not to have
a blind eye to the problem. Please stand up for good morals, hope and faith and
of course show love to one another even if you have different political views
or different faiths.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Perhaps others have some good ideas on this subject. In
the meantime, love and enjoy your family and friends.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My name is Larry....Fred Alvaro's brother. Being the baby
brother, I always looked up to Freddie with the deepest respect. He taught me
so much about life: dating, sports, springboard for advice and developing an
early sense of maturity dealing with his personal leanings and mistakes and
passing on down to me. You and your husband knew him quite well, but many
others did not. Therefore, I felt compelled to pass on a little information
about him that maybe you could pass on to others at your Clarksburg picnic.
Freddie was a very smart man, witty, but sometimes lacked a little common
sense. For example, the time he heated a boiled egg in the microwave; a time
when he was in college, had his girlfriend push his stalled car since she did
not have her driver's license; the smartness of having two white wall tires and
two black wall tires, you put two of the same on one side as you only see one
side of a time!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">For his athleticism, pound for pound he was a great athlete
and always excelling in form. I was one of the bat boys for their 1955 Babe
Ruth star baseball team and I remember one night, in one game, he hit two home
runs in the deepest part of Clearlite field. But I also remember the time they
had two a day sessions of football practice and after morning session, he came
home for lunch with a black eye and later that evening came home with another
black eye. However, Freddie never quit anything in his life that he had
started.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As I had mentioned earlier, he was not the biggest athlete,
but his huge heart made up for the difference. Being of a family of hard
blue-collar working parents, no matter their financial circumstances, they
would see that we received our college education. Freddie was the first in our
family the Alvaro families to receive a college degree. With his 1st. pay
check, he purchased our parents a washer and dryer so that they wouldn't have
to hurt their backs lugging clothes up and down the basement stairs. I also
remember his first Christmas with his pharmacy job, he would go to the front of
the court house and pass out Christmas envelops with money to those less
fortunate people so that they could have a nicer Christmas with their family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I could go on for hours with the goodness of this
kind-hearted man. However, I think that many, from some of these stories can
get a better understanding of this man. Freddie was quite modest about his
accolades, but he would, humbly in his own quite way, accept within himself. He
was deep into his faith but as with his other endeavors, would go silent to
others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">We all lost a great, kind, big hearted loving man and a
great brother to look up to. I know he is up there asking those that he likes, a
million and one questions so that he can know them better and hanging out with
Gene Donaldson, Bobby Secret and others and talk about their " Field of
Dreams".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">You did ask
about first jobs. I worked at W T Grant on Main Street as a clerk when I was in
high school. I worked for Bob Grimes at Clarksburg Finance Company during
summers when I was in college. Working in there was interesting. Back then
nothing was automated. Typing was done on a manual typewriter and advertising
was put into envelopes and sealed with a wet sponge. Bob used to say that he
retailed money. People got small loans using furniture or cars as collateral. I
cannot remember the interest rate, but it was much higher than a bank loan. His
daughter Ruthanne worked as a camp counselor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I was very saddened to see the obituary for my friend,
Barbara Wilmoth, in the January newsletter. I have always owed Barbara a huge
debt of gratitude for pointing me to an employment opportunity at the IRS
National Computer Center in Martinsburg, WV, where she worked. My entry level
job there as a clerk in the tape library turned into a 32-year career with
wonderful advancement opportunities and a great retirement life that would have
been very different if not for her assistance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="yiv3968878119msonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I was also reminded of how much my family enjoyed the
friendship of Barbara’s parents, Glen and Maxine. Maxine ran the Clay Street
Market, right beside my home at 313 Clay Street. She always had a huge smile
for everyone in the neighborhood and it gave me an immense feeling of freedom
to be able to go into Maxine’s and put a bottle of RC Cola on my mom’s tab I
also remember my summer Saturday mornings consisting of my mother handing me a
50 cent piece for my weekly allowance and taking it directly to Maxine to buy
50 baseball cards wrapped in those packets of deliciously smelling chewing gum.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">There was a discussion recently on a Facebook page
dedicated to Clarksburg history of all the neighborhood grocery stores. For me,
the main ones from my time living on Hart Street were the one run by our family
friend, Mrs. Huber, at the bottom of Duncan Avenue just before Winding Way and
the store at the corner of Duff and Duncan where I stopped on my way home from
Morgan School to see the butcher to get a bone as a treat for my dog. When I
think of what made Clarksburg such a warm and wonderful place to grow up in,
these little stores are always part of that nostalgia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I read with interest the article on “Gallettes” in
January’s newsletter. I, too, have eaten
many gallettes in my lifetime and I continue to do so today. I have fond memories of my grandmother making
not one, but several batches of gallettes every Christmas season, one of her
annual traditions which I have kept alive for nearly 30 years since her
death. My grandmother’s cookies have
been around the world! When I could not
be home for Christmas, my mother would send a container of gallettes to me
wherever I was posted during my career with the U.S. federal government: Washington, D.C., Argentina, New York City,
Denmark and now Canada (Ottawa) where I have lived for the past 33 years. The dough is basic: flour, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, butter
and vanilla. The cookies are made with lots
of love and, in particular, lots of patience!
Over the years I have modified the recipe by increasing the amount of
vanilla (from the original recipe) and adding ground cinnamon. My recipe makes at least 8 dozen cookies;
however, you can easily cut it in half!
As previously mentioned, the dough must be made the day before, kept in
the refrigerator for at least 24 hours and then made into small balls and baked
on a waffle iron (one or two at a time, depending on the size of the iron you
have). </span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I have my grandmother’s home-made
iron (see photos including a few cookies on the side!). My waffle iron is made to cook on an open
fire or on top of a gas stove. However,
it can be used on an electric stove, which I had done until recently. I have not been able to use my waffle iron
the past two years as we now have a glass top stove in our new home! So, I had to revert to a commercial electric
waffle maker. This just does not have
the same traditional sentiment passed down to me, the memories of my
grandmother diligently baking her cookies over a gas stove. My husband and I make the cookies every
December and we share them with friends and professional colleagues. They always ask for more!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I have had

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">A few years
ago, when I was having one of my "local WI dinners" here in Northern
Virginia, Elizabeth SWIGER Layton and her husband (who still live in
Clarksburg) were in attendance. After dinner, Elizabeth asked me if she could
follow me back to where her cousin lived in Annandale. Of course, I said yes,
and she made a left to go to her cousin's house once we got into Annandale, and
I went on home. Several months later, a man moved into the house across the
street from me. At some point he introduced himself to me as BILL PETERS (not
the one featured in the January edition of the newsletter) and stated that he
was from Clarksburg, West Virginia and graduated from R-W. Several months after
that, I saw my classmate (Elizabeth SWIGER Layton) visiting the man, so I went
out to talk to her to find out why she knew him. THEY WERE COUSINS, and the
night that Elizabeth followed me back to Annandale after our dinner, it was his
house that she was going to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Another
experience: My wife and I go to craft shows in November and December, and one
that we frequent every year is at a church in Annandale, right up the street
from where we live. Several years ago, when we were at the craft show, we ran
into Karen PLEASANT Booker who graduated with me from WI in 1961. She was there
with her mother, who it was nice to meet. Several months after that, my wife
and I had dinner with Karen and her mother. AND THEN, lo and behold, my wife
and I went to that same craft show this past November and (you probably guessed
it) we ran into Karen and her mother again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Barbara
WILMOTH Falkenstine (who unfortunately just passed away) has been one of my
regular attendees at my "local WI dinners" at various locations here.
Barbara lived in Leesburg, Va. and the last time that we had our local WI
dinner, she was in attendance via riding in from Leesburg with Bob Swiger. A
few months ago, I had taken my wife over to have a test done at an office
building in Fairfax, Va. As we were walking out of the office building, I heard
some lady say "Well, Hello Mr. Teter". YES, it was Barbara. I did not
recognize her at first, because of the fact that she worked at the hospital in
Leesburg and lived in Leesburg, and I was just not expecting to see her in
Fairfax, Va.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The girls' study hall was on the third floor in the
back of the building, on the left side as you face the front of the school. It
connected with the library. The boys' study hall was in the same location on
the right side of the building. There were approximately 60 desks in the room,
but the room was rarely full. My only memory of attending study hall includes
Miss Nutter as the monitor sitting at a desk in the front center of the room.
Therefore, it served my best interest and self-defense to become a library
assistant during that time slot. Who needed to be belittled or abused for fifty
minutes a day or watch it happening to someone else? I thoroughly enjoyed my
time as a library assistant and when we weren't busy, I could sit at a table in
the library and work on my homework without fear of looking at anyone the wrong
way. Most of the time I was in high school I didn't have study halls as I
recall. I had other things to do like lab assistant, library or such, all of
which were a whole lot more fun.</span></div>

went down the aisle toward the back of the room and then back up the next, etc.
Students(?) watched the phantom Road Runner and carried the HHHuuumm back and
forth in the aisles. Clay B. Hite was up on the front platform, watching
patiently as this entertaining episode finally died down; I don’t remember him
saying anything, I think he just turned and walked away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Your January 2019 newsletter included a section about
study hall at WI. My freshman year (1957-58) I had study hall the last period
before dismissal. I will never forget the day in study hall that a well-dressed
guy sitting next to me pulled out a 38 cal. “stub-nose special” revolver from
his jacket pocket and showed it to me. He wore a suit and said that he wanted
to be a police officer. He claimed that he was a senior. I thought he was
strange and tried to avoid him after that but never said anything to the
authorities. I think Mr. Limpert aka (Lurch) was the study hall monitor at the
time. Also, I will never forget the time Mr. Limpert “strong armed” a student
while escorting him out of the building. Those were the days. How I miss them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

period Study Hall on November 20, 1963. Shortly before the bell rang a teacher
entered and announced that President Kennedy had been shot. I was numb as I
walked to my last class of the day, Mr. Spatafore's Senior English.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">There were two
study halls (boys and girls, one on each side of the library. These were large
rooms and held a number of students. The supervising teacher sat at a desk on a
platform overlooking the students. My last year the teacher was Mrs. Thelma
Howard. She kept things pretty quiet and you could actually get some work done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Others have described the location. I know that the
girl’s study hall and the library seemed huge to me. They probably weren’t
though. I would have guessed that it seated about 60 to 70 for each class. In
the front a teacher sat at a desk on a raised platform to oversee the group. I
don’t remember assigned seating but it seems the freshmen, sophomore, junior
and the senior’s sort of sat separated from each other by choice. There were
high windows on the left side and the rear of the room. I think each student
had at least one study hall per day, I really never got much accomplished in
study hall, but I remained in the study hall at least throughout my first two
years. It was very noisy and I was very distracted so I really never studied
but went to the library every chance I go-usually we could at least write notes
to one another there. It seems that even in the library we were separated from
the boys. I found other things to do my last couple of years to replace my time
in study hall. I was a student phys-ed assistant for Mrs. Alessi and then
another study hall period I decided to take a sewing class from Miss Jarvis, my
senior year. I was in with freshmen and sophomore girls but I already knew how
to sew and made a lot of my own clothing; therefore, she taught me other things
as I finished our assigned projects too quickly. I made a different skirt and
blouse than the under classmates. I helped make the curtains for the sewing
room. She taught me how to make bound button holes (which I have forgotten),
how to make a lapel so that it laid down, and many other things. I think I was
an interesting challenge to her and believe me she met the challenge with
interesting things for me to learn all without taking any of her attention away
from the classmates. I really respected Miss Jarvis and Mrs. Alessi for their
efforts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I recently uncovered two interesting articles in the
1983 Summer issue of <i>Goldenseal</i>, the state folklife magazine; one with a
strong Clarksburg tie. How many of us know about the West Virginia Athletic
Union which conducted annual state basketball tournaments for the state's black
schools from 1925 to 1957? The black weekly <i>Pittsburgh Courier</i> was
widely read in the state and noted the 24 state schools which gathered for the
playoffs at the tiny West Virginia State College gym in 1925, referring to the
event as “the first of its kind staged in West Virginia among Negro schools,
and one of the first ever held in any Negro school in the country.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">These schools were located in towns from Bluefield to
Wheeling, most bearing the names of noted black leaders as was Kelly Miller's. Lodging
and food were big considerations in those days of segregation and during the
season and opposing teams would stay in the homes of the host team. For that
first tournament all of the players stayed on army cots in the WV State gym. Lincoln
of Wheeling won that first championship. The southern schools, such as Kimball
of McDowell County, won the majority of the playoffs in the early years of the
Union. During the second decade from 1935 to 1944 the power in the tournament
was Clarksburg's Kelly Miller. It won five championships in that period, three
in a row from 1942 to 1944. The visiting players stayed in the homes of local
black families. During this time the tournament site was rotated between
Institute, Charleston, Bluefield and in Clarksburg, where the games were played
in the Carmichael Auditorium.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The success of Kelly Miller was due in large part to
their Coach Mark Cardwell. The author of the <i>Goldenseal </i>article C.
Robert Barnett wrote: “Cardwell was also a recruiter and cited two kids from
Columbus and Pittsburgh...and (then) find someone related to them in the area.”
During Cardwell's 20 years at KM his teams had a record of 307-46, and he went
on to coach at West Virginia State where he remained until he died in 1964. His
basketball teams there had a 288-168 record.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In the fall of 1956, the Kelly Miller students were
transferred to Washington Irving High School. I was a senior and recalled the
move went very quietly and smoothly. The KM school building has the best
architecture among the then five Clarksburg high schools. It's now the county
board of education office, I believe. I was the head football manager that year
and remember the late Ernie Hollyfield '57 and a younger scatback named Gene
Marshall. He and I became buddies because we both loved R&B music so much.
Our mutual favorite was <i>Let the Good Times Roll</i> by Shirley and Lee. Their
school had a very strong legacy and a quality academic faculty with two of
their teachers coming to WI.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">It's interesting that both Holgorsen and Brown played
as college wide receivers under the same head coach, Hal Mumme, recognized as
the godfather of the Air Raid offense - DH at Iowa Wesleyan and NB at Kentucky.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">1. Initially I was sorry to hear of Holgorsen's
leaving. If for no other reason, I didn't look forward to spending another two
years learning how to correctly spell the head coach's name. He gave us some
great games, some won, some lost (I'll quickly trade a couple of those heart
breakers for that epic 70-33 Orange Bowl massacre of Clemson.) I wish him well.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Rapidly, we're learning more of Neal Brown's
personality and resume. He is much more like Don Nehlen than Holgorsen or Rich
Rodriguez, and that's comforting. His track record in improving his teams'
performances is encouraging. His knocking off LSU AND Nebraska in their home
stadiums is eyebrow raising.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Brown seems to follow Nick Saban's philosophy of
following firmly established procedures with consistency, as well as Dabo Swinney's
for having fun while maintaining high standards.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">1. No, I am not sorry to see Dana leave because I
think it was inevitable that we were going to part ways very soon. I think he
did fairly well as head coach at WVU, and I acknowledge that the Big 12 is a
much tougher conference than the Big East. However, there are serious issues
regarding the quarterback position and a very tough schedule in 2019. I think
it is likely that if Dana had stayed, he would have been fired after the 2019
season, because we will be lucky to win 6 games. I think he knew that. There is
no doubt he has a brilliant football mind, but he's too inconsistent. There
have been too many head-scratching losses, odd play-calling, and poor clock
management. I think he will do well at Houston in a lesser conference.
Actually, the coaching change worked out well for both Dana and WVU. He got a
good contract at Houston and his leaving saved WVU millions of dollars, which
they would have had to pay to fire him after next season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">2. I'm very excited about the new coaching choice. I
think almost everyone agrees that Lyons hit a home run by hiring Neal Brown.
Fans will have to be patient, though, because we are losing a lot of talent.
Don't expect 8 wins in 2019. However, I think we will see a more physical style
of football. Dana's teams have been talented, but soft. I think that under
Coach Brown we are going to be more physical and that opposing teams will not
look forward to playing us because we are going to rock them and sock them for
60 minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of high school football games ever played in our state over the years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Why hasn't some Division 1 school hired Clarksburg
native, Jim Crutchfield as their coach? Before leaving West Liberty two years
ago, he had a 359-61 record as their basketball coach from 2004-17. Now, in his
second season coaching at Nova Southeastern in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, he has
turned that program around, going 17-10 last year and improving to 14-1 so far
this season. Incidentally, his team is currently averaging over 102 points per
game.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">So far, Neal Brown, the new Mountaineer football coach
has made all of the right moves. He has really hit the ground running in his
new job. Austin Kendall transferring into the program from Oklahoma certainly
sparked renewed interest in next year's team. Not many schools will have two
four-star quarterbacks competing for the starting position. Let's hope the
momentum continues through the February signing date and into spring practice.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I saw a glimmer of hope for the basketball
Mountaineers during the win over Kansas, but that was just a tease. As of this
date, Sags Konate is still not playing and there has been no official comment
as to if or when he might return. Let's face it, without him in the lineup,
Huggins has very little star power available. Upperclassmen have been mostly
inconsistent, except for Beetle Bolden, when he is not injured. At this point,
I still see the season being difficult to salvage. We may have to be satisfied
with a few conference wins and chalk it up to a learning experience for the
young team. Hopefully, the good ones will stay with the team and we could see
some junior college transfers heading to Morgantown before next season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Ryan graduated from the University of New England,

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Since he was 10 years old, Ryan has wanted to be a
Division 1 basketball coach. He is off to a great start, currently working as
the Video Coordinator for the Princeton University Men’s Basketball Team, under
Head Coach Mitch Henderson. So far this season, the Tigers have a 9-5 record
and are in first place in the Ivy League. One of their wins was a 67-66 upset
of then #17 Arizona State, coached by former Duke player, Bobby Hurley.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Students at Washington Irving High School during the
1950s and other decades were fortunate to have benefited from dedicated yet
quite different English teachers. In my case, I had Miss Josephine Swiger
(freshman year), Miss Emily (sophomore and junior), and Miss Bailey. It was
obvious that for all, teaching was their life. Having spent my life in the
academy as a student and college and university professor, I naturally
recollect past teachers and assess their influence and importance. Also,
realization that my appraisal of positive intellectual effect might correspond
with that of other students and might encourage those with similar experience
to sharpen my (our) memory prompts these reminiscences.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Miss Bailey, who taught at WI from 1926 to 1964,
quietly and effectively instructed thousands. Her classroom embraced diverse
aspects of the English language from writing to dissection of literary
classics. She obviously went beyond what was required to supervise composition
of the yearbook. More importantly to me and undoubtedly to others, she assigned
vocabulary words (about ten per week?) to students to learn their meanings and
compose them in a literate sentence that she reviewed. I recall her admonition,
really of encouragement, that if we went to college or university that many of
the words would reappear on various standard examinations and in our reading.
And, I found the advice to be absolutely correct, almost clairvoyant. I have
often wondered about the sources of her useful and extensive vocabulary list.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">While an undergraduate at West Virginia University and
preparatory to entering graduate school, I took many tests, including national
ones, where Miss Bailey’s words surfaced and instantly reminded me of her
contribution. A graduation requirement in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences and
Commerce (and perhaps other colleges) required passage of an English grammar
and word-meaning test in the senior year. The test was a relatively elementary
exercise, but it tripped the progress of some.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">From the hazy past, I recall at least two specific
words from Miss Bailey’s extensive exercises: anathema and prescience. Perhaps
the infinitive form of the words, imply and infer, also appeared. It may be
that the words became so mentally engrained that the process has shrouded my
recollection of origin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Other WI students who enjoyed the privilege of Miss
Bailey’s instruction might recall the vocabulary exercises, their positive
influence, and specific words. Serendipitous possession of class notes with the
words by others might be too much to expect from more than a half century past.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

often since our 3 sons live in 3 different states. Eric is the oldest and lives
in Arkansas with his wife Tina and 4 kids, Savanna, Skyler, Annabelle and
Colton. Our middle son is Scott and he and his wife Tiffany live in Wyoming
with sons, Garrett and Jordan. Our youngest son Christopher lives in Washington.

<strong><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt; font-weight: normal;">Fred Alvaro died
peacefully at the age of 77 on Saturday, January 5, 2019 in The Villages,
Florida. Born in Clarksburg, West Virginia to a second-generation Italian
family, Fred excelled in athletics and academics. He and his two brothers, Jim
and Larry, grew up under the watchful eyes of their parents, Fred and Mary
Conch Alvaro. He graduated from pharmacy school at West Virginia University and
married Karen Sue Poe, of Bridgeport, West Virginia. They moved to Columbus,
Ohio where they started their own family with the addition of their son, Chad
Keflin Alvaro. Fred thrived in a new career in oil and gas investment, and
then, later, as a small business owner with Karen. They followed their son to
Florida, where they retired and resided in The Villages until Fred’s passing.
Fred is survived by his wife, Karen, his brothers, Jim and Larry, his
sister-in-law, Sheila Green, his son and daughter-in-law, Chad and Annie
Alvaro, and two grandchildren, Keflin Thomas Alvaro, age 7, and Julia Anne
Alvaro, age 5. He was honest, kind, and most of all, loved, and will be missed.</span></strong><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Below
is a letter from Aretta Radcliffe, Jaranko. She graduated from WI in 1940 and is
approximately 96 years of age. Arreta is not feeling too well but she wrote to
the newsletter. She describes some memories of WI. Won’t you please support the
newsletter by writing to and share some of your memories with us? I am sure Arreta
will enjoy reading them. Your memories may be different although they are very similar.

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I
remember the big Study Hall at WI, do you? I helped Miss Griffin in the library
when I was a senior. I liked doing that. When I was a Junior, I had Miss Taylor
for English. She encouraged us to read so she had lists of books for us to
borrow from the library and the more books you read, the better your grade I
looked forward to study hall. it would be full of very quiet students and I
would read. One day I was reading, I don't remember which book it was, but I
was so deep into it that I laughed out loud at a funny part. Wow, I realized
where I was and looked up at Miss Buzzard, the teacher there, but no one even
paid attention and she just smiled at me, knowing why I had laughed. Another
book I read was Pygmalion. I had a hard time with that one because of the
dialect. It was hard for me to make any sense of it. We had to give Miss Taylor
an oral summary of the books we said we had read. Don't know how I got by with
that one, but I did. One time I saw Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady"
and saw it was based on "Pygmalion"!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

read John Jett's book, "My Life on Horner Run" a few times and every
time I read it, there is something that reminds me of growing up visiting my

you get their attention by smacking them (</span></strong><em><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">just kidding) </span></em><strong><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt; font-weight: normal;">they do seem interested when you
explain just how it was growing up. John really had a lot of details about how
it was in the "Holler" with transportation in and around Pennsboro
during World War II. John said this was a good way to pass on the family
history at that time. John did a great job reflecting this.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Joe Malone told me you were concerned about using the photo of Naomi and me in
the November Newsletter. Loved it!! Naomi was delighted to be a part of the
Newsletter. When Naomi and I lived in Florida (Naples), we went to a reunion at
her Miami Jackson High, class of 1955. Naomi and I have traded a lot of stories
about our early experiences. High school was right up there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I
certainly remember Miss Taylor and our little notebook and the box of 8<br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
reading the letters you received, I noticed no one mentioned the Burl Ives
records we had to listen to. Am I mistaken? Was it Miss Taylor or another
teacher that tortured us with old scratchy records. I can’t remember why we had
to listen to them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

with everyone about the diagramming - I know the parts of speech.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Of
course, I can remember clear back to Central Jr High and having to memorize prepositions.
I can still recite them, but cannot remember the name of the teacher. She gave
a test on them and we had to write them.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My father, Howard Bohlman of Northview, always made
the traditional Christmas cookie of Clarksburg, West Virginia called gallettes.
Using the old waffle iron that only made two at a time he would sit at the
kitchen table for hours patiently and lovingly making galettes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">They were extremely time and labor intensive. When I
moved to California, he would send me a huge box of them every Christmas. I
miss those cookies. The origin of the recipe is debatable. I was told the
recipe came from Belgian glassworker immigrants, who came to West Virginia to
work in the glass industry. Some people say these cookies are French. The term
galette has a looser definition that is tied to the French word galet, meaning
a smooth, flat pebble. Today, however, the term galette is used primarily
to refer to rather rustic, free-form pie-made with a single crust of pastry or
bread dough.</span></div>
<div class="yiv3737822629msonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Belgian Iron Cookies were called gaulettes but somehow
that translated to galette. In Clarksburg, yet we spell it gallette. The French
gallette bears little resemblance to our cookies. Some recipes call them
Belgium French cookies as if Belgium is a city in France, not a separate country.
A similar confusion exists in West Virginia when some people inexplicably still
think West Virginia is not a state but the western part of Virginia. I can’t
tell you how many times over the years I say I’m from West Virginia and the
person I’m speaking with will say something like, “Oh yeah. I visited Richmond
once.” I digress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">These cookies are the most delicious cookies I’ve ever
eaten. It must be all that butter. I love them when they are about three days
old: great for dunking in coffee. I’d love your recipes for gallettes. I was
given a tip about making them. Always refrigerate the dough the night before
you cook on the iron.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In the
category of “small world” associations, Sally Pulice’s letter in the December
issue noted that she and two of her classmates had become speech pathologists
and mentioned another friend, Joe Stemple, as a member of the faculty at the
University of Kentucky. My older son’s true love, Hanna Prince, is a speech pathologist
at the UK Medical Center and I asked her if she knew the name. Her response, “He
is a huge researcher here at UK on the academic/outpatient side. A lot of my
coworkers worked with him on their PhDs as well”. My son is moving to Lexington
to join Hanna, so I’ve alerted him and Hanna to casually say, “We hear you’re
from Clarksburg” if they ever have the chance to meet Dr. Stemple.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">One of
my SMALL WORLD stories: Bill and I moved into a new condo in Ohio in May, 2018.
Soon after moving in, a man living in another new condo across the street came
over to our driveway and was talking to Bill. I walked outside and Bill called
me over to meet Mark Heater. I said - just joking, “Oh, I bet you are my
cousin.” He said that wasn’t possible as his family was from a small town in
central West Virginia. I told him mine was too. He said they were from Summit,
WV. Bill told him that he must mean Sutton as there isn’t a Summit, WV. Mark
agreed it was Sutton. I told him that Sutton was the county seat of Braxton
County and that was where my family was from. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="yiv6663747119msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I asked
him what high school his parents graduated from and he said they graduated from
a high school that they call WI. Which he thought was a funny name. I told him
that WI stood for Washington Irving and that is where I went to school. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="yiv6663747119msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">They
were older but he was really surprised when I asked him if he would like to see
his parent’s graduation pictures. He just couldn’t understand why I would know
about his parent’s. He called his wife over and we went in to our condo and I
called up the WI Newsletter on my laptop and went to the HISTORY section, chose
the YEARBOOKS and found his father and then his mother. They were amazed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="yiv6663747119msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">This
was thanks to TIM CORK! I just knew he was a relative but did not know that he
was such a close relative. My daughter has done our genealogy and told me Mark
is my 5<sup>th</sup> cousin. It is a “small world”. We didn’t know each other
even existed but now we are neighbors!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My
mother made play cloths, blouses, dish towels, pillow cases and even some of my
school clothes from feed sacks that relatives gave her. Those items never did
wear out but the printed patterns would fade away with many washings and the sun.
The material was sturdy and sometimes scratchy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dick Sommerville worked at West End Feed and gave her any that had burst open,
so on an old tread sewing machine she made dresses by gaslight. I have a

mother always had some. I wore feed sack dresses a lot until I was about 8

to wear them to school.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dec. newsletter. I am now reading it. I'm really excited about winning. When I
do receive the gift, I will gladly send my picture with it. (see below) Hell, I may take a
picture of my whole family with it. (Yea, trying to get them together all at
one time would be a task). Man, I am really excited.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the same as he did. Now, let me explain a little further. If WV was selected to
play in the 4 team Championship series, <u>I would play</u>. Reasons to play: I
would not want to let my team down that played so hard to get us a national
championship. Also, if we played and won, the chances of winning the Heisman
and David Sills winning the Belitnikoff Award would be much greater. I would
hate to think of going down with a career ending injury playing in the Camping
World Bowl. By all means, I am not putting down the Camping World Bowl. There
are two really good teams playing. Also, better to go to a bowl game than not.
A reward for playing hard. I'm sure Grier has some type of insurance covering
him for injuries. It is going to disappoint a lot of people, especially in
Florida, who were looking forward to seeing both Grier and Sills in action and
those traveling from WV. I'll be pulling just as hard for them against Syracuse
as I would in a championship game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the NCAA basketball tournament. If they play like I saw them play, in the few games
I saw, it would be embarrassing. They have much too many turnovers. They do not
look like they are giving their all. They can't say they left it all out there
on the court, because they cannot hold a lead. To me, they look like me, OUT OF
SHAPE. Like the football team, I am behind the basketball team 100%<o:p></o:p></span></div>

better. He looked at me and near to tears asked, "You will get better

the bowl season duller every year. This year, WVU could have been matched with
Pitt, Penn State or even Kentucky. Then, I might have been upset if Will didn’t

don't want to sound judgmental, but ideals are important. Loyalty to your
teammates is an ideal that matters a lot, and ultimately. it's fidelity to our
ideals that makes life meaningful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">He has
to shoulder blame for the fumbles in the Oklahoma game which resulted in two
touchdowns for them and the team's loss. He owes the team his best effort in
the bowl game in order to get a bowl win. Remember, a few years back, Syracuse
beat us in the Pinstripe Bowl when we were the favorite. Can we beat them this
year without Grier? I don't think so. Grier played himself out of contention
for a Heisman and All-American honors too, I believe. He should play for the
teams benefit, at least. I understand his reasoning, injury risk when you
expect to be a high NFL selection, but he should play. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Further,
concerning football, I was surprised that I heard no comments from "the
group" about two obvious coaching mistakes in the last two games. Against
Oklahoma State, the decision to go for it on 4th and short, deep in their red
zone, which failed, and not take the chip shot field goal, was the game
difference, in my view. Everything being equal we would have won by a point. Same
thing in the Oklahoma game, went for it on 4th and short instead of taking
field goal which would have resulted in a tie in regulation, if everything
played out as it did. Stupid coaching decision, in my view. Coaching 101: come
away with something when you are in that situation!! Especially if your short
yardage running game has no bruising fullback threat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

have looked like a bunch of undisciplined high school players, with little knowledge
of how to play as a team. Poor shooting, poor passing resulting in turnovers,
lack of defense and they don't move without the ball. Their three-point
shooting is abysmal. Other than that, they look pretty good!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Now with FB players coming out after their Junior year and basketball players

appreciate his position as complicated. The risk of injury issue is tenuous in
that injury can occur on any play, even without violent contact - witness his
season ending injury in 2017. The "importance" of the Camping World
Bowl exists because there are now 40 bowls (And I believe also because of the
awkward sounding titles they now have attached; Marshall's is the Bad Boy
Mowers Gasparilla Bowl, named the worst sounding of the 40 by some pundits.
Gasparilla was a mythical Pirate and Bad Boy's HQ is in Arkansas), the College
Football Playoffs have marginalized the rest, even the New Year's Day games,
and the 80 teams, other than the final four, just seem to run together. Some of
us recall when we could see a maximum of six or so bowls and a couple of those
would overlap on television.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Added
to the displeasure is Grier's acceptance, along with three other Mountaineers,
to play in the Senior Bowl, where he could also sustain an injury, though some
say the players don't hit as hard, given their professional futures.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Will Grier has undoubtedly given us some great memories in his (almost) two

others may join Grier and Yodne Cajuste in opting out. If so, each absence will

watched them practice for two hours in September and came away thinking I
hadn't recalled a Mountaineer team with as much depth and athleticism, and thus
expected something close to the media's prediction of a top 15-20 team. Lately,
50 teams are getting poll votes, but WVU has none. There are no All-Americans
on the roster, but there are talented players. Other teams have talented
players, thus it requires chemistry and heroic effort to score victories. I
believe Bob Huggins will find ways to amp up their effort, particularly on
defense, which showed a pulse last week vs. Pitt.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the bowl game) was of no advantage to him, so why stay. He had already jumped

<b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Question 2:</span></b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"> </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">No. After watching the WVU basketball team stumble
through their first few games, I cannot see Coach Huggins or anyone else
converting this team into one worthy of an NCAA Tournament invitation.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I don't
have the time or space to tell you what I think is wrong with this team, but I
would like to remind you of something that happened last May. All we hear about
from the TV announcers and writers is how much the Mountaineers miss Jevon
Carter and Daxter Miles. This point becomes more evident with each game.
However, in the June edition of the W I Newsletter, I wrote about another
player who was not returning to play for Coach Huggins this year. His name was
Teddy Allen, aka Teddy Buckets. I mentioned at the time that I would miss
seeing him play at WVU and that perhaps so would the team. Oh, how they could
use him now!</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Myrtle Beach tournament, I told Jay Jacobs that I'd recently had lunch with one
of his old two-handed set shot nemeses, WI's Bucky Tustin (and Bob Westbrook).
I said Bucky told me he could shoot better than Jay. Jay laughed and said,
"Lots of guys could shoot better than me." At that Tony Caridi laughed.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

When Pat Beilein was setting WVU's career three pointers made record, the
Mountaineers were in a tournament in Orlando. Before the trip Jay and Pat
agreed to have a 3-point shootout in Orlando. Many, including Kevin Kinder of
Blue and Gold News, predicted Beilein would trounce Jay. I differed, having remembered
Jacobs and his deadly set shots. Jay beat Beilein.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Jay when he played for Morgantown HS and then at WVU. He was small, but always

about Frank Loria). It is always a hard time around Nov. 14. I have been to Va.
Tech and spent time with (Frank) Beamer, who showed me all of the things that
are displayed for my brother. I was just at the Hall of Fame in Atlanta, and
saw all of the electronic pictures of Frank. Very interesting. Anyone who goes
to Atlanta should go and see it and see how they have used electronics for all
of the players.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

those who do not recognize the person with Sonja, we met him at a concert we
attended here in Buford. He is Morton Anderson, Class of 2017, Pro Football
Hall of Fame. He played many years with New Orleans and the Atlanta Falcons.
Morton scored over 2,000 points. He made 565 field goals out of 709 attempts.
Also, 849 extra points out of 859 attempts. He made seven pro bowls and was
named to the all-decade team in the 80s and 90s. He was a nice guy to talk
with.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">You may
recall the vitriol aimed at Bob Huggins by former Sports Illustrated writer,
Rick Reilly, in 2010. I Googled and found at least one other attack on Huggs by
Reilly in 2006. The later hit piece implied that Huggs graduated no one and
cared nothing about academics, rather focusing on wins. Once upon a time I was
a fan of Rick Reilly. No more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Several
ironies include that Huggins was an Academic All-American at WVU, and that as
Reilly was writing in 2010, THREE of his WVU players (Joe Mazzulla, Cam
Thoroughman, and Jonnie West) had graduated and were pursuing master’s degrees.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
current WVU Basketball Media Guide states:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">"41
of the last 42 senior members of the WVU Men's Basketball Team have graduated
on time or early since 2005." Also: "WVU has ranked among the top 10
percent of all basketball teams five times since 2010 in the NCAA Division I
Academic Progress Rate (APR), including a <i>perfect four-year score</i> of
1,000 in 2016, 2017 and 2018."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">This is
really interesting data. For many years, when he was at Cincinnati, the media
pictured Huggins as a coach who recruited thugs, who seldom went to class or
graduated. This has slowed down since he arrived in Morgantown, but it is good
to see the facts published for all to see. Thanks for sending.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Some
random thoughts about sports as we enter the new year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Regardless
of your feelings about Dana Holgorsen, I think he made the correct decision,
when he left WVU. (See survey elsewhere in the newsletter) It is my feeling
that he would have been let go at the end of next season, anyhow. By leaving
now, he avoided getting fired and signed a long-term contract with Houston, in
which much of the money is apparently guaranteed. What's not to like about
that? Plus, 7 or 8 wins seemed to be his ceiling. The Big 12 is a very
competitive conference, particularly as long as Oklahoma and Texas are members.
Maybe, we should get used to not winning a conference title. Unfortunately, we
are Mountaineer fans and as such, we keep wishing for the moon. Perhaps
someday, we'll find it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Congratulations
to Marshall and Coach Doc Holiday for another good season. BTY, Marshall is
12-3 all time in bowl games, while Doc is 6-0 in bowls as the head coach at
Marshall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Based
on what I've seen so far, I would not be surprised if there were several
players transferring out of the Mountaineer basketball program, either during
or after this season. There is a total lack of chemistry on this team and Coach
Huggins has a tough task ahead of him trying to salvage a winning season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Finally,
since I do not currently live in north central West Virginia, I miss a lot of
the local sports news. Perhaps someone can explain to me why Logan Holgorsen,
the son of the former WVU coach, is apparently now enrolling at Houston. Is
this correct? First, I read that the former quarterback at Morgantown and
University High Schools had accepted a scholarship to a school in Texas (North
Texas ???). Then, he had changed his mind and would attend Bowling Green State
U. in Ohio. Maybe his father invited him to walk on at Houston. If so, good
luck with that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: #fff7fb; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The Newbrough family sadly announces the passing of our
brave and beautiful matriarch on December 5, 2018 after a brief but courageous
battle with cancer. Pat died at home wrapped in the arms of her loving family.
She was born in Lumberport, West Virginia and grew up in nearby Nutter Fort.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: #fff7fb; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Pat was pre-deceased by her parents, Leonard & Marjorie
Sprout and her sister Marilyn. Her brother Dick Sprout and his wife Becky live
in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Pat was employed at Budd Canada for 27 years and
co-founded the Scarlet Feathers chapter of the Red Hats Society. She was a
devoted member of Saint Francis Church and enjoyed socializing and laughing
with friends and family and exercising at the fitness club.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

food, fond memories and providing many gestures of love and goodwill. A special
thank you to daughter-in-law Karen for her round the clock care and affection
during Pat's illness. Also thank you to Grand River Hospital nurses, Dr. Leung

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Barbara
Ann Falkenstine (nee Wilmoth) died of pancreatic cancer on Saturday, December
29, 2018 at her home in Leesburg, Virginia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">She was
the only child born to Maxine and Glen Wilmoth on October 2, 1943 in Clarksburg,
WV and her elbow was broken as she was being delivered. The doctor put her
arm in a cast causing the bones to grow together leaving her without a working elbow.
While she never learned to swim, ride a bike or play any sports she didn’t let
it stop her from holding a book (or a credit card).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Barbara
graduated from Washington Irving High School in 1961. After attending one year
of college at West Virginia University, she took off for the Jersey Shore. She
lived there for the summer while working at a jewelry store (this would kick
off a lifelong love of all things sparkly, as well as, a hatred of sand).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">She
then tackled secretarial school and found herself working for the U.S.
Government. That was where she met Milford “Harvey” Falkenstine. The couple
married and settled in Alexandria, VA, both working at the Pentagon. They had
one daughter (Valerie Falkenstine Hollis) and left the big city for Sterling,
Virginia. While living in Sterling, Barbara wanted to go back to work part-time
but could not find a childcare option that worked for the family. So, she
started her own daycare co-op in what had been a barn. By the time the money
was raised, the building renovated, the teachers hired and the students signed
up, Valerie was old enough to go to pre-school and never even attended the
“school” her mom had built. Shortly thereafter, they moved to Leesburg.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
Leesburg, Barbara worked at different medical facilities, but ultimately landed
in a pediatricians’ office and stayed there for many years. The past 15 years she
worked at Loudoun Medical Group where she made many good friends and maintained
an overflowing snack drawer that could feed the entire office if necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
addition to volunteering and fighting cancer (colon and endometrial before the
pancreatic), she spent copious amounts of time on her two great passions-reading
and shopping. She found a way to combine them (and her volunteering) by joining
the board of the Loudoun Library Foundation. While at their annual sale, buying
books of course, she criticized how some of the books were being displayed. The
gal managing the table told her that if she thought she could do a better job,
she was welcome to it. The rest, as they say, is history.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Barbara
collected friends as easily has she collected shoes. Young and old, male and
female, everyone who met her was attracted to her spirit, gregariousness, and
feistiness. And she found something interesting, genuine and of worthwhile in
everyone she met. Barbara liked to have fun and was nearly always smiling or
laughing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">EDITOR’S NOTE: Several of her classmates wrote to say
what a fun lady Barbara was and how much they will miss her at the reunions.
One said when reading her obit she could see Barbara in the words. Thanks for
writing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

saw this cartoon, of course I thought of the one and only Emily Taylor! Bless
her heart. I liked Miss Taylor. I enjoyed diagramming. But I had her 2 years
and toward the end of the second year, we were diagramming sentences that were
really paragraphs, we could fill a page with our lines and colored underlines.
It was starting to get way out of hand.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Hi Roleta - I had to write you
immediately so I couldn't forget. Who else would I think of but Emily Taylor and
sophomore English? She even had her own special requirement: colored pencils.
Nouns were blue, I think verbs were red, I'm sure adverbs were green, etc.,
etc., etc. We hated it. But I learned the parts of a sentence and never forgot
them. All the years that I taught English, I didn't torture my students with
diagramming, but I certainly found ways to explain sentence structure.
Actually, the best way is composition. But Emily Taylor was one of a kind. She
died in bed while grading papers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I
actually enjoyed diagramming. I was launched into it by my 5th grade teacher,
Mrs. Wise, at Morgan Grade School. I recall that she asked several of us to
participate in a demonstration she was doing at a teacher's meeting. The
meeting was at WI High School and it seemed like a big deal to me to ride the
bus by myself then find my way to where I was supposed to be. At that time, WI
seemed absolutely huge to me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I
thought diagramming was practical and have mentally started diagramming
sentences at times when I was "doing papers." I felt it helped me put
things together.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">My 10<sup>th</sup> grade English
teacher was Mrs. Hutson. We did a lot of diagramming in her class. At the time
I really didn’t know that it would be beneficial to me, but later on I realized
that it did teach us proper grammar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">In
response to the November newsletter I would say that Miss Taylor, sophomore
English, was The Queen of Diagram. I recall some sentences that took up the
entire chalk board. Most of us moaned and groaned at the time, but entering WVU
a few years later not many of us ended up in Freshman “bonehead” English, which
I understood, was one of the toughest English classes on campus. Between Miss
Taylor preparing us in grammar and Miss Bailey in literature we were well set
for success in college English.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">When I
began teaching in Georgia elementary went through 7th grade and high school was
8-12. They now have middle schools (7-9)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I
taught 7th graders English; however, most of my students had missed out somehow
on learning the basics of writing a complete sentence.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Therefore,
we went back to the basics of learning parts of speech. And you guessed it. I
sent them home with a note asking for a small box of crayons. We </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">diagrammed</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> using Miss Taylor’s method of colors. I believe I remembered her colors: nouns:
blue, verbs: red, adjectives: yellow, adverbs: green, conjunctions: black,
pronouns: orange, interjections: brown, prepositions: purple. May be wrong on my
colors, but this is what I used.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Of
course, I heard the moaning and groaning and as they complained at home, I also
had parents questioning my method. I knew it worked for me so I didn’t back
down. And it obviously worked for these students who came back once they went
to high school to tell me that the students from our elementary school had the
highest English grades in high school. One of the complaining Mothers actually
came back after her son went to college (at his request) to thank me. He had
told her that 7th grade was the only grade in his 12 years he had really been
taught English and now as a freshman in college it was paying off for him. For
all you teachers out there you know little things like this are our rewards.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Another
lesson involving where to put comma’s between cities, states, and dates I used
a sentence with Clarksburg, WV. As I stepped away from the board and the
sentence was able to be seen by the students a girl shouted out, “Really, Mrs.
Hill, Clarksburg, WV? My grandma lives there”. Turned out she is related to
Phil Carter. I cannot recall her name, but wish I did. Anyway, after Christmas break,
she showed up with pictures of Phil and his family and a sweatshirt for me with
Clarksburg across the front.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Taylor's sophomore and junior English classes. My interest in literature was
stunted for a while, but I could parse the heck out of written sentence. Using
different colored crayons for different parts of speech, a compound-complex
sentence would nearly resemble a kaleidoscope pattern.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

in those days.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I'm 99% sure no one in Stealey had a pool in their

fantastic.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I can remember a lot of fun days there as well as a

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">They had picnic tables up on the Hill that our family
regularly used as well as all of our neighbors. Since it was at the top of what
seemed to be a very steep Hill at that time, we'd do our best to see if we
could pedal all the way up. It was great exercise but challenging at that time.
the ride down was a lot more fun.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">When we were young teenagers, they had dances on the
roof which were very well attended. We thought it was pretty special. Lots of
great memories. I'm just hoping there are no videos of the dancing!</span><span style="color: #262626;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">My
family lived at 400 Horner Ave. directly behind WIHS. The family consisted of
my Mother (yes, I called her Mother not Mom) and Father as well as an older
brother John and an older sister, Eliza.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Eliza
was in a high school sorority and the girls wanted to throw a party. We literally
rolled up the rugs, broke out the latest-most popular rock and roll 45’s and
Eliza invited her friends, boys and girls. It never took long for the “grape
Vine” to send word that there was a weekend party even if you weren’t invited. Since
I was only about 10 years old at the time, I was shipped off to a friend’s
house to spend the night so I wouldn’t be a pest to my sister and her friends.
This was during the time when movies featured actors like Marlin Brando, Wild
One, being a bad boy and riding a motorcycle.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">A group
of boys from Fairmont crashed the party and I thought they were the “coolest”
guys I had ever seen. One in particular had the coolest ducktail and pegged
pants and the James Dean attitude. I wanted to be like him but my butch cut
using butch wax just didn’t cut it. Nor did my blue jeans with holes in the
knees (I was way ahead of my time with the holy blue jeans). It was rumored
that “cool guy” put a pep pill in the punch. Wow!!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">First,
as always, thank you to Roleta, Jalon, and Bill, for keeping all of us
connected to Clarksburg and our WI memories and classmates.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Second,
a big shout out to Rebecca (Becky) Hunn, my WI 1969 classmate and WVU college
roommate. Wow! One of my best friends is an author! That's my claim to fame.
Her book, Finding Joe, is an easy read, and if you know Harrison, Marion, and
Monongalia Counties and Pittsburgh, you will enjoy the story's setting. Becky,
tells me she is working on book #2. Hooray, and I am looking forward to that
publication. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">One of
my favorite WI club memories was Radio Club. Every Sunday afternoon four
members of Radio Club (rotating schedule) would meet at the top of the long,
steep steps of the WHAR radio station that was located at the bottom of
Bridgeport Hill. We would be 'on the air' from 2:30 to 3:00. Miss Dorothy
Underwood (Speech Teacher) was our sponsor, but I do not recall her having much
input as to our 'on air' content or scheduling. There was always a DJ present,
and I believe he chose the music that was played in between our announcements.
We reported on past. present, and future school news. While the music was
playing, I always liked reading the world news that was constantly coming over
the United Press wire. Three members of the WI Class of 1969 went on to become
speech pathologists to include Rick Squires, Libby Lear, and myself. Rick
continued his studies to become an audiologist. Ironically, Joseph (Joe) Stemple,
would have also been in our graduating class, but his family moved prior to our
junior year. Joe attended Alta Vista and Central Junior High, as well. I'm
pretty sure he and I were in every class together at Alta Vista, and he may
have been my second-grade boyfriend, just saying! Joe holds a PhD in speech
pathology, and he is currently a professor at the University of Kentucky. Joe's
accomplishments (multiple books and research) are well documented in the area
of voice rehabilitation as it relates to speech pathology. I've always wondered
if Radio Club influenced our career choices. Rick, Libby, and I were members of
Radio Club. I cannot recall if Joe was. Radio Club is described with pictures
on pages 76-77 of the 1969 WI yearbook.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I don't know if the quality of this picture will
reproduce clearly enough, but it is a picture of the Satellite Drive-In that
was located on Pike Street in Kelly Hill, between Joyce Street and Minards. The
Satellite was built and operated by the Madia family. It was a popular teen hang out after it
opened in the mid-1950's, serving the typical array of burgers, fries, shakes
and soft drinks. I don’t remember when it closed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I'm taking a stab here. But could it be the Satellite
Drive-In on East Pike St. Kind of looks like the entry.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Back in 1963-64, while attending Fairmont State, I
worked nights and Saturdays at Kroger's in the west end on Pike St. Kroger's
was good about hiring college students.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I think there were 12 to 15 of us. Most Fairmont State
and some Salem students. As I remember, we made $2.25/hr. Not bad in those
days. 34 hr/wk. Often some of us after work (11:30 PM Monday and Friday, 11:00
PM Tue-Wed-Thu), would go to the Satellite for snacks and drinks and
"loafing." I believe the Satellite was open until 2 AM then (long
time ago-I could be wrong). Nice relaxation after a day at school and a night
at work!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My first wood working project was to
"sporterize" the stock of an old British army rifle. I was 15 at the
time and my son still hunts with it today. To illustrate how things have
changed, I ordered it by mail, it required no permits, it was shipped free and
cost a grand total of $14.95.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Immediately below is a picture of 2 different 75-year-old
military rifles that I've "sporterized" in the past couple years. I
built the gun rack and then I needed something to put on it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">When I wrote to you last month in regard to
"nicknames", I had totally forgotten about a 1962 WI grad that I used
to run around with and played little league baseball with. His name was Robert
(HOPPY) Junkins. Where the "HOPPY" came from, I do not know. I do not
know if he even knew. He lived up off of Haymond Highway, and I can remember
going to his house many times. He was a terrific baseball pitcher during his
tenure on the little league team, but I sort of lost track of him after little
league. I do know that he passed away a few years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I was
interested in seeing the item related to Air Mail 1945 in the new WI
Newsletter. I want to try to respond to that but this will maybe need some
editing to come out right. I don't know for sure if it is even OK to quote an
article like this but I am just noting a few things. It was such an interesting
article in the GOLDENSEAL that I have hung onto it. Surely there must be old
magazines in some of the WV libraries and this is a good one.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I was
particularly interested in the Air Mail 1945 item in this month's Newsletter. A
GOLDENSEAL Magazine from Spring 1994 has more information on this and also
gives a number of other references. According to this article, the service was
approved by Congress May 1, 1939 with the first flight beginning June 25th.
This was a service of All-American Airlines operating out of Pittsburgh,
serving 20 communities in WV plus some in Ohio and Pennsylvania. <b>WV</b> was the<b> first in the nation and in the world</b> to have this service.
By 1943 there were 34 communities served. Each town had to put up $450.00 a
year for the service: $150.00 for equipment, plus $300 toward an attendant's
salary.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">There
was no record of any place rejecting the deal. The planes were flying about 100
mph when they snagged the rope with the deliveries. They had a fascinating
record with only a few deaths incurred. During the 1940-41 Ohio River flood,
men using rowboats hung the outgoing mailbags just over the water, while the
planes dropped badly needed medicines and whole blood on dry land nearby
Stations were added in other states including New York, New Jersey, Delaware,
and several New England states. The last pick-up flight was in 1949. In 1953,
All American became Allegheny Airlines, which in 1979, became USAir.</span><span style="color: #262626;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I really enjoyed your write-up with Tommy and Gladys
Williams. I was at WVU when they were “a couple”. I grew up with Gladys, her
twin sister Anna and their brother Marty. Great people! I knew Tommy and the
Mountaineers he played with at that time. That team ended a long drought of
Southern Conference-type losing teams. QB Mike Sherwood along with Bubba
Braxton (became O.J Simpson’s blocking back with the Buffalo Bills) Bob
Gresham, Ken Osleger, and defensive guys including Dale Farley (also play for
the Bills), Charley Fisher, Leon Jenkins, Algie LaBraska, Art Holdt among
others went to the Peach Bowl. Even though I went to the game, I don’t remember
who won. Great guys, Great memories.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

hope that others did as well. I really enjoyed meeting with Tom and Gladys.
They had so many stories to tell, which brought back fond memories of growing
up in West Virginia and my days in Morgantown at WVU. I hope to do more stories
of this type in future issues and am always open to suggestions from our
readers for subjects.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Somewhere around 1948-49 when I was an early teenager,
I sprouted up to 6'3" and weighed a straggly 150# tops. Back then anyone
taller was a "freak". I lived up on the Hill behind WI near John
Lynch who was a blossoming basketball player and. later Captain/Leading Scorer
of the 1951 WI basketball squad.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">John had a perfect space in his side yard for a half
court shoot-around lot. My Dad worked for Mon. Power and "purloined"
an electric pole for us to which we attached a homemade backboard & rim.
This space then began to attract friends for regular 2/3 on 2/3 (sometimes
more) games after school and on weekends.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">A popular "shoot-around" game, as many of
you will recall was "HORSE". I won't go into details, but you had to
repeat a made shot or get a letter attached. Five missed shots and you were
out. Thus, it became obvious to all around me very early in life that I was no
Rod Hundley, Jerry West or Steph Curry. The only shot I could reliably be
counted upon to make at that time and for many years afterward, was a simple
"lay-up" and then only with my right hand. Jump shots? Hooks? Don't
waste your time. I was destined to a basketball lifetime of rebounding and
feeding the Lynches & McCartys of the world.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Punchline? Some of you may recall that a popular
pseudonym for lay-ups at that time was the "Hop-shot" due to the
little "skip-step" you took before releasing the ball. Thusly, I was
appropriately nicknamed "<b>HOP</b>"! Believe it or not, it caught
on. Girls (Miss Julia) called me "Hoppy". Even to this day, there are
those (Rusty Sloan WI-51) who still use the nickname very casually 70 years
later.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">An Elkins schoolmate, now living in Muscatine, IA,
invited me to the WVU-Iowa State game in October. Never having visited Iowa, I
took the opportunity and enjoyed the visit, other than the football game score.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">When, after an interception led to Will Grier hitting David
Sills to put WVU up 7-0, it looked like business as usual and we'd win easily.
Other than the blocked field goal to close out Mountaineer scoring, we were
never again in this game. ISU dominated
on both sides of the ball.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Never have I witnessed a team better prepared for an
opponent than the Cyclones. Seemingly, every time Will Grier took a snap, one,
two or more defenders were chasing him down. When he could elude them for a
split second to seek out receivers, they were covered. Our running game was
shut down and theirs thrived with their now healed star running back.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Their quarterback, less than five months removed from
high school, used sandlot tactic pump fakes to make our defenders leave their
feet as he eluded them for positive yardage, or to complete passes to their 8'
tall receiver and seven others. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Afterward, some called for wholesale changes,
including Dana Holgorsen's dismissal. Balderdash, we got our butts kicked, by a
team that was very, very well prepared for WVU.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">A setback for sure, but maybe a wakeup call to reset

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Great letter. You saw in person what the rest of us
saw on TV, but the analysis was the same. The Mountaineers really never saw the
train before they were run over by it. Matt Campbell and his Defensive
Coordinator had a brilliant game plan and the team executed it perfectly. I
agree that it was a wakeup call for WVU. They have played much better since
then. By the time you read this, we'll know more about the rest of the season.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I have a good story regarding Joe Retton. Years ago, I
used to work Fairmont on Mondays. I have a friend that worshiped the ground
that Jo Jo walked on and he started dragging me to Fairmont State practices
with him. We were watching the Falcons practice and there was one player who
couldn’t get his assignment straight on where to go in Retton’s matchup zone,
which is understandable, because it’s a complicated defense. Retton kept
stopping the plays, shaking his head and informing the player where he had to
go when the offense did this. After stopping the plays for the fourth time,
Retton walked out on the court. He put his arm around the player and pointed to
a state policeman who was a fixture at the practices. He said to the player. “Do
you see that state policeman over there?” The player replied that he did.
Retton said, “He’s got a gun and the next time that you miss your assignment,
I’m going to take his gun and shoot you. Now please don’t make me call your
mother and tell her that I had to shoot you in practice because you wouldn’t go
where you were supposed to go”. Of course, everyone including the player
laughed but the next time the offense overloaded the zone in his side, he was
right where he was supposed to be.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Thanks so much for the story. There are hundreds of
Joe Retton stories. He was unique and one of a kind. I was once told that he
didn't have enough funds to provide soft drinks and snacks for his team at
halftime and after games. That did not stop Jo-Jo. He went out into the
community and literally insisted (begged) that local merchants support Falcon
basketball by donating these items. It usually took him several trips, but he
always found willing businesses to help him out and every game was covered.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I envy your being able to watch his practices. It is

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">He was known as Frankie Paul by his
family when I first met him back in 1956. I was a WI senior dating his sister
Erma and saw him in his home during visits there. He must have been an
eighth-grader then and not a very big guy, but man, talk about wry and strong
for his size. I know because I did a little wrestling around with him and he
was more than a handful and quicker than heck. The years went by and he became
a stellar athlete in three sports at Notre Dame High School. It was his prowess
on the gridiron that caught the attention of Division 1-A coach, Jerry Claiborne
of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, now known as Virginia Tech.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Back to the summer of 1962. I had just
come off active duty in the USMCR and was the pool manager and life-guard at Nutter
Fort. One day, while Frank was still in high school, he stopped by the pool,
and remembering each other, we started talking. Gone was the wiry little guy
that I recalled from six years previously. The young man that I saw that day
was solid muscle with solid arms and shoulders and a full chest—shaped like a
steel wedge. His compact frame, strength and speed later was put to the test in
the defensive backfield at VPI where he was joined by another player by the
name of Frank Beamer. You can read on the internet how Frank developed into
such a stellar safety who could size up opponents' offensives and create havoc
against them, of his interceptions and defensive touchdowns—to the extent, that
by 1967 he had made such a name for himself at VPI, that he earned the
distinction of consensus All-American, first team defense.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I read that he married his high school
sweetheart (some of you readers know her and please send in her name and other
family notes, if you'd like.) Frank was taking graduate classes at WVU when he
got the call to coach defensive backs at Marshall University. Also, on the
coaching staff there was a fraternity brother of mine, WVU's Jim “Shorty” Moss.
But tragically, on Nov. 14, 1970, came the fateful disaster of the Marshall
plane crash. Frank was just 27 years old. There were no survivors. But those
players, coaches, and supporters have been memorialized for all time. Frank
Beamer remarked once that had Frank not lost his life, he might have become the
VT head coach and Beamer, an assistant. In 1999, Frank Loria and his old coach,
Jerry Claiborne, were inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. He had
already been named to the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in 1989. There's a
pennant that flies above the VT stadium bearing his name. And Frank Loria Field
commemorates his name in Nutter Fort—just a short distance from where I last
saw him. Some years back (two decades?) I saw a picture in the paper that
looked exactly like him, so closely that I thought it was Frank, himself. It
was in a way—the picture was that of Frank Loria. Jr., wearing the uniform of a
graduating senior at the United States Military Academy at West Point.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

from Italy who lived with the Donellon family in Glen Elk--I remember him also.
Frank also had two daughters. Frank Jr., the West Point graduate, never knew
his dad. His mother was 7 ½months pregnant when his father was killed. Frank
Loria and his family are a classic story of a family that truly pers</span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">onifies the

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Last month we told you about a project spearheaded by
Bill Bennett, the boys’ basketball coach at R C Byrd High School. His team wore
“throwback” uniforms for a game in early 2018, against Preston High School. Those
uniforms honored Kelly Miller High School, which was closed in 1956. Tee shirts
with the school name and mascot were also sold and worn by the RCB team,
cheerleaders and fans to further honor the former school. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We recently talked with Coach Bennett to explore what
plans he has for this season and beyond. The original plan was to honor all
three former high schools, whose areas now comprise the RCB student body, in
the order of their closing. The next school up will be Roosevelt Wilson, which
closed in 1990. The R C Byrd basketball team will wear uniforms, which are a
replica of the red and gray R W uniforms, for a game against East Fairmont High
School in February, 2019.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Doug Hogue, who was the last basketball coach at R W
and is currently a member of the Harrison County Board of Education, has agreed
to design the R W tee shirt, which will be available for purchase after the
first of the year. They hope to market the shirts through an online store, which
should make them readily available to the large group of R W fans and friends
who still have great memories of the school. Coach Bennett has promised to let
us know as soon as information on the website is available and we will pass it
on to our readers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">As was done last year, the R W uniforms will only be
worn one time. After that, they will be given to the people who paid to purchase
them or sold to interested fans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">According to Bennett, he was amazed at the enthusiasm
for the project shown by the local administrators, the local community and the
players. Businesses and the general public have both contributed to ensure its
success. One potential problem proved to be no problem at all. The WVSSAC, the
governing body for high school athletics in the state, readily gave an
exemption to R C Byrd to wear the “throwback” uniforms. Opposing coaches and
players also seemed to like the idea and helped make last year’s game a
memorable one. People from other areas of the state have shown interest in
doing something similar in their areas. Specifically, a man from the
Williamson, WV area thinks the smaller schools which were consolidated into
Mingo Central High School should be honored accordingly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">During our discussions, I asked Coach Bennett what
kind of a team he thought he might have at R C Byrd this season. He indicated
that he had a lot of experience returning from last year, when he actually
played as many as five freshmen during a game. In fact, the team’s leading
scorer was a freshman. Team size might be a problem, but he feels that by
playing a lot of players and playing fast, they should be competitive in most
of their games.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Again, I want to thank Coach Bill Bennett for his
ongoing efforts to honor teams from the past. After R W, the last school will
be Washington Irving, which will be honored during the 2019-20 basketball
season. Good luck to your team this season and we look forward to seeing them
in the red R W uniforms in February and the blue and gold of W I the following
season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">The WVU football season is finally
over and it was quite a season. Even though he won't win the Heisman Trophy,
Will Grier had an outstanding season and established himself as one of the best
quarterbacks to ever play for the Mountaineers. His many fine receivers showed
that the preseason hype about their skill was well deserved.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Unfortunately, the loss of most of
the linebackers due to injury was a huge problem for a defense that was
average, at best, even at full strength. In the Big 12 Conference, the offenses
have ruled for many years and one has to wonder if the defenses will ever catch
up. To combat a great passing game, you must have a better than average pass
rush. WVU found that out in the Iowa State game, where Grier was held to 100
yards passing. As I've said previously, the Mountaineers can't seem to generate
much of a pass rush with their 3-3-5 defense and that probably won't change as
long as Tony Gibson runs the defense.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">The final regular season record was
8-3, with one game being cancelled due to the hurricane in North Carolina.
Since our readers' predictions were based on a 12-game season, determining a
winner was difficult. After much thought, we decided it would be fair to use
the actual winning percentage as the determining factor. Four of our readers
chose an 8-4 finish, which calculates as a 0 .667 percentage. Three picked 9-3,
which is 0.75. The final 8-3 record is at 0.727, which is nearest the 9-3
record.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I 1960 and Bud Collins, W I 1955, all guessed the 9-3 final record. However,
only one can win, so we had a drawing, using those three names. Jim Alvaro was
the lucky winner and will receive the WVU related gifts. We hope to have a
picture of Jim with his gifts for the January newsletter.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I'm sure next year will be an exciting year as we begin a new era in
Mountaineer football, an era I'll call WWG (Without Will Grier). It should be

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Jacques Clichés is on the horns of a dilemma. Unable
to kill two birds with one stone but still cautiously optimistic, at this point
in time, he would give an arm and a leg for closure. But, by any stretch of the
imagination, he remains up in the air, on the fence, scratching his head and
barking up the wrong tree.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Jacques makes no bones about it. Some people pooh-pooh
his efforts, more or less, and to be honest with you, those who want to see
heads roll, let the cat out of the bag while others spill the beans. By and
large, they pull no punches, so to speak. To tell you the truth, Jacques plays
his cards close to his vest, keeps his ducks in a row and finds the finger
pointing and raised eyebrows a hard row to hoe. But he bends over backwards,
sees the handwriting on the wall and at the drop of a hat, finds something to
float his boat, if you know what I mean. Jacques wants his cake and eat it, too
- the whole enchilada. Although he keeps his nose clean, he is like a bull in a
china shop. He goes out on a limb, puts his neck on the line, and sees light at
the end of the tunnel.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Jacques draws a line in the sand and in no way, shape,
or form, shoots himself in the foot. He rolls up his sleeves, sweeps his mess
under the rug, and in a nutshell, does not throw the baby out with th</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">e bath. He
bites the bullet, eats humble pie and takes the whole ball of wax.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">At the end of the day, Jacques sticks to his guns but
is out of the frying pan and into the fire. He is called on the carpet and no
one will go to bat for him. Some, who believe that the proof is in the pudding,
pull the rug out from under him, hold his feet to the fire and burn his
Achilles heel.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I loved
the letter from Tim Corsini (WI 1951) making liberal use of clichés. Since I do
a lot of writing, I’m sure that I am guiltier than most in overusing them. I
love to use sayings from the “good old days”, many of which were clichés.
However, I always try to be “above board” with my readers and even though I’ll
try to improve, I know that “action speaks louder than words” and I will
probably never be able to do an “about face”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">My
favorite cliché is from my favorite movie, “The Bridge on the River Kwai”, “All
work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy”. Be happy in your work!!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">The mystery man on the right is Allen
Alvarez. I knew his Mom Ruby and Dad Herman first when they had the Dairy Queen
in the West End. One of my 3 paper routes was in the West End and Ruby would
always give me a small cone. She was a great lady who loved to laugh! I saw
Allen for the first time when he pulled in behind the Dairy Queen in a Triumph
TR3. WOW! I think from that day forward I was hooked on sports cars. When I
opened the Auto Match "Sports car Specialist" during the gas crisis
of 1985 in Fairmont I knew who I needed to help me in the sports car business
it was "Guru" of sports cars, Allen. I contacted him and we attempted
to sell foreign cars to folks who wouldn't be caught dead in a foreign hearse.!
I went bankrupt and moved to Charleston SC and Allen moved to Florida.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Bill enlisted in the United States Army in 1949 after
attending Washington Irving High School. He married Talitha soon after his 20th
birthday. On his way to duty in Washington State the train stopped somewhere in
Nebraska and they learned of the war in Korea. None of the soldiers had ever
heard of Korea and had no idea where it was. Captured on November 30, 1950 at
Chosin Reservoir, he spent 989 days as a Prisoner of War. Bill was a “Tiger
Survivor”, an organization today of the survivors of the Camp Commander in
North Korea, where the prisoners nicknamed him “Tiger.” Of the 800 prisoners,
only 300 survived, of which less than 100 today belong to the “Tiger
Survivors.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

started a new series about Clarksburg Athletes last month. He personally

reminded us of all the great Clarksburg athletes who played with Tom (Victory
1965) throughout his years of playing Babe Ruth, American Legion, Junior High,
Victory and WVU sports a</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">nd the

questions and helping with this article. I believe the article is a prize

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Thanks
to Barbara Park (WI 1962) for submitting the picture above of the Chestnut
Hills Grade School Patrol boys train trip to Washington, DC about 1945-55. The
ones she could identify are Jim Hovey, Barry Rosenthal, Mike Patrick, Dan
Wheeler, Dave Kuhl, Larry or Gary Norris, she doesn’t remember the names of the
two boys in front. All of these boys graduated from WI in 1962.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I think
the October Mystery Picture was taken on a train taking School Patrol Boys to
Washington D.C. I can see two Patrol Badges in the picture. I don't recognize
the boys. If they graduated in 1962, the picture was probably taken in the
spring of 1956 since the trip was taken by sixth graders near the end of the
school year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
trip to Washington was a sixth-grade rite of passage back in the 50's when I
attended Pierpont Grade School. The year I went, it was a whirlwind trip,
leaving Clarksburg in the evening and arriving in D.C. early in the morning. I
remember we visited at least one museum, the Capitol Building, National
Airport, Mount Vernon and the Zoo. All in one day. I remember everyone being
psyched up, so nobody slept much on the trip from Clarksburg to Washington, but
after that schedule, we pretty much passed out on the trip home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
trip to the Capitol Building was very memorable because when I took the trip as
a sixth grader in 1954 there had just been an attack on the House of
Representatives when a group of Puerto Rican Nationalists opened fire from the
visitor’s gallery. That happened just a month or two before the trip and I vividly
remember the guide pointing out bullet holes in the walls of the House Chamber.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I was
never a school girl patrol. But I did go on one or maybe two trips to Washington D.C. as my daddy was a principal at some Harrison County Elementary Schools and
he took me along for educational purposes. I agree with David Ellis about the
excitement that surrounded us leaving the depot in Clarksburg, it may have been
my first train ride. No one slept that night, we were too excited. Couldn’t
even sit still. Some things I remember about Washington D.C. was riding a
paddle wheel boat on the Potomac River, visiting Mt. Vernon, seeing the
original Declaration of Independence, going to Arlington cemetery and seeing
the changing of the guards. We went into the capitol building and into the
House Chambers to walk the halls and see pictures and statues of past
presidents. We traveled around the town on a bus and saw all the sights. It was
a wonderful experience that I will never forget. Maybe that is where my love
for traveling was born.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">From: Bill Meredith (Monongah HS
1957)</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Growing up in a small town had many
advantages. One of those was the ability to know most of the people in my area.
In the 40's and 50's, it seemed that almost everyone had a nickname. Some of
them were appropriate and it was easy to figure out why the nickname was
chosen, while others apparently came out of nowhere.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Roleta mentioned in the last
newsletter that one of my brothers, Jack, had large ears as a youngster and had
the nickname of "Loppy". My other brother, Joe, tended to cry a lot
when he was 6 or 7 years old and earned two nicknames, "Pucker" and
"Lippy". One of my sisters got tagged with "Snaggle Tooth",
when she was losing her baby teeth. The name stuck with her until she was a
teenager.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Some of the other nicknames I
remember were "Pee Wee" given to a short man in town,
"Scotch", who drank a little too much occasionally,
"Bigfoot", a good friend of mine with big feet, and
"Duckfoot", another friend, who had a funny way of walking. Nicknames
that were given without any obvious reason included "Skip",
"Peaches", "Hoopy" and "Chick".</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My father was called
"Muggsie" and I have no idea why. My grandfather, on the other hand,
earned his nickname. He spent a few years as the town "Chief of
Police". He had a nervous habit of sniffing through his nose while talking
and was secretly called "Sniffles" by the local teenagers. One
Halloween night, the boys "borrowed" an outhouse and placed it in the
town square. On it, they hung a large sign, which read, "SNIFFLE'S
OFFICE". Our family laughed about that for many years, but never around my
grandfather.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I feel that nicknames are slowly
becoming a thing of the past. I think part of the reason is that years ago, we
could make fun of each other without anyone getting upset. Unfortunately, those
days are gone forever as the PC culture has taken over. Even Snow White's seven
dwarfs would probably be called common names like Fred, Tom, John, Bill, Jim,
Bud or Sam today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The only two nicknames that I can remember from
"back in the day" were SEEKS (for Bob Secret) and TEETS (for Bob
Teter), both WI, 1960. Every once in a while, some of my friends would refer to
me as LITTLE TEETS, with Bob being my brother, but I think the nicknames were strictly
for the two of these guys. These nicknames probably started when Bob and Bob
started playing sports together and thus to keep them separated the names were
given to them and they have stuck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Even
though this poem is probably referring to the 1950’s, we all had a time or a
“land that made me, me”. Our past is what created our memories and one of the
purposes of this newsletter is to allow each of us to share them. Among those
are memories of sports teams at local high schools with names like Washington
Irving for which this newsletter is named, Victory, Roosevelt Wilson, Kelly
Miller, Salem, Bristol, Lumberport, West Milford, Lost Creek, Shinnston and
Unidis. They are all gone now, victims of consolidation and changing times.
However, for most of us, they were a big part of “what made me, me”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Perhaps,
similar memories caused Coach Bill Bennett, the boys’ basketball coach at
Robert C. Byrd High School, to first think about honoring the three high
schools, which formerly served students living in the RCB attendance area. He
had seen teams wearing “throwback” uniforms and a couple years ago, began
thinking of how cool it would be for his team to play an actual game wearing the
uniforms of Kelly Miller, Roosevelt Wilson or Washington Irving, the three
schools mentioned above. However, there would be hurdles to clear, such as
permission from administrators, funding and many more. He knew that even his
current team only got new uniforms every three or four years, because they were
so expensive, so how could he possibly justify raising the money to cover the
cost of different uniforms, which would only be worn for one game?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">That is
when one of Bill’s friends, a former local high school basketball player,
became interested in the project. His enthusiasm and willingness to do much of
the leg work convinced Bennett that they could “pull it off”. The cost of the
uniforms would vary from year to year, but currently run about $130.00 each.
With hard work, support started coming from local businesses and the Board of
Education offered some help.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Coach
Bennett chose to honor the schools in the order of their closing. Therefore,
last season, in a game against Preston High School, his team wore replicas of
uniforms worn by the Kelly Miller Yellow Jackets. (See the picture above) In
the weeks after the game, 17 of the uniforms were sold for $100.00 each. Three
of the uniforms were not sold. Each of them was framed and had the number 18 on
them, designating the year they were worn, 2018. One was given to the Kelly
Miller Association for future display in the renovated school or gymnasium.
Another was given to the Board of Education for their conference room. The
third one is displayed at R C Byrd High School. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In
addition to the uniforms, Coach Bennett and his group sold long-sleeved black
tee shirts with Kelly Miller and the school mascot on the front. His team wore
these as warm-up jerseys for the game and the cheerleaders also wore them along
with the KM team colors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">One of
the benefits of honoring Kelly Miller was the support the team received from
former players and fans of the school. Many of the former players were in their
70’s and 80’s and actually attended the game. After the game, the RCB players
went up into the bleachers behind their bench to shake hands with several of
the Kelly Miller players and fans, many of whom were wearing the black KM tee
shirts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Another
benefit was the team being able to hear firsthand from W I grad Phil Carter (WI
1959), what it was like to play basketball at Kelly Miller and then, when the
school closed, attend W I and play there. Phil was able to relate to the
current RCB players what it was really like during the early days of school
desegregation in West Virginia. He went on to play basketball at Marshall
College (now University) and has been associated with the school ever since.
Coach Bennet wants to publicly thank Phil for taking the time to talk with his
team, offering them an invaluable educational opportunity and to also thank the
Kelly Miller Family for their support of last season’s event. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">With
the first hurdle cleared, what does Coach Bennett have in store for the coming
season? You might be surprised. You can read all about this and much more in
the December Newsletter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Our
thanks to Coach Bennett and to all those who helped make this project a
reality. It took a lot of hard work and community support to get it done.
Hopefully, it brought back some fond memories of the good old days and gave
each of you some insight of “What made you, you”.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">We were
sorry to hear that legendary basketball coach Joe Retton passed away on October
10, 2018. Jo-Jo, as many around Marion County knew him, coached at Fairmont State
from 1964-81, where his record was 478-95, a winning percentage of .836, the
highest of any men’s basketball coach across all collegiate levels. Prior to
FSU, he coached at Barrackville High School, where his winning percentage
approached what he did for the Fighting Falcons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Many
people always wondered why Retton never accepted a position at a big-time
program. Rumor had it that he feared flying and would always ride a train, when
his team appeared in the national NAIA tournament. If this is true, no further
explanation is needed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Congratulations
to Coach Bob Huggins and his staff for receiving a commitment from five-star
recruit Oscar Tshiebwe, a 6-foot-9 forward from Hermitage (PA) Kennedy
Catholic. Many think he may be the best addition to the program in the last
decade. However, we all know that it is a long way from a high school gym to
being able to star at a Power 5 conference school, so we’ll have to hold off
awarding him a gold star, just yet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Finally,
has anyone else noticed the numbers being put up by senior quarterback, Connor
Neal, at Fairmont Senior High School this season? I caught a couple of his
games on WV Metro News and have watched highlights of other wins by the 9-0
Polar Bears. I’ve seen dozens of good high school QB’s, including Art
Schlichter, who started as a freshman for Woody Hayes at Ohio State, but Neal
is the most accurate passer I can ever remember at this stage of his career. I
haven’t heard who is recruiting him, but would think that Dana Holgorsen would
be interested. If not, you can bet that Jason Woodman would love to have him at
Fairmont State.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">After
watching the Iowa State game, what many think was the poorest performance in
recent memory by a WVU football team, I thought the chance for a special season
was dead! However, the Mountaineers are still breathing, as evidenced by their
overwhelming win against Baylor last Thursday night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Had
they beaten the Cyclones and won out, they would have most certainly made the
national playoffs. After the loss, can they still get in by winning the rest of
their games? I say, yes, but they need a lot of help. I agree with most WVU
fans that a one loss Mountaineer team would get beat out for the playoffs by a
similar one loss team, which is currently ranked ahead of them, so that means
eight teams need to lose another game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Is that
possible? Yes, but not probable. I’m conceding that Alabama and Clemson are in.
I’m assuming that an undefeated UCF would not get in. West Virginia can knock
Texas and Oklahoma out by beating them. LSU loses to Alabama. Georgia beats
Kentucky and Florida, then loses in the SEC Championship game to Alabama. Penn
State upsets Michigan and Michigan beats Ohio State. There you have it—-eight
more teams with two losses.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">That
leaves Notre Dame. There is room for both WVU and the ND in the four-team
playoff, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Northwestern or Syracuse upset the
Irish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Am I
dreaming? Sure, I am, but wouldn’t it be something to watch? Quite honestly,
I’d be happy to just beat Texas and (especially) Oklahoma. Regardless of what
happens, I’ll miss seeing Will Grier tossing those long bombs, when the
Mountaineers take the field next year. Thanks for the memories.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Jacques Clichés does not beat around the bush or
preach to the choir. He puts his money where his mouth is and stirs the pot.
However, he often jumps the gun, flies by the seat of his pants, sees only the
tip of the iceberg, bites off more than he can chew, and gets in over his head
-- right off the bat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">But when the chips are down he thinks outside the box,
pushes the envelope, raises the bar and takes it up a notch to level the
playing field. When he steps up to the plate he is as cool as a cucumber and
strikes while the iron is hot even though he may not have a leg to stand on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">His cup of tea is flying in the face of adversity. He
throws caution to the wind as he opens a can of worms and connects the dots
with a fine-tooth comb. Jacques does not sit on his hands or rest on his
laurels. Instead, he pulls the plug and lets the chips fall where they may. He
knows that nothing is etched in stone, that when it rains it pours, that what
goes around comes around, that no good deed goes unpunished, and that if the
shoe is on the other foot -- it hurts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Jacques does not count his chickens before they hatch,
or expect a walk in the park - unless it’s in his neck of the woods. He will
not be caught whistling past the cemetery in the dark or be led down the garden
path. He puts his money where his mouth is, pays the piper, faces the music,
and risks being made to eat crow, get raked over the coals -- or thrown to the
wolves -- even if it means that he will end up in hot water and have his goose
cooked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you because the characters are strongly based on the wonderful real people that
I grew up around in WV. It is about a young lady who goes on a quest to find
her biological mother. Her search takes her to a small town in NC. She grew up
in a good Christian home in Atlanta and falls in love with the town and the
people. It is more than a love story, it is about what God does in the life of
his children when they seek Him.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Rebecca Smith Hunn (WI 1969)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
back roads and wooded landscapes of Taylor County, West Virginia, provide the
setting for a newly published mystery novel called “Finding Joe” by local
author, Rebecca Hunn. <o:p></o:p></span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Joe-Rebecca-Hunn/dp/0999398407/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1541007061&sr=1-1&keywords=Finding+Joe" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 19.3333px; text-align: left;" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">“Finding Joe” is available on Amazon.</span></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Hunn, a
rural Monongalia County resident, spent five years leasing the Marcellus Shale
in Booths Creek District, and doing title research in the Taylor County
Courthouse. It’s against this rich backdrop that her first novel, “Finding Joe”
was born.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
fictional Joe is one of four siblings who have inherited a significant interest
in oil and gas, a fact that comes as quite a surprise to the three who can be
found. The ownership is solid, but it’s origins, more than a hundred years ago,
are nothing short of nefarious. And it all starts to unravel when leasing
agent, Donna Cain, begins her search for Joe, the fourth and youngest sibling,
who left almost twenty years ago and hasn’t been heard from since.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">“Finding
people,” Hunn points out, “is just a routine part of the job. Oil and gas wells
have been drilled in north central West Virginia since the late 1800’s. People
would often sell a piece of land and reserve all or part of the oil and gas
under it. To lease those minerals now, you must find all the legal heirs of the
person who made that long-ago reservation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">“Finding
heirs is pure detective work,” Hunn said. “You go through dusty, thirty-pound
books in the courthouse basement, dig through Ancestry and Family Search, and
sometimes just google a name, a place and a date in the hopes something will
come up. The most exciting part is when you find that first warm body, a true
living heir.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">“I
especially cherish the conversations I have with older people who were born and
raised here but left at a young age. When they realize that I know the names of
their parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles, that I know where the old
family farm is, and I’ve driven there, then they start telling me stories. This
is still the home of their childhood and they cherish it. Those conversations are special.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The
plot line for “Finding Joe” is fiction, but Hunn admits she’s drawn on real
life to provide the details of her main character’s family. Hunn’s husband is a
cabinetmaker and musician a/k/a Soup Camel, and her son is a Sheriff’s Deputy
in Monongalia County, all characters who make up Donna Cain’s family in the
book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Hunn is
a graduate of Washington Irving High School (now Robert C. Byrd) in Clarksburg
and holds a Journalism degree from WVU. She had a thirty-one-year career in
radio sales at WCLG AM and FM in Morgantown before taking the plunge into oil
and gas. Her second book, set in both Marion and Harrison County, is already in
progress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.5pt;">So glad to
hear from you. I was 17 when I graduated and not 18 until the following
September so I am 96. Imagine that!! I use the computer and read the newsletter
with my magnifying glass. It the print was just a bit larger I could see it.
But I do alright just have to take it slow. Bill Jackson (WI 1943) may have
known my two brothers. Carris Radcliffe who played football and track. Darrell
Radcliffe was Vice Pres of Hi-Y. I was in music and drama. Had the lead in the
Senior play. I get along alright. Just can’t do the things I used to do like
cooking etc. as it affects my breathing. And of course, I use a walker. I don’t
want to fall. I have never smoked in my life and doctors had a time figuring
out why I was having problems with breathing. Finally decided chalk dust from
all my years of teaching. Seems reasonable. When I was teaching at WVU I
organized and was elected First President of the West Virginia Reading
Association. We are celebrating our 50th year and our State Conference is
coming up in November. I am asked to speak. It is always held in Nov at the
Greenbrier. I have done it before but not sure I can do it this time. It is the
largest professional organization in WV and I am very proud of it. We have a
Website if you want to look it up on the computer. It has a big error in it
saying Madge McDaniel was first pres. I appointed her when my term was up
because I knew she would be good for a </span><span style="font-size: 19.3333px;">fledgling</span><span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"> organization. And she was.
There are local councils all over the State. There is a Leadership conference
every July in Bridgeport. I spoke at that meeting last year and was supposed to
this year but my breathing kept me from doing it. I was prepared but now I
hesitate to say I will as I can’t be sure how I will feel.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Just thinking
and I was wondering if I am the only one who remembers the church bell ringing.
We lived on Stealey Avenue around the corner from the U.B.church. That is what
it was when I was a kid. UB stood for United Brethern. My mother attended
church there when she was a little girl too. My brothers and I went there to
Sunday School That church was an established part of the neighborhood and the
lives of many families. A long rope was attached to the bell in the steeple. On
Sunday mornings the first bell would ring at 8:30 to let us know church was
open. The second bell would ring at quarter til 9 letting us know we should be
there and the last bell rang at 9 telling us Sunday School was starting.
Amazing what we remember, isn’t it? Now the bell and the church are long gone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Sandra, it is so good to have an update on your adult life.
It is so good to hear that you are still in the land of the living. I remember
so very many of the things you mentioned about Martin Street. I remember slumber
parties at Janet Webb's house. I remember “Bunky” well and have wondered quite
often whatever happened to him after all of us grew up. He was a bit older than
you and I, but I don't remember by how much. Of course, I remember Jack
Borror's house backing up to yours or nearly so because I had a huge crush on
him the entire time I was in elementary school. You likely remember that!
Thanks so much for remembering my wonderful parents. I remember yours as well.
And, yes, I did know that you were adopted by your aunt and uncle. It is truly
wonderful that you have found a sister. Sisters are the greatest. My sister,
Janna, (WI 1954), is still living in Broad Oaks with her husband Jerry
Westfall. Our brother, Tom, (WI 1939), celebrated his 97th birthday in August
and lives with his wife of 72 years, Betty McMillan, (WI 1944), at Maple Lake.
Our brother, Keith, (WI 1941), died in 1991. I hope you've had a wonderful
life. It sounds as though you have. It is just wonderful that you posted a note
in the WI Newsletter.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Roleta. I don’t have a clue. Brother Randy celebrated his 50th anniversary of
graduating WI this year. So, it’s a member of the class of 1968 who’s asking.
It’ll be interesting to see what answers are forthcoming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

another question that no one answered. I am sure Miss. Nutter played the piano

planned a picnic for anyone from Clarksburg, WV. It will be held on Saturday, March
9<sup>th</sup> in Sarasota, FL. I have been saying in the newsletter to SAVE
THE DATE for several months. I have not heard if you are interested or not. I
am taking a survey to see if it is worth me doing all the planning if no one is
coming. Just drop me a line to tell me if you are interested and if you are
planning to attend. I know it is a few months away but I am sure you know if
you will (if possible) or will not attend. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">From:
James S. Stout (Weston 1948)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In many parts of America (post WW I) Air Mail service
was provided by brave pilots flying WW I type “Jennies” (a training “bi-plane”)
or similar. Charles Lindberg was one of these pilots serving middle America –
Chicago – Peoria – and nearby cities that had airports that allowed landing for
pick-up and delivery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">After WW II somebody had a new idea – small remote
towns with no scheduled passenger service could better be served by “dropping”
mail for local delivery in a “can” – and “picking-up” air-mail for other cities
by using a cable with a “hook” on the end – grabbing a “can” of mail attached
to a loop of cable placed on two steel rods – as the plane flew just above the
posts the hook could grab the loop and carry it (and the attached “can”) which
could be pulled into the plane – and the loop could then be returned to the
ground crew.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">West Virginia at this time had very little “scheduled
air” passenger service – perhaps Charleston and Huntington had daily service –
Clarksburg Benedum and Elkins probably did not – even if the railroads gave good
service.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I saw the “Drop and Pick-up” in action once at
Jackson’s Mill – serving Weston and cities nearby. The plane appeared over the
nearby hill – dove easily toward the two posts just on the airport side of the
river, - simultaneously dropping a can and picking up the loop and can strung
between the posts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">So Roleta is relentless at times, constantly asking
for input for the great newsletter she has excited us with for years!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I told her, sometimes we don’t always have stories
about growing up in and around Clarksburg and going to high school in the 50’s.
A time for the ages for sure… Some of us have a better memory and memories than
others!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Then I said some of us also left north central WV
early in our lives, and have been traveling ever since!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In a nutshell, I went to Morgantown from 59-64, Navy
Career 64-95, after retirement from Navy, worked in Belgium, 95-98, DC area
98-99, San Diego 99 – 2010. FINALLY quit working full time and moved to Hawaii
in 2010 – 2016, and now live in Seattle, WA. So many experiences in those
times, with not enough space to relate. Standing on the Great Wall of China in
1980 was one of them!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I am not bragging or even complaining, just wondering
where the hell the time went. Certainly, glad that wherever I was there were
ways I could stay connected to Clarksburg, my family, and of course WVU. My
brother always made sure I had a hat or two, some shirts or jackets that had
the logo. Even today I wear them here in Seattle and always get a nod or “I am
from ___.” Large contingent of alumni here as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

summer!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I received the newsletter and as usual another great
one. Thanks to everyone for the great letter. This has to be the best
newsletter college or high school in the country. </span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Thanks again and the check is ready to be sent for the
scholarship.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I was
in WV from 8/17 through 8/26. I had a Kuhl family reunion on 8/19 in Glenville then
the WI Class of 1962 dinner on 8/23, then a picnic planning meeting on 8/24 and
the WI picnic on 8/25 and then headed back south on 8/26.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I also
managed to visit friends or family in Keyser, Elkins, Charleston, Weston, Jane
Lew, Philippi, Clarksburg, Bridgeport, Fairmont and Grafton.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I also
visited libraries in Clarksburg, Philippi and Weston and visited a few gift
shops looking for something for my sister, who lives in Cortez, CO. I bought
her a “Take me home, WV” tee shirt at the HCPD library and a Jackson ’s Mill
beach towel at Jackson ’s Mill. She had both knees replaced and spends a lot of
time in a resistance pool exercising.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><span style="color: #262626;">I had
done an interview with a local TV station which they broadcast on 8/20 while I
was out of town. When the tech was fitting me for the microphone, he attached
the telemetry pack to my belt in the back then ran the mic up under my shirt
and out my sleeve. Then he ran it from the sleeve to under my chin and popped
off the top button of my shirt when he attached the mic to the front of my
shirt. I thought I was going to look like a homeless person with my shirt tail
out in the back and a button missing in the front. However, if I did not point
these out, you probably would not notice. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">It was
a good safe trip. I got back just in time for a hurricane practice. Gordon
knocked down a few limbs but did not do me any damage. People on the other side
of the eye path got a lot of damage from wind and rain including one death
where a tree fell on a home in Pensacola.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

everyone has had a safe summer and is looking forward to fall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">First
many thanks for Roleta and the amazing job she has done for years. What
dedication!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Jim
Alvaro gave me the nudge with the 4<sup>th</sup> grade picture, which sent him
some names, so here goes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Martin
Street ended at Elk Creek Keller’s lived in the end house and had 2/3 horses
and barn on the bank. Mrs. Boggess on the other side ran numbers and a black
limo would drive down the street daily and pick them up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Mrs
Kerns had a greenhouse and sold plants and flowers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">“Bunky”
Brown lived across the street and we would gather at the street light for Hide
N Seek and Kick the Can. His Grandma, wore an Aunt Jemima bandana, and Grandpa
would sit on the porch. She would yell “Bunky” get under that street light
where I can see you”. We loved it and laughed-heck we couldn’t see him either.
She would make us yummy donuts. At that time “Bunky” attended Kelly Miller High
School.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Borror’s
lived behind us. Webb’s lived up the street. My parents never went many places
so the Webb’s would take me on picnics and other places. I remember Neil
Woofter? Don, Jim and Mary Sue’s parents were also special.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Gypsies
camped along the West Fork River. Jack was a deputy sheriff and threatened if I
didn’t behave they would take me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Alta
Vista: Mr. Lawson always waiting at end of hall each morning. If you ate lunch
at school and they had soup beans he would add a dab of ketchup in yours as he
liked it in his.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In Mrs.
Iams 1<sup>st</sup> grade she made each of us a construction paper marker for reading.
Walter Wiltsie sat beside me and grabbed mine and tore it up, so I hauled off
and hit him and she took me to the cloak room for a whack. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Most of
us took tap with Mr. Louie. There was some kind of program with crepe paper
costumes, I remember I was a flower.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Miss
Morrow took a nap every day and supposedly so did we.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In Miss
Bauer’s speech class, she used the blackboard a lot and one day she got up and
there were a bunch of thumb tacks stuck in her corset. Now who would have done
such a thing?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Lived
in the same house until 1960 when I married Chuck Beverly. He transferred with
the post office to FL in 1970 and I worked as a high school bookkeeper. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I have
2 daughters, one is a widow and high school teacher who lives next door and the
other works for the Tampa Bay Lightning. I now live in New Port Richey, so if
you are over this way look me up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In 1999
after all family had passed found out that I was adopted by Margaret and Jack
Squires in 1939 and Ruth Douglas (Margaret’s sister) was my mother--father
unknown. She lived with us until I got married.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Nancy
Keller, George’s wife, said everyone on Martin and the neighborhood knew, so I
am wondering if this is true. Then found out all cousins in family knew and I
had a sister. From a few old letters I started a long search and in 2003, I found
her. We began corresponding and met, cruised and see each other at least once a
year and there is no doubt we are sisters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">So,
wondering if anyone remembers any of this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Ooplets</span></i><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"> is a book of illustrated poetry laced with enough
absurdity to be sharply funny, evoking frequent laugh-out-loud responses while
complex enough to make one think. Teens, pre-teens and forty-something children
can be entertained with this collage of homonyms and conflicting noun and verb
usages. Comical illustrations serve to exaggerate and reinforce their meanings.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">On
September 11, 2018, Bill and I had lunch at the Nutcracker Restaurant in
Pataskala, Ohio with Bill Jackson (WI 1943). He resided with his family on
Austin Street in Broad Oaks. He played soft ball in city leagues. He also liked
to play golf. Mr. Jackson graduated from high school and volunteered to serve
in the Navy for the rest of the War. After returning to the states he enrolled
at Fairmont State and upon graduation he taught a year of Math. He spent most
of his years working for I.B.M. We had a very nice visit with him. Just as our
lunch was ending, he mentioned that he was a descendant of Samuel Stalnaker
(who came to American in 1705). I said, well, we are probably cousins! I
checked, we are cousins! However, there are probably now thousands of
descendants of Mr. Samuel Stalnaker!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My
favorite auto had to be my Jaguar XK140MC. When I graduated from WVU my first
job was in Denver Colorado. I had an old Plymouth sedan at Morgantown and my
wife and I drove it out there and the old gal (car not wife) performed well. I
got worried once because while driving through Kansas it kept pulling to the
left. I stopped at a garage to get it checked. The mechanic just laughed and
said “You’re in Kansas now and the wind is always blowing you across the
highway. We safely arrived in Colorado and drove the Plymouth for another year
or two but the mountains and frigid winters were too much for the old car. We
had already purchased our first house so we went looking for a car. We tried to
trade in the Plymouth but no dealer wanted it. I ended up swapping the car for
a deer rifle. We found the "Jag" and immediately fell in love with
it. Lots of power and speed (but no citations). great in the mountains and we
drove it back to WV a few times. But alas, then time to start a family, so back
to a station wagon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Another great picnic is in the books. But, I believe
this was the best and biggest since I took over 3 years ago. We had 109
attendees with some traveling across the United States to be here. The class of
1959 had the largest number of attendees with 15, and they had the longest
travelers with Vince Fragomene, Seattle, Washington and Mickie Ford Brummage,
Edmond, Oklahoma. There were others from other classes who came from afar also
such as: Francis Muscari, Norfolk, VA, Bob Teter, Kingsport, TN, Carole Findlay
Cinci, Athens, TN, Dave Kuhl, Ocean Springs, MS, Ruth Ann Martin Hill, Stone
Mountain, GA, Bob Combs, Winter Park, FL, Jerry Mick, Virginia Beach, VA and
Shirley Burnell Melles, Melbourne, FL.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">This year the Committee decided to give prizes for the
farthest traveled, oldest class attendee, youngest class attendee, and instead
of tickets, we drew names for other prizes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Next year’s Picnic is going to be held on August 24,
2019, (<b>MARK YOUR CALENDARS</b>) at the HILLTOP PAVILION at the VA Park which is
just to the left as you enter the Amphitheater entrance and directly across
from our old pavilion on the right. Don’t worry if I have confused you, there
will be signs pointing you in the right direction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I hope to see lots of our classmates again next year
and I put out the challenge to all classes to get your fellow classmates
together for next year and see who has the most represented.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Nicknames were very popular when we were growing up. However, due to political
correctness and many other reasons we seldom hear nicknames today. Tell us some
of the nicknames you remember. Tell us the real name of the person if you can
remember of tell us something about the person. These can be persons around
town or in school. For instance, some people are called by names that have
absolutely nothing to do with their given name. An example, one of Bill’s
relatives was called “Loppy” when he was young because he had big
ears…Remember? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My very first job was at the Stealey Swimming Pool in
the early 60’s working there during the high school summers was an opportunity
that I could never have expected. Not only was it fun filled, but taught me a
lot about responsibility, relationships and especially myself. Swimming of
course was the added bonus, spending off hours at the pool in my pass time.
Many wonderful memories of lifeguard training, water melon races and 4<sup>th</sup>
of July events including homemade ice cream come to mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Still to this day I love to spend time in a pool, now
more aerobic exercise, but always a way to relax and enjoy people. Thanks for
jogging those memories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

with: starting on the right John Sutton (Bridgeport); myself; Helen and Mike
whose last names are still in the vault, (might need some help there). John
& Mike were lifeguards while Helen and I worked the check-in counter where
personal belongings could also be left for safe keeping.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">September mystery picture is Stealey Pool. I swam for
Chestnut Hills Swim team from 1963 – 1970. I started swimming at age 10 and
swam through age 18. Every year we would go to Stealey Pool for the Stealey
Invitational. When we swam, the Invitational was only one day. We would swim
preliminaries Saturday morning, go home for a break and to eat, then if you qualified,
go back in the evening for finals. This was always the last swim meet of the
summer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">It’s Haley. I was just checking up and reporting my
progress for the first month of school. College has been going great! I have
learned that Fairmont is basically stairs lol. As the first month continues on
I seem to be getting out of my shell and meeting new people and joining some
clubs and activities. My classes are great! I am taking Math, English, Anatomy,
Anatomy Lab, Psychology, and freshman Soar class! I am staying on top of my
work and getting good grades. I am maintaining a job at the same time. I am
truly enjoying Fairmont State! Can’t wait to see what next month has in store!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Jacques Clichés is skating on thin ice and doesn’t
have a leg to stand on. The deck is stacked against him; he is at the end of
his rope and fit to be tied but he doesn’t let things get under his skin. He
has a millstone around his neck but he is not at wits end. While it’s a hard
pill to swallow, Jacques takes it with a grain of salt. He thinks outside the
box, pushes the envelope, pulls out all the stops, leaves no stone unturned and
goes over the top to level the playing field. In his heart of hearts, Jacques
knows that what goes around comes around.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">At the blink of an eye, Jacques gets his back up,
throws down the gauntlet, gets down to brass tacks, lays all his cards on the
table and puts his money where his mouth is. He flies by the seat of his pants
but never flies off the handle. He has a plan up his sleeve and knows it like
the back of his hand. He vows to turn the tables on his foes and get the upper
hand. Armed to the teeth, he does not talk out of both sides of his mouth; he

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Jacques does not hide his light under a bushel, knows
that no one can hold a candle to him and believes he can walk on water. He
stays on his toes, fights tooth and nail and causes foes to wring their hands
while he fans the flames and holds their feet to the fire. Jacques has another
victory under his belt - if only by the skin of his teeth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #404040; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Thanks for sending the picture. Those guys look like
all business. It would be interesting to know what other schools had golf teams
back then. Did you compete against mostly local schools from the Big Ten
Conference or did you have to travel out of the area to find competition? Also,
where did you play your home matches?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">It was good to see the Mountaineer football coaching staff and players
get further involved with the WVU Medicine Children's Hospital by starting a
new ritual. During the walk to the stadium (The "Mantrip"), the team,
coaches and fans (if possible), turn and wave to the children at the hospital.
It is something that has been done at the University of Iowa for a few years.
Since Coach Dana Holgorsen is from Iowa and knew about what was being done at
Iowa City, he suggested it be started at WVU.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Apparently, it is on September 15, 2018. Tiny Hundred High School in
Hundred, WV (Wetzel County) fields a football team which had lost 50
consecutive games. Their last victory was in the last game of the 2010 season.
On Saturday, September 15, that streak ended as the Hornets defeated Hannan
High School, 42-26. They did this with only 17 healthy players. Supposedly, Hundred
is the smallest school in the state to field a football team.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The team was rewarded by locals near midnight, when they returned to the
town following a three-hour bus ride home from the game. They were met by five
fire trucks with full lights on about two miles from their home field and
escorted to the lighted stadium, where 75-100 fans greeted them with loud
cheers.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Elsewhere in
this newsletter is a story about Bobby Bowden learning the hard way to never
sit on a big lead. Dana Holgorsen almost made the same mistake against Texas
Tech. I'm not sure if the WVU coaching staff was just too close to the Tech
staff and didn't want to blow them out or what the problem really was, but
after the first quarter, WVU buttoned up their offense and nearly lost the
game. I guess that if you win, you can't complain too much, but it certainly
made the old ticker flutter a few times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">If the
Mountaineers can get the offense on track, they <span class="MsoHyperlink">should be</span> 7-0
going into the Texas game. The defense is vastly improved, but can't be left on
the field too long or it will break down. It has been an interesting season so
far and, as predicted, this team is fun to watch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The WI Newsletter is now in its 20th
year. What began as an attempt to keep a single class from Washington Irving
High School together has turned into an outlet for memories from not only all
Harrison County high schools, but also from schools located in other parts of
West Virginia and the country.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Since we started the sports section
of the newsletter a few years ago, we have depended mostly on letters from our
readers for the content, while throwing in an occasional opinion or update on
the current local sports scene. Getting people to share their memories has
become more difficult as the months and years have passed. Because of this, we
thought it would be interesting to start interviewing local athletes who played
sports in Harrison County through the years. There would certainly be thousands
of subjects from which to choose, but when and where do we begin?</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">That question was answered for us a
few months ago, when we did a piece on the number of young men from Clarksburg,
who are listed on the all-time roster of WVU football players. We received a
letter from Gladys Williams (WI 1971), informing us that her husband, Tom
Williams, played for the Mountaineers from 1967 to 1970. She also stated that
she thought that Tom might have been the last player from Clarksburg to score a
touchdown for WVU. This definitely got our attention.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In late August, while in Clarksburg
for the WI Picnic, we were able to interview Tom and Gladys Williams at their
home. The resulting article is below. Please note that this ended up being not
only a piece about Tom's career, but we've included some very interesting
stories about his experiences <b>(in bold
type)</b>, while playing sports in Harrison County and at WVU. We feel that
even though it is a long article, it is well worth the read, especially if you
love local sports and Mountaineer football. Coach Bobby Bowden was quoted as
describing Tom by saying, "He gets my vote as the boy with the biggest
heart. I couldn't put into words how tough he is". </span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><b>When
Tom was 16 years old in 1965, he “graduated” from Babe Ruth baseball to
American Legion ball. Only three players from his league made the American
Legion team that year, Paul Romano, from Notre Dame, Larry Alvaro from W I and
Tom. Some of the older players on that team were Felix Veltri, Pete Secret, Tim
Brinkley, Braden Swaney, Bruce Chapnick, Tom Quickle and Jim Salentro. Tom
remembers that team so well, because they were “loaded”. In many games, they
were so far ahead, that the game had to be stopped due to the mercy rule. Their
coach was “Smiley” Jamison, who was a coach at Bridgeport HS. Most of the games
were played at either Nutter Fort or Anmoore.</b></span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">He started playing football when he was in the 8<sup>th</sup>
grade. He was too small to play in the 7<sup>th</sup> grade and almost didn’t
get to play in the 8<sup>th</sup> grade, but after he scored four touchdowns
against Central, the coach decided it was okay for him to play. He played in
the 8<sup>th</sup> and 9<sup>th</sup> grade at Northview Junior High and then
played football for three years at Victory High School, starting in 1964.
Because of his speed, his nickname was “Hot Rod”. Tom also played baseball in
high school and would have played basketball, but was injured in both his
sophomore and junior years while playing football, which ruined his chances to
play basketball at Victory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Tom played both defense and offense in football until
halfway through his junior year, but due to some nagging injuries, his coach,
John Mazzei, decided he was no longer going to play defense. Then, against
Buckhannon-Upshur later that year, he had a serious knee injury which would
prevent him from playing anymore defense in high school. He was taken to WVU to
see Whitey Gwynne, the famous athletic trainer, who confirmed the need for
surgery. Dr. W K Smith at West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh performed the knee
surgery. After extensive rehab, Tom was cleared to play football his senior
year, with the stipulation that the knee would have to be taped for every
practice and game. Coach Mazzei learned how to tape the knee from a local
physical therapist named Joe Manchin, and did so before every practice. On
Fridays, before a game, Tom would go to have Mr. Manchin do the taping. Later,
at WVU, Tom had to go through the same routine of taping before every practice
and game. His right knee still gives him some problems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

only football game Tom lost in high school was to Buckhannon-Upshur his senior
year, 13-7. Victory fumbled three times inside B-U’s five-yard line. It was the
largest crowd he ever saw at Hite Field. That night was the first time Tom ever
met Bobby Bowden, the offensive coordinator at WVU at the time, who was at the
game, recruiting Tom and Mike Gillespie, from B-U. Tom received a scholarship
offer after the season ended. He had made 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-state his
junior year and 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state his senior year, along with Mike
Gillespie of B-U. They were the two running backs on the 1<sup>st</sup>team
all-state team that year. Joe Michael was the B-U coach. Tom’s coach at
Victory, John Mazzei, played college football at WV Wesleyan with Joe Michael
and they may have been roommates. Joe later went to Virginia, where he had a
very successful coaching career. His son, Mike Michael, from Fredericksburg,

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">After graduating in 1967, Tom went to WVU to play for
head coach, Jim Carlen and offensive coordinator, Bobby Bowden. He was 5’-9”
tall, weighed between 175 to 180 lbs. and played halfback or scat back, as the
faster backs were known back then. He played on the freshman team in 1967,
since freshmen could not play varsity at that time. In 1968, he played mostly
on the practice squad, followed by varsity ball in 1969 and 1970. Incidentally,
1969 was the first year there was AstroTurf on old Mountaineers Field. The
first game that year was against the University of Cincinnati. Tom scored a
touchdown, while gaining about 70 yards. However, he hurt his shoulder so badly
that he couldn’t raise his arm for over
a week. In major college football, there is a window of opportunity and you
need to take advantage of it when it opens. The shoulder injury basically
“closed the window” on his playing time for the balance of the year. At the
time, he was playing behind Jim Braxton and Bob Gresham, both of whom ended up
in the WVU Hall of Fame and played in the NFL.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

games stand out in Tom’s memory. One is the muddy 1969 Peach Bowl in Atlanta,
where WVU beat South Carolina, after changing their offense to the wishbone,
due to their best receivers being injured and the availability of six quality
running backs. The team finished the season with a record of 10-1, which was
the best record for a West Virginia team since 1922. Their only loss was to a
great Penn State team. The WVU roster included around 20 players from West
Virginia, which seldom if ever happens today.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

WVU beat South Carolina in the 1969 Peach Bowl, Jim Carlen left and Bobby
Bowden became the new head coach. Carlen had taken half of his staff with him
to Texas Tech. Coach Bowden learned a lot that first year. One vivid memory was
of the Pitt game that year. WVU was leading 35-8 at the half and ended up
losing the game. Many rumors circulated around about the game and most of them
were false. For instance, the players were not arguing among themselves in the
locker room at halftime. In fact, every player wanted to double the score and
beat Pitt 70-8. </b></span><br />

field was four-down territory. They then proceeded to use two fullbacks and two
tight ends and as Tom put it, “They literally ran the ball down our throat”.
The momentum changed and the rest is history. On that day, Bobby Bowden learned
that it was never safe to sit on a lead and he never did again for the rest of

his two college coaches, Tom enjoyed playing for Bobby Bowen more than Jim
Carlen. According to Tom, both Carlen and Bowden were instrumental in starting
the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at WVU while he was there. In 2010, almost
40 years after Tom left WVU, Coach Bowden returned to Morgantown for a
fundraiser for the organization at the Waterfront Hotel. Tom and many other
former players under Bowden were invited to attend. Tom had not seen or had any
contact with the coach in all that time. Realizing that Bowden had probably
recruited over a thousand players since 1970, he decided to go up and introduce
himself to his old coach, knowing that after 40 years, coaches seldom remember
players who were not stars on their teams. Tom moved in near Coach Bowden and
stuck his hand out to shake hands and introduce himself, when Bowden turned
around and looked at him and said, “Tommy Williams”. Tom was shocked and blown
away that Bowden remembered him after all those years.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><b>That
same evening, as they were preparing to take pictures of Coach Bowden with his
former players, the then coach at WVU, Bill Stewart, approached and Tom
introduced himself. Stewart said that he remembered Tom very well. Stewart was
a freshman at WVU when Tom was a senior and he, Braxton and Gresham were some
of his idols. Stewart was a walk-on from New Martinsville and was a long (and
special) snapper. Freshmen had their own team and locker room, etc., so they
really didn’t mingle with the varsity players then like they do
today. Tom thinks that Bill Stewart probably knew him from meeting
him at another location, also. Tom had worked as a facilitator at the
Fellowship of Christian Athletes camp at Jackson’s Mill between his junior and
senior year at WVU. He was in charge of a cabin that included all the athletes
from New Martinsville and Stewart was probably there. Wilbert “Wib” Newton also
was in the cabin and ended up getting a scholarship to play linebacker at West
Virginia. Of course, Bill Stewart transferred to Fairmont State and later
played for the Falcons.</b></span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Tom and his wife are season ticket holders for both
football and basketball at WVU. Gladys recently served four years on the
Mountaineer Fan Experience Committee, which was formed to discuss the needs of
Mountaineer fans to help enhance the fan experience at events, an idea which
originated with former AD Oliver Luck. She was one of five ladies chosen for
the committee. One member was a gentleman from Romney, WV, who has attended
over 400 consecutive home basketball games. Gladys claimed that this person
brought dozens of great ideas to the committee and many were accepted and used
by the university.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">When asked if young people should specialize in one
sport at an early age, Tom indicated that he felt that if they did this, they
would be doing themselves a disservice. Playing multiple sports gave him an
opportunity to meet many other young men, some of whom became lifelong friends.
Even though you might compete against them later in high school sports, if you
played with them earlier in organized sports, like Babe Ruth baseball, you knew
that they were really nice guys and you respected them much more. Therefore, he
feels that if you are talented enough, you should try to play as many sports as
possible when you are young.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Some
of the better players Tom remembers seeing as a youngster in Clarksburg were
Dominic Marano, Jim Salentro, Butch Leeson and Sonny Bastin at Victory and
Bobby Secret and Gene Donaldson at WI.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><b>As
for high school teammates, the best player was probably Jimmy Salentro, who was
two years ahead of Tom. He played fullback and was the West Virginia State High
School Player of the Year in 1964. He went on to play at WVU (66-67) He was an
outstanding athlete. He played all three sports and was a better baseball
player than he was a football player. He had offers to play pro baseball, but
opted to go to WVU. He graduated from Victory in 1965.</b></span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">During
our discussion, Tom offered a couple of interesting observations. He stated
that during his days of playing sports at Victory and football at WVU, he never
heard a coach use vulgar language nor do anything that would embarrass a
player, the coach or the school. He is amazed by the behavior of some coaches
at all levels of sports today, from Pop Warner to high schools and colleges.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><b>As
for the current football coach at WVU, Tom feels that Dana Holgorsen is “coming
around”. The school has let him feel his way along and he has “learned how to
coach” during his first few years there. He thinks Dana has also come to
understand what it means to play and to coach football at West Virginia and is
pleased to see him get deeply involved in promoting the proposed new children’s
hospital at the university. In other words, Holgorsen is discovering what it
means to be a Mountaineer.</b></span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I’m proud to say that Tom Williams didn’t have to
learn that lesson. From his days of playing “baseball” using a taped-up rag
ball and broomstick on the streets of Clarksburg, local Babe Ruth and American
Legion baseball and high school and college football to attending almost every
WVU home football and basketball game, he has proven that he has always been
and will always be a True Mountaineer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

pictured are two to three years older than I am, so I could only stand back,
admire them from afar and lament that I was born too late. But with the aid of
the 1952-year book, I came up with some fair guesses for those I was not
reasonably sure of. Here goes, front row left to right, including the two faces
partially hidden behind the front row Nancy Rymor; Katie Custer; Marion Reep;
Ann Brannon; Latitia Johnson; Diana Robey and Ann Ralston. Back row, Irene
Armour; Mary Jo Urso; Hilda Gower; Unknown; Carol Tomes; Shirley Stotler and

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">The leaves of autumn will soon bedeck the “hills of home” in
glorious color as two beautiful; and talented teens return to go to college in
WV after a three month “working vacation” in the Pacific Northwest. Their
talents have been rewarded beyond their wildest dreams, and their pursuit of
love and happiness may have also been rewarded. Alpha Lee is an artist, who
finds phenomenal success selling her lovely creations in charcoal and oils and
enjoys designing and sewing creative costumes for her classmate Susan, a singer
of ballads and popular love songs, with a marvelous voice and stage presence;
but with an indescribable history of abuse that has led to the incarceration of
her molester; and a visible and seemingly eternal personality impairment. Janus
(a high school friend) who worked during summers in the coal mines at an early
age and has a history of working with large mechanical beasts; is a lonely
soldier working in the motor pool and teaching others how to drive the huge
“tank-hauling” tractor-trailer rigs-has provided shelter and safety in a rustic
cottage he is renting-but he will not be staying back east after a short visit
with his parents-his part-time job off base has led to a full-time offer with
college tuition benefits after his discharge in August. Hs army duties and
workplace friends also add color and excitement to their summer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Thanks to Mike and to Jim for responding. I have read Mike’s book.
It is really good because it is mainly about Clarksburg. I hope to read one of
Jim’s as I am interested. He also seems to have written about West Virginia.
Jim, they both look to be very good.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I'm guessing August's Mystery Child is none other than my pal Buck

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">All those who have left Clarksburg need a "go-to" guy like I
have with Buck. He keeps me up to date on the goings on and with info about
those who have passed on in Clarksburg. For years I have contacted him letting
him know ahead of time when I'll be going home. For many years we have met for
breakfast every day that I am there. In those years we have met Bob Hart at Bob
Evans in Bridgeport. Bob, Buck, and I would sit there for a couple hours just
talking about the old time: Basketball, Football or anything else we wanted to
talk about. Several times Bob would ask about my brother in law, Dave Ferraro.
I would relay a message to Dave from Bob and vice a versa. Then one trip Dave
was in Clarksburg same time as I due to a family funeral. We surprised Bob when
Buck and I walked in Bob Evans with Dave. Buck and I sat there listening to Bob
and Dave talk about their lives since seeing each other many years ago. It was
hard to believe how much they had in common in their travels with companies
they represented. It was a wonderful get together.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Also, for many years after breakfast, Buck and I would get in his car, go
to an Italian market in North View, and buy some pepperoni, bread, and some
pop. I would say, where to this time Buck?" He would always say,
"you'll see." I thought I knew Clarksburg as well as anyone. NOT! I
didn't know that the extension of Duncan Ave in Stealey would end somewhere
near Victory High School. I believe it was Duncan. Another time we headed out
past Willow Beach and someway we ended up in Hepzibah. We stayed off of
interstates, and as many paved roads as he could avoid. All this time we
counted up how many deer we could see. One day, in a few hours, we counted
upwards of 200+ deer. There were some fields that had 15 to 20 deer grazing.
Every trip with Buck was an experience. I really looked forward going home and
spending time with Buck.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">So, I wish everyone going back home had a contact person as I have with
Buck. It really helps to have someone to hang out with after you get through
visiting your relatives. (Which are now getting scarce.)</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

for my 4 siblings and I. He was bald and always wore a white lab/doctors coat.
He suffered a heart attack while shoveling snow. He and his wife, Mae attended
daily morning Mass at Immaculate Conception Parish on Pike Street next to Notre
Dame High School and St Mary's Grade School. I was an Altar Boy and they would
often give me a ride home. We lived 2 blocks apart. They lived on Spring Street
and I lived on Hedge Street. He was truly a fine man.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

was bald and he always had on his lab coat. When he came over to the house he’d
just have his suit jacket on. They usually don’t wear them home because who
knows what is on them. In those years they were sent out to cleaners. He was the kindest Doctor ever I’ve never had
one like him since growing up in Clarksburg!</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Kudos to Emmalee Hite on her piece on her Dad. Beyond the words,
those two photos "spoke to me". While the athletic teams prospered
under his replacement, Coach Hite was and remained the icon of athletics @ WI
and, frankly, throughout the Big Ten Conference. Good job, Em!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">The Oliker twins, Dick & Dan, were a year ahead of me and, as
I warmed the bench, they held down each end of both the offensive and defensive
lines on the football team. I was told that when it came down to going to
college, their Dad flipped a coin. Dan - WVU; Dick - USAF. As mentioned, Dan
became the WVU Mountaineer and, as I ended up at Penn State (Boo-Hiss!) I had
the pleasure of introducing him to the Nittany Lion when WVU visited Happy
Valley. Both Olikers were top shelf guys!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">So, I am
going to try to answer some of the questions from the August Newsletter. Hope
that I am successful!</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">There was
a male cheerleader at WI who graduated in 1949. His name was Robert Malone and
he went on to become a helicopter pilot in the USMC. He is the older brother of
Joe "HOP" Malone, WI 52. I met him finally at Camp Gifu, Japan in
1955 when I was stationed at that base as a Marine Pfc, and working as a USMC
Postal clerk on the base. I recognized him in our PX and asked if I could tell
him his name. He said that I could, and so I did so, and then revealed that his
brother and I were friends in school. He was really helpful to me, as I had
been given a reel to reel tape recorder as a graduation gift from my parents.
My mom and dad would record a tape and then send it to me. Unfortunately, the
current in Japan was a lower voltage and frequency, and I had no tape recorder
to play it on, anyway. Bobby said, "Just bring it over to my BOQ and I
will play it for you". He had a tape recorder, and a voltage regulator
that would step up the current, and they played very well. I was very
appreciative of his friendship.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">There was
a male drum major in the 1953 WI Marching Band. His name was James Ray Woofter.
He was a twirler for the two years prior to his becoming the drum major. I was
a snare drummer in 52, 53, & 54. I was fortunate enough to be chosen
president of the band as a senior in 1954. I knew Jim and he did a very
competent job as drum major and was a good leader.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">As to the
mystery picture, I will try to identify the ladies. I knew everyone in that
group, but my mind is having a problem with a couple of the faces. The third
lady in the back row is seated in such a way that her face is not exposed
enough for me to make a guess. I knew all the ones I have named and considered
them as friends and just couldn't come up with "Babe's" last name. I
know that I will eventually think of it. Wish that I could see that third face
a little more fully. Oh, well-what else is new?</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Thank you for the wonderful article on
Coach Hite. I would like to add that he also tried to make ladies (notice the
tried) out of the cheerleaders. More than once he gave me some good advice. He
was quite a man and I will always value my times with him.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">What a successful picnic! The picnic
was held on August 25, 2018 at Vet’s Park. There were 109 present this year.
The largest crowd we have had in a couple of years. I believe everyone had a
great time. The ones from my class certainly did! The weather was perfect and
there was plenty to eat!! There is now a larger group of those attending from
the 1960’s and 70’s. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Why don’t you write an email to some
classmates and invite them to come to the picnic next year? The more the
merrier! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background: white; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Last year, I would
have had a winner with my prediction, until Will Grier got hurt. This year, I
am sorry to predict a 7 - 5 season. My reasoning is that if Grier and Sills do
not get hurt and play up to 100% of their capability, we should be a 9 - 3
team. But what are the chances there will not be any injuries among them? If
either one of them goes down, it really hurts the other. I think we will win
the first 6 games and then beat Baylor. I think we will lose to Iowa State at
Iowa State, Texas at Texas, TCU, Oklahoma State at OK State, and Oklahoma.
Also, from what I read, there are some serious questions concerning our
defense. So, I'll stick with a 7 - 5 prediction. Hopefully, I'm wrong and we go
9 - 3. This is my story and I'm sticking to it.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">This season prompts everything from
restraint to unabashed enthusiasm. The anything can happen has to be balanced
by the record of the past six-years of Big 12 football. by the Mountaineers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">My prediction is by the
"osmosis" method rather than analytical analysis, translated--what I
feel. Plus, a good dose of a glass half-full mindset based on following WVU
football since 1957. Prediction:8-4 season.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I am going to be conservative and
guess 7-5. I think we're going to be a very good football team, no doubt about
that. We will be fun to watch and score a ton of points. And Dana is maturing
as a head coach. However, the schedule is very difficult, and I worry about our
depth, especially on defense. If we get lucky and don't have injuries to key
players as we did last year, and if we get better officiating than we got last
year, then we might win 8 or 9 games. However, given how tough this schedule
is, I'm afraid we're going to be beaten up, physically and mentally, by
mid-season, and I'm not sure we have enough depth to have a really big year.
So, I predict 7 wins and, as always, will hope for more. One thing's for sure,
we'll know a lot about this team after the first three games.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

back sooner. I believe the Mountaineers will have to win all three of their
opening scheduled games in order for: 1. To be in the mix for a big-time bowl
game and: 2. For Will Grier to have any shot at the Heisman. Tennessee at
Charlotte, Youngstown State at Morgantown and N.C. State in Raleigh will be a
real test as to whether they are formidable, or just another average team. If
they win these three games, 10 and 2. If not, 7 and 5.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

increase their 3<sup>rd</sup> down conversions. Last year, it was around 32%.
The more times we snap the ball on offense, the more the defense can rest. In
my opinion, the tops 3 finishers---Oklahoma, WV, TCU. We get 2 of them at home</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">So, there you have it. As you can see, there is not
a lot of agreement from our readers on just how the Mountaineers will do.
Perhaps, that is the way it should be. Dana Holgorsen's teams have not been the
picture of consistency over the years, so, who knows?</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I've had the advantage of seeing all of the
predictions, but that has not made it any easier to figure how this team will
do. *However, based on my best unscientific guess, I'll go with a final record
of 8-4. I hate to be a pessimist, because my gut tells me this could be the
best team since 2007. However, the lack of experience in the secondary forces
me to think that they will lose to NC State, Texas and Oklahoma. The other loss
will be to either Iowa State or Oklahoma State. Like other readers, I fear that
injuries to key personnel could ruin the season. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Finally, I feel this could be Holgorsen's chance to
solidify his job. 9 or 10 wins would do it. An undefeated season and a spot in
the playoffs would earn him a long-term contract, if he didn't leave for
greener ($$$) pastures. Regardless, I can't wait to see how this team performs.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I can remember my favorite car like it
was yesterday. It was my first car, but I do not think that is the reason that
it was my favorite. It was a BRAND NEW 1965 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport,
white, with blue interior, a manual 3-speed transmission, and a 327 engine. I
went back home to WV from Virginia and ordered the car from the Chevrolet
dealer in Buckhannon, as the prices in this area were way too high for my
budget. The day that I received a phone call telling me that my car had
arrived, I also got a draft notice in the mail to report to the draft board in
Clarksburg for my physical to go into the service.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I arrived in Clarksburg; went for my
physical the next day; then my mother drove me to Buckhannon to pick up my new
car which was parked in the showroom with a big SOLD sign on it. I went in, signed all of the necessary
paperwork; paid for the car and returned to Virginia. I later received my
physical notice in the mail and I was declared Y, as I had had a kidney
operation back in 1959 or 60. This kidney issue kept me from playing basketball
and football my junior and senior years at WI, and it also kept me from going
into the service.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">I LOVED THAT 1965 Chevrolet Impala
Super Sport, even though I had only driven a standard transmission once prior
to my picking up the car. I drove that car out of the showroom at the
dealership in Buckhannon, and left tire marks on the floor as I "peeled out"
- not for showing off purposes, but because I was just not that well aware of
how to drive a standard transmission car and/or dealing with the clutch. I kept
that car for two years; went thru 3 clutches and 3 transmissions. I finally
traded it in for a 1966 Oldsmobile. I tried to buy back that Chevrolet, but
found out that the person that had bought it had driven it thru a barn at 110
miles per hour. I only kept the Oldsmobile for one year before my Aunt Kathryn
bought it from me. I then bought a 1967 Mustang.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">My first car was a 1950 Crosley (yes
that is me with the car). It was purchased in 1952 at a car lot in Stealey on
the corner of Milford Street and North Ave. The cost was $387.50. It was seen
around "WI" for 2 or 3 years until one night it caught on fire and it
burned so badly that it was no longer usable. The Crosley was a small car, but
got very good gas millage. It was light enough that someone could lift it by any
one wheel by himself. That is why it was found on the Horner Street sidewalk
behind the school. Celebrities that got to ride in the car were Mr. Frederick
(American History) and Ms. Robinson (Commercial Branches). It was a good car.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">A true
animal lover, Bobbie adopted, loved and cared for many stray animals. She
especially loved her namesake dog, Barbara Ann. Bobbie loved cooking, baking,
entertaining, and decorating for the holidays. She had the largest collection
of Santa Clauses south of the North Pole. A true fashionista, Bobbie inspired
everyone to wear a tiara as often as possible. She had a big personality and a
big house full of big fun. She welcomed friends into her family. Her greatest
joy was spending time with her grandchildren: Jack, Monica, Joey and Jacob.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I am writing in response to memories of Sally Anne
Pulice and Dr. Farrell. Dr. Farrell was also my and my brother’s pediatrician.
Before Dr. Farrell’s office was in Gore Building it was in a home on Main
Street. A grey stucco. I don’t remember the exact location. We moved to
Clarksburg in September of 1946 and one of the first things my parents did
after establishing a residence was find a doctor for my brother and me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As Sally Anne said, the Farrell’s had two sons. John
David, a graduate of St. Mary’s HS. He was 4 years ahead of me. He, like his
father, was a doctor. He passed away a couple of years ago. Marcus was a stock
broker in NYC. He was a friend and a year ahead of me at St. Mary’s and Notre
Dame HS.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My parents were about 5’ 5” or so and my brother and I
are over 6’. Dr. Farrell would often tell my dad that it was all the good care
he gave us growing up that contributed to our height. My father would counter
with it was all the good food he provided. The Farrell’s and my parents became
friends over the years. When Dr. Farrell passed away, his wife Mae, and my
mother continued the friendship until Mrs. Farrell passed away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Dr. Marcus Farrell and Dr. Andy Weaver took good care
of me until I left for USAF boot camp in 1963. Shots, stiches, x-rays, all the
above.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My mother took me to him when his office was on Main
Street, </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">across from DeSales Hall, the nursing school for St.
Mary's Hospital.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">His office was located just about where the parking
lot is for the </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Senior Citizens Center. I continued to see him when he
moved to the </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Gore Hotel Building, until after I graduated high
school.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I absolutely loved Dr. Farrell. I was so fortunate to
have had him as my pediatrician! I went to him until I went to college.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Dr. Farrell had been and looked up to my Grandfather
Dr. R.J, Nutter I think he did a residency under him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">He was the best doctor of all when I had infectious
mononucleosis he came by my home to Check on me several times a week. I was
home for close to a month I avoided a spinal tap because of this wonderful man,
I’m not sure of the year but sadly he suffered a heart attack while mowing his
grass or shoveling snow. I’m embarrassed to say at 72 I do forget some things
Although I still feel a tear thinking about it. We’re all lucky to have this
man for our pediatrician. There aren’t many doctors like that anymore.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Believe it or not, I was not a very well child. I
suffered nearly the entire school year, every year from chronic bronchitis.
This continued my entire life until we moved to spend the winters in Sarasota,
Florida. I still say that I am allergic to snow as I was sick if there was snow
on the ground. Anyway, the reason I have said this is to get to Dr. Farrell. I
think he was my pediatrician, too. Can you tell me, was he bald and did he wear
a white doctors coat all of the time? If so, he was my childhood doctor and
he was a very kind gentle man. </span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">In regard to the cannons placed around Clarksburg, I
remember one in the cemetery beyond Stanley Ave. My grandfather Floyd Sayre
lived at 606 Stanley Ave. My brother and I would go to the cemetery while
visiting my grandfather. I remember that cannon and was always curious why it
was placed in the cemetery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I can remember that there was a cannon on the Court
House Plaza on Main Street. Stonewall Jackson was to the left as you walked
into the courthouse and I think that the cannon was to the right. It may have
been at the base of Stonewall's statue, but I do seem to remember that there
was a cannon in the grassy area of the court house plaza. I can vaguely
remember the cannon that was brought to WI home games at Hite Field and being
fired after each WI touchdown. I never knew whose cannon it was.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My dad, William A. Lear, class of 1942, is the man
with the ramrod in his hand. As I said, he designed and painted the gun
carriage and BG Gaston “poured” the gun barrel on his foundry. I don’t know
what year BG graduated but I think he may have been 3-4 years younger than my
dad. My sister, Libby Lear Herron, class of ‘69, sent me a text showing dad and
BG with the cannon probably before a football game. I don’t know when this
picture was published in your newsletter. I also don’t have pictures of either
cannon but there are pictures in the ‘71 and ‘69 WIHS yearbook. Good hunting!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

to see you. We plan to be at the WI ANNUAL REUNION PICNIC on August 25, 2018 at
the Osborne Pavilion, starting around 11:30. You can read all about it in the
Reunion News page (tab at the top of this newsletter). If you want to attend, just bring
some money to put in the pot to help cover the expenses and a covered dish to
share. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Does anyone remember the time in 1957 or 1958 when we
painted the doors at WI green? This was after the song “The Green Door” that was
popular at the time. A lot of WI students surrounded Victory that night to
retaliate. Bunch of us got in trouble at the time and had to apologize to the
Victory student body. This was done before the annual football game at Hite Field.
The rivalry between the two high schools that spanned the years until closure
of each high school was special. Great rivalry and friendships.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Did y'all know he was an Engineering major at WVU and was
captain of the WVU Basketball team when he was a sophomore (unusual at the time
and still is). He was elected Captain of the WVU Football team but did not
serve so he could volunteer to go to WW1 as an officer (USA had a draft but
after he volunteered). He was on duty outside of Paris as a rifle instructor to
the fellows headed to THE FRONT! Some of them had never shot a gun! </span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">When WW1
was over he went back to WVU but didn't finish in Engineering because he had
decided to dedicate his life to "Making Men from Boys". He was on the
great 1919 WVU Football Team that beat Princeton University 25 - 0. Still
considered one of WVU's greatest victories. That year IRA Rodgers won WVU's 1st
All American honors and Clay B Hite was an Honorable Mention All American both
were on Walter Camp's List. Camp is considered The Father of American Football.
He met Virginia West (from the state of WV where her parents decided to make
their home) at an Ice Cream Social on campus (they both loved ice cream the
rest of their lives and that was the only thing he ever cooked and he cooked it
from scratch). He went to Fairmont State to get his teaching certificate and
applied to the Harrison County Board of Education for a teaching position and

to go to The Front the rest of his days.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"> <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Back in the '50s one of the Oliker twins was the WVU
Mountaineer and would come into the stands and fire The Musket next to his old
coach sitting on the aisle. My Father' was the happiest I think I ever saw him.
Then one of the Oliker twins either Dick or Dan went to the service and had
survival training. His 1st leave he went to see his old coach and told him he
was the only one in the group that gained weight " because he never
quit".</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">West Virginia University's football
teams have won 742 games in the history of the program. This, along with 493
losses, gives them a winning percentage of 0.597. The win total places them
14th on the all-time win list. However, what is interesting is the fact that
each of the 13 teams ahead of them in total wins has won a national
championship. Could this be the year the Mountaineers change that?</span><br />

HEISMAN TROPHY IN MORGANTOWN?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Much has been written already about
the possibility of Will Grier winning the Heisman Trophy for the best college
football player in the upcoming season. The school has created a marketing
campaign and Grier has already been chosen as the preseason offensive player of
the year in the Big 12 Conference. No player from WVU has ever won the Heisman
award.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">So, what do you think? Can a player
from West Virginia University win the Heisman? What would it take for this to
happen. Remember, the ballots are cast prior to the national championship game,
so your team doesn't need to "win it all" for you to be considered.
However, if your team is in the final four, it certainly wouldn't hurt your
chances.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">1. What kind of statistics does Will
Grier need to put up to be considered?</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">2. How many games does WVU need to
win for Grier to win it?</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">3. Based on your answers to the above
questions, will WVU quarterback, Will Grier, win the Heisman Trophy in 2018?</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I enjoyed the first two stories in
the July issue. Victory HS was WI's biggest rival and if we won that game in
football, we had a good year. We set a scoring record in the 1960 game, with
Mr. Outside (Bobby Secret) and Mr. Inside (Gene Donaldson) in beating them. But,
1961, my Senior year, was the complete reverse. They beat us pretty good. The
starting team in 1960 had graduated and we (1961) didn’t have the "horses". RW
always had good teams, but I think they were AA and they won the State
Championship with Sonny Sirianni, who went on to play at Marshall. Barry
Brinkley was their quarterback, I believe, and he was a good one. Most of the
ball players (football, baseball, basketball) in Clarksburg area all knew each
other from either playing with or against each other in Summer baseball or
pick-up basketball and football games. It was fun to compete with them on our
high school teams. I know these people have probably been mentioned many times
in your newsletter, but during the late 1950’s and early 1960’s Victory had Bob
Schneider, a great basketball player, and of course all of the Knight brothers.
I believe Turtle Knight was an All-American High School football player along
with Bobby Secret and Gene Donaldson. We didn’t have AstroTurf fields and
tracks were cinders. The high jump track was grass or dirt and we landed in a
sawdust pit; with the same in the pole vault and broad jump. Clarksburg was a
wonderful place to grow-up. We were a town of maybe 32,000 in the 50’s and
60’s, but we all knew of or directly knew each other.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Thank you for the excellent letter
about sports in Clarksburg in the 50's and 60's. I love letters like this and
encourage others to follow your example. You are correct in saying that beating
your biggest rival meant the difference between a successful or bad season. The
three football players you mention, Secret, Donaldson and Sirianni, are legends
in Harrison County and were all well known throughout the state and area. Also,
I know the advantages of consolidation, but I miss the old days, when
Clarksburg had several high schools and small towns like Lost Creek, West
Milford and Salem had their own high schools. As I've mentioned before, when
the high school closes, a big piece of the town dies.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I wonder how we survived without the
fancy facilities? Most young people today don't know what "cinders"
are. I had to play basketball in high school in an oversized swimming pool.
Today's athletes seem to have the best of everything and I guess that is OK. We
want the best for our sons and daughters.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Many questions remain unanswered
about our Mountaineers. Will the offense live up to the hype and be among the
best in the country? If so, will the defense be able to slow down the
high-powered offenses of the Big 12 enough to enable the team to compete in every
game? Is the schedule too difficult? Can this team really start the season with
three wins over Tennessee, Youngstown State and N.C. State? Will this be the
year that we win our first Big 12 Conference championship? Am I dreaming or can
the Mountaineers actually make the college football playoffs?</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

If you can answer most of them correctly, then you will join the list of
winners in our "Fearless Forecast" contest. This is the fourth year
we've asked you to give us your best guess on what the final regular season
record will be for the West Virginia Mountaineers football team. The defending
champion is Bernie Cohen. He always seems to be at or near the top in our
contest and I'm sure this year will be more of the same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

before you forget or, if you're like me, you get your mind on something else
that seems more important at the time. The winner will receive a nice gift with
a WVU theme. Please include a short paragraph as to why you think your guess is
correct.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Growing up in Broad Oaks and attending the Broad Oaks
Methodist Church, I managed to cross paths with the local Women's Christian
Temperance Union (WCTU) chapter, whose leaders enlisted Bobby Neal, Denny
Norman and myself (and maybe 1-2 others whose names escape me) for membership
in the Loyal Temperance Legion (LTL), a subsidiary for grade schoolers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">BTW, two infamous alumnae of the WCTU were Carrie
Nation and Lizzie Borden, both otherwise renowned for their heavy-duty cutlery
skills.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">As loyal LTLers we were persuaded to attend Temperance
Camp (twice) for a week at Camp Caesar in Webster County, a pleasant week for
us all. While there we learned of the evils of demon rum and of smoking or
chewing tobacco. I recall watching a cigarette smoked by chemistry set
apparatus with about a cc of nicotine tar collected in a test tube, a vivid
deterrent to tobacco use, at least for the moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I drove past Camp Caesar a few years ago and found the
campgrounds, particularly the swimming pool, much smaller than I'd remembered
it as a 10-11-year-old.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">While in LTL, and at the Camp, we earned the

neighbors, apartments next to each other. She was 101 or 102 at that time. She

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I believe she is Miss Israel, my
eighth (maybe seventh) grade English</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"> <span style="background: white;">teacher at Central Junior High School. I have very
favorable memories</span> <span style="background: white;">of her as a teacher.
Even though I was not a good student, she was a</span> <span style="background: white;">good teacher.</span></span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">If so,
she lived on East Pike Street. I don't believe she was married. I have memories
that she lived with her mother. Not sure if that is true or not. The house
appears to still be standing (from BING aerial photography). It is located at
410 E. Pike between A. Lea Hess Upholstery and an open parking lot that used to
be the site of a four or five story brick building that housed Sears warehouse,
Otis Elevators, then Southern States storage before being raised. It was also
directly across the street from what was the Sportsman's Inn from the late 60's
to 70's.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lady in the July Mystery picture is Ms. Sarah Israel, a 7th grade English

individual who thoroughly enjoyed her career as a teacher.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The mystery woman is Ms. Israel who taught at Central
Junior High School and perhaps other schools. She and my dad Richard Coplin
Corder, the seventh-grade shop teacher, were great friends. Dad worked many
hours at her home doing all kinds of odd jobs. They were buddies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">On May
26, 2018, Roleta and I attended the Monongah High School Alumni Association’s
95th annual banquet in Fairmont, WV. What is unique about this event is the
fact that it has taken place every year since 1923, with the exception of one
year during World War II. It is the longest running annual high school alumni
event in the state of West Virginia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Even
though the high school was closed in 1979, due to consolidation, the alumni
continue to gather each May to honor the 40, 50 and 60-year graduates.
Obviously, attendance is lower now than in previous years, but 150-225 people
still gather to see their old friends and classmates. Distance does not seem to
prevent the regulars from attending. Each year there are usually several from
states like California, New York, Florida and other faraway places who show up.
The alumni officers hope to “keep it going” five more years until they reach
the magic 100th.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is a picture of Roleta and me at this year’s event. The gentlemen on the right
is Lloyd Schell, who lives in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and is one of my classmates.
Lloyd is 79 years young and still hits the slopes of Canaan Valley, WV and
Colorado to snow ski every winter. I reminded Lloyd that I did not snow ski,
since I always felt that I was mediocre at enough sports already.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

to share this photo of Russell and me assembling to march with the Central

through the mile-long route, I thought, "74 and still kickin'." Hope
all my 1961 classmates are the same. Thanks for all you do for all of us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Even though he was in the <i>New York Post’s </i>Cindy Adam
column this spring, James Fragale is keeping a low profile. Jim’s finalizing
his fourth amazon.com novel but not talking much. “It’s too tentative,” he
says. The <i>Post </i>article mentioned <i>The Company Store </i>would be out
in December and pays homage to West Virginia coal miners who perished in the
last two centuries, concentrating on the 1907 Monongah explosion, the worst
industrial disaster, ever. That’s all true.” Jim added, “As usual, Cindy Adams
scooped everyone, but it’s too darn early. One, the title is not set. Two, the
slated December release is more likely February 2019.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Mrs. Adams did get the gist of Fragale’s fourth novel. <i>The
Company Store </i>includes the worst industrial disaster in American history,
the December 6, 1907, Monongah explosion of Fairmont Coal Company’s No. 6 and
No. 8-close to Clarksburg, where <i>both</i> of Fragale’s grandfathers worked.

carnivals in Norwood. He never kissed me in a caterpillar, but I kissed Kay
Lawson in one When I saw Kay at a FL picnic 15 or so years ago, I asked her if
that kiss under the caterpillar tent was memorable. Her response: What kiss?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

angelic student by then. Glyde Bailey was such a class act that all of us were
on good behavior in her class. Mike does wonderful things with words, as all
newsletter readers know. I have often wondered whether Miss Bailey was at least
partially responsible for that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Roleta, thank
you for including my note to you in this recent newsletter, I have ALREADY
heard from an "old" WI friend. It was such a nice surprise. I enjoyed
the entire letter and praise you and your helpers for doing such a nice job,
very professional. I will try to come up with a story or a picture to contribute.
Toby Singleton was in a picture this time, she was my former sister-in-law.
Thanks Again, Anne<o:p></o:p></span></div>

sure John Allen. The girl center facing right looks like a lot like Toby
Singleton. And of course, Mary Elizabeth at right.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I was a member of Hi-Y in my WI days. While I'm sure
there were criteria for selecting members, it's my guess that if the older guys
thought you were acceptable then they voted you in. I don't recall doing any
significant activities as a member, perhaps other guys do. I feel that if we
had had another sponsor rather than Mr. Gudekunst, a man who could have better
related to and inspired young men, then I feel the organization could have had
a much stronger influence on the school and the community. That's my opinion;
perhaps some of the officers might have seen it differently. As I said in a
previous article, I would have gladly followed the leadership of Coach Folio,
Mr. Duckworth or Clay B. Hite.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

because my brother (Bob) had been in Hi-Y the year before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I read in my senior yearbook just now that the purpose
of Hi-Y was to direct traffic and sell programs at home football games; they
attended church once a month as a group; sold candy to finance club projects;
and formed a basketball team. The only thing that I can definitely remember
from this list of what Hi-Y did was playing basketball, and the only game that
I remember was playing the JV team from WI and at Carmichael. I have a vague
memory that we sold candy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

where the camp was. I do however remember a girl that I met at the camp whose
name was HELEN. She and a couple of her girlfriends were there from Huntington
High School. I remember that Helen and I had a very romantic camp experience
during the week that we were there. I can also remember that she was beautiful.
Richard Malcolm, me and some other classmate were invited to come to Huntington
by the "girls". My parents would not let me go, but I think that
Richard and the other classmate actually did go to Huntington to
"visit" with their "girls". Richard and I have had many
discussions at our Friday dinners at Twin Oaks in Augusts, and at our past
reunions as to who the third member of our Huntington girls group was, but
neither one of us can come up with a factual name. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I believe we held our WI football dinner/dances there as well as our proms. I
don't know if the alley beside the building had a name but many times I would

people over the years who say, I look over the newsletter but I don’t see
anyone from my class mentioned! I have heard this from people from the 40’s,
lots surprisingly from the 50’s and the 60’s and even a few from the 70’s!!! Well,
remember, I don’t write the articles! It is up to you and your classmates to
write to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Really enjoyed the June newsletter. I found the sections on WI students by
years and the WWII vets exciting. With students, I found names of guys and
girls I knew around 1956-58 from dances at Moose Lodge (believe the dance was
on Thursday night), hanging out in the old Stonewall Billiards, Hagan’s, Ellis
Drive-In (curb service), Hammond-Harper restaurant and just hanging out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">For WWII vets, that was a trip down memory lane. Counted 5 Clarksburg
cops, number of Harrison County politicians and a number of business owners or
executives. Believe I recognized one name, who was killed in action, as I
remember my mother had mentioned. My mother graduated from Victory in 1934 and
had many WI friends. After her death years ago, I found a WI yearbook from that
era with friend’s names.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Last night I was going through the Newsletter again looking over names.
Lots of memories with a number of guys that I ran around with, and a couple of
girls I had dates with.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">We enjoy reading memories from RW and VICTORY
alumni. All of our memories are basically the same. The years changed but the
activities, the school, the teachers and the town certainly didn’t change much
during our lifetimes. One who graduated in 1940 could share a memory and a
graduate from another school from 10 to 20 years later could share a memory and
you basically wouldn’t see much difference. That is what makes this newsletter
unique and popular throughout the county and even over the border. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I can remember going to the carnival in Bridgeport behind the firehouse
and the carnival at Norwood Park. I remember one time going to the one in
Bridgeport directly from one of my Little League baseball games; riding the Ferris
wheel; and having my baseball cap fly off into the night. I do not remember if
we ever found that hat, but we must have as I do not remember getting a second
one and/or playing in a baseball game without a hat. I remember my dad was big
on us playing the "flip this coin" games, and I still have some of
the drinking glasses that we were able to get the coin to stay in. I also
remember winning some of the stuffed animals and prizes that were given out for
"popping the balloon" or "knocking over some figure". Those
were the days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I remember taking my son to the carnival in Reston, Va. when he was young
and somehow the carnival seemed to have lost the "magic touch", as it
was not as much fun as it was back in W.Va. It might have something to do with
my being older and having NO INTEREST IN RIDING RIDES. We did get on the
tilt-a-wheel ride, and the only thing that kept me from having a heart attack
was my son quit breathing. He was fine after a short visit to the emergency
room at the hospital, but if it had not have been for his having a reaction to
the ride, I probably would have had a heart attack. I have taken my grandson to
a few carnivals here in the Alexandria, Va. area and the time spent at the
carnival was much shorter than when I was going in W.Va. as with the cost of
things, it just got out of hand financially.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I loved the Carnivals that used to come in the summer-time to Norwood
Park.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Seems like there were 2 or 3 a year. I lived next door to Chief Sheriff’s
Deputy Criss and my Uncle was the Desk Sgt. on the Police Force. They always
had free tickets that they shared with the kids. The tickets were in long
strips or booklets of 10 or 20 which I remember using on School Patrol Day.
Rides were ½ price that Saturday. I believe the rides were regularly 10 cents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My father used to take me in the evening after work before I was old
enough<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">to go alone. He won a red portable Crosley Radio one time playing one of the
games. I had the radio for years and used to run an extension cord out to our
glider on the porch to listen to Baseball broadcasts with Dizzy Dean in the
summer afternoons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">My favorite pal to go to the Carnivals with was Steve Limbers. Seems like
his father would drop us off at the gate. As I grew older, the Broad Oaks guys would
walk out Haymond Hwy. and hitch-hike or walk thru Arbutus Park to check out all
the beauties on the way. I’m not sure which ride was my favorite.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Maybe the Bumper Cars. I do remember the Loop-D-Loop which ALWAYS emptied
your pockets of everything. Not sure about a Tunnel of Love existing then but I
do remember a few kisses under the cover on the Caterpillar. The Ferris Wheel
was my scariest ride ever. I never trusted the flimsy wooden bar in front of
the seat. I have always loved amusement parks. Spent a great deal of time at
various Six Flags as an adult always riding in the front car of the Coasters.
Of course, then, we could never have dreamed of the Roller Coasters and
Amusement Rides of the last 40 years. One other memory—seemed like it ALWAYS
rained and we were tromping around in mud covered with straw.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I remember the Norwood Park
Carnival. What I recall most was how we got there. We lived in
"Lower" Broad Oaks at the time. Dad would walk us up Haymond Hwy to
Buckhannon Pike. We crossed Buckhannon Pike and walked a small path down to
Arbutus Park. From Arbutus Park we walked through Nixon Plaza, Nutter Fort, to
the Park in Norwood. Once we got there we walked through the carnival and rode
the rides. When I got a little older I would stop where the carnival dishes
were. I would pitch dimes and win dishes. I was really good at pitching dimes.
I knew just where to place the dimes on the plates. I won several plates every
time we went. Mom liked the plates. She made me feel like I was really helping
support the family. I think we always stayed till closing. Then we reversed the
route back home.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Thinking about the route we
took to reach the carnival had me wondering, where are the boundaries of these
small areas. Maybe someone could tell us where the boundaries are of the
following:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Heflin Heights, Arbutus Park,
Nixon Plaza, Nutter Fort, Norwood, and Stonewood. I think all those are within approximately
a mile.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Another note: It seemed kids in
Arbutus Park went to Alta Vista, Central Jr High, and WI while they were in
walking distances to RW. Can anyone explain that?? I am happy that they did go
to those schools because I have some great friends from Arbutus Park.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

some had 3 and 4 party lines. I know we were on the 2 -party line with the
Paul's who lived just up the street from us. I remember mom picking up the
phone and asking Ruthie Paul how long she would be on the line and Ruthie would
do same to us. It seemed to work out okay. I don't remember anyone arguing
about the amount of time the other person was on the line. That was just a way
of life back then and we accepted it. I remember our phone # was 231-J and my
best friend, Jack Borror's # was 5150-W. I'll never forget those numbers.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Mary Stump Harrel wrote
about my mother Sandy Jeranko, who loved the idiomatic expressions of the
people at Cape Hatteras, N.C. She taught English on the Outer Banks for many
years, publishing with her students, a magazine called the Sea Chest. Students
would interview members of the community about skills such as net making, fish
drying, boat repairs, and publish the magazine 3-4 times a year. She won
national awards for them, and I promise to dig them out and share some of the
lore at a later time. Right now, I am on the Big Island, and our air quality is
not good today, nor is it expected to be tomorrow. We are under a vog cloud
from the eruption of Halemaumau volcano. I’m not in danger, it’s more like
being near a freeway, but I am used to my wonderful clean air. It was great to
hear from Mary, and from my aunt Arreta, very special women to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Was so
sorry to read of Marianna's death. My memories of Marianna go back prior to
Stealey. In fact. I was able to catch with her through the WI Newsletter. We
e-mailed for several weeks. She brought me up to date on her life, and also
Ted. Tim was to be the next chapter. This never arrived, and now I know why.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">They lived on Harrison Street in Broad Oaks, and our back yards joined,
when Marianna and Teddy were "little people". My mother used to
baby-sit them a lot. They called her Pop-Pop which Marianna remembered. Their
Mother was Eleanor Cummings, a family friend long before she became a Waroblak.
I used to visit them after they moved to Stealey Ave. (323), I think. Do not
know how old they were when they moved. Awesome to be able to catch up with old
friends through the Newsletter. You do a great job, just wish more people who
were at WI when I was there would write in information. Thanks for all you do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Thank you, Ray for the
nice letter. This gives me an opportunity to introduce those who help make this

month and make the content so interesting, I could never write all these
memories.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I attended a Summer Camp
in 1956. This was a co-ed church camp run by the Potomac District Council of
the Assemblies of God. The camp at Falling Waters, WV. I don't remember
everything that happened at the camp, but I do remember being introduced by
Mickey Drummond (WI 1960) and Joanne Drummond (WI 1958) to a girl from
Smithfield, VA. Her name was Anne Jones. This being a strictly disciplined
camp, we crossed our arms to hide the holding of our hands during gatherings.
However, before we left camp, we had our picture taken together, which is shown
below. Yes, we were caught doing such a thing and Anne was told to throw the
film away. With strong resistance on her part, she kept the film. This summer
camp story continues by Anne and I being married 58+ years. Can summer camps
have a good ending? Mine did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The first one is taken in
front of our daily communication chalk board in the second-floor hallway of WI.
From the names of the junior stationary salesmen, the date was October 13, 1953.
I am the girl holding her books on the right side of the photo. The boy in the
center reading the sign might be John Allen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the buses to go to a football away game. The teacher at the left is Rene Andre.
The only others I recognize are Eleanor Queen third from the left waiting in
line and the cheerleader at the door who is most likely Toby Singleton. The
year is probably 1953.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The third one is not of
WI but the Harrison County Girl Scout staff as well as the camp permanent staff
at Camp Horseshoe the summer of 1953. Many of the newsletter readers will have
fond memories of Camp Horseshoe. Attending Girl scout camp there for a week was
the highlight of my summers for many years as a camper and counselor in
training (CIT). I will attempt to identify as many as I can and perhaps your
readers can fill in the rest. The first person sitting in the front row is
Niche Bisping (WI 1952). In the second row are Loretta Lawson, ? from
Shinnston, Patty Wehner, Sue Selby (WI 1955), Bea Fittro </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">(Scout camp director), Mrs. Bisping,
Mrs."Wiggle"s Weekly, Mrs. Ferbee (head of the Harrison County Scout
program). Third row, fourth person in is Joan Johnson (WI 1955), Sally Ore (WI
'55), ? , ? , ?, Frances Custer (my mother). Fourth from the right is Babe
Bisping (WI 1956), Gerry Ramp (Bridgeport H.S.,1954).</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Many of your readers will
remember going out on dates to dance and have fun at our Clarksburg "night
clubs" in the fifties. These happy couples were enjoying a New Year’s Eve party
in 1954 or 1955. I think the gentleman at the left is Dave Saucer. His date is
Sandy Conaway (WI 54). Next to her, is Lynn Custer, my cousin (WI 1954). I
don't recognize who she was with that night but I am pretty sure I was there
too.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">The June Mystery People
in the current newsletter are friends from the WI Class of 1952. Carolyn Tustin
is on the left, Bernie King on the right, and I am in the middle. I well
remember the picture being taken. We wanted to put our arms around each other
only Bernie couldn't reach me. So, I had sort of squatted down so we could
reach each other but I couldn't hold the pose for long. At any rate, we were
having a fun time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I seem to recall that
Eddie Westfall was taking the picture. He had been walking by and we recruited
him. Unfortunately, I can't verify this as Carolyn and Bernie are both
deceased. I did run into Carolyn when she was visiting her mother in Clarksburg
I think about 20 years ago and we had a wonderful visit. I kept up better with
Bernie over the years and have planned to be at her memorial service which is
next week. Of the three, I am still very much among the living. It was a fun
thing to run into this picture in the Newsletter. Boy, it does bring back the
memories!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I usually block out time
to go through the Newsletter when it comes and I have only started this one. I
want to go back and devour the History etc. I can't believe what a major
accomplishment we have in this project. The entire project has got to be a
labor of love of all involved. Just saying "thank you" seems inadequate
but do accept my appreciation for this fantastic link to our roots.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">On Wednesday, June 13,
2018, our daughter, Vaneta, invited Bill and I to attend a dinner meeting of
the Franklin County Ohio State Alumni Association. The guest speaker at the
June dinner meeting was Jerry Lucas, former OSU basketball player who also had
a very successful professional basketball career. </span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">At the meeting they presented
the scholarship from this Alumni Association chapter to a student. There were
70 applications for the scholarship which was $5000.00.
Everyone was so happy about the scholarship that was being given.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I sat there listening and
beaming over the fact that here was an organization of thousands of alumni who
had come up with $5000.00 for a scholarship for one young lady. And the few readers
of my WI NEWSLETTER who supported the WASHINGTON IRVING NEWSLETTER SCHOLARSHIP
also gave a $5000.00 scholarship this year. </span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I wanted to stand up and shout, “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">WE DID THAT TOO!</b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">”</span></span></div>

greeting I received from Ms. Williams when I strolled into her classroom the
first day of school a long way’s back. So, I was bounced into Miss Nutter's
English class where I sat with my tail between my legs and kept my mouth shut
until one day when I ventured a sincere inquiry about religion. “Communist!” she
shouted at me. Always a paragon of righteous indignation, she had no tolerance
for any such questions. Decades later, I would answer my own students when they
asked of such: “That's a good question,” and would give them an answer to the
best of my ability. I'm writing this in response to a question in the last
Newsletter about detention at Washington Irving back in our heyday. There was
none—but there were consequences for bad behavior. One bright spring day when
the sap was stirring through the greening trees and the captive student body,
Mr. Andre left his classroom for a brief spell. Since the windows were open, on
the spur of the moment, I picked up an ink bottle and threw it out the window.
Seemingly harmless, it landed on the lawn, I guess, but somehow, he found out
and I landed out of his class, permanently<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for Social Studies, and Clay B.--whom I always addressed as Coach or Sir--and I
got along famously—truly like Forrest's peas and carrots. A classic case of
positive reward for negative behavior, and I've never forgotten that legendary
man's patience and kindness that he showed to a kid like me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I sat in the back row of my Algebra II class and spent most of my junior
year lost and suffering silently. Our teacher was the kind who taught to the
naturals, to whom math came easy. Those of us in the back row got lost and
stayed there. When the last day of school finally arrived, at long last, I
answered freedom's call. “Looks like chicken scratching to me,” I told our
tight-laced teacher and wadded up my final exam and threw it in the waste
basket. As a result, half of the following summer I spent commuting to Fairmont
West where I successfully passed the class. That trying W.I. math class gave me
the resolve to reach the kids in the back row when I became a teacher years
later, and I did. At the opposite end of the spectrum was Mr. Duckworth's
biology class. It was so open to discussion and had such a stimulating
atmosphere that I thrived in there. “Mike, you seem to know a little bit about
everything,” Duck once told me. Wow! I received the only A that I ever remember
earning at W.I. in his class. And later in life, I operated my own class room
in a similar manner. With a strong dose of Coach Folio (my other favorite
mentor), my dad's, and the USMCs rules of discipline, my classes were smooth
sailing most of the time. I can honestly say that I loved my many years of
teaching and confess that my students taught me just as much as I taught them.
And to answer the reader's question: in today's schools in-school detention is
very much a necessity and it works. As for me, I'll take the Pony Express and
Clay B., any day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Hi, you probably know my sister, Barbara Younkin Park.
I am her younger sister, Elaine. We moved from Clarksburg August 1959 when I
was 9 years old.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I am compiling a family history and came across these
pictures of a parade in Clarksburg. I am not sure of the year, but I remember
being there. Barbara said something about “mystery pictures” that you post in
your school newsletter. I was wondering if you could do this so that I could
find out the year and the purpose of the parade. There is also one picture of a
football field, but not sure of that one either.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Also, Barbara and I took ballet lessons at Mary
Bergen’s Dance Studio, which was above a shoe store. Does anyone have pictures
of that? Jean Rae Miley was a childhood friend of mine who also took lessons
there. She would have graduated in 1964 from WI. I don’t know anything more
about her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

about an hour west of Vegas and 45 min from Death Valley and have lived on the

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I am so flattered that
you put my picture in the June newsletter as the mystery picture. The picture </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">was
taken of me with my daughter last Halloween (2017) in Mission Viejo, Ca. We
were taking my grandsons trick or treating. So much fun!</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I am definitely excited
to see if anyone recognizes me. I bet not many people will know me. I was very
shy in school and stayed pretty quiet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

using my picture! The newsletter is always so great to read. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.5pt;">A good
friend just forwarded to me the February copy of the newsletter. I have not
ever read one and really did enjoy it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14.5pt;">My name
is Anne Parsons Talkington (WI 1966.) My husband James Talkington, who passed
away in 2009, was also a WI grad and so were all of his siblings: Ronnie,
Elaine, and Barry. I would like to be on the email list for further
publications.</span></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: 14.5pt;">I only lived in Clarksburg for 4 years (my father the
administrator of the VA Hospital), all my memories are fond ones! I currently
reside in Raleigh, North Carolina. I recently attended a high school basketball
game here in town and the woman sitting behind me on the bleachers was from
Clarksburg. Her name is Barbara "Bobbie" Johnston Swisher,</span><span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"> (WI <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">1959). We had a wonderful time talking, missed the entire
basketball game! I will look forward to the next letter.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Why is Bridgeport High School so good in all sports? Tough question! I
have lived in Bridgeport for over 43 years, but, graduated from
Roosevelt-Wilson High School in Nutter Fort; so, I am not a "homer",
so to speak. Here are a few possibilities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Bridgeport High represents one town, Bridgeport. There is a certain pride
that comes from being the only school in town. Most schools have students
coming from many different sections of their county.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Perhaps it started with the winning done by the football team with coach
Wayne Jamison (an R-W grad, I might add). Wayne was a tough coach and expected
the best out of every player. Winning is expected at Bridgeport, starting with
the football team. I know it may be a little over- used, but, the team comes
first at Bridgeport.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Bridgeport High School is also the top AA school academically in the state
and the number two school overall, second only to Morgantown High School. Once
again, pride in your hometown school comes into play.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">If you go to Bridgeport High you are expected to do your best and that
usually pays off with a win.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Just a side note to my friends from Bridgeport: when I was a Senior
playing basketball at Roosevelt-Wilson, we beat Bridgeport three times in one
season. I have the box scores to prove it. We won't talk about our games with
WI and Victory, although we did beat them a few times in the 50s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">Thanks for giving me your thoughts on the excellence of the Bridgeport HS
program. As you mentioned in an email sent two days after the original, the
Indians did it again, winning the state Class AA baseball championship in
Charleston for the fifth year in a row. What an accomplishment!! Regardless of
the reason, it would be wise for other schools to take note of the success
Bridgeport has had an attempt to duplicate it. Fairmont Senior has fielded
competitive teams recently, but they still have a long way to go to catch
Bridgeport. Congratulations to the school and community for their amazing run.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">I am writing to share my
memories of my pediatrician, Dr. Marcus E. Farrell, whose office was located in
the Gore Building on Pike Street. I can recall that my parents were always with
me for any visit, and that we parked the car as near as possible to the main
entrance to the Gore Building, because if we were visiting Dr. Farrell, I or my
younger brother, Billy, was likely sick. (We received our childhood immunizations
at a public health center somewhere in Clarksburg because they were free
there.) We rode in an elevator up to Dr. Farrell's office, and when we exited
left from the elevator, there was an immediate antiseptic smell that entered
our space. I recall that we walked down a narrow, slightly sloping, carpeted
hallway. We met first with his nurse/receptionist, and then preceded to sit in
the waiting room on metal chairs (I think.) My younger brother would often
start to cry the minute we exited the elevator, but even if I was a bit nervous
about what was to come, I don't recall crying. Probably, I realized that my
parents were already dealing with one crying child. I recall that Dr. Farrell
was kind and calm, and he wore a white lab coat over dress pants and a shirt
and tie. One time when I had the mumps I missed two weeks of school, and Dr.
Farrell came to my home with his black bag to check on me. The best part of
knowing him was that on Halloween, we could visit his home in Broad Oaks/Goff
Plaza, on Spring Street, and he gave each of us a dime! That was even better
than candy, as we already had plenty of that! I also recall the mass
immunizations for polio that were free for all children at various locations in
the state of WV sometime during the 1960’s. Because we were in Shinnston so
often, I had my series of three oral polio immunizations at the Shinnston
Elementary School with my many cousins. A google search of Dr. Marcus E. Farrell
led me to a 9/18/16 obituary for his son, Dr. John David Farrell, age 79, a
pediatrician who had his practice in Herndon, VA. John David attended a private
high school in Wisconsin, so he was not a WI graduate. I am wondering if my
"older" Broad Oaks friends recall knowing Dr. Farrell's sons, John

Stump Harrell (WI 1955)</span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think the mystery picture is surely Holy Rosary
Catholic church on East Pike Street. To the left in the picture is the school
connected with the Church. My mother took me to Mass there one time when I was
about eight or ten years old and I was fascinated by the beautiful blue
interior. But most fascinating to me then was that the Scriptures and sermon
were said in Polish! This was in the days when the Mass was celebrated in Latin
with only the Scripture readings and sermon in the vernacular. I had never
heard Polish spoken before and instead of being bored by my lack of
comprehension, I remember straining to distinguish words - anything! - that I
could understand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We regularly attended Immaculate Conception Church
where the vernacular parts were done in English. Also, we occasionally attended
St. John's, the Italian church on Water Street --but I do not remember that the
readings were given in Italian. St. John's was a memorable experience for me
because of the warmth and friendliness of the people there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">One year, I think I was in high school, we saw a
performance of Othello by the Catholic University Theater group. The stage was
such that when an actor exited stage left and next had to come back on stage
right, he had to climb out a window, run around to the other side of the
building, and climb in a window on that side.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In those days there were five Roman Catholic churches
in Clarksburg--we knew them as the Irish, the Italian, the Polish, the Slavic,
and the church in North View, which so far as I know, had no ethnic identity. I
remember during the Kennedy campaign for president, reading an article in Time
magazine about West Virginia. Religious issues were very much in the forefront
of things because of Kennedy's nominal Catholicism. The magazine stated that WV
was 3% Roman Catholic and I was astonished at such a low percentage because my
experience in Clarksburg included such a large number of Catholic churches and
Catholic friends.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think the May photo is the Eastern or Greek Church,
on East Pike Street in Clarksburg. Always thought it was beautiful. I clearly
remember attending Dr. Jim Genin’s wedding to his wife Stephanie there. Jim was
a member of the W.I. Class of 1964. Hope he sees this! This wedding service was
definitely an orthodox service, with the appearances of Greek or Russian
Orthodoxy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I have a small world story about a friend of mine who
did all the planning for my 70th birthday. She had told me that she had spent
some time with her aunt at Lake Floyd in the summers when she was growing up.
So, her aunt was visiting her and I had her ask her aunt if she had every
stopped by the Dairy Queen in the west end of Clarksburg and she said they had.
She asked my friend my name. She found out that I went to college with her aunt
at Salem college. Her maiden name was Janet Van Horn and later went on to
become a professor at the college and retired from there. Her married name is
Janet Thorngate and we both were surprised that we had known each other for 10
years and just found out that her aunt knew me. When she went home to Salem and
found an old Salem College year book of her Junior year and sent my friend a
picture of me in the yearbook. So that 6 degrees of separation is really true.
I have had this happen a lot of times in travel because I do business all over
the United States and many foreign countries. I will be talking to strangers
and come to find out I know someone that they know.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">It was an all-night bus ride, but
most of us slept. We drove into the city just as the sun was rising. It was a
very exciting 3 full days of sightseeing. The trip included the Empire State
Building, a show with the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall, the boat ride out
to the Statue of Liberty and the last hoorah was a dinner at the Jack Silverman
Night Club with a floor show of scantily clad dancers which I am sure the guys
couldn’t keep their eyes from starring holes through. We got to dress up
semi-formal and have a night out on the town. Mrs. Dodd gave us the treat of
our young lives that Easter weekend. It is a shame she is no longer around to
continue this tradition. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Today was a BIG DAY for our Hilton Head WVU Alumni
Chapter. Coach Bob Huggins came to a Meet and Greet this afternoon. He visited
with everyone and gave a rousing talk. We SURPRISE him with 2 old friends who
did the intro honors for us. Bobby Cremins, former BB Coach at Georgia Tech and
Les Robinson, from St. Albans originally, and former BB Coach at NC State.
Bobby lives locally and Les on Sullivan’s Island near Charleston, SC. They all
have been friends for years. Big news of the day was that Konate is returning
to WVU. The news broke about an hour prior to Bob arriving.<u1:p></u1:p></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

tried to get you to think, to remember, to respond with some that you heard
growing up in West Virginia. I know we all heard these expressions. I got very
little response, so I figured you were not interested in remembering,
recognizing or responding to my plea. I wasn’t making fun of the “old Speech
Habits” of people in our area. I had read years ago that the style of speech to
which I referred was derived from England and Scotland and brought to our
country by our forefathers,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">On another topic---earlier you spoke about words and
expressions unique to our mountain state. Two stories came to mind--one was
from Mrs. Greer (a born and raised Clarksburg native and graduate of WI in the
early twenties) who taught high school English in Towson, Md for a few years
and then taught in Romney WV for few years. She said that she found it easier
to teach Shakespeare to the students in Romney because their language was still
rooted in the old English of the early settlers and they understood the idioms
used by Shakespeare because those idioms were still part of their everyday
speech. Whereas in Towson, a suburb of Baltimore, the old ways of speaking had
disappeared in the urban culture and the idioms had to be explained to those
students.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">The other story comes from Sandy Jeranko--Mary Beth's mother,
about her experiences with the natives of the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
She said that the "native" people there still spoke the remnants of
Cockney English because they were descended from the sailors who survived
shipwrecks in the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" and made new, but very
isolated, lives for themselves on the Outer Banks. Maybe if Mary Beth reads
this she will share some of her mother's examples. It is a shame that since
WWII we have slowly lost these unique manners of speed and have through
mobility and above all movies and TV begun to speak a fairly standard
English-losing many of the quirks of the earlier times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I presently live in the mountains of Western North
Carolina and we still hear some unique ancient expressions from mountain folk
who until fairly recently were still very isolated in the hills and
"hollers" of this region.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">One thing: Have you heard and used the expression that you
will do something "if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't
rise"? Did you, as did I for many years, envision a creek whose waters
might flood to prevent you from keeping your commitment? I learned only
recently that the creek is the Creek and refers to the Creek Indians! If we
live long enough we actually learn a few things...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

visited the area of the Outer Banks and have noticed that many of the natives
in that area speak with an English Accent and often use “Old English” terms.

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Even though the main stream media did
not cover it well, many of you may have still noticed that in early April,
President Trump hosted the National Champion University of Alabama football
team at the White House.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">The fact that this happened was not
big news, since many championship teams in many sports have been invited there
over the years, including Alabama several times. However, two things stand out
to me about this visit. First, there was not one hint of any type of protest from
the players about going to the White House. I've read that Coach Nick Saban
told his team that they were going "as a team" and that they should
be honored to receive the invitation, since few Americans get the chance to do
this and it was something they could relate to their grandchildren. The second
thing that impressed me is the fact that after the formal proceedings had

who do not like Alabama football and that is their right. However, I, for one,
was extremely proud of them for the way they handled themselves. It was
refreshing not to hear the controversy we've heard recently about such visits.
Do you think the fact that the head coach grew up in north central West
Virginia had something to do with the way this was handled? Yes, I'd like to
think that it probably did.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">One of my favorite WVU basketball players recently
left the Mountaineer program to transfer to Wichita State, namely Teddy Allen,
the 6'-5" shooting guard from Boys Town, NE. When I learned of the
transfer, I started thinking about why I liked Teddy. I think it was because he
was "different". You might call him a breath of fresh air. He appeared
to me to be his own biggest fan. The students loved him and so did the majority
of the WV fans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">When I was a kid, every story about Boys Town, NE was
a feel-good story. Maybe I related Teddy to those good old days. I really don't
know a lot about his background, except that he was the player of the year in
Nebraska his senior year in high school. Why did he end up in Boys Town, NE,
when he was from Nevada? Again, I don't know, but I'd bet Bob Huggins knew why.
It is strictly a guess, but I saw Teddy as a project that Huggins took on,
feeling that if he could dig deeply enough, he would discover an elite
basketball player Sadly, it didn't work out and I'll miss seeing Teddy Buckets
next year and I suspect, so will the WVU basketball program.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">There were lots of things going on in sports when I
was in high school. During football season, students would meet in Chapel on
Fridays, but depending on when and where the game was to be played. sometimes
we would have short "Cheerleading" sessions on other days. These
would be to send the team off feeling good about their performance. I have been
around for a long time. but I still remember David Brand and Jimmie Paugh.
Jimmie was the star of the team and was highlighted a lot. I also remember
another one but I can't think of his first name--- Bohensky. My brother, Carris
Radcliffe (WI 1942), played football and ran track. Coach Folio didn't play him
much in football, because he was so light, but he always held him up as a good
example. because Carris was always there and ready to go if the coach needed
him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">It is really good to hear from you again. I can
certainly identify with what we called "Pep Rallies", held prior to
football games. These were especially important if it was a big game or one
against a hated rival. (Do they do that anymore?) Plus, back then, the cheers
were known by the entire student body and everyone cheered. I think
cheerleaders today are just practicing for competitions. I, personally, can't
understand much of what they are saying now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">There were always players like your brother on every
team. They would show up for every practice and seldom got to play, but they
were still a vital part of the team. When a player is very small, sometimes the
coach is doing them a favor by not playing them much. Young men grow

League All-Star Teams at the age of 13. My team, the Clarksburg Americans, made
it to the 1955 Babe Ruth League World Series in Austin.TX. and came in third
place. This photo was taken at Norwood Park, when I had on my WV All-Star
uniform. Then at age 14, Bob and I played for a team in Zeising<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Thanks so much for sending this. I'm sure you guys had
a great time representing the state in Austin. Anytime you can make a national
tournament as a youngster, it is special. I attended high school with a couple
of boys who were on teams that went to both the Little League and Pony League
World Series. They said it was one of the biggest thrills they ever had. I'm
sure you and Bobby felt the same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I believe the sports mystery picture is Lyle Corder, (R-W
1957). Still, I think many WI graduates are familiar with Lyle and will
identify him correctly also. Lyle was a very good student and succeeded in
life. And as I remember, he had a near-perfect "DA" haircut back in
the 50's! And most know his father taught at Central. A pleasure knowing him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I'm sure many of our readers know Lyle, but, for some
reason, they didn't write to identify him. I like your comment about the
"DA" haircut. Most of us wore a flat top back then and where I lived,
there were only a few barbers who knew how to cut it properly. Eventually,
those guys got all the business. Do you remember the hair wax and the round
plastic brushes? Those were the days!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I was shocked to see my basketball
picture in the Newsletter. But, it is my favorite picture. It was taken in the
R-W gym where we played all our home games. They were done taking our pictures
when Coach Bonfili yelled at me: " Goose, take one with two balls"; so,
we did. I got the nickname Goose from the great Goose Tatum who often posed
that way. I had just turned 16 at the time. Attached is the only picture I have
of the real Goose; perhaps you can croup me out of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ball skills as a 16-year old. If anyone out there thinks that is easy, they
should try it. I know that I never could do it. It is said that Esa Ahmad, the
senior forward on the WVU basketball team has such large hands that he makes it
look easy. If he would only learn to hit the 15-footer consistently, it would
help my pulse rate during Mountaineer games. BTW, Goose Tatum was always a
treat to watch. Those Globetrotters were the best.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

everyone who played on the 1954-1955 great basketball team at WI. I think he
located just about everyone on the team who is still with us today. Buck heard
my big mouth cheering for these guys when they played at Carmichael Auditorium.
It was enough that he was so kind to send me one also, along with a couple
other "cheerleaders". Well, he said one size fits all. I made the 10
x 8 image look like the size of a newspaper. What a great team WI had that
year. Not only a great team, but a fantastic bunch of guys. Several of them are
still very dear friends today. I think it was very nice of Buck doing this,
although it did not surprise me. Over the years, I have received several
surprise gifts from my dear friend.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

that you will never have better friends than those who were your classmates in
your first 12 years of school. This is more proof of that. Thanks for sharing
the story and the picture. You never seem to age, Jim. It must be that Georgia

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Back in
the "good old days" (1945 ++) we moved to a small farm on the </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Lost
Creek-West Milford Road, about 1 mile west of Lost Creek. While Lost Creek was
hooked to the Jane Lew exchange of "Ma Bell" and had rotary dial
service, our new location was hooked to the West Milford (company?) plug-in
switchboard and our home phone was a "crank the operator" for
connection. Some 10 or more customers were also on this line! Our phone number
was 9r21 and our "ring" was 2 longs and one short.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">One
number I frequently called had a "ring" of four shorts! Each customer
had a "wall" phone, or the newer "desk set"-which also had
a small "crank" on the base. Each customer also had a large "dry
cell" battery, and those who didn't replace this battery often enough
dealt with greatly reduced volume.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Before
cranking, it was cordial to lift the receiver to see if the line </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">was
"busy"- and if it was wait until the line was clear to talk to the </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">operator.
There were some customers who liked to listen as you talked – </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">and the
condition of their battery was apparent to you if their battery needed
replacing.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I can remember "back in the day" when my
parents had one phone and that phone was located in the hallway just inside the
front door. During my time at Central Junior (1957 - 1958), I made three tables
in shop that adorned that hallway, two of which were still in place when my
mother moved out of the house back in 2007. The third table that I made had
been moved to the basement, as my mother had another "desk" that had
replaced the one that I had made. At some point, there was a second phone put
into my parents' bedroom, which was also there back in 2007. I also remember
"party lines", as we had one for some period of time. It was always
"something to do" if we caught someone on the party line, and we
would listen in. This was not something that we did very often, as we were
afraid of getting caught. I also remember that the first phone we had was a
"rotary dial". Can you imagine people using "rotary dial"
phones, and especially those who have their fingernails kept long and/or manicured?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Yes, it
was a party line. For some reason I think it was a 3 party-line. I was so
young, I never listened in on a phone conversation. I probably never even used
the phone. Our ring was 2 or 3 short rings and that is how one recognized that
it as their call. There was one phone and it as located on a desk in my
parent’s bedroom. When we moved to Clarksburg, the house my parents bought was
about twice the size of the one before and was 3 stories high. The phone was
located just inside the front door. conveniently there as a small hall coat
closet there which became my private phone booth. We no longer had a
party-line. But it was the only phone in our house so if you were upstairs in a
bedroom, in the basement or on the porch, it was a mad dash for the phone.
Later my parents remodeled the house and we had a second phone which was on the
wall in the kitchen. What luxury!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Born on September 4, 1918, in Dawson in Southwestern
Pennsylvania, on the Youghiogheny River, her parents were David P. and June
(Miller) Husband. Her parents offered piano lessons, little Sara took the
streetcar trolley to her teacher’s house, and gradually grew in her keyboard
ability. At Connellsville High School, she was the accompanist for the
orchestra and solo musicians, one of whom was Jack Younkin, a handsome trumpet
player who later became her husband. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Jack went off to the Great War in Italy and North
Africa, and in August, 1944, their first daughter, Barbara was born. When Jack
came home after the war, he got a job locally, and in 1946, their second
daughter Elaine, was born. Wanting to make their way in the world, Sara and
Jack moved the family to Clarksburg, West Virginia, to start a new life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In Clarksburg, Sara took a job as organist at First
Methodist Church, played for funerals at Davis Weaver Funeral Home, and
additionally became the organist playing Hammond Organ for popular music at
lunch and dinner at the famed Stonewall Jackson Hotel. With lots of important
travelers passing through, it was only a matter of time that Sara would be
discovered by a talent agent. Indeed, she had an offer to travel with a big
band (we were told it was Guy Lombardo) which she considered, but ultimately
turned it down in order to stay in Clarksburg and be a wife and mother. Change
came again in 1955, when Jack’s job uprooted the family from the hills of West
Virginia to the flat tidewater of the Eastern Shore of Maryland.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Settling in the town of Easton, Sara again found a job
as organist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Sara’s husband of 52 years, John E. Younkin, passed
away in 1994. She was also predeceased by her brother, David M. Husband,
grandson Clayton Christopher Clark, step-great grandsons, Robert William
Stevenson, and Logan Kleier.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Marianna was a Stealey girl, attending Morgan Grade
School and Central Junior High, graduating from Washington Irving High School
in 1956. She went on to graduate from WVU.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">She had
lived in Durango Colorado since 1971. In 1977, she began teaching in the
Foreign Language Department at Timberline Academy, a small boarding school. She
alternated years teaching French and Spanish and each year took the class to
either France or Spain. She also hiked, rock-climbed, kayaked and other outdoor
activities with her students.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Marianna
loved traveling and in precise detail, relayed stories of where she was and
what she was doing. This was seen in her Christmas letter to her many friends.
Each year, she wrote in great detail of her adventures and also provided pictures
and drawings. Many missed receiving her letter this past Christmas and wondered
about her. She had become ill and was diagnosed with cancer, spending three
weeks in November being tested at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston,
Texas. She passed away on January 14, 2018. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Marianna's
life was full. She had planned to open a shop on her property with her
collections from far and wide when she retired at the end of the 2017. She
reached a milestone of teaching school FIFTY years. (I know of no one who has
accomplished that and I come from a long line of teachers). Her husband, Dan,
built structures to accommodate her “stuff”, as she called it, in anticipation
of her retirement and her next adventure. Sadly, this dream of hers was not
fulfilled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Pictured above is the new baseball field at Norwood Park.
Elk Creek over flowed on April 15 2018. The cost was 1 million dollars to
build the new baseball field which was finished about two weeks with only one
or two games having been played on it before the flood. Look at what appears to
be green waves, it is actually the new Astroturf which is rolled up due to the
water flooding onto the field. Now the cost to get it repaired is about 30-40
thousand dollars. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My
husband, Peter Laine, was a journalist with the Knight Ridder Newspapers.
Therefore, we were fortunate to meet many famous people. The one that stands
out in my mind was His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, in
Miami Beach, Florida on March 9th, 1966, for a reception and dinner at the
Fontainebleau Hotel. There were 350 persons attending this lovely evening.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was a military aide for Ronald Reagan at the 1972
Republican Governors Conference at The Greenbrier. Though I only shook hands
with him twice - in a receiving line and at the Lewisburg airport before he and
Nancy boarded separate Lear jets for their return to California,</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> I spent much of the five
days with his state police entourage. Evenings I got to kibitz in The Old White
Club as Reagan advisor Michael Deaver played piano and Mrs. Reagan’s personal
secretary, Nancy Reynolds and others sang along.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was amused at some state
troopers I was riding with as they scouted the areas along roadways and woods
leading to the nearby Kate’s Mountain Lodge where a barbecue was to be held.
They were noting potential sniper locations, while I was wondering how a
hilltop in WV could provide a better kill zone than much of Sacramento, CA. (I
kept my wondering to myself.)</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Some may recall musical comedian Pete Barbutti (he's
still around) from television appearances. He memorably played
"Laura" with a straw broom on a stand-up microphone-you had to see it
to believe it (and I can't find it on YouTube). I ran into him at O'Hare
airport in 1977, gushing my appreciation for his talent. He asked my name, and
we chatted briefly. Eleven years later, I stopped by the Clarksburg Italian
Festival after a WVU football game (which the Mountaineers won 62-14 over
Bowling Green, en route to the National Championship game). Pete Barbutti, in a
tuxedo, was the warm-up act for Jerry Vale. After his funny performance I was
leaning on a parking meter in front of the then Sheraton Hotel and suddenly
became aware that he was standing, in a sports jacket, next to me. I said hello
and related our earlier meeting and told him that I'd thought of a funny line
five minutes after we parted. I told him I should have yelled as he walked
away, "Hey Pete, I'm not really Terry Shorr."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I know we are
all busy planning our summer vacations, which may include a trip home to
Clarksburg to visit family and friends, so be sure to include the Annual WI
Picnic at the Veterans Park on August 25th from 10:00 am to whenever. Look for
the Osborne Pavilion across from the Amphitheater.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We have been
able to contact a lot of the graduates from the classes of 1972 to 1980 who
were not aware of this wonderful event for all alumni. Now how can that be with
all the noise we make? Everybody in Clarksburg should know we are in town.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We have a lot
of giveaways and there is always loads of great food. We provide the tableware
and drinks, you just need to bring a covered dish and a donation to cover the
cost of renting the pavilion.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

up on all that has happened since graduation.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">When I was an English teacher at Washington Irving
(1973–81), the English students published a literary magazine called
SALMAGUNDI. It was a collection of original poetry, short stories, antidotes,
and even art work that the students collected and published quarterly. It was
really good. There were some really talented writers at that time. They chose
the title SALMAGUNDI from a satirical periodical that was created and written
by the author Washington Irving in the early 1800’s. The word salmagundi is a
mixture of chopped meats, eggs, fruits, vegetables, and anything else that the
cook decided to throw in and serve as a way to get rid of leftovers, and so the
title was very fitting to the hodgepodge content of the magazine. Washington
Irving got in trouble with his publisher for some of his articles, and his
publication was suspended after only twenty issues. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

published unit histories. When you get results from your search put a summary

in their searches.</span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This is a photo of my sister, Sara Jean (Sadie) Graham (WI 1943) celebrating her 92nd
birthday with her son, Ted, wife Amy, Granddaughter Allison and our
"Brobob", Bob Malone (WI 1949) @ Oliverio's on April 5th. (Note the
smile and lunchtime </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Margarita</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">!) She has adjusted to the Clarksburg Rehab
Facility and has adjusted quite nicely over the past year and become "The
Bingo Queen".<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was
motivated to update you on her status as a result of your promotion of the
Annual Quilt Raffle. At one point, Sadie participated in Sue Moat's quilting
project and in fact has a small quilting frame with her in her new environment.
In recognition of her birthday, I'll buy my usual chances on the raffle (The
check's in the mail.) I think the ladies have done a marvelous job with the
red/white quilt and this has to be my year to win! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">It would be a gross exaggeration for me to say I "knew" Rod Hundley. He was a "peer" (although two months younger and a year behind me in school); I played one summer league nighttime game with him on an outdoor court in Parkersburg ('54?); As a non-scholarship, end-of-the-bench "Walk-on" @ Penn State, I got one minute of courtesy "garbage time" @ home vs. WVU; I was fouled and scored 1 pt (40/g avg.?); Drank beer/shot pool w/Rod in a local bar afterwards. My college career ended shortly thereafter. (No connection. I had to go to class per my Dad.)</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Fast forward some 40+ years later while attending a Golden State Warriors/Salt Lake City Jazz game in Oakland, CA I spotted Rod (as the Jazz announcer) hanging out before the game. I approached him and he kindly waived off the security folks. He didn't know me from Adam, yet he graciously spent 10-15 minutes schmoozing with me about old times in WV. He's gone now. There are a lot of stories out there and perhaps you'll hear some. Mine simply is at the end of the day, IMHO he was a good guy!</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">As always, it is great to hear from you. I really like your story about "meeting" Hot Rod. I'm sure most of our readers, including me, would have loved to have done what you did. The closest I ever got to him was watching his games in the old Field House. He was definitely one of a kind. I've followed college basketball since the late 40's and have never seen or heard of anyone quite like him. I, for one, think we need more of his type, who played because they loved the game, as opposed to today's "money players". I'm pretty sick of the "one and done's" and "none and done's".

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was privileged to speak with Hot Rod Hundley five or
six times over the years, always for brief exchanges. I saw him play live just
once, at the Davis and Elkins gym while he toured with the Hundley All-Stars,
following his WVU career and before he went to the NBA</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Favorite memory was December, 2014, when the
Charleston YMCA gym was named in his honor. Already failing with dementia, he
didn't speak, while others did, but remained seated, natty as always in suit
and tie close to a podium on one side of the gym without bleachers. A large
audience was opposite the gym floor with 8-10 boys and girls seated on the floor
in basketball togs.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">While a speaker was relating a Hot Rod story, Hundley arose
and walked across the floor, knelt down on a level with the kids and shook
hands with each, asked their names, about school and their teams, then quietly
returned to his seat. There may not have been a dry eye in the place.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Thank you for that great story. Our family, like many
others, has been touched by dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Friends and
family are invaluable at those times. Rod was certainly a unique individual and
stayed that way right up to the end.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">What I often wonder when hearing stories like yours,
is what memories the children who met Rod that day will carry with them as they
grow older. They met a legend and will be able to relate the experience to
hundreds or perhaps thousands of people. That is what makes some moments in
life special. I know meeting Hot Rod would have been a highlight for me, as it
was to you and thousands of others. Unfortunately, I never had that pleasure,
so I only hope each of those children will cherish the memory.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">It is nice to hear from you again. I love to hear your
stories, because they are written from both a Clarksburg and Elkins
perspective. Elkins will always be special to me, since my Mother graduated
from high school there in 1919. Wow, next year will be 100 years. I must be
getting old.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

1955 West Virginia North/South Football Game in Charleston. In the April
Newsletter, I asked for our readers to identify any of the players they
recognized. There were several from the Clarksburg area.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">We had a three people who remembered
some of the players. Fred Maiocco, (WI 1955), who sent the picture, identified
Charles Moorhouse #42, Sonny Siriani #45, Rudy Columbo #62 and Fred Maiocco
#35.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Jim Alvaro, (WI 1956), recognized
Siriani, Columbo and Maiocco. In addition, he thinks that #36 in the first row
might be Paul Clayton. Also, the player in the 3rd row, second from the right
is Freddie West, who played quarterback at West Virginia Wesleyan, when Jim
played there.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Bud Collins, (WI 1955), identified
Ron Chartrand (WI) #47, Fred Maiocco (WI), Paul Clayton (WI), Rudy Columbo
(RW), Sonny Siriani (RW) and Freddie West (Unidis). He also thinks Jim Hutson
(WI) is on the team.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Coach Jon Hammond has spoken to the Charleston Area WVU Fan Club, and I've
watched Ginny Thrasher shoot in four matches. Ginny, most should know, garnered
a ton of international media coverage upon her Gold Medal in Air Rifle at the
2016 Rio Summer Olympics (which was a few months after she had won BOTH Small
Bore and Air Rifle NCAA Championships, as a freshman).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">At an Olympics medalist recognition ceremony in Morgantown, Ginny signed
a photo for my granddaughter. Months later, back in Kentucky, I mentioned Ginny
in a conversation and my granddaughter asked, "Who's Ginny Thrasher?"
I responded, "That's her autographed picture you put on the
refrigerator."</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Coach Hammond
related to our fan club a story about he and Ginny during their attendance at
the October 2016 International World Cup shooting championships in Italy (Ginny
placed third in 10M Air Rifle). As they strolled on a Rome street, a tourist
couple from Atlanta, GA noted them. Jon was wearing WVU gold and blue warm ups
and Ginny was wearing Olympic garb. Immediately the American couple was upon
them, remarking, "Wow! An Olympics fan. And WVU. Didn't WVU have the girl
winner of the first Rio Gold Medal?" Jon responded, 'Yes they did." And
the wife said, "I'll bet she is very popular when she is traveling to
other places." And Jon said, "Yes she is."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Thanks for the
interesting story. An old saying from my younger days, "Who you don't meet
when you don't have your gun", is especially appropriate for this story.
It had to have been hard for the coach and Ginny to suppress their laughter.
I'm sure he will tell the story again and again, as well he should.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">With all of
their championships, it is easy to like the WVU Rifle Team, but this goes one
step further, showing the human side of the coach and his player(s). Of course,
everybody loves a winner, but I have another reason for loving this team. I
don't recall anyone from rifle ever leaving school early to turn
"pro". They stay for four years, baby, and that's the way it should
be in all sports.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I remember attending the circus at
Carmichael Auditorium. I would take my younger sister Linda and one memory is
meeting and sitting with Danny Pettry, my "boyfriend" at the time. I
was in Ms. Brown's 5th grade class at Morgan, and Danny was in 6th grade and
was a patrol boy. Funny things a person remembers. I remember Danny wearing a
white toboggan in winter while on duty as a patrol boy. He patrolled bottom of
the hill from Morgan School near Duncan Ave., first street to the left downhill
from school. Was it Ash Ave? Strange what you remember and what you don't.
That's the only time I remember being with him, of course we were too young to
"date". I believe I read his obituary in your newsletter a few years
ago. I don't write for the newsletter often, but once before mentioned I began
dating Leroy Berkley right after his high school graduation. I had 1 more year
of high school left. We had both been in Mr. Hall's typing class together. We
married in August, l962. 56th anniversary in few months. We've lived in North
Carolina most of those years. Two of my high school friends were Sharon Lantz
(Hurley) and Carol Greynolds (Cleveland). Both of them have settled in North
Carolina also, I'm near Raleigh. They both are in NC mountains. We have met in
the mountains when husband was on business there but haven't seen Sharon or
Carol since he retired. Mary Jo Pulice (Benedetto) also a high school friend,
visited me once in North Carolina when she was on a business trip to Raleigh.
Well those are my memories for now. Seems when you're older you only retain so
much information. I have a hard time figuring out some of the pictures posted
and being asked to respond to what some of the buildings are. Good there are
some that do remember. Again, thanks for your dedication to the newsletter and
also your sister and husband.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

concrete arch on the left still read SALEM COLLEGE but it seemed to be a reflection

Salem College and I remembered as a young child visiting her in that community.
It was alive, vibrant and each home was neatly cared for with nice lawns.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Let me
see if I can connect the dots on this heading. It was in early 1950's when
David Zinn and I were in the seventh grade at Central and the big Methodist
church burned down. David and I were budding explorer-archeologists and the
blackened ruins of that historic landmark loomed invitingly right next door to
the junior high. The dust was still settling from the aftermath of WWII, and for
two inquisitive boys like us, it was just too tempting for some exciting lunch
time adventures. We would take our sack (poke) lunches with us and stealthily
slip into the ruins. On different days, we made various forays all through the
lower levels, but it was the bell tower that beckoned us the strongest. Over
the charred timbers and burnt stones, our feet crunching on stained glass, rock
dust and assorted rubble, we climbed clear to the top as far as we could go.
Here we perched with the pigeons high above the city where we could look out
over the rooftops of all the buildings in that part of Clarksburg. We felt like
we were Maquis fighters in the bombed ruins of wartime France. And we had to be
super secretive because even though the Nazis were done for, we had to escape
the notice of all of our ever-vigilant teachers and any other authority
figures. But, alas, one day our lunchtime fantasy adventures came to an abrupt
and screeching halt. When we strolled back into school fresh from “our tower”
on that fateful day, it was not the head Nazi awaiting us, but a pretty scary
guy anyway—Principal E.J. Lowther himself. And gasp, he directed us to march
directly into his lair. Out came his paddle and we were told to assume the
position. Painful—very, he was an especially vigorous paddler for an old guy
with a limp. This all took place in near silence—except for the loud paddle
cracks and our yelping; and while he never did mention our ecclesiastical
explorations, we knew it was time to face the music. Our sublime lunch time
adventures had come to end with a final, inglorious thud. Who our informers
were, we never found out. Maybe it was the charcoal marks on our trousers, the
plaster dust on our shoes--even the pigeons were silent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Often,
we overlook a woman whose life is unrecognized because of the men in her
family. Amy Roberts Vance is now recognized as only one name of our historical
structure, The Stealey, Goff, Vance House. Her son, Cyrus Roberts Vance, was an
important part of the history of the United States and the role he played
during the Presidency of Jimmy Carter. The Vance family, and their close
relationship to John W. Davis, who ran for the US Presidency in 1924, and his
family, are part of the connections to American history and that of West
Virginia. But just who was Amy Roberts Vance, and how did her influences
encourage major social and civic development in Harrison County? Mrs. Vance Amy
Roberts, was born into a prominent family in Philadelphia in 1881. Amy Roberts
married John Carl Vance II, of Clarksburg, and would have two sons, John Carl
Vance III, and Cyrus Roberts Vance, who was born in Clarksburg in 1917. Mr.
Vance, a prominent business man, decided to move his family to Bronxville, NY
to enlarge his business as an insurance broker. He would then work with a
government agency during WWI. Unfortunately, Mr. Vance died in 1922, when his
boys, Cyrus was only 5, were still young. Following his death, Mrs. Vance would
move with her sons to Switzerland where they would attend school and learn
French. Back in the states, she may have lived with her family while the boys
were schooled. (I have not verified that period of her life.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Mrs.
Amy Roberts Vance would eventually return to Clarksburg, West Virginia in 1934.
The boys, now young men, had gone to elite schools and were moving up in the
world of business and politics. Amy’s ties to Clarksburg were many, with the
various families who had offered their comfort during her travels and the
growth of her sons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>John W. Davis, whose
ties with the various civic, political and social development of the county,
had become an “adoptive” father to young Cyrus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Davis would mentor and introduce the young man to the world of politics
and law as he grew. Amy, in the meantime, would begin to imprint her talents
and organizational skills into the community at a time when many in Clarksburg
were needy as a result of the Depression.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Harrison County was actually booming with industry and economic development
in the 1930s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, the need to fill
the nutritional, medical and diverse needs for many people, especially children
and young mothers, was great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Class
distinctions were very difficult to overcome. Amy stepped up to the plate, so to
speak, and her cultural and civic contributions <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">would
become well known.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her contributions to
such organizations as The American Red Cross, The League for Service and
“Inasmuch Baby Clinic”, were outstanding at a time when the investment by women
in volunteer and organizational efforts were most needed. Women were wives and
mothers first, but their skills were for free.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Women
in the previous century, were known as Mr. Smith’s daughter or Mr. Smith’s
wife. Through the 1980s when women were mentioned by name in newspapers, or
listings of organizations, were known as Mrs. John Smith, not Mrs. Mary
Smith.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Amy Roberts Vance would defy
convention in many ways by being a driving force for the social and
intellectual community that was thriving during Clarksburg and Harrison
County’s best of times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mrs. Amy Roberts
Vance would be involved in leadership of the Tuesday Club, a literary society;
The League for Service, the Clarksburg Country Club; The Goff Plaza Garden
Club; board of directors and founder of the Clarksburg Community Concert
Association; and the board of the Clarksburg Public Library to name just a
few.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of those meetings were held in
her home, the “Vance House”, which she had remodeled and updated. Mrs. Amy
Roberts Vance, a widow with young children to raise on her own, was a product
of her birth and social standing; but she became a leader in her time of
widowhood and become part of the development of a community with many needs.
Those times of glory are past.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Harrison
County is entering a new era of possibilities for women and girls to learn from
the past; you too can become a leader in civic and social growth, no matter the
circumstances. Thanks to some of the informative sources provided by Carolyn
Reynolds Burnside and her book “Unto the Least of These”, History of the
Clarksburg League for Service; and Dr. Helen Jones for some of her valuable
collections of research materials. Lastly, to M. Linn Maxwell for her memories
of taking tea and luncheon on the Vance House patio with her childhood friends
Amy, Grace and Camilla outfitted in their proper dresses, white gloves and best
manners. Linn’s memories of entering the Vance house from the front entrance
and seeing her young friend sitting on the stairs waiting for her, were so
touching. This makes our 1807 historic house come alive with memories of the
people that lived there. Women of all sizes, colors, social, economic, cultural
and academic levels have minds and will create, organize, and contribute. Yes,
we can!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I can remember my first date from "back in the
day". It was with Nancy LOWTHER (now Pekera). I can remember walking up
Broaddus Avenue from my parent's house to where Nancy lived, as she lived in an
upstairs "apartment" at the corner of Mulberry and Chestnut Streets.
I do not remember where we went, but it was probably to a movie, as I think
that we were too young to be going to a dance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I later saw Nancy on a flight to or from Washington,
D.C., and also at one (or more) of the WI class of 61 reunions, as she
graduated with me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was in the WI band my
freshman year, 1949 – 1950. I played the small tuba. There were two or three
big ones.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The band had its own set of
bleachers at the corner of Hite field, and we had a good time during the home
football games. We played, flirted, and came up with several of our own cheers
– none of them are printable here.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We went on two buses to the
away football games—one for the boys, one for the girls. After the game
everybody piled into the two buses for the return trip. Two of the boys, Donnie
Hawkins who played the bass drum and a boy named Crawley, whose first name I
don’t remember, put scarves over their heads, tied them under their chins and
got on the girl’s bus.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

me, the boys sat near the back of the bus and joined in the singing all the way
home, their bass voices resonating throughout the bus. Nothing untoward
happened, and nobody minded. Everyone on the bus had a good time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">To all
my WI Band Alumni. This was a very exciting time in my life as I am sure it was
for many in the band. Always had great memories of the Festival Parades in
other cities, but the best was the Band Festival in Clarksburg. Three glorious
days of bands from all over the area. We always had students from other bands
staying with us. This particular picture of me in my majorette uniform was most
memorable because it was the first time wearing our new uniforms made of gold
velvet with blue cords. We had a great afternoon getting measured for them and
then the day we picked them up was even more memorable. It was like
Christmas!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Until my first parade at the August 1954 Shinnston Frontier
Days I had only stood still with a lightweight (seemingly bamboo) drum hanging
from a strap over my shoulder. Now I'm a ~ 135-pound freshman, carrying the
heavy WI drum with a leg guard slicing at my kneecap with each painful step,
and I managed to drop a drumstick seven (sic) times during the short parade.
Sophomore trumpeter Ernie Bastin, marching directly behind me, picked up the
stick and handed it to me, each time with a darker glare in his eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">After the parade, Ernie steely said to me, "Don't
ever do that again."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I marched in front of him for three more years and
never again dropped a stick.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

around my hands and sticks...)</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Life's works started when I graduated in 1965.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Started with Fairmont State Collage (three Semesters) </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">and then into the USAF as an air traffic controller.
Spent 4 years plus of being a "scope dope". Then headed home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Back in Fairmont to become a welder on mining
equipment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Sucked on the gases and blew smoke rings. Yea, I
smoked then.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">After 2 years of welding we went to Miami for some
clean air.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Worked as a weight and measuring tech on diamond scales
thru railroad track scales.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">A 50 lb. weight dropped on your big toe really hurt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Back again to Fairmont and an Engineering firm
developing a way to burn coal cleanly. It was a DOE project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Then on to work in Israel. Oh, the sound of a
"105"at night time is scary! Worked for a General in the Corp who
gave me a stand up thank you at the Hilton. That was a proud time! I had the
opportunity to work in Israel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">It was a Corp of Engineering project in the 80's. My
firm provided support for the Corp.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I remember sitting in some Roman ruins looking out
over olive groves. What a thrill!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Do not ever pluck an olive from the tree and just pop
it into your mouth. No wine or bread or cheese can remove the taste!! I was
told to go to any Israeli home for shelter if anything bad happened. I was
always treated with respect and all liked to talk about the USA.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Working there was a thrill of a lifetime!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Back to Fairmont and I joined the Power plant side of
Monongahela Power Company. Worked there for many years and then went across the
Mon River to work at a new recycling pulp mill. I was laid off after about a
year plus of work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Then I went into real estate and bought a few rentals.
This is my story and I am sticking to it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Yea, I may have left something out.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">A few
months ago, I wrote about living on Main Street, and going to Pierpont Grade
School. I continue with some memories of Pierpont, and Central Junior High
School. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Shortly
after starting Pierpont Grade School, we moved from Main Street to Dale Avenue.
Dale Avenue is the street that runs from Chestnut to Sumner Street. Across from
where Dale intersects with Chestnut set the Old Saint Mary’s Hospital. Remember
the Thanksgiving snow of 1950? We had just moved to Dale Avenue when that hit.
Unlike today, schools did not panic and shut down back in those days. I
remember walking to school, down Dale Avenue and Sumner Street, on sidewalks
that were partially shoveled, with snow piled up on both sides, well above my
head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In the
early fifties, my father and uncles were in the pool room business. They were
also in the grocery store business, restaurant business and even used car
business. There were three pool rooms on one block of Pike Street, between
Second street and Third street. Two uncles owned the Strand and the Recreation
and ran the pool hall operations. My dad and another uncle ran the lunch
counters at the poolrooms. The lunch counter was separated from the pool hall
by a set of swinging doors, old west saloon style. Of course, there was no ESPN
back in those days, but we had ticker tape feeds and would post ball scores on
a huge blackboard in the pool room. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
Ellis Drive-In Theater and Restaurant was constructed in the early
fifties. Drive-in theaters were big
business back in those days because the movies were the preferred form of
entertainment before TV. Clarksburg did not get cable TV until around 1956, and
the only station we could try to bring in with an antenna prior to WBOY and
cable was KDKA in Pittsburgh, and that required a very high antenna to get a
fuzzy, snowy picture and staticky sound.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
Drive-In was a family affair, with all of us pitching in to do some of the
work. </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My older brother and</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> cousins helped direct traffic, and my Cousin Mary
Ellen worked as car a hop. When we first opened, the orders were taken at the
car windows, but later we installed speaker-phones to take orders. My jobs
started out when I was around 11 or 12, doing things like popping corn, forming
and filling popcorn boxes, and cleaning the drive-in theater field. Later, as I
got older, I advanced to washing dishes, waiting on customers at the counter,
working in the theater concession stand, and taking orders on the speaker
phones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
picture of the front of the restaurant, taken from Route 50, shows the drive-in
restaurant parking area after speaker-phones were installed. You can see the DJ
booth, where disk jockey’s from WBOY Radio would broadcast live from the Ellis
“Sky Castle.” That got the drive-in a lot of activity from teen-agers, dropping
by to order pizza, hot dogs, etc., and listening to the DJ and music. Dick
Husted was one of our premier early DJ’s.
Another local broadcaster that worked at the Ellis was John Peters. I
don’t recall John broadcasting from Sky-Castle, but he played organ and
appeared regularly in the main dining room playing dinner music.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">About the same time that the Ellis opened, when I was in
the sixth grade at Pierpont, my friend Chris Hill and I decided to put on a
talent show at school. Mrs. Whalen, the principal, agreed, and we planned two
shows, one during the day for the students, and one after school for the
parents. Chris and I were school boy patrols at that time, and I
remember auditioning several hopeful singers and a clarinet player during our
patrol duties. We were stationed at the corner of Chestnut and Main Street and
I remember taking the auditioning students across the street, then going back
to the other side and asking them to sing or play. I guess we wanted to see how
loud they were. We could have gotten in trouble for that, but I don’t remember
being caught. We had comics, singers, dancers, music and a skit in the talent
show. I was M.C. and played the trumpet accompanied by my brother Sam on the
drums. I think Chris may have played the clarinet in the show.</span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Leaving
Pierpont, I attended Central Junior High, with just about everyone who ended up
going to WI. Chris Hill lived on Chestnut Street, and I would meet him just
about every morning and we would walk together to Central. Chris was brought up
Methodist, and Republican. I was raised Catholic and Democrat. We clearly had
some differences of opinion, and I remember on one of our walks to school him
hauling off and hitting me with no warning after we had a bit of a disagreement
about something. I was more surprised than hurt. I weighed about 180 pounds in
those days, and Chris probably weighed about 90. Whatever the disagreement was,
it was quickly forgotten, and Chris remained a good friend throughout or days
at Central and WI.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">On our
walk to Central heading up Main Street we passed the Arcade, Hagen’s, Home
Industries Bakery, the 5 and 10 cent stores, and many other businesses that are
long gone from Main Street. The loss of the Arcade was particularly sad for me
because my grandfather had a shoe repair shop in the Arcade. He was a true
craftsman from Italy, and he could make shoes from scratch, or make an old pair
of shoes as good as new. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I loved
visiting his shop, and clearly remember the drive shaft running along the wall.
Turned by an electric motor, it would drive belts that wound around pulleys on
various machines he used to cut, polish, stamp, and sew leather. I remember
that I loved the smell of the leather, dye, polish, and hot glue that he used
in the shop. I guess you could say it
was an intoxicating smell, and that may be literally true. He never reopened
his business after the Arcade burned down in 1957.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I
seldom ate lunch in school during my days at Central Junior High. Hot dogs at
Hagen’s were a treat. If you recall, they were not the traditional West Virginia
hot dog on a steamed bun. Hagen’s served their dogs on what I called a grilled
“English bun.” Now before you ridicule my use of the term “English Bun,” I am
aware that true hot dog aficionados refer to the buttered, toasted bun as a
“New England” style bun. But all I ever heard them called during my youth was
“English Bun,” so I use the term to this day. Unlike many West Virginia hot dog
connoisseurs who eschew the grilled English bun, I liked it and don’t mind
eating them today, if they contain the requisite mustard, chili, and onions.
Additional great lunch places in downtown Clarksburg were the counters at
McCrory and Woolworth five-and-ten-cent stores. The cold subs, with salami,
bologna, and slaw were particularly good. Also, let’s not forget Ritzy Lunch,
another great hot dog place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

years at central Junior High were fun, except for dodgeball. And too soon, it
was on up the “hill” to WI. But this article is getting too long, so I will
save that for next month. I hope some of my memories jog your memories of
growing up in the fifties. And if you need something more visual and audial to

MANY FRIENDS from "back in the day" (James Correll, Bobby Secret, Jim
Collins, Ronnie Shaw, Brooks Gainer and Bill Post). Losing my friend Bill Post
really hits me hard as Bill Post was my best friend at WI, from 1959 to 1961. Bill
and I used to go everywhere together, as his dad let him use the family car.
Bill and I used to walk the farmlands out on Davisson Run. We used to go over
to Stealey playground to play basketball. I had kept in touch with him over the
years and had the pleasure to visit with him last August when I was in
Clarksburg for the WI picnic. Bill, Bob Swats, Dave Corbett, Jim McIntire and I
were "besties", and sad to say - Bob and I are the only two remaining
of the FAB FIVE. SO BOB, please stay HEALTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Everyone
in the WI Class of 61 who played sports worked with and appreciated our trainer
Brooks. He was always encouraging, caring and tried to make sure that you had
everything you needed if he had it. Brooks was really a good and caring person.
In my Junior year I played a defensive back position and in the game with
Parkersburg Coach Moore put me in the game and as Mike Dyer (Parkersburg), was
running through our defense like crazy, I dove for him as he did a stutter step
and I landed with all of my weight on my small finger on my left hand. When I
got up and headed back waiting for the next play I saw that my finger was
totally bent backwards and I grabbed it and pulled it back into position and we
had two more downs before I went to the sidelines. On the sidelines my little
finger was now swollen and I was holding it in place and asked Brooks if he
could tape it up, he looked at it and said you need to see Dr. Mills who was on
the sidelines. Dr Mills looked at it and said "I’ll bet that damn thing
hurts" and told Brooks to wrap it up, he’s ok. It was broken and took
weeks to heal and as I recall I went to Joe Manchin's clinic for therapy
afterwards and it took several months before I had use of it. My finger really
was sensitive to the cold and is still crooked. I know a lot of us smile and
remember. We are all at the age where we remember those little things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">A friend of mine passed away a few weeks ago. It was
unexpected, but I think he was in a hurry to join his wife Suzanne. We’ll miss
him, but I’m sure if given a choice, Brooks would stay right where he is and
not come back. I met Brooks in Cub Scouts gazillion years ago in the 1950’s.
Others in our troop were Tom Kearns, Irvin Miller, Artie Asby, Mark Mills, and others
who I apologize that I can’t remember their names. In high school at WI, Brooks
was our student trainer for all sports. He may have been the first student
trainer in the state of West Virginia. Brooks’ treatments included wrapping
knees, ankles and wrist and mid-sections for bruised ribs as well as applying
ice or “atomic bomb” ointment to an injured area. Brooks also understood the
importance of us being hydrated as we practiced in August two-a-days. The norm
in those days was to be given a big salt pill as we left the locker room to go
to the practice field and no liquids on the field. Brooks told me one time to
drink as much water as I could both before and after practice. A couple of
times I got my “bell rung” and Brooks gave me the good old smelling salts and
tried to convince the coaches and me to stay out of the game, normally to no
avail. Brooks was ahead of his time!!! Brooks’ help to his classmates didn’t
stop at high school. Many of us have called Brooks over the years to get his
opinion on some health problem that we or a spouse were enduring. It always
made me feel better to get Brooks opinion and suggestions. I knew he cared and
would continue to take care of his friends wherever they might live. Two things
that stand-out about Brooks is his love for Suzanne and for animals. Brooks
also had a deep love for his friends, and we all sensed that. That’s why we
kept coming back for advice from our “Trainer”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I have more memories of Brooks Gainer from
post-graduate times than I do from days at WI (other than knowing that he was
"Trainer" Gainer and very well respected at what he did).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #262626; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I remember his being an "unofficial" doctor
for one of our classmates and also always seemed to go out of his way to get to
any funerals for WI graduates, class of 61 or not. I remember my brother
telling me that Brooks was at Bobby Secret's funeral service back in December.
Bill Post's wife (Marian) told me that Brooks was at Bills funeral service just
a few weeks back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #262626; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I remember his hearing about one of the class of 61
having a heart attack and being taken to Ruby Memorial Hospital. Brooks went to
the hospital and checked in on the classmate. He even talked to the person's
nurse and made sure that the nurse kept him posted on the person's condition.
And, he passed the person's condition along to the rest of the class of 61.
This was not a one visit situation, as I know that Brooks either went to check
on the classmate when he was at Ruby Memorial, or he would call to find out how
the classmate was doing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I remember him bringing his wife to the class of 61's
55th reunion at the Best Western on Bridgeport Hill back in 2016. He brought
her in in a wheelchair and was immediately surrounded by several of his
classmates trying to offer their assistance in getting he and his wife taken
care of as far as dinner was concerned. Brooks said "Don't worry, as I got
this". BUT, none of the classmates (including me) backed off and continued
helping Brooks and his wife get their plates filled from the buffet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The other time that I had the privilege of spending
quality time with Brooks and his wife was at our Twin Oaks dinner last August,
and they sat at the same table as did my brother (Bob) and I. You cannot imagine
how shocked I was to hear that his wife passed away the next day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">"Trainer
Gainer." That's how I first knew Brooks, a smart boy who took all the
tough courses and still found time to be student trainer for our athletic
teams. Our family moved to Clarksburg when I was in eighth grade, so that was a
year when I didn't really know anyone, too busy with getting adjusted to new
house, new town, new school. But by the time I got to WI, I was beginning to
feel at home and also aware of Brooks, not only in classes but running out onto
field or court to help injured players. I remember him recommending to the
coaches that a football player with a concussion not return to play that night.
Only now are we fully realizing how dangerous these head injuries can be.
Brooks was way ahead of his time not only in that way but in having a vision
for his path forward. His life of service began at WI, continued at WVU and
later as a doctor and passionate volunteer. We lost contact during those
after-WI years, but happily we got back in touch at our class dinner last
August, when I had the pleasure of meeting his wife, Suzanne. She was the love
of his life, and its center too. Her precipitous death the day after that
dinner was so stunning that Brooks never really recovered. I happened to be in
Morgantown a few days later and suggested we get together for dinner so he
might get out of that sad, empty house for at least a few hours. We sat at a restaurant
by the river and talked of old times and new, of loss and redemption, of the
strength to carry on when all we can see ahead are dark days. After that
evening, we stayed in touch by email, sharing hopes and challenges, mostly just
being there for each other. And now he, too, is gone with a suddenness that
beggars belief. It is hard to fathom how two such remarkable people can be
taken so abruptly, but we have to accept that and go on. I take comfort in
knowing that this extraordinary pair, who loved each other so deeply, are
together after only a short while apart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Probably
similar to many of Brook's friend's memories in his WI trainer days was seeing
him running out onto the football field, kit in hand to tend an injured player.
We'd know it was serious if a doctor would follow. Little did we know Brooks
would someday become one himself. I'd lost track of him for some years but got
reacquainted when he attended some of our later class reunions. We shared our
wives' illness stories, care and concerns. Brooks was very helpful in my
Susan's placement in nursing homes. He had good useful advice. God bless him
and all his family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Roleta and I just returned from a 13-day trip to the Holy
Land. We visited Jordan and Israel. The trip has been on my "bucket
list" for many years and although my wife was reluctant at first, I
finally convinced her that we would be safe traveling in the Middle East.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We started in Jordan, visiting Petra, an ancient city
over two thousand years old. The only way to reach the site was by walking or
riding a horse drawn cart over very rough terrain. The walk, which we chose,
was 2-1/2 miles downhill, which translated into 2-1/2 miles uphill for the
return. According to Roleta's Fitbit, we walked seven miles that first day.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We then visited Mt. Nebo, from where Moses viewed the
Promised Land, which he did not enter, since he died and apparently was buried
on the mountain, prior to crossing the Jordan River.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Unlike Moses, we did cross the Jordan into Israel. We
encountered two checkpoints at the border and crossed successfully. We were
told that is not always the case, as security is very tight in Israel.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We were kept very busy, traveling by bus 9-10 hours each
day, taking in all of the sites and being amazed at actually seeing what we've
read about all of our lives in the bible. We saw Jericho, where "the walls
came tumbling down", Bethany Beyond-the-Jordan, where Jesus was baptized
by John The Baptist and Masada, the Jewish stronghold, where rebels against
Roman rule made their last stand. A highlight for me was seeing the original
cave where the</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> <span style="background: white;">Dead Sea Scrolls were found.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Touring Jerusalem and surrounding areas, we followed the
life of Jesus, from Bethlehem to Nazareth to Capernaum and back to Jerusalem to
the sites of His crucifixion, burial and resurrection.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The highlight of the trip was the chance to be baptized
in the Jordan River. Although we had both been baptized previously, this time
it was extra special for us.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Incidentally, we walked after dark in West Jerusalem,
which is a mostly Arab neighborhood, and had no problem at all. I truly believe
Jerusalem is safer than most large cities in our own country, so do not let
concerns for security prevent your traveling in Israel. It could be your trip
of a lifetime. It was for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The WIN Quilters have
been graciously volunteering their talent to make a quilt for the WI Newsletter
Scholarship for the last 13 years. I believe my calculation for that is
correct. This is the only money maker for the Scholarship, other than that, it
is your generosity in supporting this scholarship that helps it to exist.
Anyway, each volunteer receives a packet of material to use in the quilt square
and some suggestions from Sue Selby Moats. The ladies piece together their
squares and press them and send them to Sue. Sue then arranges the squares to
make a lovely pattern. She puts a border around each square, sews this all
together, then she puts a border all around the entire quit top. There is a
backing put in place with some material in between. Then the quilt top is put
in place. Sue then quilts all the pieces together with a lovely pattern all
over the quilt. The results are magnificent. This year the quilt looks
exceptionally lovely as it is all red and white! What a beautiful addition to
any bedroom. </span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I sell tickets for the quilt which cost 6 for $5.00 and increase
the same with each additionally $5.00. I do not sell tickets for less that
groups of 6. I write down each name of each purchaser and write down the number
on the tickets that the person is assigned for the money they sent. Sue then
sends the quilt to the winner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think this building is the Masonic Temple. It is located across from the
current Public Library and originally the Ritz Theater. This is a beautiful
building owned and operated by the Masonic Bodies, Lodge #155 and Lodge 6.
Masonic organizations met there including Queen Esther Chapter #11 of Eastern
Star and several others. There is a large kitchen, banquet room and stage on
the second floor. At one time for several years Hope Gas had offices in the
building. It is also the office for the Masonic Cemetery on Joyce Street in
Clarksburg. I understand there was even a shooting range in the basement that was
used by the Demolay chapter. The Rainbow girls also met there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Street. It is located across from the VFW and close to where the Ritz Theater
used to be, which is now the library. I think that the building behind the
Lodge, might be the Elks Lodge which (I think) burned down. I think that the
Elks Lodge is now down on Pike Street, close to Notre Dame High School.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It was originally 3 buildings West of 4<sup>th</sup> Street. The building on
left was the Elks Building which was torn down. There used to be a Sears
appliance center on Corner, not the Sears Retail on 2<sup>nd</sup> and Main.
The partial picture on left was The Jewish Synagogue, also now gone. At corner
of Pike and 4<sup>th</sup> now is BB&T branch bank, and parking lot for

uncle was a 33<sup>rd</sup> degree Mason and my father a 32-degree Mason and
thus my brother (Phil) and I were encouraged to be a part of the Masonic organization
thru the DeMolay. The namesake of the Order of DeMolay was born in France in
the year 1244, and at the age of 21 DeMolay joined the Order of Knights
Templar. The organization of the DeMolay strives to develop leaders thru
stressing love of family, reverence for sacred things, courtesy, comradeship,
patriotism, and fidelity. To encourage socialization in the organization, there
was a club room in the back of the Masonic Temple with a pool table and ping
pong table; the DeMolay organized and participated in civic activities.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My son Joseph and I think the mystery picture is the Masonic Temple. It
was on Pike Street by the Elks Club and the Synagogue until it was torn down.
The American Legion and VFW were across the street. I have been a member of the
Eastern Star for over fifty years and attended the meetings there until I moved
to Morgantown. My mother served in different offices as a member of the Eastern
Star. Two of my brothers were Masons along with my uncles and cousins. The
Green Lawn Cemetery located near Wilsonburg is a Masonic graveyard. My mother
told me that when her brother (my Uncle Frank) came home from World War I, he
bought the family plot there so that is where my grandmother, my grandfather, my
Uncle Frank and several other family members are buried. The Radcliffe spaces
hold my wonderful mother, my dear younger brother and his wife and it is near
the Swiger family plot. My family has been so much a part of the story of
Stealey and Clarksburg. Just think, my mother went to Morgan School and when my
brothers, sister and I went to Morgan School, the same principal was there that
was her principal. Not many kids can say that. Thank you for the Newsletter and
the opportunity to share what history I know about Clarksburg. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">The
Mystery picture is the Clarksburg Masonic Temple. I was in Rainbow Girls there.
It was held on the top floor. My mother was quite active in Eastern Star at one
time.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Rainbow was the girl’s
organization of Masons and Easter Star. You didn't have to have a relationship
either adult organization in order to belong. You just had to be asked by one
of the members of the order. It was great--we met girls from other schools and
built up quite a comradeship. Rainbow Girls had a datebook they published every
year. The girl who sold the most got to go to Grand Assembly that year. I was
fortunate to sell the most I believe my Junior year and got to attend Grand
Assembly in Denver Colorado that year.
Suzan Williams Hood also attended that year. It was a wonderful trip. There
were girls from all over WV there. Some of the adults were some of the greatest
I have ever met.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think one of the things
I learned from Rainbow was discipline more than anything. It was ritualistic
work and we had a tough taskmaster in Mrs. Fittro who made sure we toed the
line and learned our memory work and floor work. I'm sure we did projects but
right now I can't think of any. I'm sure some of the other readers can relate
more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Sadly, I don't think
there is a Rainbow chapter in Clarksburg anymore. Not sure about the rest of
the country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

your school? What did you do? Did the students really gather the news? Did the
students write the columns, edit the input from others, do the layouts, meet
the deadline, take it to the publisher, who published the newspaper? Write and
tell us all about it. I asked this question before. Someone actually read the
question and answered it. Can you tell us your experiences? I remember that
Judy Daugherty was a member of the staff of the “Hilltopper” when we were in
WI. I don’t know how people were picked to be on the staff? Was it a popularity
thing? Was it a volunteer club? How were the positions filled on the staff? I
was never approached nor knew anything about it at that time, I didn’t think I
had any ability in composition or what it takes to write anything, let alone an
essay. Now look at the twist in my life, I am involved. Write and tell us your
experiences. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Mike Patrick and I were
the sports editors of the Hilltop newspaper and Memoirs yearbook for our class
of 1962. We were planning to be roommates at WVU, but his grandparent’s
decision to relocate to northern Virginia upon his grandfather’s retirement
very likely raised Mike’s GPA by at least a full point given how much better my
eventual roommate did once I was no longer a bad influence on him. I am
attaching one of the articles that Mike wrote for the October, 1961, Hilltop.
Victories in both football and basketball were rare that school year, so
writing on the games was not always easy. Mike had great talent as a writer;
was the student commander of his Air Force ROTC wing at George Washington University;
had the talent to compete at a high level of baseball; and was a natural on-air
talent. He would have been highly successful in any of these career options,
but it was a great thing for all of us that he was able to find such a public
voice with which to express his love for Clarksburg.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

their memories of events they attended at The Carmichael Auditorium in the good
old days of Clarksburg. Some events to remember and share might be the B F
Goodrich Tire men that played every Sunday afternoon in basketball season,
Shriner Circus, Harlem Globetrotters, Wresting, Boxing, Carbon annual Picnic,
and all the High School basketball games.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">NOTE FROM:
Roleta1@aol.com: I didn’t realize that all the high schools in the Clarksburg
area played their home basketball games in the Carmichael. I must have led a
sheltered life, I thought it was only used by WI? Do you remember differently?
What schools played there? Write and tell me about the atmosphere there. Where
did you get your ticket? Were there refreshments? Who sold them? I think there
was a balcony but no seats up there? How did people get up there? Who went
there? I never did. But weren’t there a lot of places back then that we girls
just knew we should not go? Can you list some of them? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I recall looking out my bedroom window on Waverly Way in Stealey and seeing the
light from the fire. What do you remember about the fire? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I wish more people from early 1970’s classes would write in. I would love
to read stories from people around my class time als0, but I love reading all
of them. My brother who is 14 years older than me also went to WI in the late
1950’s (George Skinner). Thus, I can relate to all of the entries from
graduates of those years also. Just like with music, I grew up loving and
having an appreciation of Big Bands music due to the age of my parents. And I
like music of the 50’s because of my brother. Then also the music of my age
group! <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">What kind of music and / or
movies did you all like to listen to or watch?</span> I personally loved the
Big Band music, but then there was the Everly Brothers, Pat Boone, Frank
Sinatra /then Three Dog Night, Grass Roots, Statler Brothers, Captain and
Taneal, the Lettermen<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and The
Carpenters. And the movies & actors, I loved Jimmy Stewart, Frank Sinatra,
Pat Boone, John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Robert Redford. I loved musicals and movies
like Spencer’s Mountain, White Christmas, Calamity Jane, Oklahoma, Seven Brides
for Seven Brothers. The list could go on and on but I won’t bore you anymore
but thought this might make for another good topic of discussion!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I always enjoy the newsletter and appreciate all the effort that you and
your sister, not to mention Bill, put into it. However, in these past few
months, it has reminded me forcefully how vulnerable my generation has become.
I have lost some dear folks lately, as have others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Bob Secret was my brother Bob’s best friend when they were in high school,
and they, of course, remained friends for life. I remember being home from
college, acting the big sister, taking those two young men out to dinner at
O’Days. What fun to see, to be with those two young men in ties and sports
jackets! I graduated from college the same year they graduated from WI.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Ronnie Shaw was a neighborhood boy, a year ahead of me in school. He
taught my brother Bob how to ride a bike when Bob, at least five years younger
than Ron, could hardly touch the peddles. Shaw persisted and their friendship
continued into adulthood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Jim Collins also grew up in our neighborhood, and after his father’s
untimely death, my dad took him under wing for a while, taking him with us to
Audra, to Pittsburgh, etc. Indeed, he was like a third brother to me. In fact,
despite his being a year younger and then in grade 6, I took him to my first
SubDeb dance in grade 7. For many years, even after his marriage and becoming a
father, he would show up at our mother’s house on Christmas morning. I last saw
him at a class reunion (mine, not his) where we danced one more time to Rock
around the Clock, the tune we had taught ourselves to dance to in our living
room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Speaking of that SubDeb dance, Shaw was there too. Don’t remember who his
date was. The dance was at Oral Lake. Shaw and Collins disappeared at some
point, only to return with mud up to their knees. They had gone exploring and
the lake had been drained for the winter. Needless to say, that was the end of
the dancing that night!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I am enclosing a check for the Scholarship, in
memory of Bob Secret, Jim Collins, and Ronnie Shaw. No quilt tickets,
please.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

squinting my eyes in every photo, trying to imitate his beautiful eyes. I just

later, he, Jim Villers, was my date for the senior prom. No, he still wasn’t
interested in me, but his girlfriend, Judy, was from WI and my boyfriend,
Punky, had already graduated. Since they were not allowed to attend, Jim asked
me to go with him. We have kept in touch for 65 years. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">(See photo above of Jimmie Villers and West Virginia governor Mr. Cecil Underwood.)</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The article written by
Mr. Bates (WI 1951) re: Friday chapels spurred memories of a freshman and sitting
in the balcony. Then as sophomores and juniors we were able to sit on main
floor. Big Seniors were relegated to the center of the auditorium and it seemed
so very large at that time. In answer I believe we called it Friday Assembly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

always enjoy Mike Snyder’s (Win1957) articles, no matter what the subject. He
makes them so interesting and colorful. I particularly liked his memories of
Freddy Dunham, (WI 1957). I could picture both of them back in that time frame
in Stealey, students of WI and WVU and their escapades.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

date was with Frank Bush, who was called Lee in Junior High. I was in Y Teens
and asked him to go to the Sadie Hawkins Dance with me in 7th grade. We had
many other dates during Junior High, movies, skating and parties. What a sweet
guy! In high school, I dated Tom Brown and our weekly date was to the Moose Hall
to dance. RIP Tom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was so thrilled to see the post from David Andre concerning the foreign
exchange student Goran who lived with his family in the 50s. Goran made quite
an impression on some people in our Stealey neighborhood. I would have been 10
years old at the time. Josephine Haught Nerhood lived across the street from me
on the corner of Alexander Ave. and Musgrave St. She would have been 13 years
old at the time. We both had a horrible crush on Goran and cried when he left.
We would walk up and down the alley behind the Andre house on Milford Street
hoping to get a glance of him. He did stop by my house several years later when
he was back visiting. I have thought of him through the years. Thank you, David
Andre, for sharing the news on him. When you speak to Goran again, please give
him my blessing. I don't know if he would remember me, but I remember him and
you with happy childhood memories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

brother in DeMolay and I was a Rainbow girl. So, our family went to lots of

You ask about names of places. Well, it was always "Angle End”. I think probably the accent of West Virginians
may be the problem. I never knew I had a "southern" accent until one
time I was speaking to my family in Vermont and they said, “I never knew you
had a southern accent" and that surprised me too. But they had lived in
Vermont for 25 years at that time and had become accustomed to that Vermont
speech. Anyway, I want to add “proud" to the list of word or phrases you
hear down here. When I lived in Tennessee they had their way of saying things too.
And one of them was "proud". Like Minnie Pearl of Grand Ole Opry would
say: "I'm jest so proud to be hyar".When my son came home from Viet
Nam one of my friends said "I'll bet you are proud to have him home"
and I guess I looked like I did not understand that so she quickly said
"you are glad he is home". To change the subject, we have 15 inches
of snow on the ground.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

"Everything Is Coming Up Dancing". Bonnie taught dance to children of

have this experience. But we love the newsletter. It is a work of art and
allows us to connect with a past that is personal to us. It would no doubt be
discouraging when you don't hear from anyone but I hope you guys hang in there
until someone else feels the inspiration.
Seems it could win awards somewhere.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">March Madness has just ended and the Major League
Baseball season has just begun, but there is another college sport grabbing
headlines across the country. College football is in the midst of spring
practice, with West Virginia's spring game scheduled for April 7. Could this be
the year the Mountaineers finally make a run at the Big 12 title?</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">The offense should be as good or better than last year,
with the return of QB Will Grier and seven other starters. I've always felt
that as the offensive line goes, so goes the team. The O-line only lost one
starter and has another year of experience, so their performance is a key
element to a successful season.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Usually, in the Big 12, if the defense can hold the
opponent to under 30 points, there is a good chance of a victory. Doing that is
no easy task. Together, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State scored 109 points on the
Mountaineers last year. Tony Gibson's crew was young in 2017, so maybe a year
of growth, both physically and mentally, will help solve some of the problems.
In our pass-happy conference, I continue to think that the best pass defense is
a strong pass rush. We haven't been able to do that recently, which is why I
don't care for the 3-3-5 stack. However, that is the defense we'll be running,
so we will have to live or die with the results.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I was one of those football players selected and participated in the E-W FB
game along with other friends of mine from Clarksburg WV. Many of us also were
selected and played in the Annual WV North-South Football Game held in
Charleston WV that same summer. I want to 'Thank you' for posting this
information in the WI Newsletter. The info, brochure, photos and players names
that were part of the 1955 E-W Football Game was a surprise to me, as over the
years I have misplaced that info. The names and photos help in 'Senior
Moments'!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

coincidentally we were discussing both games just this past week! You are
correct as to what MV stood for, and to the best of my knowledge the E-W FB
game was the 1st and last game played.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">All these 'Senior' football players from
the surrounding Clarksburg vicinity, selected for these games proved themselves
as outstanding players during the past 1954 football season; and, periodically
were identified by the local newspaper sports writers as to their
accomplishments. They were a great bunch of guys; and, I was privileged to be
among them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">See if you can dig up a similar packet for
the N-S game, summer 1955. I and others would appreciate seeing a few more
memories!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

God Bless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">We did discuss the 1955 East-West All-Star
Game a while back. I'm glad you enjoyed it. As I mentioned at the time, I
remember it mainly because my high school coach, Jim Feltz, was the coach of
one of the teams. I'm pretty sure you are correct that this game was played
only one time.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Below is a picture of the North Team from
the 1955 North-South Game played in Charleston. It is my understanding that
several Clarksburg area players are pictured. I'm sure you can recognize many
of them, but how many can our other readers name? Send your answers to

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think the school is Central Junior High School. In the middle of the
front row is Bud Collins. To his right as you look at the picture is Bob
Clausson. The first person on the left in the front row is Bob Hart. The rest
of the faces look familiar, but the names aren't coming to me. This was the
beginning of a great team at WI in the years that followed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

News Sports, "Hot Rod" is a documentary chronicling the flamboyance
of basketball great Rod Hundley, an unforgettable player and broadcaster who
used the game to achieve heights no one could imagine". The film, which
aired April 3 on AT&T Sportsnet-Pittsburgh, covers the career of one of
WVU's all-time great basketball players. Did you ever see him play at the old
Field House? Do you have any special memory you can share? Some people think he

basketball season ended in Boston in a Sweet 16 game against Villanova. Are you
satisfied with the season? The usual mark of a good and well-coached team is
continued improvement during the season. Did the Mountaineers show the progress
you expected? How do you rate the job Bob Huggins did with this group?</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Jevon Carter and Daxter Miles will be gone, the 2018-19 edition should be
interesting to watch. D'Angelo Hunter has left the team and will transfer.
Expect more movement in the roster. Four new names are expected to help fill
the holes left by the seniors, including Trey Doomes, Derek Culver, Andrew
Gordon and Jordan McCabe. If McCabe can come close to performing as well as he
has in highlight films from his High school and AAU games, we are all in for a
treat. However, it's a long way from high school to the Big 12, so we'll just
have to wait and see how it comes down.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

people: My dad was the editor of the magazine for Consolidated Natural (Hope)
Gas. With this position he would get to go interview people for articles he
wrote and my mom and I would go with him sometimes. My two most favorite trips
were actually both to Washington DC. The first interview and famous West
Virginian I met was Sam Huff. He played for WVU and then for the Washington
Redskins. We went to his lovely home for the interview and he was such a warm
and friendly person. I also remember that his living room was decorated in
almost all white with lots of pictures and trophies in it including a picture
of him with President Kennedy. He also had a beautiful Sheltie dog!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

very honored to meet was Colonel Ralph Albertazzie, presidential pilot for
President Nixon. He also at various times flew President Kennedy and President
Johnson prior to their presidencies. Besides being such a wonderful kind person
(he was from Morgantown). At the age of 13 was blessed to be given a tour of
Air Force One by Colonel Albertazzie. I had my picture made at the top of the
steps next to the Presidential Seal where the president’s pictures are made as
they arrive at their destinations (really cool). I was then invited inside and
shown around. I was taken on a tour of the president’s office. My how things
have changed. We all know that would not happen this day and time!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Jay Rockefeller. Mr. Rockefeller became president of WV Wesleyan College while

also care for their children while attending WVWC<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">You were also talking about the Band Festival. What great memories those
were, I was never in the band myself but had many friends in the band including
one of my best friends who was featured twirler and then drum major--Danny
Marsh. What was fun about the band festival was that there were so many bands
from all over the state that came to participate and all of those out of town
band members needed a place to stay while they were in Clarksburg. Families in
the area including my wonderful parents would open their homes and have one or
many out of town kids stay in their homes for the week. This was a wonderful
way to be involved and to make some lasting friendships. One girl that stayed with
us was from Hurricane, WV. We actually visited each other for weekends thru out
high school and ended up going to college together. Even after I was out of
high school I was attending WV Wesleyan College and working with a youth group
at a local Methodist Church, 4 members of my youth group were in the
Buckhannon/Upsher Band and they stayed at my home with my parents during the
band festival.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was in the band at Central
Jr and WI. Marched in many parades including the long ones in Huntington. Had
to cut finger tips out of gloves so fingers covered holes in clarinet. (Rough
in frigid weather). The picture in March issue may have been WI because of
white buck shoes and those crazy hats with yellow plumes. I don't recognize any
faces in the picture but that was probably taken on Main St. in front of the
Arcade bldg. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Bob Hart, #2? Ron Chartran, #23 Ed Westfall, #24 Bob Cloussen?sp, #28 Bob

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I can remember early morning practices in the mist or fog at Hites Field
and then climbing the steep path to Chestnut Street on our way to school. I was
a majorette and marched on the right end of the line. I can remember Mr. Mayor
telling us that our lines went from curb to curb. At the Huntington Band
Festival Parade my socks worked down into the toes of my boots and I had
terrible blisters. I was not about to quit marching because I did not want to
get yelled at by Henry Mayor. My favorite part of a parade was marching to just
the drum beat on our way down the hill from the school to the parade route. No
one made a sound except for our feet on the pavement and the soft drums.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was in the band at WI. I remember Hite Field vividly. The Worst thing,
in my mind, was a half time show on the field with low cloud, fog situation
that caused the band sound to reflect back ad make it seem “Offbeat”, and maybe
it was. Henry Mayer did not direct the band when marching on the field. Today,
bands have a director or directors leading them during half time shows, thus
avoiding variations from one side to the other.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

visible in the picture. It would have had to have been taken in 1957 or earlier
as the Arcade was destroyed by fire in 1957. I do not know what band is
marching nor do I know anybody in the picture. Aarons Shoes is clearly visible
in the front part of the Arcade. As an adult I had the pleasure of getting to
know Mr. Aaron personally. He was the next-door neighbor of my wife's family on
Mulberry Avenue in Clarksburg. He was a fine person and truly a gentleman in
every way. The Oak Hall Building with its apartments is located to the west of
the Arcade. Although not visible in the picture, Anderson's Restaurant was in
that building. It had the reputation of being one of the finest restaurants in
the state of WV. I never had the opportunity to eat there however. That is
about all that I can tell you about the picture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Main Street (don't remember the name of the upper street). I had to walk

was not performing in the manner I should have been but he let me continue to pretend
I could play the clarinet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My name is Roger Young. I grew up in Clarksburg and am
a 1972 graduate of WIHS. For many years I have known of this newsletter and
have enjoyed excerpts from my mother initially and more recently via my
siblings. I am long overdue requesting that I be included on the distribution
list. I would appreciate receiving future issues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Roleta,
you have a fantastic ministry with this newsletter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">As we
age, no doubt you see where we can tend to wonder if we are still making a
difference in the world. For sure, you are making a difference in many, many
lives. People may not respond the way you would like to see but the ability to
connect and restore memories is providing a therapy for all who read it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I'm
sorry I draw a blank when I try to think of something to contribute, probably
many others have this experience. But we love the newsletter, it is a work of
art and allows us to connect with a past that is personal to us. It would no
doubt be discouraging when you don't hear from anyone but I hope you guys hang
in there until someone else feels the inspiration. Seems it could win awards
somewhere.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
February issue was just excellent. Not only providing memories but also the
marvelous history regarding Bridgeport. Photography is so special as well.
Guess I tend to repeat myself but it still holds. "THANKS"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I believe the Methodist Church on 2<sup>nd</sup> Street
burned in 1952. I worked at Imperial Ice Cream at the time and we were working
late and we could see the fire and we stood up by Bland’s Drug Store and
watched it burn. Of course, there were no cameras handy. The large crowd at the
Carmichael, picture in January newsletter, could have been a healing service by
Katherine Kulhman as I remember taking my mother to it. I looked to see if I
could see us in the picture but didn’t find us. I know that place was jamb
packed that night and that was in the early 50’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the inside door where you would give your ticket to Mrs. Nuzum.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
picture looks like the ticket booth at the Robinson Grand theater. I loved that
place and am glad they are going to use it again. I have been watching the
progress on the outside but haven't been inside to see the renovations. As a
young girl, there was always a group of us going to the movie together. Then
after I was allowed to date, most of the time, that is where we went. (Usually
went to Sky castle or dancing until curfew after the movie,) Sometimes we went
to the Ritz, but Robinson Grand was my favorite. I went to a beauty contest
there in 1957 or 58 and then in later years, Mr. Buffington sponsored Summer
Theater there for all the Harrison Co. kids who were interested in being in
plays or the orchestra. My son starred in "Oliver", was the king in
"The King and I", he was also in "Guys and Dolls" and a
couple of others. Summer theater was such a great thing for the young people.
They had fun, were kept busy, and made friends from other schools since it was
for the county. My children loved it and were all in involved in one way or the
other. As dancers, in the band, or doing scenery. During the first few Italian
Festivals, well know entertainers performed there. Bonnie McGowan taught my
girls dancing and her recitals were held there. I have so many good memories
associated with the Robinson Grand. Also had a friend who sold the tickets out
of this booth. Those were the days!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Above
are two pictures of uniforms worn by ushers at the theater. The theater was
often so crowded that the usher would find you a seat. If you arrived a little
late to the movie, the usher used a flashlight to guide you down the aisle to
an open seat. This was big City kind of thing, wasn’t it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think it is the ticket window at the Robinson Grand
Theater. In the mid 1990's the Miss West Virginia Scholarship Pageant was held
there and I was chairman of the house committee and worked 3 nights behind that
glass. I also remember standing in line to purchase tickets to see Fidler on
the Roof with Mike Simons. Let's hope they save some of the icons of the
building in the rebuild soon to be completed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Miss WV Scholarship Pageant is the conduit for
Miss WV who represents WV at Miss America. It had been held in Harrison County
for many years. Originally by the Jay Cees, later by a board of directors run
by Al Cox for many years. It was held at Lincoln High School for several years
then moved to the Robinson Grand Theater and finally to the new Robert C Byrd High
School for 3 years when it opened. It is currently held in Monongalia County
each year sometime in June. The board was made up of local men and women
dedicated to raising scholarship money for ladies to pay tuition. The final
night of the pageant was actually televised live on WBOY with the late Mike
Simons for several years when it was in Clarksburg. It took about 50 volunteers
to produce and tech the three-night event. The Miss America Organization is the
largest source of college scholarship funding for women in the United States.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The local board attended the Miss America Pageant in
Atlantic City, NJ for nearly 10 years as well as national meetings in NY and CA
to represent WV with our winner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think it was either 1995 or 1996 that JonBenet
Ramsey along with her mother, Patsy (previous Miss WV) and father attended our
pageant at the Robinson Grand Theater. I actually held that beautiful little
girl while her mom rehearsed for her part in the show during the afternoon of
the finals night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Hope this gives you a thumb nail sketch of Miss WV and
the Robinson Grand Theater.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">As you might expect, I have a few comments on the Mountaineer
basketball season. Before the season began, I was hopefully optimistic. Although
I didn’t see a great team, I thought they would be competitive in most games.
This proved to be true. I also thought they could compete for the Big 12
championship. This proved to be a little more difficult.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">If anyone would ever stop the steak of conference
crowns won by Kansas, this was the year and WVU had the talent to be that team.
However, along the road, several things happened to derail the train and it
didn’t happen. If you watched the games, you know what those were. Blown leads,
inconsistent defense and offense, bad (or biased) officiating and losing
critical home games were just a few of the struggles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">There is nothing to be gained by rehashing broken
dreams, but I do want to point out a few “What Ifs”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">What if the “Press" had been nearly as good as
last year?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">What if the team had won every game in which they had
a double-digit lead?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">What if someone had stepped up to take the place of a
graduated Nathan Adrian on defense?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">What if Daxter Miles had been as consistent as Javon
Carter and Sags Konate?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">What if Teddy Allen had not gotten into Huggins
doghouse and had continued to score in double figures the entire season?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">And finally, what if Esa Ahmad had played to his
potential (which Huggins claims he has)?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Unfortunately, we all know that "What Ifs"
are for dreamers and not realists. The reality is that we look forward to the
Mountaineers putting together a few good games and winning the Big 12
Tournament. Then, they could do the same thing in the "Big Dance",
making a deep run and showing us and the country, what Mountaineer basketball
really looks like. Or am I dreaming again?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Does
anyone know why the Friday morning's program at WI was called
"Chapel"?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I'd
always thought that chapel was a church service. Let's remember. First period,
every Friday, or, first period most Fridays?????? Freshmen in the balcony,
sophomores, main floor right side, juniors left side, seniors in the center. At
the end of last program of the year, the seniors vacated their seats which were
then filled by the juniors. Tears flowed. We sang songs from the "Hit
Parade" and we learned from, or were entertained (or both), by the
presentations. I would love for some of you </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">to
"fill in the blanks".</span></div>

the seating arrangements were the same as when I was at WI. I like the idea of
the seniors vacating their seats, but I don’t remember that happening when I
was at WI, do you? I remember senior chapel and the Friday pep rally type of
chapel during football and basketball season. I remember as a Freshman,
somethings would be extra special and the balcony would start stomping their
feet only to be hushed very quickly by the home room teachers. Mine was Miss
Nutter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I believe the Methodist Church on 2<sup>nd</sup> Street
burned in 1952. I worked at Imperial Ice Cream at the time and we were working
late and we could see the fire and we stood up by Bland’s Drug Store and
watched it burn. Of course, there were no cameras handy. The large crowd at the
Carmichael could have been a healing service by Katherine Kulhman as I remember
taking my mother to it. I looked to see if I could see us in the picture but
didn’t find us. I know that place was jamb packed that night and that was in
the early 50’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Like all of us, I have had the opportunity to meet
famous people like Benjamin Netanyahu, Vice President Bush (yea he was Vice
President when I met him) and others. Below are a few words about some famous
people I got to work with and thus got to know.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I had the good luck to work with and get to know
several Astronauts. The two most famous are Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong. I
worked on the staff of a Presidential Commission where I worked with Buzz for
about a year. Talking about his Moon experiences just did not happen but would
always like to talk about the future; like how we should protect the earth from
asteroids, meteors, etc. Typically, the astronauts I knew never talked about
their space experiences while at work. Also, during my time working on the
Presidential Commission, I worked with and got to know Neil DeGrasse Tyson,
Director of the Hayden Planetarium</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">,</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> author of a number of books and TV personality on
NOVA (I can recommend his NOVA shows since he is a great teacher and public
speaker). When I got to know Neil Armstrong, he was the head of the NASA
Aeronautics Advisory Committee. Some of the things that struck me about Neil
was he was very smart, always a gentleman, demonstrated a sense of grace that
you don’t see in many people, would not sign autographs (people would sell them
and he did not approve or that) and he believed that each person was allotted
only so many heart beats and he did not want to waste any of his doing
something he did not want to do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I remember running into (meeting) actor Martin Sheen
at a rental car facility at Dulles Airport in Virginia several years ago. I do
not remember exactly why I was renting a car, but there he was. I asked him for
his autograph for my girlfriend at the time, and he gladly signed
"something" with her name on the paper as well. I gave it to her when
I next saw her, but I can honestly say that she was not a "collector"
of celebrity signatures and that signature was probably tossed out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

like to share an experience I had with a celebrity. Back when television had
commercials for cigars, the name of Edie Adams was very well known. She was the
spokesperson for Muriel Cigars in the 1960’s. People might remember her famous
line, “Why don’t you pick one up and smoke it sometime?” Edie was also a famous
television, screen and stage star. She had been married to the great comic,
Ernie Kovacs. She appeared on Broadway and had her own television series called
“Here’s Edie”. One of my favorite movies she stared in was “It’s a Mad, Mad,
Mad, Mad World”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In 2004
I visited a friend in Hollywood who worked for the Screen Writer’s Guild. She
asked if I would like to meet Edie Adams. I was a huge fan of Ernie Kovacs and
loved Edie I was very excited to have the opportunity to meet her in person. We
went to her house in Bely Hills. She was so gracious and welcomed me into her
lovely home. There were photographs all over her walls, signed photos of Frank
Sinatra, Groucho Marx, etc. It was jaw dropping memorabilia. She asked me to be
seated on her sofa while she got us drinks Here was this little farm girl from
Lost Creek, West Virginia on Edie Adams’ couch! On one end was an Emmy Award
and on the other end a Tony Award. Well, I felt like I was in a dream. Later we
went into her kitchen and sat around the table eating ice cream She told
stories about working with such stars as Steve McQueen, Henry Fonda and others.
Edie was wonderful and made me feel so at home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I
invited her to be a special guest at the Buster Keaton Celebration in Kansas
the upcoming September and she agreed to attend. I was on the committee for the
event, so we centered our Celebration on Edie and her deceased husband, Ernie
Kovacs. Ernie had worked with Buster Keaton on a television show and Edie
worked with him in the “Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” movie. She was honored to get
the award we presented her an was such a delight. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Her
great beauty was not at all like it once had been. But, her love for show
business never diminished over the years. As soon as a camera was on or am
audience was around she was in the star mode<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was
honored to have met her. We kept in touch until the time she passed away in
2008.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

will never forget. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

invited us to his lecture to her class. We entered the elevator with two other
occupants. After all said Good Morning the man next to Cappy asked ‘Where in

delight in London that last someone who knows there is a West V. We enjoyed a
fine conversation until he was called for his lecture and then continued after
when Cappy took the photograph. An interesting pleasant man.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">It was
billed as the Valentine Chocolate Festival and was to be held on February 10 at
the American Museum of Glass on Main Street in Weston. So, this writer figured
it would be an interesting winter break and also make a nice Valentine
observance for his wife.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-hyphenate: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-other; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
festival lived up to its billing and delivered unlimited chocolate treats in
every possible concoction imaginable. But it also exposed us to an even greater
West Virginia and American treasure—a rich and vibrant remembrance of the great
era of glass making in this country focusing on the years from 1800 to the
present. Weston was an important manufacturing center of hand-blown crystal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Many
Washington Irving grads, along with additional thousands from the Clarksburg
area's other schools are a part of this heritage. Those who were glass workers,
and those whose fathers, mothers, and relatives worked in this once-mighty
industry are urged to visit this large museum collection of some 84,000
cataloged pieces of American glassware, 18,000 pieces of which are on display.
There's an almost endless variety of patterns, colors, and forms...from early
glass bottles, tableware for everyday use, to the most elegant hand-cut, etched
and decorated pieces, even marbles. The Steuben Glass crystal sculpture display
in the front is especially an example of glassblowing expression in highest
form. All of the records of the American Flint Glassworkers Union are archived
here. Many names connected to Clarksburg are in these records.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Very
importantly, strong attention has been paid to the industry's skilled artisans
and tradesmen and the tools they used which are prominently featured. I
especially related to the mould making exhibit, as my father Enoch, WI 1929,
earned our family's livelihood from this skilled trade at the Hazel Atlas.
Another display paid tribute to the Belgians who brought their flat glass
making and glass cutting skills to West Virginia, and especially to Clarksburg.
Maybe the resourceful Tim Cork can find out just how many thousands of jobs,
many of which were union, there were in the Clarksburg area when glass making
was at its peak.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">If and
when Lewis County experiences a financial windfall from the burgeoning gas
industry boom now underway, envision this: a very handsome
architecture-designed building with lines inspired by the graceful shapes of
the most beautiful pieces of hand-blown crystal. Located on a lovely tract of
greenery with curving driveways and a large parking area—to lodge a continuous
influx of travelers drawn to it by interstate signs and billboards throughout
the area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was in my high school band for three years. During
that time, the band attended many festivals and parades. In fact, the reason I
was a band member was due to an appearance our band made at the Buckwheat
Festival in Kingwood, WV.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We had four sousaphone players in the band. These
instruments are commonly called bass horns and are quite heavy. Apparently,
while attending the festival, three of the bass players acquired some moonshine
or hard cider and got a little tipsy. When this was discovered by the band
director, they were dismissed from the band upon arriving back at the high
school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The following Monday morning I along with two of my male
classmates were recruited by the principal to be the new bass players. We were
not given a choice, we were told what our new role would be. That’s the way it
was done at our school in the late fall of 1953. The principal was the king and
you didn’t cross him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Everything went well until we were selected to compete
in the state band festival in Huntington, WV that spring. I had never marched
in a parade, any parade, let alone one carrying a heavy bass horn. Then, we
were told that the parade would be about a 5-mile march. I knew that I was in
trouble. Although I was tall enough, I probably weighed about 145 lbs. soaking
wet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I don’t know if the parade route was five miles long
or not, but it felt like 20 miles while I was marching with that horn. I made
it, but not by much. The next morning, I was so sore in my groin area that I
could barely walk. My fellow bass players never complained, nor did I, but I
could tell they were definitely feeling the pain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We all marched in dozens of parades after that,
including some long ones, but I never had a problem again. Overall, I had a
great time as a band member and have fond memories of the good times we had and
friends I made during those years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">From: Mary Sue Clark Spahr (WI 1956)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Though I didn't date much in junior high or high
school, I did date enough to learn the rules. First, a girl never, never, never
called a boy if she was interested in him. It was, in my world, the job of the
boys to do the phoning and asking for dates. Well, heck, what if the boy you
liked didn't even know you were on this planet (or that's the way he acted?)
There were little things a girl could do. She could dress nicely, smile a lot
and try to put herself into his line of vision. If he had the same study hall
she had and often went to the library, she might go to the library more
frequently. I don't know how much reading would get done, but a little would be
better than none. She might also join some of the clubs to which he belonged.
Additionally, if she had a close friend who knew the guy, she could share that
she had a "crush" on someone in the hope the friend would suggest
that the girl was available and was very nice. If an organization to which the
girl belonged had a "Sadie Hawkins" dance, that would be the perfect
time to invite the guy. Oh my, oh my, I can still remember having palpitations
and tachycardia as I tried to dial his phone number. I feared he'd hang up when
I told him who I was. I feared he'd turn me down. Mostly, I think I just feared
trying to talk to him and tell him the reason for the call. I only remember
ever calling two boys and both of them said yes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I don't know how kids of today manage the dating game,
but I'm sure the rules have relaxed quite a lot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Do any of you ladies remember the same things
remember? Did you ever call boys? Did you ever have a friend arrange a blind
date? Are you happy that girls now experience more freedom than they did in the
1950’s?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">There was a foreign exchange student in the WI, class
of 1961. I am not sure but I think he may have been from Germany? Rick Wilson
may know more about Udo, as I think that Udo may have lived with Rick's family
back in 1961. Udo is in the picture of the 1961 track team that was in last
month's WI newsletter. It would be interesting to know who went to the country
that Udo was from, as our exchange student?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I had the displeasure of trying to track down Udo a
few years ago, as I am the "record keeper" for our class. I somehow
got in touch with his sister and found out that Udo had passed away. SAD.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Udo Thiem, was a West German exchange student in the
WI class of 1961. Udo’s host family, the Roses, lived on the corner of Carr and
Elm St. in Clarksburg, down near Elk creek. John Rose, potentially WI class of
1962 was a reciprocal (I believe Rotary Exchange) student sent to Germany for
the same school year, 1960/61. John’s older sister is as you might know Jane
Rose. I don’t have handy her married name.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Rudolph (Udo) was from Hanover-Kleefeld, an urban
community in greater Hanover.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

correspondence. His mother has probably passed away but his sister may live
there now. Udo’s father was killed on the Eastern Front in WWII when Udo was an
infant. His mother was an architect, a widow, and raised the children in pretty
tough, post WWII times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Udo was one of my best friends my senior year of 1961
when he was here. He mentioned that his WI graduation credentials from 1961
would not count when he returned to Germany to attend a delayed last year at a
rigorous Gymnasium. Udo’s chosen field in School and later in college was
ancient and modern languages. He wanted to become an archivist or related
vocation at a library or similar institution in his future. He was already well
versed in Latin and spoke standard English with a slight British accent as well
or better than most of us. Udo also took fencing (epee and all) back in Germany
and practiced leaps, jumps, thrusts and all kinds of stuff related for
exercise. We were impressed. My mother came from her bedroom once into the
living room wanting to know, “who’s doing all that stomping?” Udo graduated
from the University of Tubingen and did find work in his chosen field.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">When here, he taught me some elementary German; you
know, the kind of stuff that sailors talk about in foreign ports.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">When Udo first arrived in the States, Linda Matthews,
now Largay and also WI 1961, suggested we befriend Udo and introduce him
around. We all hung out together pretty much the rest of that school year and
we were together for other activities such as the Moose dances locally. I
remember also Udo was with us on the New York City Christmas trip sponsored by
Ms. Pat Dodd in late 1960. Ms. Dodd was well acquainted with the owner of Jack
Silverman’s International Restaurant in NY, a night club where we had a
wonderful dinner after seeing all the sights, Statue of Liberty, Empire State
Bldg., and the Rockette’s Radio City Music Hall Christmas show. All of us
stated we were 18, so we could imbibe freely in NY City in those days. Big
stuff! Udo and I ate at least two meals in NYC that trip at “Louie’s” a block
or two right off of Times Square because the food was great and the $2.00 dinner
cost only twice one in Clarksburg.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think someone has already mentioned Silverman’s
night club before in one of your letters and sent in the group picture. I also
still have my original in a folder. My, -what memories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Udo once walked about five or six miles from town
south on US 19 to go sled riding with us in his street shoes through a heavy
snow. Showed up, sat by the fire and told us, “how quick the walk was.” So,
even more impressive since he didn’t know the old street-car tracks shortcut.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I could go on and on with Udo stories; I’m sure many
will remember their own. Udo simply defined a “Gentleman and a Scholar.” I did
see Udo later in life, around 1979 or so when he returned with a friend to the
States and visited me in Tamarack, Pa. in the northern mountains where my
family and I then lived in a Consolidated Gas (CNG) company house. They spent
the night, toured the underground natural gas facilities and large compressor
station there, then returning to Buffalo, NY where his friend lived. He had
applied to emigrate to the US but never received approval beyond temporary
visas. I’d lost track of Udo after that but did also exchange emails with his
sister Frauke shortly after Udo’s death several years ago after John Teter
tracked down the particulars.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In the February 2018 edition of the WI Newsletter you
asked about exchange students. In 1956, my freshman year at WI, my family
hosted an American Field Service exchange student who lived with us and
attended WI. His name was Goran Boethius and he was from Gothenburg Sweden.
Goran (pronounced ‘your On’) joined our family at our summer house in Chautauqua,
NY in late August. Then he came home to Clarksburg where we lived on Milford
Street in Stealey. Because he had actually already graduated from the Swedish equivalent
of high school and was primarily here to improve his English and learn about
the United States, he took a modified curriculum. He stayed with us until June
of 1957 when he joined other AFS exchange students for a bus tour of the United
States before returning to Sweden.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Since then he has been back to US many times. His
parents and his two brothers and sister have all visited here many times. In fact,
his sister went to the University of Wisconsin where she met and married a
fellow student and lives in Madison.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Goran became a doctor, in fact an internationally renowned
pulmonologist who has lectured at medical conventions in the US, Europe and
Asia. He is married and has two children. He is now retired and lives in a
small community on the west coast of Sweden. I visited him the summer of 2016
and stayed in the guest house Goran built himself next to his main house. He
and his wife Brigitta are typical Swedes, starting their mornings with a swim
in the cold ocean waters a short walk from their house.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">First, let me tell you
how much I enjoy the newsletter. It brings back wonderful memories every month
that I have all but forgotten! My name is Sandra (Fox) Smith known to all as
Sandi. I would have graduated with the WI class of 1966, but my family moved to
Maryland in October of 1965. I graduated from Glen Burnie Senior High School.
Boy, what a change that was! There were 675 in my graduating class, and
graduation was held on two consecutive days. I graduated on the first day and
was on a Greyhound bus the next day headed back to Clarksburg! You see, I had
left someone behind when I moved...my high school sweetheart, Larry Smith, WI
Class of 1964! Sorry, this is a long introduction to my story! Just let me say
that we celebrated our 50th Anniversary last June and its three handsome sons,
three beautiful daughters-in-law, nine outstanding grandchildren and one
adorable great-granddaughter (with two on the way) later!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Anyway....I LOVED TO
SKATE! I spent two or three evening or afternoons a week at Carmichael’s! I
started out like most kids back in the day, with the skates that half way
attached to your shoes. I say half way because I still have scars on my knees
from a skate coming off! It didn’t stop me though and finally I got REAL shoe
Skates! The Carmichaels was my home away from home, and a lot of my friends
went there too. I learned to Two-step, skate backwards, do a split and when I
got good enough I entered some of the competitions that Carmichael’s held. My
Aunts made my skirts and matching pants for my partner (Herbie Swiger). I had
lots and lots of skating outfits. Carmichael’s was always decorated for the
holidays and there was always a New Year’s Eve party! They stayed open until
after midnight! I still remember the tiny little bathroom that you could hardly
get in and out of. I would decorate my skates with different colored laces and
Pom-poms to match my outfit. I think it was 50 cents to skate for three hours
(remember movies at the Robinson Grand for 10 cents and 6 Pepsi caps?) My
skating slacked off after I started dating Larry, as he was no skater, but he
did try! After we moved to Maryland I started skating again, even took some lessons
from a professional, but the magic from the Carmichael Rink wasn’t there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">All our basketball games
were played at the armory. I used to go to the games with Jeannie Cobbs family
she was also class of 1966. Her brother was in the band (David Cobb). He was a
year or two older. I didn’t start dating my husband until the end of my
sophomore year and then he went to Fairmont State so he wasn’t very interested
in high school sports.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">After Carmichael’s was
opened as a skating rink I don’t think they used it for anything else. It was
open on Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and evening and on Sunday afternoon
for adults only I think. None of my kids went to WI, but they all graduated
from the high school I worked at. I was there for all the grandkids but two, the
youngest two. I retired after 37 yrs. I missed it, so now I sub. Megan, my
youngest granddaughter started high school this year and I subbed for her
Algebra teacher the first week of school! So, I had her too!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">It was interesting reading from John Teter (WI 1961) of places he had
roller skated back in the day, I have never heard of those places. When I was
young, we only had Skate World in Bridgeport. I owned my own pair of roller
skates (pure white) and would practice at my childhood home in Adamston on 22nd
Street. On any given day, you would see me rolling up or down the street or in
the church lot at the bottom of the street. There was even a small spot of
sidewalk at my next-door neighbor's house that had gotten new concrete and was
so smooth to roll over. When a special occasion occurred, we would hit Skate
World. I remember having so much fun rolling around on the wood floors. We
would do reverse skating (everyone skates in one direction until they announce
reverse and then you turned and went the other way), the hoky-poky dance and
the limbo. My children haven't really taken to roller skating the way that I
had, but I am glad it was a part of my life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

thanks to Mike Snyder for his up-beat review of <i>Malice on the Mekong</i>-- a

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">His comment about the naked backside of the last monk made me get out my
magnifying glass and look at the cover again. Was that wishful thinking, Mike?
I'm told monks wear underwear just like most folks, so what looks like a nude
bum is probably dark drawers. And how come you didn't notice the male suspects
-- Philip the missionary, Burt the businessman and that lascivious Frenchman?
Hmmmmmm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

books. Your comments make the next one better. Keep the feedback coming!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I grew up in
Northview. We lived there with my grandmother on 19th Street from 1935 (the
year I was born) until 1947. Grandmother and her family had moved into the 1</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">9th Street house in 1911. My mother, the youngest of Grandma’s
children, used to walk up to West Virginia Ave, climb down a bank and ride a
steam train into Adamson to go to Victory High school in the 1920s.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I remember a tall retaining wall at the sidewalk and a dirt patch across
19th Street where we drew circles in the dust and played marbles. Our house had
a grape arbor and a rhubarb patch beside a victory garden in the backyard. On
the other side of the garden was a garage and a shed to store the coal burned
in the downstairs fireplace to heat the house. My father got up every cold
morning to build the coal fire. My siblings and I carried the coal in and the
ashes out. There were gas burners in some of the other rooms in this two-story
house. I never remember the house being cold.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My grandmother slept in one of the three bedrooms upstairs, my mother and
father in the second, and the four of us in the third. The house had one
bathroom, a laundry room, living room, dining room and sun porch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I went to Hartman Elementary school eight or nine blocks from our house,
even though we were a block and a half from the Northview Elementary and Junior
High School.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My father drove to work downtown; when any of the rest of us wanted to go
there, we took the trolley from Northview to the Trolley Barn on Fourth Street
and walked to Pike or Main.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We moved to Mulberry Avenue in 1947, and I started at Central Junior High
that year. My siblings went to Morgan grade school, Central, and WI.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I delivered the morning paper to homes on the hill above Main Street. I
walked from the Water Board to deliver papers on Washington, Lee and Horner Streets,
then down Chestnut Street to Dodge St., Dale Court and Sumner Street and then
home. To this day I hate getting up early.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">On Mulberry, I became a member of the Beech Street boys; Danny Davis,
Aaron Trub and Sam White. Sam had a World War II Open Jeep which he used to
drive everywhere. He would slide into parking places as other cars were ready
to back into them and put down the windshield and go 70 mph on the road to Lake
Floyd without wearing glasses. He put the canvas top on when he had a date, for
obvious reasons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">One day when Sam and I were driving to school on Sycamore Street and were
ready to turn left on Locust, another car came down Locust and blocked the
street. The man in the other car motioned for us to back up so he could get by.
Sam was not someone who would back up for anybody. He reached down between the
seats, pulled out the local newspaper, gave me a piece and took one himself. We
opened them up and calmly sat there with the papers in front of our faces until
the other car backed up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I had a good time at WI; I sang in the choir, belonged to some clubs, had
good friends, acted in some plays, got reasonably good grades, and, most
importantly, met Nancy Harper, my future (and present) beloved there. We have
been married for 58 years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

described living on Main Street, between the Angle-in and Chestnut Street. My
grade school? It was only a couple of blocks from Main and Sumner, at the
corner of Pike Street and Sycamore Street; Pierpont Grade School. It is gone
now, but it was a grand old building and very convenient for me and my
brothers. </span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">When I started first grade, students could cross Main Street at
Sumner Street, so it was a short two blocks walk to school. We had 6<sup>th</sup>
grade patrol boys who were crossing guards on the corners. They would hold out
the flags (one on each side of the street) to stop cars so the kids could
cross. When I got to be a Patrol Boy with my good friend Christopher Hill, the
crossing rules had changed and had to cross Main Street at Chestnut Street
where there was a stoplight. We still had the School Boy Patrol, but we also
had the added safety of a stoplight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Here is a
picture of my first-grade class at Pierpont. I give Chris Hill credit for this
picture and the names which he posted in an article in the newsletter in 2004. If
anyone can add a name, or finds a mistake, please email me. I have been trying
to figure out which picture is Willard Wheelock (WI 1960). I think Willard may
be top row between Irma and Terry, or maybe at the bottom left. Willard was
kind of a phenom in first grade because of his reading skills.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I still remember teachers gathering around
him as he read very advanced books aloud. Most of us were at the </span><u style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Jim and
Judy</u><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"> level, while Willard was reading Steinbeck novels. Sometime later,
maybe in Junior High, I entered a writing contest to compose an essay on “What
Is True Security.” I thought I had knocked it out of the park, but Willard beat
me out by fractions of a point. Boo Hoo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Most of the
first graders in the picture ended up in the WI Class of 1960. My best
childhood friend, Chris Hill, went to Pierpont, but is not in this
picture. I know he was there later,
because we were in the School Boy Patrol together, and co-produced the 1954
Pierpont Talent Show.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Because of my
January birthday, I was only 5 when I started first grade. I remember my mother
and father debating holding me out until the next year. I remember my Dad
saying, “Let him start. If he has problems with the “older” kids, we can always
take him out.” If I had waited until I was 6, I would have been one of the
oldest in my class instead of one of the youngest. It seemed like a big deal
when I was 5. Now, that six to nine-month age difference seems like minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I remember
the layout of Pierpont as being very symmetric and imposing. There were several
steps leading up to a pair of entrance doors. Then there were a few more steps
up to the first-floor level. There was a wide staircase facing the front doors.
The staircase curved to both the right and left about halfway up, continuing to
the right and left sides of the second floor. There was a massive railing
around the stairwell, and the Principal, Mrs. Whalen, stood there overlooking
our entrance into her domain. Perish the thought of talking loudly, joking, or,
God forbid, laughing after we crossed through the heavy wooden portals. Such
disruptive behavior was sure to draw a stern finger and rebuke from Mrs.
Whalen. Four classrooms at each corner of the first-floor housed grades one
through four. Grades five and six, along with the auditorium and the
Principal’s office were on the second floor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">One vivid
memory I have of a run-in with Mrs. Whalen was due to a Halloween dress-up day.
In the second or third grade, I dressed up as a pirate for Halloween. I had a
toy popgun. It had a cork attached to a string that retracted into the barrel
as you pulled the trigger, then released with a hearty “POP”. The string was
only a few inches long, so the cork posed little danger. I was happily showing
off my popgun as I walked into the building, and just as I walked through the
front door, it POPPED. I froze! I slowly raised my head, hoping that some
earlier transgressor had been captured and taken into Mrs. Whalen’s office, so
she might have missed my popping cork. No such luck. She stood there pointing
straight at me, her eyes squinting like she was trying to crush me by the force
of her stare. “David Ellis, you come here, young man, this minute! You could
shoot someone’s eye out.” Yes, I kid you not, that’s exactly what she said. If
I had jotted down that line and expanded it into a Christmas Story, I would
have been rich, twenty years ahead of the book and TV movie we watch all day
long on Christmas every year.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">But I
digress. Back to Pierpont. There was no lunchroom, no gym and no playground.
Our exercise was skipping around the basement when we took a toilet break, and
playing slide in class. (Maybe we played that only in third and fourth grade.)
We had bench seats, bolted to the floor. Not chairs like they have now in
school. To play slide, the teacher would clap her hands and say “slide.”
Everyone would then slide out of their seat and slide into the comparable seat
to the right. Those in the last seats to the right, would slide out, and then
run around to the far left, sliding into the appropriate seat in that row.
Then, we eagerly awaited the next hand clap and “slide” from the teacher. If
there were eight rows, then after eight slides, we would be back in our
assigned seats. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Most students
walked to school. Unlike today, there were grade schools all over Clarksburg,
and walking to the neighborhood grade school was the norm. Our teachers seemed
to stay year after year and I remember all six of them. First grade and second
grade were taught by Mrs. Gifford. Miss DeVito (my favorite teacher) taught
third grade. Fourth grade was Miss Weaver. Fifth grade was Miss Riley. And
then, Mrs. Whalen, the Principal, was also the sixth-grade teacher.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Remember that
building by those advertising signs on Pike Street which I mentioned earlier?
Well, it plays prominently in my memories of going to school at Pierpont.
Almost directly across Pike Street from Pierpont was a building where my
parents opened a small diner. It was called Ellis Lunch. The building is still
there and is now a bicycle shop. They sold the business around 1950 when my Dad
joined with his brothers to build the Ellis drive-in theatre on Route 50
between Clarksburg and Bridgeport. Many of you will remember that in 1950 the
road between Clarksburg and Bridgeport was pretty much just a country road
after you passed the radio station heading up the hill from Clarksburg. Except
for the Wonder Bar and the Clique club there was nothing along Route 50 until
you came to the stockyard and Millstone Restaurant (both now gone) in
Bridgeport. There was no Parkette, no motels, no Twin Oaks restaurant or Twin
Oaks housing development, just hillsides and woods. Three of my uncles and my
Dad were partners in the drive-in theater, the curb service restaurant, the
regular restaurant, and eventually, a supper club, that operated from the early
fifties until the nineteen eighties.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The January picture is of a building in Bridgeport, WV that
has housed several businesses over the years. It is located across the road
from J. Eddy Candies on Main St. The earliest business I know about was the
Millstone Inn and Restaurant Later it became Bell Studio, the Bavarian Inn, the
Gay Nineties, and the Prescription Shop. There have been more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

letters and pictures received from 2 gentlemen who have been very patient and
willing to help me. </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">This contains a lot of
history about our January Mystery Picture. I bet you have passed that building
many times and yet you have never realized the history behind it being there.
Well, read on and learn! I find this very interesting and the pictures are
amazing. NOTE: I received many more pictures from them but due to space I could
not use all of them in the newsletter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Sky Inn most likely grew out of the building of the Northwestern Virginia
Turnpike from Romney to Parkersburg around 1836. Now US route 50 but is still
referred to as the N W V Turnpike on Google search. </span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk503558004;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The building

50 in the middle of the two-railroad crossings as you go into town from the
first stop light. Once there was a cattle yard/stock pen across the street to
identify the area but it was torn down years ago and a Rite Aid sits there now
with some other stores. </span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk503558004;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>

first reference to the Blue Sky Inn came during the Civil War when the Confederate
Army led by General Jones raided Bridgeport with 1300 horse mounted troops.
They easily overran the 47t<sup>h</sup> First West Virginia dismounted Calvary
at the old stock pens. There was a large work train located just to the east
side of the stock pens on Virginia Ave. The Confederate troops went to the Sky
Blue Inn and removed 17 railroad workers, who were eating their evening meal,
including the engineer. They took the engineer to the train and made him disconnect
the engine. They took the engine down behind where the Bridgeport Fire
Department is today and placed it on the RR bridge over Simpson Creek and set
it on fire, it burned and fell into the creek. Then the rest of the train was
pushed in on top of it.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

can be seen in the 1886 Lake’s Atlas of Bridgeport. Jessie James stayed there
one night just after the Civil War. It is not known what condition it was in by
the time Abbie Johnson Steele and her husband Sam built the Millstone
Restaurant in 1933. It appears they built the Millstone Restaurant on the same
footprint as the Sky Blue Inn. Abbie Johnson was born in 1889 and was the
youngest daughter of J.C. Johnson who was educated at Bethany College. Mr.
Johnson was a Confederate spy in the Civil War.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

What was the student’s name? Where was the student from? Where did the student
live? Tell us all you remember and if you have any pictures, please share them
with us. I remember there was a male exchange student at WI who was from maybe
Germany or a Scandinavian country. It seems he was tall, blonde and wore
glasses. He was at WI perhaps sometime in the mid to late 1950’s. Am I crazy or
is this true? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I noticed in the January
2018 issue of the WI Newsletter letter, you showed a picture and asked the
question: <b>"why are the people gathered in the Carmichael in the
1950's?" </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My guess is...it was the
annual Union Carbon or Carbide Christmas party held for the employees and their
families. The company had this get together each year for a number of years
during the 1950's. The Carmichael Auditorium was probably the closest facility
that could hold this many people for the event.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I have two guesses regarding the Carmichael picture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I seem to remember that the Union Carbide Company in Anmoore had one of
their annual Christmas "parties" at the Carmichael, but I am not sure
on this being that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My other guess is that it was a church service being held at the
Carmichael during the re-construction of the Methodist Church on Pike Street
following a fire at the church. The people in the picture seem to be dressed
for a formal gathering, so this would be my best guess.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">It would be very remiss of me not to acknowledge another
awesome achievement by a fellow graduate of Monongah High School. Nick
"Brother" Saban coached the University of Alabama football team to
the National Championship on January 8 in Atlanta, GA. It was Saban's sixth
title and his fifth at Alabama. Some writers are calling him the greatest
college football coach of all time.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I'm not a football coach, but it was evident to me, and I
told my wife at halftime of the championship game, that Saban should change
quarterbacks, if he wanted to have a chance to win the game. I really didn't
think he had the guts to do it, but I was wrong and the rest is history.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">According to my count, that makes 20 national
championships for college coaches born in West Virginia. Kind of makes you
proud, doesn't it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think that is a wonderful gesture. Too often we are caught up in the
present and fail to remember the special moments of the past. I am surprised
that this was done by the Rifle Team for a football guy. Is it possible that
there is more to the story than we are being told?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

his record for total points in a game still stands. Did anyone from our area
ever score 50 points or more in a high school game? I'm sure it happened many
times, but I don't recall who might have done it----perhaps Paul Popovich, who
averaged 41.3 ppg in 1958. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

phrase local to the Clarksburg area. A few years ago, I noticed that both my
wife and her brother will say a negative phrase when meaning a positive.
Example: "Roleta went to play golf this morning. So, didn't her husband
Bill.” I thought it was just a Cleavenger thing. But now in the past couple
months on one of the Clarksburg area Facebook pages I have seen this twice
more.” Joey was a 1968 graduate of Notre Dame. So wasn't I" There you have
it. Anyone else think this sounds odd?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">A lady here in FL
pointed out to me that when I am writing that I often leave out a noun or
pronoun at the beginning of a sentence, she asked if it was a WV thing? I notice
it in letters for the newsletter. For example, the last sentence I just wrote
could easily have been, “Notice it often in letters for the newsletter.” That may
be considered a style of Speech of the Harrison County area or WV in general?
Anyone else aware that we have this style of speech? Now do any of you teachers
reading this know what I am referring to? Is it a speech pattern, speech style
of the Appalachian foothill area? Can anyone help identify these two styles?
The one Brian McIntyre wrote about and the one I wrote about? Or do you know of
another speech patterns from our area? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

separately in the VIP Room of the restaurant. Mr. Ali was very friendly and
talked to me for several minutes. Mr. Knievel was with friends and shook my
hand, but seemed bothered by it all.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">My most interesting chance meeting took place at The World
of Concrete trade show in Atlanta, GA. It was in the late 70's, when a friend
of mine, who manufactured epoxy products in Cleveland, OH, called me to ask me
to work his booth at the trade show. I agreed and flew to Atlanta for the
three-day exhibit. My friend, whose name was Jewel Sondhe, had hired two female
models from a local agency to add some glamour to his display. They were
dressed in short shorts and tight tops and were indeed a welcome sight to the
attendees. We all had our picture taken with them and after three days, I flew
back home.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Fast forward about 10 years. Mr. Sondhe called me one day
at my office and asked if I remembered working his booth in Atlanta. Of course,
I said that I did. He told me that he always kept pictures of every trade show
at which he displayed his products, in an album on a coffee table in his
office. A recent visitor was looking at the album, when he suddenly informed
Jewel that one woman in the pictures of the Atlanta show was now very famous.
Sondhe never threw away a file, so he researched and found the old contract
with the modeling agency. In it he found the names of the models. One of them
was none other than <b>Vanna White</b>.
Needless to say, I was very surprised. I had spent three days with Vanna White
and didn't even know it. How stupid is that?</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Of course, I had to tell my wife, Roleta, all about it as
soon as I got home. I actually found the old picture and sure enough, Vanna was
in it. The picture has disappeared over the years and I accused Roleta of
destroying it, but she swears that she didn't touch it. Someday, I may write to
Vanna and ask her if she remembers working a booth at the World of Concrete in
Atlanta in the late 70's. Why would she remember it, you ask? Because Jewel
Sondhe, who owned the display, was born in India and, being a Sikh, always wore
a turban. Who wouldn't remember that? If her memory is sharp, perhaps she will
send me an autographed picture, which I will definitely hide in a safe place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

meeting <b>Ian Petrella</b> (Randy Parker,

<span style="color: #404040; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Here are a few famous
people I have met over the years and how I happened to meet them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

Braves baseball game and Tom Selleck was seated directly behind me. I had to
turn and say hello and shake his hand. Got his picture that day also.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

Waikiki with his girlfriend. Living in Hawaii for two years, I happened to meet
several movie stars and get their pictures. It became a must to carry a camera
everywhere I went. No smart phones back then.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

his father and took several pictures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

one evening trying to hit some baseballs. Not doing too well, I heard a voice
say, "can I come in and give you some pointers?" It was Deion
Sanders, who was playing for the Atlanta Braves at the time. Well his pointers
improved my stance, but I still couldn't hit the 90 MPH fast ball like him. In
fact, I couldn't hit it at all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #404040; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">This was on business. The
company I worked for made air pollution control devices and the state was interested
in our product for use on several Indian reservations, where wood burning
appliances had become a serious air pollution problem.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

Bears.... I was playing golf at the Arizona Biltmore Country Club in Phoenix
while on business there. After several holes, Walter approached the tee box we
were on and asked if he could join us for this hole and then play through. He
signed my score card and I have to say, that was the biggest hand I have ever
shook. He out drove all of us with a 3 iron.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #404040; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I first met Arnold Palmer
at the Ligonier Country Club years ago when the company I worked for in
Pittsburg had a golf outing there. Little did I know 20 years later I would
spend time with him on the phone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #404040; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Years later, while
working for another company in Atlanta that manufactured air pollution control
devices, I received a call from Arnold Palmer. He had a wood burning stove with
a catalytic converter in it and was looking for a replacement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #404040; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Wow did I give him
service and in return he sent me an autographed picture and a license plate from
his dealership in Latrobe, Pa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

one year with my father and brother and while watching the time trials, I had
the good fortune of meeting Richard Petty. Simple hand shake, but still a
thrill. Really down to earth and he loved his fans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #404040; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">He was signing baseballs
in Atlanta, Ga. Since I collected autographed baseballs, I went to the signing
and got his. Shook hands and I must say, he was one nice person to talk with.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #404040; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">A couple I have met: I
remember in particular meeting <b>Loren
Green</b>, from movies and the TV show, “Bonanza”. Bill’s mother had a TV fan crush
on Loren Green. We took her and our little son to seen him at an autograph
signing. I was first in line for some odd reason. He looked up from his signing
and with a big smile, he said, “Welllll, hello there!” I was very flattered and
a bit embarrassed as it was obvious he was coming on to me. Bill still teases
me about this. I stood there and said, “This is my husband, my mother-in-law
and my son.” Loren Green blushed, the people with him smiled and I walked on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #404040; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Another time, we were in Acapulco,
Mx. We went to a night club with about 6 other people. We were seated very
close to the raised stage. I think I actually sat at times with my elbow on the
stage. <b>Ray Anthony</b> was preforming.
He tried every way possible to get me to come up on the stage and be with him
while he sang. At one time he suggested I come up and dance with him. Again, I
was embarrassed but I still get kidded about it. - handsome men. Bill and I
remember it well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #404040; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I have met several other
famous people, however; I don’t collect pictures or autographs but I did
collect compliments from 2 very nice gentlemen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

once strutted their hour upon the earthly stage and now are heard no more,

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I am sure you know that the WIN Scholarship is a way for you readers to
come together in one fellowship with a common purpose. That being to help a
young Clarksburg graduate with their first year of college educational
expenses. The check is written to the college/university of the child’s choice
and deposited in their student aid account. From this the student may draw
funds for educational purposes. Over the years we have awarded over $65,000.00.
This is our way of giving back to Clarksburg. No amount that you give is too
large or too small. I will accept a dollar or anything higher! If you give $10.00
to a child for college you really haven’t helped that child much but if you
give $10.00 to the WIN Scholarship, we put your $10.00 (or whatever amount)
with money from others and soon we have enough to give a very good scholarship
that will really help a child. With the increasing costs of college, this year
the aim is to give a $5,000.00 scholarship to one student graduating from R. C.
Byrd High School with the Class of 2018. I would love for someone to match our
check, just send me $5,000.00 and we will give <b>TWO SCHOLARSHIPS. HORRAH!<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Our one money maker for the scholarship is a yearly quilt raffle. We have
a group of ladies who make quilt squares and Sue Selby Moats kindly donates her
time to piece the pieces together and quilt if all on her long arm quilting
machine. The drawing for the winning raffle ticket number will be in May. We
used to do it earlier in the year but due to illnesses and circumstances beyond
her control, Sue asked if she can have an extension this year. But ticket sales
will end the end of APRIL. So better get your check made out and sent in today.

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"> –
graduated from Easton High, Easton, Maryland 1962</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My
childhood was spent in Clarksburg, and I have wonderful Christmas memories. An
earliest one is of Christmas Eve, standing outside of our home in Chestnut
Hills, looking up at the cold, starry, clear, night sky and searching for
Santa. Oh, how I wanted to see his sleigh and reindeer, so I stayed out as long
as I could until I got too cold and I had to go in! Before we went to bed, my
sister Elaine and I left a plate of cookies and glass of milk near our tree to
give Santa refreshment for his long trip around the world. Then we were off to
bed, hardly being able to contain our excitement. Meanwhile, Santa took bites
out of our cookies and left our presents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
next morning, we always found our stocking, and since we had no fireplace, one
of mom’s nylon hose was found pinned to the arm of a wing chair near our tree.
The stocking was stuffed with small gifts and always had an orange in the toe!
Although we were perplexed by “Santa’s” use of a nylon stocking, we always
appreciated the greater volume of things that a stretchy nylon could contain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
year in the photo is probably 1953 or 54, and I am the one with the pigtails.
Santa was careful to give Elaine and me nearly identical gifts, and that year
we both received beautiful Madame Alexander Winnie Walker dolls. We had asked
for “nurse” dolls, so Grandma Santa had capes made so that the dolls would look
like nurses, since nurses wore navy blue capes back then.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">It was
very special to have our maternal grandparents visit that year, and also very
special was the visit by one of my father’s Clarksburg friends, Sam Winerman,
of Crown Opticians, his wife Sara and boys Marty and Jerry. They stopped by to
say hello and to take our family Christmas photo. It was also fun during the
Christmas season to go to the Winerman home (across the street from WI) where
Sara would bring out her wonderful thumbprint cookies. I think of Mrs. Winerman
every time I see thumbprint cookies (the kind with the jelly in the middle!
Yum!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Can you
see the paintings on the picture window in the photo? My father bought
Christmas stencils and tempera paints and taped the stencil to the outside of
the window, facing in. Dad would then paint the drawing on the inside of the
window as it faced him, and when the stencil was removed, choirboys and an
angel appeared, visible from both inside and out. We thought that was pretty
neat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Mom was
the organist at First Methodist Church, and I sang in the “cherub” choir for
Christmas services. Since part of being a Christian is giving, church families
brought in cans of food wrapped in white tissue paper to give to the needy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Every
family has its traditions that we pass on. I went on to sing in church choirs,
and now I play French Horn in my church’s orchestra at festival times,
Christmas being my favorite. When my daughter and step-daughters were growing
up, “Santa” always used panty hose cut in half for their Christmas stockings--and
yes, he always made sure that there was an orange in the toe!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
other day I was thinking of Clarksburg downtown particularly this time of year.
Holiday time! I am a big fan of the Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel
and downtown Clarksburg could have been used as a setting for many of their
movies. There was a Christmas Parade each year as the season approached that
always had the local high school bands marching and playing a Christmas song
with the finale being the big guy himself. “SANTA” who would be sitting on his
sleigh and throwing candy canes to the crowd.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
shops were all beautifully decorated and the people were dressed in what looked
like their “Sunday Best” as they hustled from one store to the other to pick up
just the right gift. There was always a crowd and we had to weave in out among
people to reach our destination. The streets were decorated with garland and a
wreath hung on them too. Santa was on the court house plaza in his little house
and the big decorated Christmas tree was sitting near. I worked at some of
those little downtown shops while in high school. I remember one winter evening
in particular. I must have been working Friday evening at Lerner’s and was
walking down Third to catch the bus in front of the Ritz Theater to go home.
There was a light snow coming down, those big flakes that land on your coat,
stick on your eye lashes and last a while. I remember looking ahead at the
beautiful big Waldomere mansion and listening to the church bells ringing out a
Christmas song. I was so happy, it was so serene. I felt as though I was all
alone in another world. It was just me experiencing this and I will never
forget the beauty of it all. I also remember that tears came to my eyes. Now I
realize that I was experiencing something so special. It is so sad that the
young people today can never experience this. It is a memory of mine that I
will cherish forever.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In
response to Roleta’s request for articles for the Newsletter, I decided to
offer some recollections from grade school through graduation from WI in 1960.
I believe these early memories are accurate, or at least I have convinced
myself of their accuracy; perhaps because I have played them over and over in
my mind so many times. Some of you, in fact many of you, attended grade schools
and junior high, other than the ones I attended. So, you may not relate
directly to my grade school and junior high memories, but I hope they may bring
up similar memories of your grade and junior high school days. But before
talking about my grade school in Clarksburg, let me describe where I lived
before starting school. This may help you guess my grade school, and bring back
some of your memories of Clarksburg in the 1940’s and 1950’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">From
1944 (I don’t remember moving in but have been told that was the operable
moving year) until 1950 I lived on the southwest corner of Main Street and
Sumner Street. That is on the right, as you drive up Main Street, between the
Angle-In and where you start up the steeper part of Main Street near Chestnut.
Before continuing, let me explain what I call the Angle-In (see picture). That
is the point where West Pike Street separates into Main Street, heading East,
and Pike Street, coming back to the West. I grew up calling that angled
intersection the Angle-In. Googling that term, however, turned up Angle-End. </span></div>

have a picture from the 40’s, but the area is little changed from 70 plus years
ago. Our home was a duplex on the corner and the old house is still there. We
lived next door to the Caruso’s, who were very good friends of my grandparents
and parents. Gloria Caruso (WI 1958) was my older brother’s age, and her
brother Joseph (WI 1964) was a bit younger than I or my younger brother, Sam.
Their older sister married Dr. Ormando Columbo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Directly
across the street from our home, on the opposite corner of Main and Sumner,
there was a used car lot. The used car business was run by a Mr. Swiger in the
40’s and 50’s, and was later taken over by a Mr. Alexander and then Tony Moss.
(Picture is me “directing” the Sam Ellis orchestra in a parade in 1947.) Down
Main Street, next to the used car lot, there was a two story brick building
owned by my Uncles. The downstairs housed the Ellis Brothers’ Grocery for many
years, until about 1947, and the upstairs held apartments. That building was
still standing until a few years ago, but it had become pretty dilapidated like
so many old store buildings in Clarksburg and it has now been torn down. Next
to the store was the steel latticework of two large billboards that faced Pike
Street. Those billboards are still there between another store building, which
I will mention later and which is now a bicycle shop, and the building that was
White’s Drug Store. Given the area described, have you figured out my grade
school? More to come.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
only place that I can remember going to and roller skating was at the roller
skating rink in the upstairs portion of a building in Norwood/Nutterfort, close
to where RW was located. I never owned my own roller skates, but I do remember
going roller skating and renting the skates. "Ladies choice" and
"Couples only" were a couple of the "segments" that I can
remember them having. I do not remember ever going roller skating at the
Carmichael.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I also
remember going ice skating out at Maple Lake many times, but I am not sure
where I got my ice skates, as I am sure that I never actually owned a pair. I
probably borrowed the ice skates from someone; most likely Richard Underwood's
family as they had a house/cottage at Maple Lake.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The

shoes with a "skate key" locking them in place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">One of
my favorite ways to eat my ice cream is with hot fudge and peanut butter sauce
mixed together and poured over my ice cream. When attending WI, I stopped after
school at Mercer Drug Store with what seems like half of the other kids who
rode the city bus to and from school. We enjoyed this treat that cost either 10
or 15 cents. It was named a Peanut Butter Flop! Wonder who named it? I ate there
often for lunch and my favorite sandwich was a grilled cheese sandwich with
lettuce and tomato on it. Some way they knew how to grill the sandwich just
right then pull it apart and add the lettuce and the tomato and the added
vegetables stayed crisp while the cheese sandwich remained hot and the cheese
stayed gooey! I remember a lot of my friends at a dish of mashed potatoes with
some meat and gravy on them. All of this
was probably done by a man named RUFUS who never got frustrated or upset with
any of us. I will never forget him but as much as I liked his culinary skills
and his smiling face, I was too busy to get acquainted and really never even
knew his name or anything about him. Weren’t we all so involved in our own
lives then that we never thought to ask any questions? Some of us have
discussed this before in the newsletter but we can never say enough good things
about the great food served in the soda shop area of Mercer drug store on Main
Street in Clarksburg, WV. We took it all for granted <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">First of all, thank you for the mention of my WI
history in the September newsletter - the first is for Tim Cork about the
teachers. Martha Ann Norman Bailey graduated in the early sixties around the
time her mother was on the faculty. We lived on the same street and she
baby-sat for me. She is deceased. Frank Gentilozzi, also deceased, graduated
in 1952, my class. Bill Nester was my student and graduated in the
mid-eighties. Also, James Bennett attended WI but moved before graduating.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Grace Albright, Glyde Bailey, and Lillie Mae Bauer
were my favorites and Lillie Mae my true mentor and the reason I was a theatre
major at WVU. She gave her dramatic talents a workout in World History class.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Now to November. The “cottage”” is the Oral Lake club

- great place for picnics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I redeemed S & H Green Stamps at their store next
to the Nutter Fort Thorofare - bought my first Corning Ware set there – one
piece remains.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">On Friday nights, the Stealey bunch took the bus to
the Rollerdrome in Nutter Fort. The bus stop was across the street. No worries
about getting home around eleven and walking up Hall Street from Duff Avenue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Clarksburg Shopping: Oh, my goodness - anything and
everything. Most of my clothing came from The Exclusive which Friedlander’s
later bought. I had a few things from Friedlander’s, the Elaine Shoppe and
sometimes Broida’s first or second floor (my mother shopped on the third).
Lerner’s had underwear. And shoe stores were everywhere - Pettrey’s on Third
Street and Robert’s (later Aaron’s) and Wunder Shoes on Main. Melet’s and Loar
and White were popular for men’s wear - Parsons- Souders had clothing, shoes,
etc. for everyone as did Watts Sartor Lear. OJ Morrison’s was across Main
Street from them. James and Law remains in their location there. Wilbur Marr
Jewelry was on Third Street next to the Union National Bank. Roger’s was on
Main Street close to Woolworth’s, Murphy’s and McCrory’s. Then there was Wells
Haymaker Drug store with its small round tables and chairs. Next was Nussbaum’s
book store. Byard’s Drug Store was across the Street in the Goff Building.
Harbert’s was on Fourth Street, Back to Main: Orpheum Theater, Rex Heck, the
arcade with shops, Hagan’s and Selby Drug, and Anderson’s Restaurant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Fourth Street had Ormond’s for lingerie, Dudley’s
Florist, and Moore’s Opera House. On the opposite corner was Candyland.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I hope someone else writes about Pike Street - I’m
tired. With only seven years between our classes, I doubt many changes occurred
before you were trudging up Fifth Street.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In that email I sent some of you yesterday I joked about
"Bob's Doo Wop Hall of Fame". There's, of course, no BDWHOF, but over
the last several years I've written down the groups and songs that would be in
it if it existed. There actually is something called the Doo Wop Music Hall of
Fame, but they include stuff that, although great, doesn't have people in the
background singing stuff like "doo du wop, do wop" or repeating the
last couple of words just sung by the lead singer in the previous line of
lyrics, or "sha doop ba doo, be be doop da be be doop" 3 times in a
row before the first line of lyrics. Bob's Hall is exclusive, with only the few
enshrined who have imprinted their lyrics and background patter on my mind and
likely yours too. So, I've decided to share the list of my entire Hall with you
in no particular order. How many of them do you remember, and how many bring
back a memory of a specific place or event?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

great records, but they weren't Doo Wop. I encourage you to go to YouTube to
use their search box and listen to some, or all, of these. And I hope you were
singing a line or two of lyrics as you read the names of the songs that bring
back so many memories. Bob.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I’m Bob Pugh, a native of Elkins, where I graduated from high school in
1961. You'll remember that I corresponded with you after posting about The
Prodigals on your WI site. I figured you grew up in the Doo Wop era, so my
fictitious Bob's Doo Wop Hall of Fame would likely be interesting, and
familiar. As an aside, I played in an R&B band in '60 and '61 (The Shades)
with Chuckie Collins (formerly the lead singer for The Prodigals) and Terry
Shorr (he was a drummer and attended WI before moving to Elkins), along with
another Clarksburg guy (I don't think he went to WI, maybe RW), Bill Hickman,
who played sax. I also remember playing ball against two really good WI
players, Bob Secret and Gene Donaldson. Secret was also a top track guy, very
fast.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">From where I sit, it appeared that
the WVU football team did about as well as could be expected. The defense was
below average. The running game was OK, but nothing special. Will Grier
(through ten games) and his receivers (all four of them) overachieved and kept
us in most of the games. Everybody seems hyped about next year, but we had
better find a consistent run defense and a pass rush or it will be more of the
same. (Did I ever tell you that I hate the 3-3-5?) Regardless, I can't wait to
see how Will Grier does. Could WVU finally have a legitimate Heisman Trophy
candidate? Let's hope so, for as Grier goes, so go the Mountaineers.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

looked average at times, but they do what is necessary to win. 13 in a row at
this time. We'll know a lot more after the next game against Oklahoma. A big
win there and the return of Esa Ahmad could make this a very interesting team.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

already done so, do a little research on a high school player named Jordan
McCabe. He is signed up to play at WVU next year. Even my Sunday School teacher
here in Florida, who is a former player at Furman, thinks McCabe may be one of
the more exciting guards he has ever seen. A replacement for Carter? Sure hope
so.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Way back in August, sixteen of our
readers and this writer submitted their predictions (guesses) for the final
regular season record for the WVU football team. Terry Shorr and John Carney
were the most hopeful, thinking the Mountaineers would end up 10-2. I love an
optimist. No one predicted a losing record and that shows fan loyalty.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">The actual final record was 7-5. Three
people guessed correctly. One, Bud Collins, is a previous winner of our
contest. Another one, Bernie Cohen, also got it right the year Bud got the
prize, but missed out in the luck of the draw. The third person (Me) is
ineligible to win, so in all fairness, Bernie Cohen will be awarded a nice
prize for his accurate prediction. Hopefully, we can get a picture of Bernie
with his prize for the February newsletter.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The end of the college football season brought us
another controversy for the "final four" selection committee. This
time it centered on whether or not a conference champion (Ohio State) should be
included instead of a second team from another Power 5 conference (Alabama), which
did not even make their conference championship game. When Alabama secured the
fourth spot, it left both the Big 10 and the Pac 12 out of the playoffs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the 50's a lot of us were riveted to television, many of us remember one woman
who was on many talk and news shows, Mrs. Cindy Adams. I am sure that name is
familiar to you. Decades later, at 87, Cindy Adams is still active with a
syndicated column in the New York POST, aptly called “<em>Cindy Adams</em>.” Last year, I was
touted twice by Mrs. Adams for my new novel “<em><b>Seventy-Six Trombones, Life after Thirty-Nine Made Easy</b></em>”
(as well as that newspapers gossip maven Richard Johnson). My third outing
garnered six five-star reviews and only has been out for three months. I
include my home state of West Virginia in most of my books.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I want to thank you for your continued dedication to

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The “GUESS WHO” picture is none other than my lifelong
friend William Wirt Wolfe. I had to magnify his face to get a positive
recognition but could not mistake those eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Wirt is standing at the Sinks of Gandy carrying a US
Springfield Mod 1873 Cal 45-70 and is authentically dressed as one of Teddy
Roosevelt’s Rough Riders. I cannot recognize the pistol but the holster is
correct for the period. The knife looks to be a Puma sheath knife.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Wirt and I spent much of our High School days hunting
and fishing and tromping throughout Harrison County. I look back on those days

visit Wirt and his family, a few years back, at their home. Wirt gave us a
grand tour of the area which included his historic home. I really enjoyed the
visit and getting to know his wonderful family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">From: Mike Snyder (WI 1957)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Sinks of Gandy has always inspired curiosity and
mystery since earliest times—Indians, rebels and rustlers, moonshiners and
murderers, some fact, some fiction. This privately owned ¾ mile long cave
through which Gandy Fork flows is located near Osceola, which is located near
nowhere, deep in the mountains of Randolph County.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">This past October, the two surviving members of the
Elmo Lincoln Brigade resolved to hold a rendezvous at the Sinks. Wirt Wolfe, (WI
'59), was pictured in the December issue of the Newsletter, standing at the
entrance to the Sinks, replete in full Spanish-American War regalia, down to
the Trapdoor Springfield .45-70 rifle. Why? Well, why not, Wirt opined, seeing
as how he missed out on the Battle of San Juan Hill, being born some 40 years
after that legendary event. And the Sinks could always accommodate another
strange and curious visitor. (My grandfather Hay fought with a rifle just like
this one in the same war in the Philippines.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Nearby Yokum Knob overlooks the ridge under which the
cave is located. This knob is named
after Wirt's mother's family which grazed cattle there in the early 1900's. The
swallows had already left the mouth of the cave when we re-visited the Sinks. A
previous trip there had rewarded us with an up-close encounter with a bald
eagle. But on this bright fall day, we had no desire to traverse the cave and
its waterway into the pitch-black darkness beyond. Many do make the trek,
however, including our son in his teenage years. Good lights, a sunny day, and
yen for adventure will see one safely through to the rocky exit on the other
side of the ridge. Warning: never try it on a rainy day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Readers can learn more about the Sinks online, and be
sure to look up David Hunter Strother who wrote and sketched in the Civil War
era under the pen name Porte Crayon and gave the outside world a glimpse of the
Sinks in <i>Harper's Monthly Magazine. </i>As for the Elmo Lincoln Brigade--“We
few, we happy few, we band of brothers” -- it best remains shrouded in the
mists of the past. Back home, safe and sound, we brothers enjoyed a delicious
repast by Chef Jill of squirrel gravy and biscuits, followed by pineapple cream
pie topping off our mini-adventure which took place on the writer's 78<sup>th</sup>
birthday,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We also noted this interesting poster of the dog and
caption attached to a fence post below Yokum Knob. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I enjoyed seeing the Dec WI
Newsletter. I grew up with the Wilson children shown in one of the photos. Tom
and I went thru classes at Morgan School, JR High School and WI and graduated
in 1946. The picture of the man in front of a cave is holding an 1874 single
shot Springfield 45-70 trapdoor action rifle, the same type Gen Custer had in
his last battle with the Indians. I have the same rifle but have never shot it.
I did shoot the same type at Salem College at a nearby rock quarry in the
1940's. This week my son, Frank, and I visited the Army War College in
Carlisle, PA and the museum to see a collection of military weapons. It
included this rifle. We later went to the Gettysburg, PA. museum. Both of these
are very interesting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

always had a Friday night football game for more than Fifty years. South
Chestnut street is to the left portion of the photograph. Sutter Roofing and
various business interests can be seen on the right foreground. West Fork River
and the Hartland section can be seen in the center at the top of the photo.
This was a “one time” field with lots of different schools playing there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The December mystery picture is Hite Field or WI High
School football field. There is the parking lot with many cars. The WI Mothers
Club concession stand is not there, but Victory and RW’s Mothers concession
stands are still there. The fence does not cover all of the stadium. Kelly
Miller’s practice field, which was also used by Central Junior High School, is
above the parking area. The Kelly Miller dressing house which was outside of
the stadium is not there. The WI dressing room is not in the picture either.
Over by the railroad are a couple of marbles companies. One year as I was
coming out of the dressing room door, I saw Mr. Grudekunst marking the fields
for whoever ran the chalk lines. WI, Victory, RW, St. Mary’s Kelly Miller,
Central Junior High and WI Junior Varsity all played on the field, which is why
there was very little grass left by November.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
aerial photo is of Hite Stadium looking southwest. In the photograph, the house
cut in half just showing a triangle next to South Chestnut Street as it goes
out of the picture going north was my family home. The next house south was the
McKinley family home. The last living McKinley was Clarence in the WI class of
1950. The father, Carl McKinley, drove a city bus and had cows in the field
below South Chestnut Street to the right (west) in the photo. The picture may
have been taken by J. Frank Wiseman who had one of the first if not the first
pilot's license in the state of WV. Frank and Eleanor Wiseman had two girls,
Mary Wiseman Wetzel, (WI 1959), and Eleanor Frances "Frankie" Wiseman
Hatfield, (WI 1962).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">There
is an unpaved street called Dane Street which goes from Chestnut down to the
marble factory. That was part of the short cut path down over the hill, then
through a gate and cow pasture to get to the stadium.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Coach
Bill Moore grew up in the house on the southwest corner of Chestnut and Dane.
His father's name was Calvin Moore. Bill had an older brother named Jack who
was an FBI agent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In
1929, my uncle Manfred Spangler who was living just north of my home lost his
job. He and my aunt Lena Kuhl Spangler, (WI 1919), and their three sons: Burt
born in 1920 (WI 1938), Bob born in 1922 (WI 1939) and Mirth born in 1924 (WI 1942)
all moved into the Moore's basement. I think the Moore's also had three boys.
That would have made a house full with 10 people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Before
1926, the WI football team practiced at Norwood Park and traveled there on the
street car. I remember some story about football players riding the street car
and getting it all muddy because they did not have any place to change into
clean cloths.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My
grandfather, Robert Floyd Kuhl who died in 1925, brought his family from
Fairmont to Clarksburg about 1912 working for the traction company (street
car). By 1918, his draft registration said that he was the assistant city
treasurer. Margaret Heflin Bailey, (WI 1962) and former Clarksburg mayor said
that they had no records going back to that era.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Chestnut
St. was closed to through traffic because of a slide at Dane and Chestnut. That
area is so steep and the roads are so narrow that it is only fit for mountain
goats. I edged past the road closed signs to get close to the slide. The detour
around it routes traffic past RCB High School and through Broad Oaks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I know the mystery picture is that of WI Field. I
don't know when the name was changed to Hite Field but it was appropriately
named for Clay B. Hite. Every day after school during football season, we would
walk down Lee St to Chestnut St., then a little way on Chestnut St. till we
came to a path next to the home of one of our class mates, Nancy Graham. That
path led us down to WI field. The club house or dressing rooms, as we may have
called the building back then, was a block building with two sections. One area
was for the home team and the other for the visiting team. I don't ever
remember going into the visitor’s area. Our area had lockers along the walls
with wooden benches in front for us to dress. Our showers, as I remember, were
block walls, concrete floor, and I think the shower piping was on the face of the
wall and not within the walls. The restroom, I won't go into that, but they
were not that private. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">That building was a good place to sit and talk to
your buddy about football practice. The first 10 or 15 mins. after practices we
drank water. Coach Folio would not allow us to have any water on the field no
matter how hot during practices. We could have water during games. A little of
the subject but:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I don't remember any of us missing practices due to
colds or any sicknesses. But during our games our drinking water was in a
galvanized bucket with a dipper. We would put the dipper in the water and drink
what we wanted and when we finished we would throw the rest on the ground. Some
probably just put the remainder back in the bucket. Did we get sick or colds
from that?? Don't think so. Also, since I'm off track of the mystery
picture... Mentioning Lee St above, made me think of a T-shirt I had back
then that read "WI LeeStreeters". I guess we were LeeStreeters before
Hilltoppers.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The other field beside WI Field was Kelly Miller's
field. We practiced on that field once in a while. I don't know why unless the
main field was being striped for a Thurs evening game.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">After practice was over, we showered, dressed, and
headed home. We walked up the path to Chestnut St., down to Lee or sometimes
Washington Ave., on down to Water St (Broad Oaks guys), cross swinging bridge
to Broad Oaks. Then sometimes we had evening "Chalk Talk" back at the
school. We thought it was a long way but the truth to be known, I doubt if the
whole thing totaled 5 miles. Would I do it again?? HECK YES!</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
December Mystery Picture is Hite Field, off of South Chestnut Street. The field
was named for Clay Hite, the well-known football coach, and later Dean of Boys
and Athletic Director at WI. He was still at WI when I started in 1956, but
passed away in 1958. (Read a very nice article about him by his daughter, Emma
Lee, (WI 1960), in the Newsletter, Issue 48, 2003.) I spent my four years at WI
in the band, so I remember the separate set of bleachers which you can see as
white squares behind the end zone on the right side of the picture. That is
where the band sat during the game. Behind the other end zone, between the
parking lot and the field, you can see a small building that was the concession
stand. The area to the left of the parking lot is the practice field. The band
used that area for practice early in the morning, with Henry Mayer, barking out
his marching orders for the precision marching we would perform at half-time.
Even though the band practice did not start until around 8:30 in the morning,
we looked forward to getting there early to take part in the sand-lot football
game that always took place before practice. The street two blocks from the
parking lot in the upper left corner of the picture is where the band would
form up on Friday nights, before the game. We would then march in formation to
the field, form up under the left goal posts and march, playing “Our Boys Will
Shine Tonight” across the field to our seats. Great fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="color: #c00000; font-size: 22pt;">TWO
GOOD BOOKS</span></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">REVIEWED BY MIKE SNYDER (WI 1957)</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">First, there's <i>NO TIME TO FEAR</i>, the memoir of
Bernard Berry of Clarksburg, which was also written about in the Newsletter
this summer. This book delivers in spades, a true WWII war epic about the
intrepid 24-year-old U.S. bomber pilot who was shot down in Northern Italy in
December, 1944. He becomes attached to the British Special Forces and leads
Italian partisans in numerous successful missions against the Germans by
disrupting their trains and motor transports with explosives, machine guns,
rifles and grenades in the Brenner Pass in the deep snows and bitter cold
during the last months of the war. His fascinating and action filled accounts
of fighting and surviving on wine, cheese and bread, skis, bullets and bravery,
bring to life the undaunted courage of Lt. Berry and his Italians. All WW II
buffs will really enjoy this gripping action by a true hero from our hometown.
I ordered the book through our local library and it was sent up from the
Clarksburg library with a hand-written inscription on the title page by Bernard
Berry, himself, who has since passed away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">And there's <i>MALICE ON THE MEKONG</i> by WI grad,
Nancy Swing, (WI 1961), who spent 40 years in foreign service in a host of
third world countries. This is a ladies' murder mystery set in the stark and
exotic country of Laos. The main character, a 50-year-old Indian woman and the
rest of the ex-patriot women in this all-female cast (with one wimpy male
Canadian diplomat) are brought to life by Swing. In first hand detail she
describes how these foreign nationals live a sophisticated life style amongst the
polite, self-effacing Laotians who can show their darker side and “black
hearts.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">When the
leader of this group of wives, whose husbands are away on projects, shows up
dead in the Mekong River, our Indian gal sets out to find out “who done it.” I
enjoy reading about foreign locales, in which Swing, who has lived there,
describes so well. Her well-developed characterizations and their personal
agendas leaves the reader wondering which one of these interesting women could
have killed the victim who wanted to control the lives of all those around her.
Nancy Swing's excellent writing deserves the five-star rating this book earned.
(The colorful cover on the book shows a group of orange-clad Buddhist monks
strolling towards a temple. All is peaceful and serene, but a closer look
reveals the monk in the back has half his fanny subtly protruding out of his
robe. Curious, Nancy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Has our
manner of speaking been white washed to the point that it is getting harder and
harder to pick out the certain sayings or ways of speaking in certain areas? My
grandparents had words or expressions that they used commonly but I seldom hear
those things being spoken today. I know what most of these things mean and I
probably used many of them when growing up. I am sure I learned them from my
grandmother who lived with us for 7 years. I love dialects, colloquialisms and
manners of speech as it really tells us where a person is from. This little
booklet that Ralph sent to me is a step for me back into the past. If you stop

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was saddened to hear of the resent passing of Bobby
Secret, undoubtedly one of the finest athletes ever to call Clarksburg home.
Having grown up in Marion County, my only knowledge of Bobby's exploits was
what I read in the local papers or was told by my future wife and her friends
during our dating years in the late 50's. We left the area in 1961 and I lost
contact with the local sports scene for several years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">About 10 years ago, while attending an early W I
Summer Picnic, I met Bobby for the first time. We became instant friends. Not
the kind of friends who grew up together or who see each other often, but
friends nevertheless. We had one very big mutual interest---SPORTS-- WVU
sports, in particular. Mix in a little politics and you know that he was my
kind of guy. He loved his God, his family, his country, his local area and, of
course his Mountaineers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Since I never saw him play any sport, I won't be able
to remember his amazing ability like many of you can. But I can and will
remember one thing about Bobby. He was the ultimate fan. Regardless of how bad
the Mountaineers were playing or how big of an underdog they might be in an
upcoming contest, Bobby would pick them to win. That, my friends, is the
ultimate fan. His loyalty was legendary, not just in sports, but in life. I am
told that he had more friends than one could imagine. Everyone loved Bobby and
so did I. I'll see you in the post-game, my friend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">He was

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In

Lehosit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Bobby
was a stranger to no one. He was a light and inspiration to everyone he met.
When Bobby was diagnosed with cancer 10 years ago, he used this as an
opportunity to bring encouragement and hope to those struggling with this
disease. He was given two months to live and here we are 10 years later celebrating
the life of this amazing fighter. Although his body was weak, his faith was
strong and with this strength he found peace and the grace to minister to
others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Bobby
wore many hats. He was an athlete, a beloved coach, an amazing math teacher and
mentored many young lives throughout the years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Bob
Secret was a four-sport superstar at Washington Irving High School. He excelled
at football, basketball, track and field, and baseball (American Legion). He
was one of three outstanding athletes in WV Class AAA named All-American both
in football and basketball. Bobby was runner up to Jerry West for the WV
Amateur athlete of the year award and received a trophy for Morgantown
Touchdown Club (known now as the Kennedy Award). Bobby went to Notre Dame
University as a football recruit and finished his career at Salem College with
a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and a master’s degree at WVU.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">His
love for sports flourished into a lifetime of coaching. He was an assistant
coach at Victory High School for a few years in the 1960s. He also coached
American Legion Post 13 with his brother Pat for many years. In 1992, they won
the state tournament and went on to the Mid-Atlantic regionals in New York. He
coached against his uncle Timbuck Shields and cousin Jimmy Salentro. This was a
sight to see.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Not
only did he share his knowledge on the field, court, diamond, golf course and
pool, but he shaped lives by teaching. He was a numbers man. He worked in
Harrison County, as well as spending many years teaching at the Salem Correctional
Center for the Youth, where he helped troubled kids feel like they could be
someone. He taught life lessons, as well as math. He helped kids get their GEDs
and do something positive with their life. He tutored many students at his home
and encouraged everyone he met. Bobby was named Teacher of the Year several
times throughout his career.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Bobby
was always building relationships, but the most important relationship to him
was the one with Jesus Christ. He was a member of the Immaculate Conception Men’s
Group and Tuesday morning prayer group.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">To be
Bobby’s friend was something, but to be his family was everything. His love for
his parents and siblings was unwavering. Everyone knew his tremendous love for
his girls, that he was so proud of. You could see the love in his eyes every
time he smiled at them, and when they finally gave him grandchildren his heart
overflowed. They kept him busy. Oh, how he loved to play with them and tell
them stories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">No love
could ever compare to the love he had for his wife, who was the love of his
life. He always said, “She saved my life.” He was home with his love when Jesus
called him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">It was Christmas Eve 1972, and I was station
at NATO Site 111, a nuclear weapons maintenance and storage installation,
located in a secluded German country side. During WWII, Munster Kaserne was a well-hidden
German ammunition facility. It was not found by the allies until after the war.
We lived in the original barracks and utilized some of the same work
structures. There were only about 250 of us, which included a MP detachment and
two infantry platoons which provide security. Part of their function was
manning the four guard towers and foot patrol the munition area perimeter. They
said it was mostly mind-numbing duty, watching the trees grow and giving names
to all the furry forest animals. There is a face book page for those that
served in the 545<sup>th</sup> Special Weapons Ordnance Company and the 9<sup>th</sup>
MP Security Detachment. Therefore, I have been able to reconnect and share
memories with some of my long-lost army buddies. I posted the following to that
site, and would like to share it with you:</span><span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The picture is from Christmas 1972. Two of the
guys in my barracks provided the tree for us to decorate. They didn’t say where
the tree came from and we didn’t want to know. The local Germans were very
protective of their forest and you can see that this is not a store-bought
tree. We had exchanged names for gift giving and tried to make Christmas as
normal and joyful as we could. My Aunt Hope’s famous rum balls helped to foster
the festive spirit. In my 35 years and nine months with the Army, this was the
only Christmas that I had spent away from home. Most of my service was civilian
with the Army Corps of Engineers.</span><span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">During this time of the year, I think of those
who had guard duty that Christmas Eve night, alone and cold in the old wooden
towers or trudging through the moonlit snow, while the rest of us were back in
the barracks, warm and comfortably numb. I sincerely salute them for being
there; and to all service men and women that are away from their love ones and
performing their duty to keep us safe, especially during Christmas. It has been
my Christmas Eve night tradition to raise my glass in remembrance and honor to
my military brothers and sisters. I will pray, “Lord, hold our troops in your
loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families
for the selfless acts they perform for us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I remember shopping on Main Street the week before
Christmas at one of the five and dime stores. I believe it was Murphy’s. I
loved the wood floors and I seemed to know even as a child, that they were
ephemeral and would be replaced one day. I made sure to stomp my feet rid of
snow before I entered the store. I could hear Gene Autry singing “Frosty the
Snowman” as I headed down to the bottom level pet section to look for the
lovely pastel-colored parakeets. I thought, “Surely Mommy would love another
bird for Christmas.” They were always flying away and I was continually
replacing them; funny that. I stopped by a counter with dolls on display and
there it was; the most beautiful doll I’d ever seen. It was a ballerina with
long pink hair. She was perpetually on-pointe in her pink toe shoes and was
dressed in pink tights and pink tulle tutu. I made a mental note to write to
Santa when I got home and tell him about her. I can’t ever remember wanting
anything so much for Christmas in my entire life.</span><span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">The smell of the lunch counter was tugging on my
coat sleeve. I climbed onto one of the stools and ordered a ham salad sandwich
and a cherry chocolate coke. I remembered to say, “Please, may I have.” I felt
euphoric. Ham salad! There was nothing so delicious in the world. I’ve traveled
all over the world since then and nothing ever tasted as good to me as that
sandwich on that day. It was one day, one ordinary day in my life that I’ll
always remember; shopping at Christmas time on Main Street. By the way, Santa
Claus brought the ballerina doll and laid her under our matching pink flocked
Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. </span><span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

while sitting in a shopping cart (4 years old?) at Kroger on Main Street, I
leaned out and grabbed a handful of pennies from the cashier’s drawer next to
me. I was made to put them back, told I was stealing and that the police would
get me if I did that again. After that traumatized me, when I was about 5, our
family was window shopping and left me at the inner windows of a store. They
went on to the next store, and since I could not see them, I panicked and cried.
After what seemed like an eternity, they came back for me, but this was not a
good feeling for a child. Nevertheless,
there were a lot of good times shopping.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">One was when I think
I was about 7, and at one of the 5 and 10’s on Main Street, I saw a display of
small dolls and begged my mother to buy me one.
I wanted a brunette, about 5 inches tall and dressed as a ballerina in a
shiny bright red tutu. Although it cost only a dollar, my mother told me I
could not have it. It was so beautiful, so I begged and begged and she finally
relented! This type of doll was a “Nancy Ann Storybook Doll” which was made for
collecting and not for playing with. Although I asked, I was not taken into
that store again, and never was able to buy another Nancy Ann doll. But this is
not the end of the story.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The advent of eBay
has enabled people to find nostalgic treasures instantly, that in the past,
would have taken years of trekking through antique shops to find. You guessed
it…due to eBay, I have made a hobby of collecting Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls,
keeping some on shelves in my home, but giving most away to my granddaughters. I’ve
purchased <u>several hundred</u> Nancy Ann’s, some hard plastic as in the 50’s
and also of bisque made in the 1940’s. I researched the history of the company
and of the talented owner, entrepreneur Nancy Ann Adams, and created a
PowerPoint presentation to tell her story. I show that in 1936, a woman making
dolls clothes at night in her apartment was able to build an empire selling
millions of top quality dolls up until she died in 1963. In conclusion, a
childhood shopping experience in Clarksburg led to my buying the dolls on eBay
that I felt I had been denied all those years, and has given me and others lots
of joy.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">As an adolescent of 11 or 12 years old, I used to take the city bus
out of Wolf Summit, where my family and I lived "round the holler”, to
spend the day shopping in downtown Clarksburg. The world was safe enough, in
those days, when children could be gone all day playing or visiting or shopping
and the parents never worried. I would get all dressed up in a nice blouse and
skirt with my starched pink crinolines, of course, sheer hoes and shiny black
patent leather shoes. I would ride the bus the seven miles to Clarksburg and
disembark at the Oak Hall Cafeteria (not sure if it was the cafeteria at that
time, but you know where I mean) on Main Street. For hours I would wander the
two or three blocks that made up the main part of downtown. Hagan's Ice Cream,
the Workingman's store, Rex Heck newsstand, and on to Aaron's shoes. I would
usually stop at the courthouse plaza to sit a little and take in the sights of
the people sitting and standing and talking and smoking on the walls
surrounding the plaza. Sometimes if I wandered up the alley beside the
courthouse, men in the jail’s open barred windows would yell down to me and
embarrass me to death. My sister told me one of them was my uncle Fred once! It
seemed to me to be the hub of the whole town.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Then, if I needed some school supplies, I would meander down the
street a little way to James and Law, where it always smelled like rubber
cement, freshly sharpened pencils and school paste that often found its way
into a kid’s mouth. Then jaywalk across the street to Parsons Souders, which
was my mom’s go-to clothing store for a peek at the latest fashions, then on to
O. J Morrison’s for more clothes, if memory serves me correctly. After this,
back up Main Street to my favorite block, the one with that gorgeous red brick
bank building on the corner of Main and Third, Lerner’s, Murphy’s and
McCrory’s, two competing “dime stores” that held court in the middle of the
block, side-by-side. You couldn’t go into one without visiting the other
because of the scents of popcorn, candied apples, cinnamon and delicious
home-cooked food wafting out the open doors. I remember going there and
enjoying baked steak sandwiches with mashed potatoes and gravy at the lunch counter
with my dad many times. We would always have a hot fudge sundae afterwards for
the bargain price of twenty-five cents! And, when I walked around town by
myself for hours, it wasn’t difficult for a hungry twelve-year old to put away
that much food.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">After that big meal, I would head toward Friedlander’s on the
corner of Main and Fourth, window shop at a couple of dress shops along Fourth
Street, then Mercer’s Drugs? Was that the name of the drugstore down Fourth
street? Not sure, but that was the first place I ever had a cherry coke at the
soda fountain. I thought it was the most delicious thing I had ever tasted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I often stopped in at the public library, that stately mansion that
still sits back among the trees with a long walkway up to it. Waldomore, I
think it’s called, although I never heard it called that back then. It was just
“the library”. Or, sometimes, if I got there early enough in the day, I might
catch a movie at the Ritz or Robinson Grand for a quarter. I studiously avoided
the block of Pike Street between Third and Fourth because it looked sinister to
me. It seemed there were several pool halls, beer joints and maybe a honky-tonk
or two and some men hanging around on the sidewalk. I called that part of Pike
Street "Men's Street".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">All too soon, it was time to catch the last bus back to Wolf Summit
at 6:00 to return home, get off the bus at Forde’s grocery store in Wolf Summit
and walk the mile back to my home around the holler, satisfied with my pleasant
day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I have some stories about growing up in Clarksburg that I am
going to send you. But first, in the last Newsletter you had an Article on hot
dogs, and asked the age-old question, "slaw or no slaw." I grew up in
Clarksburg in the 40's and 50's and my family was in the restaurant business
for as long as I can remember. My dad and mom had a small lunch counter on Pike
Street, across from Sycamore Street. My dad and uncles also ran the lunch
counters at the Strand and Recreation Pool Rooms on Pike Street, and then the
Ellis Drive-In Restaurant and Theater. I fondly remember the 1940's when a
Sunday evening treat was often sitting around the radio with my brothers
listening to the radio adventure and detective shows, and waiting for my dad to
show up with a hot dog bun box, filled with, not a dozen buns, but a dozen
hotdogs. They were wrapped in a thin restaurant single-sheet waxed paper, kind
of greasy from some chili leaking through the paper, and smelled scrumptious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My dad was an aficionado of hot dogs, and had very strong
opinions on the "proper" hot dog assembly process. The hot dog,
according to Sam Ellis, was a steamed wiener on a steamed bun, topped with
mustard, chili and onions. Not only those specific toppings, and those only,
but in that specific order. He took great pleasure in teaching his sons,
mustard first, on the wiener. Then chili, never the onions under the chili.
Last came the onions, always on top. He told us stories of strange faraway
lands to the north where strange people put relish and even sauerkraut on their
hot dogs. And we heard about even stranger lands where creamy cole-slaw was
slathered on the dogs. We learned as children, when traveling in these strange
lands, never nod when asked if we wanted a hot dog with "everything."
Always ask, he would say, "what do you mean, everything?" If the
waitress said "chili and slaw," or "mustard and relish," we
would know we had traveled too far from Clarksburg, and it was time to return
to the land of mustard, chili and onion. In that order!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">EDITOR'S NOTE:</span></b><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> That steam bun always made a huge difference. I
try to get the effect by placing the cooked wiener in the bun, cover it with
chili and onions (in that order) and wrap it in a paper towel and place in the
microwave about 10 seconds to obtain that steamed bun feel since I don’t own a
steamer. I don’t put mustard on the dog if it is for my husband as he hates
mustard. But I have mine with mustard. I have to forgo most of that now as I am
Gluten Free so I eat my hot dogs with no bread just all the ingredients on a
plate. Unless I can find Gluten Free buns!!!! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I remember S&H Green Stamps. My mother collected them.
After I was married to Anne Jones, my mother would invite Anne go shopping with
her stamps when we came back to Clarksburg. Anne had no problem spending the
stamps.</span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> I talked to my
wife as well as Joanne Drummond Marlette (class of about WI-'57) and it seems
there was a redemption store on Bridgeport Hill near where Harry Green Auto is
now. Joanne also remembered one at Nutter Fort about where I think the
Thoroughfare Grocery store was located. That would be near where Bagwell Avenue
is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">As a child, I loved pasting Green Stamps and Top Value
Stamps into books for my grandmother. When I had my first apartment, I redeemed
Stamps for a set of mixing bowls which I have to this day. Thinking about them
with my husband, he said that the same principle is applied to credit cards.
Rewards are gained on purchases such as airline mileage, gas discounts etc. I
had never made that correlation. Somehow licking and pasting stamps was more
fun!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Your article about
green stamps brought back a flood of memories. When my husband was in his last
year of law school at UF in Gainesville, Fl, I was teaching and my salary was
$360 a month in 1966.It covered our expenses, but there were no extras. For
three years I had bought our groceries at Winn Dixie spending the allotted sum
of $20 a week. Then I would come home and paste in those little stamps. The
stack of booklets grew. With graduation in sight, a baby due and little money,
I was thrilled to find that I had enough to "cash in" my book stash
and get the finest crib the green stamp store offered, mattress and all. It
lasted through three babies before I passed it on to another expectant mother.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Years later when I
watched my married children purchase their "designer" cribs from
Pottery Barn that would go in their color coordinated nurseries, I shared their
joy. However, if I were to ask them today if they have any special memory that
goes along with each crib, I would get back, A “what do you mean? " kind
of look. As for explaining the process of saving green stamps, I hesitate to
even go there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I can remember our family collecting S & H Green Stamps "back in
the day". IF I remember correctly, there were actually two types of
stamps; one being the S & H Green Stamps; the other being TV Stamps (?). I
think that S & H Green Stamps were given out when buying groceries at The
Garden Fresh Markets and the TV Stamps (yellow/orange) were given out when
buying groceries at Kroger's. We were able to purchase many items when
redeeming the stamps, but I cannot remember any one thing in particular. It
will be interesting to see if anyone remembers the second set of stamps.</span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I honesty can’t remember who mentioned to me that The Class
of 1961 had a band!!! I do know that I have been perusing some information
about this band for about 3 months. I was not going to give up easily. Thanks
to John Teter (WI 1961) for getting involved and contacting people in his
class. I think this is very interesting. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span><br />

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The band was started by Robert Maxwell (WI 1961). He wrote
the theme song named “East Bound”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Mike King (WI 1961) wrote and furnished us with the names of the members of the band. The band
included </span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Charlie McGlumphy. Robert Maxwell, Tom Kearns, Jr. Waugh,
Bob Swiger, Gary Dawson, Roger Petito, Bill May (note: Bill was not in the class
of 1961 but graduated in 1963, the band needed him) and Mike King. </span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">We played at VFW, The Flamingo Club,
Hartland Youth Center, etc. plus the Class of 1961 Senior Assembly.</span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Are you talking about “The Electras”? Robert WAS the band. He could play
any instrument and he would at any given time right in the middle of a number
go around and grab someone's instrument and start playing it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Gary Dawson and Mike King have a better memory but here's what I remember:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Robert Maxwell played electric guitar, Tom Kearns was on drums,
Charlie McGlumphy played piano, Artie Aspy played sax, Bill May played guitar and
Jr. Waugh played. ??, Mike "Chico " King was the lead singer and Gary
Dawson and I were the " Do Wop" backup singers. I did sing some slow
songs like “Gee Whiz” (look at those eyes). I never won a Grammy but Mike King
was pretty good. He went on to better things, (better band).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">What was our theme song? Please correct my failing memory. Where did we
play? You fellows have a better memory. We practiced at McGlumphy Funeral Homes
but not during services, Ha! We played WI gym to make money for the athletic
Dept. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Our favorite song we played and sang was Shout by the Isley Brothers. I
remember we signed up to play in the Senior Assembly and Principal Cubbon was
afraid we would get out of hand and was against it. Coach Castellana was our
supporter and talked him into letting us play. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">BTW. Gary, Bill, Mike and I are the only ones left from that group. I miss
those guys. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The theme song was “Eastbound” which was chosen for the
group because of the entrance sign on that part of the Clarksburg By-pass
(expressway) when it was being built. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Other than playing songs which were familiar to the band
members, we often played “Bony Maroni”, “Gee Whiz”, and “Shout. </span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">We
played at the Pink Flamingo (a club) on other side of Bridgeport hill. Pink
Flamingo was owned by a gentleman who ran East End Lunch. I think Sammy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">There are no
pictures that I know of. We were not good, Robert Maxwell was talented, Charlie
could play some chords on the piano, Robert showed him, Tom Kearns could play
the drums for what we were doing. Mike could sing, we all were in A Choir, so
you know we could sing, (smile) but we sure had a good time. We were not the
Prodigals or the Shades and there were several good bands that played around
Clarksburg but as I mentioned before, the event for the athletic department and
the gig at Pink Flamingo, were our biggies. The Senior Assembly, we rocked the
place. I do believe our trip to Joe Sarifini's Sportsman Inn at 6 in the
morning before the assembly helped us a lot.</span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think I was in the band because I had an electric guitar
and an amp. I couldn't play well at all but Robert Maxwell showed me how to
play the songs that we played. He was incredible. I remember someone turning a
microphone off when Roger was singing. Roger said "I want to be
heard" or something like that.</span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"> I remember that
Mike King was actually a pretty decent singer. Bobby Swiger wasn't bad either
and Tom Kearns was a pretty decent drummer. But again, Robert Maxwell carried
us. He usually was playing the piano and was great. </span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I also remember playing at an assembly in the
auditorium and Miss Nutter walked out. Had a ball hanging out with those guys
back when we were famous.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

have a picture of them? Can you share some memories of this group? As you just

Mike Snyder’s post. He obviously paid attention in Miss Wright’s English class,
which he may have attended with Rita Drummond, I rarely must correct her
grammar. Sorry about the ash trees. Diversity is not always good!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Oral Lake is that it is like a step back in time. The Fourth of July is always
spectacular with water games, land games, picnicking, and fireworks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

outside of Bridgeport and if you continue up the road you will be on Beards
Run. The lake in front of the club house is of course, Oral Lake. I'll bet
nobody else can tell you what the lake was called at one time. It was called
"Sam's Lake". I have no idea why. It appears the raised railroad
track is what formed the lake. I am not sure about that, either. There used to
be a grist mill just downstream from the lake. It was called the Lang-Webb
Mill. My father-in-law used to have a farm on Beards Run; it is now a housing development
called Auburn Woods.</span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the picture of “a cute little house”? This is a picture of the Oral Lake
Fishing Club, outside of Bridgeport. As kids, we spent many a summer day at
“Oil” Lake and I still have a scar on my knee from where one of my brothers
pushed me off the upper deck. I’ve enclosed a picture of my dad and his
siblings out at Oral, taken around 1935. In the picture is my dad, Bob
Wilson-WI Class of ’37, Jack Wilson-WI Class of ’41, Sally Wilson-WI Class of
’45 and Tom Wilson-WI Class of ’47. Thanks for the memory jog!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The mystery picture
is the Oral Lake Club House. I spent many summers there swimming out to Middle
Pier, jumping off the top, picnicking, fishing, cooking out and having fun.
Fourth of July was the best day. Swim races, the three-legged race, wheelbarrow
race, the egg toss etc. The prizes were silver dollars. Then we had great
fireworks display.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The picture for November is the clubhouse at Oral Lake. I
went to my first dance there when I was in the 7<sup>th</sup> grade--- I don’t
think too many of the attendees could dance – I remember “two steps forward and
one step back” straight across the dance floor and then turning around so as to
go straight back. Also, I think we learned the Virginia Reel at that dance ---
there must have been a parent present who knew square dances. Anyway, so far as
I know we all had a good time--at least, I know I did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think the dance was sponsored by SubDebs – a “sorority” of
sorts at Central Junior High School—a group in great disfavor with Mr. Lowther
(principal at Central) who thought it hurtful to children not members of the
club. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In my day the clubhouse was just a building – there was a
piano desperately out of tune and missing a couple of keys – a Coke machine
that frequently had no Cokes in it, a kitchen with stove and (empty) fridge and
the large “dance floor”. We loved the large porch on the club house for refuge
when it rained and to play cards.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">When I went with friends to either Maple Lake or Lake Floyd,
I was somewhat envious of the facilities – a large water slide at Maple Lake,
and Ping Pong tables at Floyd among others. But we thought the water at Oral
was the best – clear and cold whereas the water at the other two lakes was
murky.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I believe the mystery picture is The Oral Lake Clubhouse. It is a private
club with fishing and swimming. There were so many functions held there. From
high school parties, to Clarksburg Rotary Club functions. During the summers, it
was a very popular hangout.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The only memory that I have of Oral Lake is that sometime "back in the
day", I can remember going in the building in the picture, as it is the
"clubhouse" at Oral Lake. I seem to think that the only things inside
the "clubhouse" were a boy's and girl's dressing rooms. I do not
remember ever swimming in Oral Lake, as I was never that good of a swimmer. The
day back in August, 2017 when I took the picture, there was at least one woman
(maybe even two) swimming in the lake, and a man was somewhere on the shore
talking to her, but I could not actually see him. I did notice that the houses
along the road were in HORRIBLE CONDITION, and the steps leading up to some of
those houses did not look to be usable. Another thing that interested me was
that the few houses that seemed to have garages were covered with bushes and/or
vines, but there were not that many actual garages along the road - maybe even
just one. I do not know where people living in those houses parked, as the
steps were practically ON the road, and I could not actually see much of the
houses. A distant comparison to what I remember being at Lake Floyd and Maple
Lake, as both of these lakes had been property lots; a large clubhouse; and a
lot was done constantly to keep these lakes in good shape and looking good.
Richard Underwood (WI 1960) was the reason that I spent most of my lake time at
Maple, as his parents had a cottage there. Ice skating was a popular attraction
for going to Maple Lake.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I do remember going up the road beside the lake and back into the area
beyond the lake, as we had friends and/or relatives living up on the dirt road
section. There was a railroad crossing that was very dangerous, as you had to
go over the railroad crossing on an upward angle, and most of the time, you
could not see down the tracks in either direction. Once we got to where we were
going to visit people, I remember we had to drive thru a small creek to get in
to where the house was. I am sure that if my sister (Lib Akin) reads this, she
can probably tell you the name and connection our family had to the people
living up on the dirt road beyond the lake.</span><br />

<span style="color: #181717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I'm certain that the November Mystery Picture is the Bath House at
Oral Lake. My Uncle had a membership there and I worked there for one summer,
either 63 or most likely 64 as a Lifeguard/Water Safety Instructor every day
from noon till 5pm. Not a lot of folks there except on weekends so it was slow.
The bath house was pretty primitive as I recall but functional. I think it was
that same color when I was there.</span></div>

around the Clarksburg Country Club, we would ride the city bus to and from
school. Every grade was on the same bus and the back was reserved for the high
school kids. Our poor drivers had to put up with a lot of shenanigans over the
years. Did you ride the city bus to school? Where did you live and where were
you dropped off for school? Do you remember something funny that happened on a
bus trip? </span><br />

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Once again you and your “crew” (husband and sister) have
done a yeoman's job! Tim has out-done himself too and I loved looking at the
picture of my uncle Malden Stout who taught at WI in the 1920’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">It was a great newsletter and I so enjoyed all the wonderful
articles, many that brought such warm memories to mind. The Robinson Grand, hot
dogs (my favorite was at the bottom of the hill across from my father’s work at
Meadow Gold dairy-Lowell’s is what he called it and I never got the dog, just
the bun with onions and his fabulous chili), pizza at Twin Oaks or maybe it was
at Romano’s (the crust had cornmeal under it-also fabulous), and eating at a
restaurant in a basement-was that at the Palace Furniture? anyway, fun
memories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">If I had more information I would write a long, rich- in-
detail article to celebrate my high school friend Bobbie Johnston Swisher-Class
of 1959. She and I went to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh together and roomed
at the Salvation Army building there. In all honesty, I was the geek of the two
of us and she was so much fun, lively, smiley and just gorgeous and she still
is! Everywhere we went I was glad she was with me because she made life just an
adventure. Bobbie married and moved away from Clarksburg. She had two wonderful
sons and after her husband passed away she moved back to Clarksburg. After
graduation from art school I moved to California, married, had a family and
have now ended up in Roseburg, Oregon. Over all these years, Bobbie and I have
kept in touch though a nation apart. Sometimes just at Christmas and at other
times, if we were able, via phone calls or personal visits when we came back to
see Clarksburg. Anyway, this stunning, warm and engaging woman is delightful
and gave me such rich memories as a young person I will be eternally grateful
for having her in my life. So, with clapping hands and a heartfelt blown kiss,
I celebrate my classmate Bobbie Johnston Swisher!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Shopping as a young person in Clarksburg is just a blur for
me-not much money to do it with and sewing at home came first. My one
outstanding memory was a trip to Broida’s (I am not sure of the spelling) with
my grandmother after I graduated from Art School. She felt I should have two
interview suits. I had honestly dreamed of shopping there but never was quite
able and this was my one chance to go to the second floor and have someone
choose clothes for me. I dragged the whole thing out as long as I could end up
with a beautiful deep cranberry two-piece suit and another navy blue one. I
remember them vividly still to this day. Am I right, Roleta, that you worked
there? Be still my beating heart! And those hot pink and black bags were
something else to behold. I can remember just wishing I had one of the bags!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Now, about those W.Va. sayings! I could regale you all night
long with stories, sayings and what-nots but the two that I still use most
often (and get a chuckle every time from someone present when I say them) are:
“Whew, it’s colder than a well digger’s butt “and when things get really down
to being beyond picky in a situation: “Looks like picking fly poop out of
pepper”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Thanks for letting me “bend your ear”, Roleta. You are
amazing!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">A few years ago, my
wife, Terry Burruss (Mt. Hope High School class of 1954 and WVU class of 1958),
and I moved into a retirement community in Ashburn, Virginia. At dinner one
evening, we happened to dine with a man by the name of John Stump. Before long,
we both realized that we had common interests in West Virginia and he was
somewhat surprised that I even knew the location of Stumptown, West Virginia.
We soon found that we had both gone to WI – he - a few years earlier than I. We
enjoyed reminiscing about our days there and we had both remembered many of the
same teachers. John, in fact, was the person who put me in touch with this “WI
Newsletter.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">John and I met
periodically over the past couple of years and I was always amazed at his wide
range of interests. I don’t think his mind ever stopped and he was always
learning something new. At John’s funeral a few weeks ago, I was pleased to
meet his sister Mary Stump Harrell (WI 1955) and we had a wonderful time
recounting Clarksburg memory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

were so thankful to receive them and learn some things about his and Jerry
Danley’s high school days at WI.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I left Clarksburg on the B&O
headed for New York City after my graduation from high school in 1964 to be the
singer in a rock & roll band. It was what I had always dreamed of and prepared
for. I had studied voice and piano with Ruby Marshall Scott in Clarksburg for
years.</span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In 1963, the TV series “Hootenanny”
came to Salem College. It was televised at an old auditorium in Clarksburg. It
could have been the Carmichael. I can’t remember. Artists on that night’s show:
Nina Simone, <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The New Christy Minstrels, The Four
Preps and The Geezinslaw Brothers.</span> I managed to get into the rehearsal
where I met the producer of the show Fred Weintraub, who was also <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">the original owner of “The Bitter End</span>”, a
famous coffee house<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"> in New York City's Greenwich
Village</span>, where legends of the folk and folk-rock era and comedians
performed. Fred asked me to come to New York to audition for a group he
managed, <i>The Serendipity Singers</i>, during the Christmas holiday. I auditioned
and got the job. I went back to Clarksburg to finish my school year and
graduate as Fred suggested. During that year while I was still finishing school
at Victory High, Fred decided to create another band, which I would become a
member of; <i>The Bitter End Singers</i>. I moved to New York and we began
rehearsals at the Bitter End the summer following graduation. <i>The Bitter End Singers</i> played clubs,
college concerts, and a host of television variety shows including The Tonight
Show and recorded two albums. That first year we were invited to campaign with
President Lyndon Johnson. We performed at political rallies warming up the
crowd. The President would arrive on Air Force One, give a speech and we would
fly on ahead to the next location in a private plane. We ended the tour with
Lady Bird and President Johnson on the train called <i>The Lady Bird Special</i>,
which was on a campaign tour through the Deep South. Later that year we were
invited to perform at The White House for the Salute to Congress. We were invited
back the next year. Then the White House arranged for us to do a USO tour in
Germany. It was all heady stuff and a great honor. Memories to last a lifetime.
In gratitude for our work helping in a very small way to get the president
elected we were invited to the President’s Inaugural Ball. I needed a handsome
escort. I was not dating anyone at the time, so I asked a handsome young man I
knew from around the Village. He agreed to take me to the ball, where we fell
in love. We were married two years later at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. While I
hated to leave the band members, my apartment in Greenwich Village and my
beloved manager Fred Weintraub, my husband wanted to move to Hollywood for his
career as an actor and after we divorced 12 years later, I began my career
again as a singer and actress. My former manager Fred Weintraub soon moved to
LA as well, to produce all Bruce Lee’s movies. We’ve stayed lifelong friends as
did all the members of my band. Life was tricky for a single mom managing
motherhood and a career, so I put my career on hold again and started a CD
replication business, which sustained me until I retired. In the meantime, I
would do work anyone offered me as a singer or an actress. Just three years
ago, I was called by the film director Ralph Bakshi, whom I had worked with 30
years ago. He said, “So, you wanna work for me again?” I said, “Yes, of
course.” I became a New Yorker and later an Angelino but I still miss the green
hills of West Virginia and my neighborhood in North View.</span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My husband, Marlow
Davis, also graduated from WI in 1940. A very heart-warming story regarding
Miss Hollins has just entered my mind. Marlow was from a broken home and was
unhappily living at the Kappa Sigma Pi home on Pike Street. He had an
after-school job working at the Esso service station on Main Street. He was a
hard-working, very courteous, very, very shy, super-nice student. (Some of the
girls referred to him as the most handsome guy in school -- and rightly so.) Miss
Hollins learned of his background and spent time getting acquainted with him
and encouraging him. He was in two of her classes. She had two other boys in
her classes with similar backgrounds. One day she invited all three of them to
her house for dinner. She did an excellent job of nurturing, and encouraging
them. Marlow was so very appreciative. I don't know how many years ago it was
that he was wondering if there was any way we could get her address so he could
thank her again. We asked my sister's husband who was still teaching at RW and
he got it right away.</span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">After 36 years
teaching at WI and RCB it still amazes me how well WI was run by Kenneth Cubbon
and Miss Custer. In schools today, every little thing is deemed a critical
issue by those obsessed with keeping their position and avoiding public
criticism. Mr. Cubbon had the ability to differentiate between what was trivial
and what was really important! When I was a student there from 1956-60 the home
room teachers served as advisors, not trained for it and bad judgments were
sometimes made. There were no vice-principals to share administrative duties.
No guidance counselors. No one other than Ms. Custer to handle the avalanche of
paperwork that existed even back then. There were however several talented,
motivated coaches who did keep things under control. We either feared or
respected them and they did their job conscientiously. I was fortunate to get
to know Clay B. Hite-a man among men! It had to be something really serious for
it to go all the way to the principal's office. Success came from it being a
TEAM effort. It was a dream come true when I got to work at WI with some of the
teachers I had in school, especially my mentor Jack Frederick. On the flip
side, once politics took precedence over ability when new administrators were
chosen, I saw the educational system county-wide and no doubt nationally going
downhill. Don't get me wrong-I had a great relationship with ALL my supervisors
at both WI and RCB and they always had the interest of students and teachers as
top priority. I especially learned a lot from Sam Scolapio who helped me be a
better teacher. All A-1!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Since my brother brought it up, I thought I had better respond. The hole in
one thing - I have been golfing for a long time, sometimes more frequently than
others. When I retired in 1999, I started playing regularly twice a week and
have two holes in ones, one in 2004 and the second in 2014. In fact, the church
group I golf with has a "Hole-in-One" traveling trophy that goes to
the last one in the group to have one. I have the trophy and will have to find
it for the next one, if I can remember where my wife hid it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I have been golfing regularly for about 55-years and, unfortunately, have
never had a hole-in-one. I've been close, but never quite got there. I realize
that you must first hit the ball toward the hole to have a chance, but beyond
that, there is quite a bit of luck involved. Apparently, I just don't have that
kind of luck. A fellow employee of mine, who had one of the worst golf swings I
have ever seen, had five aces, which proves that it is not technique.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In case you didn't know, an Albatross, which is three under par on a par 5
hole (2), is more difficult to get than a hole-in-one. Also, a Condor, which is
an ace on a par 5 is extremely rare. As of 2008, only four condors had ever
been recorded. One thing is for sure, I'll keep trying for my first ace. As for
an albatross or a condor, I'll leave that to my son.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Preston Country Club has been good to you. Roleta and I have played it many
times, since we summered at Alpine Lake a couple of years. Prior to that, when
my brother lived in Masontown, we got in a few rounds there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I remember the course for two reasons. First is its location near Camp
Dawson. I'm told that Army brass from Washington, DC, often spent weekends
playing golf at Preston CC. Plus, I'll never forget the Flood of 1985, reading
about how the Cheat River covered the course. I had a hard time imagining that
could have happened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The above note was sent to me by Mike Snyder, W I 1957, shortly after the
WVU/Texas game. He was, of course, referring to the injury to quarterback Will
Grier early in the game. His loss changed the game and the rest of the season
for the Mountaineers. Without him, they lost to a Texas team they should have
beaten. It is doubtful if he will play again until next fall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Although many of us hated to admit it, we knew that as Grier went, so went
the team. Major losses of players on the defense and a suspect offensive line
coming into the season, made it imperative that the passing game take up the
slack, if they were to be competitive in the Big 12. Grier and his four
receivers (that's all they have---four) did just that and the team was in every
game. Now, Grier is gone. Even a loss to Oklahoma in the final game would not
ruin the season, but it would have been nice to see this team have a shot at
the Big 12 title, which they had before Grier's injury.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">It's time to get out the old, "Wait 'til next year" slogan. Let's
hope we get to see one of the most talented quarterbacks ever to wear the gold
and blue entertain us one more year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Just like most Mountaineer fans, I was disappointed in the outcome of the
WVU/Oklahoma football game. My heart thought we had a chance, but my brain told
me there was no way we could stay with the Sooners, especially without Will
Grier. I thought the final spread would probably be 21-25 points. Little did I
know that some of our players had their own agenda.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Even before the opening kickoff. it appeared that there was "Trouble
in River City". Bad blood was brewing between these two teams. Once the
game began, the trash talk, constant shoving and pushing and what turned out to
be actual dirty playing commenced. I think some of WVU's players knew they
really didn't have much of a chance for a win, so they resorted to questionable
tactics against the opponent. The Sooners were already rolling, when one of
their linemen was mugged on the ground and was disqualified for retaliating. I
knew then that the rout was on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Oklahoma would score on nine straight possessions. I felt sorry for our
defense, because it looked like the old saying, "These were men playing
against boys". I honestly believe they could have scored 80 or more points
if they cared to do so. I guess their coach decided that he had already put a
whuppin' on us, so the QB took a knee at the end of the game to avoid another
score.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I'm all for rough and tough play. In fact, Dana Holgorsen called out the
team during mid-season for not being tough enough. However, these antics went
far beyond tough play. I don't think there is a need for this in college
football. I had no excuse when one of my good friends, who had no dog in the
hunt, commented to me that "my team (WVU) plays dirty football". For
the first time in my life, I was ashamed to admit that I was a proud fan of the
Mountaineer football team. It wasn't a good feeling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">My
first date with Gene Thomas, my first husband and father of my four children,
was to the movies. The movie was Jumping Jacks with Dean Martin and Jerry
Lewis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Gene was four years older than me and graduated from WI two years ahead of
me. He joined the Navy soon after graduation. Gene would hitchhike from
Norfolk, VA to Clarksburg every weekend that he did not have duty. That would
have been a long, cold and lonely trip over the mountains on Rt 50. We were
married in March of my senior year against my father’s wishes. We eloped to
Sparta, NC and took Carol Sue Costlow Gabbert as our witness. Our first child,
son Gene Edward, was born on August 3, 1957. On July 9, 1958 second son
Timothy, came along. Daughter Nanette Marie entered the world on November 30,
1959. Our youngest son Gregory was born two months premature on November 17,
1960. We were foster parents for Oakland County Michigan for a few years. I
drove a school bus while Gene worked for Pontiac Motors as a maintenance
welder. Gene passed away from cancer when our first grandchild was a few months
old. Now I have 10 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">This New York Times best
seller is the best biography to date about the greatest West Virginian who ever
lived, Clarksburg native Thomas Johnathan “Stonewall” Jackson. This writer has
read this book (find it on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rebel-Yell-Violence-Redemption-Stonewall/dp/1451673299/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1511914084&sr=1-1&keywords=rebel+yell+gwynne" target="_blank"><b>Amazon</b></a>) twice because it is so good. Stonewall comes to life as never
before. It records in detail, his rugged early life at Jackson's Mill, his West
Point years, and his bravery in the Mexican War.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We follow him to
Lexington, Virginia, where he was a professor at the Virginia Military
Institute and the fact that he was not regarded highly as an academic. His
first wife died and he later remarried. Their daughter, Julia Laura, was born
during the war. Jackson was revered by the black residents of Lexington where
he conducted a Sunday school class which included freedmen and slaves alike.
One slave working in a hotel asked Jackson to buy him, which he did. He also
took into his household a mentally handicapped four-year old black girl.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">When the War Between the
States began, the transformation of Jackson also began. He publicly drew his
sword and threw away the scabbard. In the First Battle of Bull Run, Jackson's
brigade withstood the brunt of the massive Northern assault. He rallied his
troops with his entreaty to fight, scream and yell with all their might. As a
result of this great Southern victory, Jackson earned the sobriquet of
Stonewall, and according to Gwynne, it was here that the rebel yell was born.
The author paints in vivid colors Jackson's meteoric rise to fame on the
battlefields of the Shenandoah Valley, becoming in the writer's words, one of
the most famous men in the Western world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Secretive, eccentric,
brilliant, fearless, devoutly religious; but first and foremost, always the
master strategist, his forces withstood Northern foes three times greater in
number, diverting some 70,000 Northern troops away from McClellan's campaign
against Richmond. As a result of his Valley Campaign, as it became known in
history, Jackson is considered “without argument” one of America's greatest
military figures. His tactics to this day are studied in military academies
throughout the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">This reporter makes some
reflections on Jackson's life:1. The war severed permanently his very close
relationship with his sister Laura (Arnold) of Beverly, a staunch defender of
the Union. 2.There may be more statues of Stonewall Jackson than any other
Southern leader—in Clarksburg, Charleston, Lexington and VMI, Richmond, and
Stone Mountain, Georgia. His name is attached in West Virginia and throughout
the South to myriad schools, streets, institutions, restaurants, Lee-Jackson
Day, a former Clarksburg hotel and the state park and lake in Lewis County. 3.
His capture of 10,000 Yankee prisoners at Harper's Ferry was the largest
surrender in U.S. history until the fall of Bataan in WW II. 4. Could he have
captured Washington, D.C.? At one point early in the war, possibly. 5. Had he
not been killed at Chancellorsville and lived to fight at Gettysburg—the
aggressive Jackson would have likely seized the high ground first in that
battle, which the North did instead—and the outcome would have been reversed. Had
that happened, there is a likelihood that peace would have been declared and
the Confederate States of America could have become a separate country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Ro - Since I read obituaries these days the way I used to read resumes', I
found myself at the end of November's Newsletter and Barbara Ann Morris's
listing. Some of you may remember her as "Mrs. Morris", the
Librarian; some as "Bud" Morris' wife; Melissa's mother; but those of
us at WI in the early 50's knew her as just "Punchy"!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Christie family, Barbara, Cleve & Penny lived near me on Wilson
Street, just up the hill from WI. Punchy, as she was known then, graduated in
1950. The quote from her yearbook read, "<i>A tiny doll with golden hair
and golden personality is rare." </i>She was small in stature but perky,
bright and cheerful in her actions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">An Honor Student, Punchy went on to Salem College and WVU. After teaching
at Victory, she become the Librarian at WI. This connected her with my sister,
Sadie Graham, who, at the time, was the Librarian at Salem College/University.
They were also both long-time members of the Clarksburg First Presbyterian
Church.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">These connections led into a common interest in quilting and the Ladies
Quilting Group at Fort New Salem. Above is a (bad) photo of the group which
I have framed and hanging at my cottage at Lake Floyd. (Sis titled it,
"The worst possible picture of all of us!") I also have included a
photo of a wall hanging they made for me from the scraps of the quilt in the
group picture. (Note below: The "Bow-tie" motif) They once submitted a piece
of their work to a statewide competition and later sold it for over $1000.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I'm sorry I can't name each member of the group. Punchy is second from the
left. Sis (WI-43) is third from the right, beside Mim (Lowther) Allen (WI-44).
Sis is currently residing at the Clarksburg Rehab Facility on Davisson Road. A
while back we visited Punchy at Maplewood. I'm guessing that they both
submitted squares To Sue Shelby Moats for your annual Newsletter quilt fundraiser.
I know Sis did. (BTW, she has her small quilting frame with her on Davisson
Road.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">While I babble on, let me conclude with my thanks once again for the
Meredith Family and their work on this publication. I've been "on it"
since the beginning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My Mother said she saw my wife's obit in the newsletter. I am so sad that
she is gone. I have attempted to get her info to her class in Pontiac,
Michigan. I have not heard that anyone there knows. Yes, her obit was placed in
the newspaper there. Several of her Michigan friends made the trip to her
funeral. There was no time to think about it they just made the trip. Wonderful
friends unexpectedly interrupting their lives to pay their respect to their
good friend and in one case a relative. I know Janell appreciated them coming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Without reciting her wonderful traits and many accomplishments I am
wondering how one should be remembered? Then how are those memories shared? Not
everyone can write a memoir or an autobiography. So many of us go to our final
reward without much more than a brief obituary. Date of birth and date of
death. Oh yes, they had parents and siblings. Is that it? Why yes, for many of
us that is it. Does that mean our lives have been insignificant? Maybe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Of course, this gets me to "what's it all about". Why do we live?
What are we supposed to do? What is an accomplishment?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Is it money? Inventions? The internet? An app? Children that might
accomplish what we couldn't?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Still, I haven't answered what is an accomplishment? Did I start a
religion? Did I encourage thousands to join a religion? Did I teach thousands
how to earn thousands of dollars? Was it the LED bulb? 3D printer? Sergeant Pepper’s
Lonely-Hearts Club Band? Mona Lisa? St. Peter’s Cathedral? The Wall?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Perhaps it is merely to be remembered as a good human being. One who
treated everyone with respect and kindness. Baked you a cake just because it
wasn't your birthday. Answered the phone without a trace of bitterness that
their phone rang.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Are those pleasant people few and far between? I hope not. I don’t think
so. I am sure I am not one of those but I am sure my wife was a shining example
of someone who was.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">It is my fervent wish that the world will remember her by remembering that
wonderful someone in their life that made a difference in all our lives.
Certainly, we all benefit from that one good soul who cared for the sick in
India. Never met her. Never saw her. Don't know anyone who did. Yet I feel so
much better because I know she existed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">If no one is there does a falling tree in the woods make a noise?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Perhaps an accomplishment, the greatest accomplishment, is to have lived a
humble life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Hunter's Moon peaked a few days ago shining bigger
and fuller in the clear mountain skies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Standard" style="color: #444444; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We've had a month-long drought and a lot of trees have
dropped their leaves early, especially the maples. The noble ash tree is on its
last legs toward extinction due to the Asian emerald ash borer. We have two in
our front yard both over one-hundred years old; and they're looking very bad, in
spite of having one undergo a costly inoculation by an arborist. All of the
timber owners are cutting their ash. Strong, light and flexible ash is used for
baseball bats, rake, hoe, and shovel handles, baskets and furniture. These
beautiful trees have a soothing, harmonious presence and will be missed badly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Standard" style="color: #444444; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The wet spring and summer produced bumper gardens, especially
for tomatoes. Ever hear of the '63 West Virginia Centennial tomato? Developed
by WVU, we have grown it for a long time and like it before peak ripeness. Very
few apples made it at this altitude this year due to spring freeze. I'm
including a picture of a Tompkins County King apple with this posting. It dates
back to the early 1800's, originating in the county of that name in upper New
York state. If you like sweet apples then this is it—because it is the sweetest
apple I have ever tasted. And it makes the sweetest cider of all. For eating, I
like those with more snap like the Prairie Spy, York, Twenty Ounce and the
newer Jonagold. There is another old-time apple we grow called the Northern
Spy. A few of these hit along with a handful of Yellow Delicious, but still too
early and sour for cider making.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Standard" style="color: #444444; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Squirrel and bear season are open now, but this hunter
doesn't chase bear and it's no fun hunting squirrels this early in the hot,
bone-dry woods. It hasn't hampered some of the local bear hunters, however. They've
bagged several with their Bluetick, Redbone, and Redtick hounds. I like the
looks of the old-time Black and Tans the best, but I don't see them as often,
anymore. Biggest bear so far was nearly 400 lbs. My favorite hound though, is
the trusty Beagle, rabbit hunter par excellence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Standard" style="color: #444444; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">As noted, the woods and mountains are in tinderbox
condition and a forest fire was burning out of control on the rugged, rocky
slopes of North Fork Mountain Trail in Grant County and will likely spread into
Pendleton—the west slope of this ridge is just too remote and steep for the
firefighters to handle. We're scheduled for a good drenching from the latest
hurricane. The rains did come after the fire burned nearly 200 acres. That is
the only thing that can stop a fire like this one. The double decker cattle
trucks are bringing the black Angus beefers down from the Sinks high country to
winter in the South Branch Valley with some going as far off as Indiana. Sheep
raising here is in a sad, steep decline due to coyote and bear predation. The sheep
men only had one defense, a dose of poison on a baited shot shell device
planted in the ground. But the feds took this away from them last year. A good
friend here lost 40 head of sheep from predators this year and he's getting out
of the business. I spent my first eight years here on a sheep farm on the Laurel
Fork. They were tough years but good ones. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Standard" style="color: #444444; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">There are not many mountain streams where wild trout
can exist year-round. The brook trout is native to the Appalachians, the Brown
from Europe, and the Rainbow from the Pacific slopes. Wild ones of all three
species are present in to varying extent in a comparatively few of our coldest
streams. But many of these waters are almost completely dry and this will have
a major negative impact on these beautiful fish we fly fishermen love so much. But
all in all, this has been fabulous fall weather with red, orange and gold
leaf-covered mountainsides surrounding us under the bluest skies. Far away from
the maddening crowd.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">There was no
girls' gymnasium at the school until 1928. The girls' gym and the new library
were both added on in 1928. This explains why the girls' gym was higher than
the boys' gym. It also explains why there were windows in the girls' gym facing
down onto the boys' gym.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">This is the Robinson Grand Theater.
Located on Pike Street in Clarksburg. It was built on Feb 7,1913 by the
Clarksburg Amusement Company. Robert Laffetry was the President and Claude
Robinson was the Vice President. It was purchased in 1984 by James Larosa. The
city of Clarksburg acquired it in 2014. It was a famous place as acts such as
Edger Bergen, Jack Benny and Amos and Andy preformed there. The manager was
Madge Doudges and the ticket taker was Mr. Felts. I watched a lot of movies there
and was very nice theater.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

little girls in the chef costumes was one of them. I am the dancer on the end

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I have many memories of the Robinson Grand Theater. I
saw my first movie ever at the Robinson Grand when I was 5 or 6 years old. My
oldest sister took me to see "101 Dalmatians." There was a huge crowd
there, and we sat way in the back, but I was entranced. I'd never seen a movie
on the big screen before, and the theater itself seemed enormous from a little
kid's perspective. As I got a little older, a friend and I would often go to
the Robinson Grand on Saturdays to a matinee. On Saturdays, they played a lot
of "B" movies, science fiction and horror stuff. Usually there was a
lot action and very little plot, which made for perfect entertainment for a
couple of boys with almost zero attention span. Often after the matinee, my
buddy and I would go to Ritzy Lunch and get a hot dog and a coke Altogether,
the movie and meal probably cost about a dollar and fifty cents. A lot of fun
for your money. Once, when I was in grade school, I got the chance, along with
lots of other kids, to appear on stage at the Robinson Grand. We were part of
an operetta, and several schools were involved I think. I remember that I
played a "raindrop soldier" in the operetta and had a wooden gun that
I carried on my shoulder when I marched on to the stage. I also remember that
most of the "soldiers" missed their cue and appeared late. This was
my one and only theatrical performance, and it was at the Robinson Grand. I
retired from the theater after that, at the age of 8.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The mystery picture appears to be the Robinson Grand
Theater, but might be one of the others. During my little league baseball days,
I would go watch movies, mostly cowboys and Indians stuff. My sister worked at
the Robinson Grand and the Orpheum, if I remember correctly, so tickets were
cheap if not free. Robinson Grand was actually owned by Robinson family and we
wound up connected in a roundabout way as my dad's sister married Harry Lang
late in life and he was married earlier to Dorothy Robinson until her death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I recognize the interior of the Robinson Grand
Theatre, but I suspect this picture was taken after it became the Rose Garden
because the windows of the projection booth are not lit up. My father, Clarence
Hunter, started working as a projectionist at the Grand in 1930 at the age of
15. At first, he shared shifts with his father Earl Hunter, who already worked
there, and he also worked shifts at the Opera House. After his father left
Clarksburg, my father shared shifts with Kenneth McGuire, who was a witness at
my parents' marriage in 1937. After that the other projectionist was George
Felts. That is the one I remember. After we left in 1952, I believe George
Felts' son became the other projectionist along with his father.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">During the time I was aware of all this, say from 1945
to 1952, my father worked his (roughly 6 hours) shift every day. He worked
evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and afternoons on
Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. This made for a difficult suppertime schedule---
sometimes he was coming and sometimes he was going. George Felts worked the
alternate shifts. Also, my father worked stage shows when they were scheduled. When
the theater had Bank Night, he was the announcer. Apparently, he felt pretty
spiffy in his white linen suit with white shoes. My mother often mentioned
getting them ready. After 1948, when he bought a 1936 Packard, he was able to
travel to various churches and other places where they had pipe organs (WV
Wesleyan had 4) to tune and repair the organs. He would hire George Felts' son
to take his shift at the theater when he travelled out of town for this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); color: #444444; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">When the theater burned, my father incurred a hernia
from carrying out heavy equipment. He had two surgeries for this later in life.
One in Clarksburg, and one in Santa Monica. At first, in Clarksburg, when he
took the Packard to work on an organ, he couldn't carry in his tool box and he
would send me out to the car to fetch whatever tool he wanted. Later on, my
brother became the helper. My father still tuned and repaired organs in Los
Angeles. By that time, they were mostly electronic organs<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I still ramble around the theater in my mind, although
there is not much chance I will be able to go back and see it again. I am 77
years old and don't get around much. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think the
mystery picture has to be the Robinson Grand Theater. I remember the box seats
on the side and the orchestra pit. I've seen many a movie there, but I don't
remember details about the interior because we entered and left in a darkened
theater as movies back then ran and reran with the lights never coming on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I suppose my
most memorable visit to the Robinson Grand was for a dance recital when I was
eight or nine in which I wore an apple green tutu and a brown hat with a wide
brim. I don't remember what I was dressed up to be. There must have been at
least ten girls in that particular dance. Mother made my costume and several of
the others in the production. She was a great seamstress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The class of
1956 had Baccalaureate there. I believe our entire class went there for a
viewing of "Romeo and Juliet" when the entire class was reading it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Robinson

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">While many will remember the Robinson Grand for
movies, I remember it as the place my brief musical comedy acting career took
place. Somehow, I was part of a theater group that did the original play
"Rarely Does the Butler Ever Do It". I played the young protege to
the detective who was the star. My big number was "I want to be like
Mike". The show ran three nights. I think we had maybe 100 people to see
the show. When I got to Marshall, I did a few plays, but never again did I do a
musical. When I packed to move to North Carolina 12 years ago I found the music
to show. I probably should have kept it......but! Out it went. Ahhhh memories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I think the Mystery picture is the
Robinson Grand Theater. If so, Madge Douds was manager and a second cousin of
my dad’s. She was Madge Stout when she first went to work for Mr. Robinson. He
owned the Moores’ Opera House also and she used to sell the tickets in that
little cubicle in the front. My brothers and I would spend Saturday afternoons
there. John Wayne was in the serial that would be on each Saturday and I
remember he played "El Shaytan" the main character in that particular
serial. Then Madge moved over to the Robinson Grand where tickets were now a
quarter. Also, when I was a little girl the Robinson Grand would have Cooking
Schools on a night during the week to help teach how to prepare healthy meals.
My mother attended one night and won the door prize!! She was thrilled as she
said she never won anything ever. I don't know what the door prize was but she
was tickled to death</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<u>S&H</u> Green Stamps? They began in 1896 and 80 percent of households
used them. They were highly prized and many items could be bought by saving the
stamps, filling the proper books and trading them in to pay for selected
merchandise from their display or their catalog. </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Some people
had many books of them. Merchants promoted them. </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I remember
having some books. They still exist.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">From Roleta: I
remember saving the stamps, pasting them in the S&H books. I remember
looking through their catalog and selecting a needed item and saving the
required number of books to redeem for my prize. One could purchase almost
anything with the stamps. I do remember purchasing a picnic basket once and
another time I redeemed stamps for a prized white dirty clothes hamper with a
lid. I needed the items and they were basically FREE! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I received emails from Mexico,
Washington, DC and Israel clamoring for the delayed Kindle version of this most
recent memoir-fiction installment – and, it’s finally out there. However, I
prefer the paperback -- a book you hold-in-your-hand -- and what's more, I
can’t bring myself to listen to the read-aloud-to-you Kindle Fire narrated by a
mysterious voice called “Alexa." I'm still a tad old fashioned. Alas, it's
too soon for reviews, but I'm grateful for favorable feedback on the novel's
cover--a fair start. Paesanos, I'm grateful to be from Washington Irving and
complimented to be a reader of the W.I. Newsletter. </span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Thank you for your persistence in getting my brother's
obit in the newsletter. I am sorry it caused you a problem, but I do know that
there are people who will see it and appreciate knowing his fate. As I approach
80, I think occasionally about friends from my past - people I knew and loved,
but have lost track of. And when I die I would like them to know about it. But
except for the WI people (thanks to the newsletter), many will never know I am
gone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Interestingly, John and Barbara Burnside were good
friends and had been talking to each other on the phone for the last few years.
I see that she preceded him in death by about ten days. He had, about a year
ago, lost her phone number and became convinced that she was dead (he suffered
from cognitive problems). I was able to get her phone number for him and they
talked one last time last winter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">A couple of things in the October newsletter jogged my
memories--<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Andersons Restaurant for one. During my high school
days, I mostly went home for lunch, but towards the end of junior year and more
in senior year a group of us would often eat lunch downtown. Our favorite was
Rexall's where we loved the chili Rufus made (and we loved Rufus!). If I
remember correctly, the chili was twenty-five cents a bowl. I have spent years
trying to duplicate Rufus's chili - I can't do it! But occasionally we would go
to Andersons. I think it was considerably more expensive to eat there, and also
slower service, so we did not go often. I do not remember the sandwich Arreta
is trying to remember at Andersons - what I do remember was a hot meatloaf
sandwich that I think I always had when we went there. It was wonderful!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">And do you remember when Wells Haymaker and the drug
store across the street (can't remember its name) served sandwiches? They made
a grilled cheese that was served so flat from the sandwich maker that it was
barely a quarter of an inch thick. I loved those, too, and also loved the dill
pickles served with the sandwiches.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">And then there was Woolworth's with their candied
apples in the Fall! Wonderful cinnamon flavored bright red hard candy coating
on a nice crisp fall apple. MMM-MM! I can still taste them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Dave's place, Candy Land, the East End lunch (best hot
dogs in town), Hagan's (ice cream!), the Home Industry--wasn't that the name of
the bakery that was located on the first floor of the Golf Building on Main
Street? And does anyone remember Russel's - the restaurant was only there for a
couple of years (probably because of its location which was out of the main
stream)-Russel Lopez had a wonderful restaurant on the north-east corner of E.
Main Street and Buckhannon Pike in about 1951 and 52. I remember hearing
Frankie Laine sing Ghost Riders in the Sky from the juke box while eating ice
cream at Russels. If you could eat a whole one of his banana splits, you got a
certificate declaring "I was a pig at Russels"--a much desired trophy
for the older boys in our neighborhood!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">On another tack, I was interested in my friend Mary
Beth Jeranko's note to Bill. She's right about women and sports --- but I do
think that had much to do with our particular era -- my mother graduated from
WI in 1919 (I think) and at that time WI had a girls’ basketball team on which
my Mother played. And I think they played other schools--although I am not
certain of that. Maybe some of our other readers would know. And Mother
remembered using the swimming pool at the high school--if not for her telling
me about that I would never have known that the school had a pool. We girls
(Mary Beth and I and others) who were able to ride on a regular basis were very
fortunate to have that opportunity. We actually had a "Mounted"
senior Girl Scout Troop, thanks to Mrs. Furbee, and Mrs. Jeranko and Georgia
Hess. (God bless those Mothers!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">About the mystery picture for October- I can't say
that I recognize it, but the only place in the Clarksburg I knew in the fifties
that this could be would be the Robinson Grand. So, is that it? Guess I'll find
out in the next newsletter!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Thank you so much for sharing your memories. I remember several of the things
you mentioned. And I had forgotten some them so thank you for jogging my memory
some, this doesn’t happen enough. I wish more people would try to help me
remember. I do remember those delicious Woolworth candied apples. I remember
getting off the bus in the morning before school and some of us would go into
Anderson’s for a cup of coffee. Probably all we could afford; however, I have
always hated coffee so I drank a coke. Boy, didn’t we think we were “the cat’s
meow” sitting in Anderson’s with all those grownups who were stopping in there
before lunch. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Merendino Kane (a classmate of mine) wrote to me for the first time and I wrote
to ask her where she lived and what she had been doing since high school. She
was kind enough to write back… thus a subject for the newsletter. (of course, I

worked as a basic skills teacher in Jefferson High School, then earned

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I wrote Cat’s Meow in a letter above and it made me think of all
those weird sayings that we grew up hearing all of our lives in Clarksburg but
we never seem to hear them very often anymore. Every once in a while, I will
use one of those terms around my grandchildren and they just snicker at me.
Does this ever happen to you? What kinds of things like this do you remember
hearing that you no longer hear? What did was the true meaning of the saying? What
are these things called? Any English teachers reading this who can help me with
this? Oh, one that Bill has made famous in the family is ---“Six of one and
half a dozen of the other”. The kids will smile and say, “That doesn’t make
sense as it’s the same.” Now write some of those things that you remember
hearing or using:</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">After the sudden demise of Brooks Gainer's wife, the
day after our 1961 class reunion dinner gave me a lot to think about. One of
those things is how we wait until someone passes before we celebrate their
lives. I would like to suggest that we open a new column in the <b><i>WI
Newsletter</i></b>, celebrating lives of classmates while they're still with
us, so they'll know how much we appreciate them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">To that end, I would like to celebrate<b> Karen
Pleasant Booker</b>, Class of 1961. When we were at WI, Karen was a beautiful
young lady, and she's a beautiful woman now. If ever the words
"grace" and "dignity" applied to anyone, they surely apply
to Karen, whose carriage and life embody those terms. While we were in high
school, Karen's leadership in Tri-Hi-Y, Athena, National Honor Society and
B-Square was rewarded by her election to 25 Seniors Most Likely to Succeed. And
succeed she did, with a remarkable career at FEMA, the Federal Emergency
Management Administration, traveling far and wide to help those in need after
disasters. She was active in her church and in Toastmasters, being elected to
local and national leadership roles. Throughout, she found time to raise a
flourishing family and to care for her mother, who has lived with her for some
years now. I have had the privilege of seeing Karen now and then when I'm in
the Washington, DC area. She's still fun, smart, thoughtful and a darn good
cook! I'm sure others can write more about her, but I wanted to get the ball
rolling to celebrate Karen's life while we're all still on this earth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I look forward to the newsletter each month. You and your sister do such
a good job with it and I appreciate the time you put into it. I moved from Clarksburg
to NC in l969 and when I read the newsletter can see things I had forgotten,
for instance the apartments to the left before going up the hill to WI. I rode
the city bus to WI from Stealey and got off near Anderson Restaurant on Main
St. Don't ever remember eating at that restaurant. Enjoyed hot dogs on 4th street
(I think name was Cook's) and a place on the side road left of the court house.
Going to town on Saturdays something to look forward to and also taking my
sister to the Saturday movie matinees. Just some random thoughts coming to
mind. At WI I remember in October tv in the auditorium showing World Series,
liked the Yankees and Mickey Mantle, guess we could check on games between
classes.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Enjoyed high school. Worked (not sure if after each school day or on
Saturdays too) for Mirth Kuhl, don't remember his title other than Justice of
the Peace, I recorded cases in "docket books". His office on the alley
by the Court House (Court St.?) I received a certificate as a senior for the
highest grades in Commercial courses i.e.: typing and shorthand, Mr. Hall our
teacher. I took a government test before graduation and was supposed to go to
DC with Mary Jo Pulice. She went and I didn't. I was dating my future husband
at the time. Mary Jo visited me once in NC years ago, when in my town for
business working for IBM at the time I believe.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My first "real" job out of high school was secretary at Harry
Green Chevrolet on Pike Street. I wasn't there long, next I moved to Mutual
Fire Insurance Company on Main St., the building to the right of Court House.
While there, I typed policies and my shorthand came in handy for those who
needed letters done. I was always nervous when called into highest official's
office to take dictation.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My main reason for writing, you asked to write about dating and meeting
our spouses. I was a junior in Mr. Hall's typing class, my future husband, Lee
Berkley was a senior in that class. (He was known as “Jr”. in high school.) I
was interested in him but he didn't ask me out until right after his graduation.
I was an upcoming senior. He went to Fairmont State for a while, decided it
wasn't for him and began working for Orkin Exterminating. In the meantime, his
parents moved to St. Pete, Florida and he stayed in Clarksburg. Interesting his
parents only bought a 2-bedroom house in Florida one for them, the other for
Jr.'s sister. We married Aug. 31, 1962 at Clarksburg Baptist Church. Sarah
Gervella was our aid of honor. and Jr Waugh was our best man. We had an apartment
rented on Lee Ave. Right before marrying, Junior had quit the job at Orkin, we
drove to his parents in Florida the day after our wedding at Clarksburg Baptist
Church. Sarah Gervella was our maid of honor, and Junior Waugh was our best
man. We stayed a week in Florida and went back to Clarksburg where my husband immediately
got a job with Western Electric, and traveled a lot. After 7 yrs., my friend
had moved to NC for husband's job with GTE phone company (later called Verizon,
now Frontier Communications) and said we should check it out. We did and moved
to NC as I said in April, 1969 with a 6-yr. old son, 13-month-old daughter and
one due that Sept. Young people can sure take chances. Good choice, although
husband still traveled some until retirement in 2004. We have been here 48
years and just celebrated 55 years of marriage. I hope this isn't boring or too
much information. Be careful what you ask for Roleta, slow Saturday afternoon
today, and lots of past memories.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

but what evening would be complete without a Twin Oaks hoagie? Also, I went to
a lot of dances at places like Bridgeport Civic Center, Moose, Elks, Episcopal
Parish House, Lake Floyd, Maple Lake, VFW and perhaps others I cannot remember.
I did date several WI girls while at WI, one or two Victory girls and even a
couple of Bridgeport girls along the way. Did not meet my wife until I went to
work in Kingsport, TN for Tennessee Eastman Co. Interestingly I met her on a
'blind' date also, she was a 'blind' date for a friend of mine visiting from
Clarksburg!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and a coke were about it. Sometimes we just stayed at the girl’s house. These
dates were one or two dollars at the most, including bus fare. After a car was
available a whole new world opened up. Of course, theaters were still in the
mix, but drive ins were now available. Afterward there were several options,
Green Parrot, Friends and Willow Beach. Of course, you did not have to go to
the movies first. Some-times we would hit several “road houses” in one night.
These dates were generally more expensive, up to five bucks or so, including
gas and “juke box”. Sometimes an all-day date would be a trip of some kind,
Audra State Park for example. Before I had access to a car, movies and a coke

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The favorite places that I can remember going when I
was dating "back in the days" was the downtown movie theaters (Robinson
Grand and Ritz) or the Ellis Drive-In. I do not remember any of the movies that
I went to these places to see, but that was probably because I had other things
on my mind. We used to go to the Benedum Civic Center in Bridgeport on Saturday
nights for dancing, but I do not remember ever taking a girl there on a
"date". We met our girlfriends there, and at intermission, Bill Post
and I would take our "ladies" to the Parkette on Bridgeport Hill for
a snack. We also followed the "meet you there" logic going to dances
in downtown Clarksburg on Friday nights, at places like the Elks and Moose
Clubs. Funny thing is that I do not remember actually taking a girl out on a
date for just going to dinner. I did not marry someone that I met while I was
in high school, as I moved away from Clarksburg before I thought I was of the
marrying age.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

cute and a little taller than me---a lot smarter. We dated for a short time
when we were freshman (she dumped me for some hot shot red headed kid). We
reconnected late in our junior year and eventually got married while attending
WVU (we actually eloped with another couple). This past May, we celebrated our
57th anniversary. I had a 38-year career with J.C. Penney, got an early
retirement offer in `97 and we retired to Morgantown July `98.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a movie at Ellis Drive In. The pizza was the best and we always got a fountain

best pizza ever! Unfortunately, no Ellis Drive In---we sure saw some great
movies on those dates---wink! wink!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

minor mention in our local paper, The Dominion Post. However, on the sports

name did get mentioned---in small print at the end of the article.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Bill requested that I write about my hole in one! I think he
is talking about my first one. You see I have had 2. The story about my first
one is a good story that I have told a lot so I am going to start by telling
you about my HOLE IN ONE #2. On September 23, 2014, Bill and I were playing golf
at Harbor Hills Country Club in Hebron, Ohio. Of course, it was a Par 3 on the
third hole, 113 yards long from the women’s tee. I hit a rescue club and, as
Bill and I watched, the ball sailed through the air perfectly, then it hit the
green and rolled out of site. I was upset as the green is slopped to the back
and I figured the ball had rolled off and down the bank into the rough. So, we
drove the cart up to the green and walked all over the bank of rough behind the
green, and couldn’t find the ball. I walked up and looked in the cup and
yelled---HOLE IN ONE! Boy, what fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Now, let me tell you about the first Hole and One I had. (The
story Bill likes for me to tell) On May 16, 2009, I was golfing with my friend,
Jilly, at Laurel Oak Country Club in Sarasota, Florida, where we live. It was
on hole number 6, a Par 3 on the East Course. One has to hit the ball over a
lake, then a sand trap onto the green. More balls go into those hazards than
ever land on the green. So, I hit a nice high ball with my 9 iron and it
carried the lake and the trap and landed on the green. It then began to roll
toward the hole. Jilly and I screamed as it went into the hole. We danced, we
hugged, it was so exciting. I had never even seen a hole in one (other than on
TV). My husband nor son had ever had one. Jilly and I climbed into the golf
cart and drove over to the green and I took my iPhone to the hole and took a picture
of the ball in the hole, just to keep the picture to remind me of that day! We
finished the front nine (I was so nervous about my triumph that I didn’t score
well) and I called Bill to tell him I had a Hole in One. He has never had one.
He was very happy for me. Then I called our son, who at the time had about a 6
handicap and had never had a Hole in One either. Of course, my call went to
voice mail, I wanted to tell him, not tell his voice mail, so I told him it was
really important that he call me immediately. After all of this excitement, we went
into the Pro Shop to tell the pros about my great accomplishment. My son did
return my call, but didn’t get me as I was in the pro shop. He called his dad
to see what the emergency was as he was afraid Bill had a health problem. Bill
told Victor, “Your mom had a Hole-in-One.’ Victor’s reply was, “That Bi<i>***</i>h!” So; Bill called me laughing and
told me how our son had reacted. We both laughed. I wasn’t upset at all. In
fact. I took out my trusty camera and brought up the picture of my ball down in
the cup at the end of my Hole in One and emailed the picture to Victor. My
message was, HERE IS WHAT A HOLE-IN-ONE LOOKS LIKE IF YOU EVER GET ONE! I got
the last laugh!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I would bet many of those who predicted the season
record feel the same way. Of course, as I write this, we are 5-2, with a tough
one coming up against Oklahoma State. This game will probably define the rest
of the season. As bad as the defense was in the 4th quarter at Waco, I tried to
watch our defensive line play. I saw a lot of holding by the Baylor
"O" line that was never called. I'm not one to complain about the
refs, but something wasn't quite right in that game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

all things Appalachian and was an avid quilter. For many years, she was a
member of the Fort New Salem Quilting Ladies who gathered weekly to demonstrate
their craft at the restored site. And books…. ahhhh, she loved books.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

we are not teenagers who worry about what our "friends" think or that
anyone but God needs to pass judgment on our actions. If you want to send
Roleta something for the Newsletter then do it. There are plenty of us who
would be interested in what you have to say. At our age we should be living our

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The only job I had
while in high school other than baby sitting was at Williams Jewelry Store. I
worked there the Christmas season of my senior year. It was my job to keep the
display cases free of finger prints, gift wrapping and to run errands. Now two
of our best friends are Bob and Barb Williams, both WI graduates, who live in
the same retirement community as we do. Small world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I have been wanting to tell you about one of
my childhood friends, Betsy Bartlett Davis. We grew up together, started to
Morgan School together and graduated from WI together in 1940. I hope there are
others who graduated that year who will write when they see this I would like
to know as they may write to you with memories also. Betsy had Miss Thomas for
her first-grade teacher while I was over on the other side of the hall with
Miss Carpenter. Betsy lived on McDowell St across the alley from where I lived
on Stealey Ave. She had several brothers and sisters and I remember one of her
oldest brothers was a Page Boy in Congress. When we graduated, Betsy went to
West Liberty College to become a Dental Hygienist and she was the very first
Dental Hygienist in Clarksburg. It was in the newspaper about her as that was a
very new profession for people. She married Marlo Davis who also graduated from
WI in 1940. I hope she will write to you as I know she will have lots of
memories, too. She did not know about the Newsletter until I told her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Didn't see any mention of the Skyline
drive-in on Rt 19 south. Living in Stealey, it was our closest drive-in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia, utopia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Skyline was owned by Sam Caputo. Before
he bought it he owned Caputo's Grocery which was on Pike St near where it
joined Main St at west end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia, utopia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Skyline was on top of a hill that had
had the top cut off for strip mining coal. It had a very big screen which
occasionally got damaged by wind storms. Beautiful place to watch a sunset.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia, utopia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Sam had been our grocer for many years. That
was in the day when they delivered and if you had meat or milk and weren't
home, you just left the back door unlocked and the delivery guy put your cold
items in your fridge for you! Imagine that today?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia, utopia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">So, being former customers, if Sam was
manning the ticket booth that night, he often just waived us thru no charge!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia, utopia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I got to know the projectionist and he
taught me how to run the big carbon arc projectors needed to fill the huge
screen. Occasionally I filled in for him if he had to leave early. Of course,
not many of the "customers" were really watching the movie after
about 11pm anyway! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

worked in show production for several Theme Parks over the years. If you have
any current info on the remodeling of the Robinson Grand, please send it along.
Hope they can bring it up to it's former glory. My late wife, Joyce Scolish (WI
64 also) danced on that stage when she was in high school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I loved going to
drive-ins. One of my girlfriends and I would make a game of sneaking in. I'd
put her in the trunk of the car and pay for just one admission. We nearly got
busted several times from laughing so hard as I was paying at the gate. We'd
take lots of food and sit on the hood of the car to watch the movie. After I
got married I tried to talk my wife into sneaking in but she'd have nothing to
do with that. It wasn't as much fun!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Another super duper
newsletter and I am amazed at all the work everyone goes to for all of us. Tim
Cork, you are simply “the best”!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">When I read the
movie comments in the September Newsletter I was compelled to write a quick
memory. We have just seen the movie “The Glass Castle”. As some people know, I
was raised in Beverly, W.Va. My best friends were the middle three girls in a
family of 12 children and two adults. They lived in a ramshackle old place with
an outhouse falling over the bank by the railroad tracks. When I would spend
the night, we all four girls slept on the same bed. There was a bottom sheet
with a blanket to throw over the top of us. Their mother was an accomplished
pianist (there was a broken down piano there but I never heard it played) and
drank from morning to night. The father worked on a road crew somewhere and did
not miss his “hooch” at night either. I have so many memories of that family
but the one my mother told for years was waiting behind my friend, Kathleen (12
years old at the time) who was buying some meat for their dinner. When the man
behind the counter asked her what she needed Kathleen said a QUARTER of a pound
of hamburger. My mother asked her what her mother was going to fix with it.
Kathleen looked at my mother, rolled her eyes and replied, “Spanish Rice---again!”
A little post script about those children. All twelve came through that
childhood to become a nurse, a minister, a business man, a career serviceman---truly
successful in so many ways. Three met untimely deaths as young adults. I really
loved that family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; font-family: georgia, utopia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The book and the movie
were wonderful (maybe I liked the book a little better). Woody Harrelson’s
acting is superb and the W.Va. setting is so like many I knew as a child. It is
not an easy movie to see, but the story is a true one of how the will to
survive and then succeed in life is astounding!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">I lived for a few years in
the country outside of Wilsonburg. Back then I earned money picking berries and
working on farms in the cornfields and hayfields. On Saturdays, I would catch
the bus in Wilsonburg and go to town and go to the movies. My favorite thing
was to go to Moore's Opera House to see the cowboy shows, cartoons, and the
ongoing serials of the day. Sometimes I might splurge and go the Ritz or
Robinson Grand, but my budget usually limited me to the Moore's Opera House. If
I was really flush with money, I would go to Harbert's Drug Store (my Aunt
worked there) for a milkshake!!</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“My mother lived in
Clarksburg for many years and was involved in so many things. I have been going
through a lot of her things and have found much interesting info about
Clarksburg. My father, grandfather and great grandfather were architects in
Clarksburg who designed or assisted in the design of many of the buildings; the
Harrison County Court House, the Ritz, the Robinson Grand, Bridgeport High
School and addition to Washington Irving to name a few. Mom’s father and
brother, Brownie Burnside and Cappy Burnside were also very active in
Clarksburg over the years. My Aunt Virginia Wood was an artist in Clarksburg.
She worked at James and Law for many years and designed the Clarksburg seal.
Since I have so many items that are important from an historical standpoint, I
have been giving those things to James Swiger who now owns the business my
father started, WYK Associates. They are now key in the renovation of the
Robinson Grand Theater.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

our graduating class? (If you know, write to Roleta1)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was wondering if
anyone remembers how good the food was at Anderson's restaurant. The cost of
eating there was more than I ever could afford but when I did splurge I
remember their delicious Anderson's special sandwich. It had a name and I can't
remember it. Maybe someone can help me out. What I remember is my brother
Darrell (WI class of 1944) had a best friend whose aunt owned Anderson's. His
name was Harry Johnson. After school Harry and my brother would go down to
Anderson's and work for Harry's aunt doing chores and helping her get ready for
the dinner hour. Darrell was my youngest brother and he was last to be drafted
for World War II. Our brother Carris had called Darrell "Jughaid" one
time when they both were still at Morgan School and their friends all started
calling Darrell "Jug" as it stuck. Anyway, sometimes at home we would
have the foods that were on the Anderson sandwich and Darrell would make it for
himself and me. It was so good. I would like to have one now so if anyone knows
what went on it, I would sure like to know. Darrell ended up at West Point and
Harry became a minister serving a church out West someplace. Amazing the things
that come back to our memory, Roleta.</span></div>

about the West Virginia Book Tour. I have to say that it went much better than
anticipated. I had to order more books twice to keep from running out. I wrote
blog posts as I went along, including pictures. Readers can follow by going to<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="color: #333333;">nancyswing.com</span> and clicking
on "Blog" in the upper right corner of the home page. They'll find a

News," including a long one from Clarksburg. </span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">And
again another successful WI Annual Picnic is in the books. We had a total of 58
in attendance from as far away as California, Virginia, Florida, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Ohio. It's amazing that we saw
more coming from out of state than from in state. We have secured the Osborne
Pavilion again for next year on August 25, 2018, so mark your calendars and
make your reservations to be here.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">When I first saw the
August Mystery Pic, I thought that it might be the Hazel Atlas, but three
things kept me from responding with an answer. ONE: I could not imagine where
the picture was taken from, as I lived on Broaddus Avenue and looked out at the
Hazel Atlas many, many times, and I just cannot see anything that would be
above the plant. TWO: I could not figure out where the expressway came into the
picture, as I can not visualize where the expressway intersection that is
included in the picture is, or the location of the expressway in conjunction
with the Hazel Atlas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

there for 33 years until he retired. I live in North View so I am very familiar

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">In the September issue, you asked if anyone had
memories of the Union Carbide plant in Anmoore. I certainly do. My dad worked
at the Union Carbide plant from 1942 to 1974 as a machinist. It was tough,
heavy, dirty work, but the pay was pretty good. Dad usually worked morning
shifts, which meant getting up at 5 a.m. In the winter or when he had the flu
or a bad cold, getting up early on a cold morning and going to work at the
drafty Union Carbide factory had to be tough. Also, it was so smoky in the
plant that my dad's sinuses were always clogged up, which caused him a good
deal of misery. Not only did the work involve a lot of heavy lifting it was
also very noisy there. Dad lost some of his hearing at work. I worked at the
factory one summer when I was in college and recall there were certain parts of
the factory that were so loud you couldn't hear a guy standing next to you
unless he shouted. But there were a lot of good things about the Union Carbide.
They did their best to keep their workers safe. It was easy to get hurt there
with all of the dangerous machinery and heavy lifting. The only time Dad lost
time due to a work injury was when he dropped a 50 pound piece of carbon on his
foot and broke it. But, one injury in 32 years is pretty good because I recall
from working there that were many, many ways to get hurt and some accidents were
almost inevitable. The folks that worked there have my respect because I still
remember that working 8 hours at the factory was exhausting. Some good memories
of the Union Carbide include summer picnics for employees and their families,
Christmas parties that drew hundreds of people, and the factory bowling league
Dad belonged to. I used to love to go to Compton Lanes and watch the men from
the different divisions compete. I was a little boy. To keep me amused, Dad
taught me how to keep score, so I kept his score for him (the unofficial score
of course). He was pretty good as were several other guys in the factory's
bowling league. Most importantly, Dad made dozens and dozens of friends during
his 32 years at the Union Carbide plant and remained friends with many of them
long after he retired. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Carbon for 25 years in the plant, and would have worked there for more
years than that except for his passing away. My aunt worked at the Carbon for
30 years in the office area, and retired from there. My brother worked at the
Carbon on a 5-year scholarship deal with Virginia Tech. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I worked there for 3
months, and if I had known what Sutter Roofing had in mind for me when I went
to work for them in 1962, I would never have worked there. I took a job with
Sutter Roofing during the summer of 1962, trying to decide whether I wanted to
go back to Fairmont State College or just go into the work environment. The
only decision that I made via working at the Carbon was that I NEVER WANTED TO
WORK IN A PLACE THAT DIRTY, HOT, FILTHY, OR DARK. Sutter Roofing had been
contracted to make some improvements in a section of the plant that put me in
that area. I swore after that 3 months of working at the Carbon that I would
never work in that type of environment again. AND, I have not. I came to the
Washington, D.C. area (following my stint at the Carbon to "visit" my
sister (Lib) and her husband and daughter. I was planning to just stay two
weeks, and then I was going back to C-burg to seek employment somewhere outside
of the Carbon. Well, I looked in the Washington Post newspaper, found a job in
D.C., and I have been living in this area ever since. AND, never again working
in conditions like I worked in at the Carbon. The Carbon was a big part of my
life growing up, but I have to appreciate what my father, aunt and brother (and
others) did working there.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">My dad, Stan Jeranko, was the referee for the Globetrotters when
they came to town. My brother and I were
discussing this just a week or so ago. He thinks that the 1941 date sounds
about right. Satchel Paige also played in Clarksburg, and dad refereed for his
baseball game. Dad and Press Maravich were good friends and the loss of Pete
early in life was a blow to all who knew him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The reason women of a certain age don’t write about sports is
that many of us didn’t have opportunities to do anything other than swim during
high school. Mary Stump Harrel, Louanna
Furbee and I rode horseback almost every weekend, which I still do 3 times a
week at 80. I lost a beloved horse to a pasture accident last year (you can see
his picture on my Facebook page) and I was ready to hang up my spurs, when my
son encouraged me to continue riding. Can’t tell you how grateful I am to still
be able to be active.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I have always loved to hike, but women in the ’50’s just didn’t
run very often, and it wasn’t until I moved to Alaska that I learned to ski,
ride in an okio (Japanese sled) and run. It was a sad day when I was told that
running was not good for aging hips. I started running in my 30’s and ran until
my 70’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Over the years, I have rappelled down into caves, gone white
water rafting, hot air ballooning, gliding, flying into bush Alaska and other
adventures that were only the stuff of dreams for girls in the 1950’s, Young
women have many more possibilities for activities now, so if you have the
opportunity to try something challenging or scary, Say Yes! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">First, let me tell you how glad we are to hear from you. As we
have said, very few women write to us about sports. You are correct that there
were few sports offered to young women in high school in the 50's. In fact,
there were no organized sports for girls at my high school. The closest thing
to it was the "Class Tournaments" in basketball. It wasn't really
basketball as we know it today, but the old style "girls’ game"
played back then.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in a wonderful country, which offers numerous opportunities to enjoy the

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I can remember going to WI High School basketball games at the
Carmichael with my Dad before the Nathan Goff National Guard Armory was built.
It took a lot to keep my Dad from attending Hilltopper sporting events and he
always offered to take me along. And that was also where I first saw the famous
Harlem Globetrotters, again with my Dad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">After the high school games were moved to the Armory, I remember
going to the Carmichael to roller skate with classmates and friends from Morgan
Grade School on the weekends, which continued off and on through high school.
We had a Junior Class (?) skating party there and Mr. Frederick, one of the
class sponsors, was prepared with an ornately decorated pillow with ties that
allowed him to tie it on to protect his posterior region for the inevitable
fall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I also seem to remember the Union Carbide Employee & Family
Christmas Party being held at the Carmichael with Ike Skidmore bringing Santa
Claus to life with a "Ho, ho, ho” that filled the hall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I continued to attend WI basketball games at the NG Armory and
went to see the Globetrotters there each time they came to town. Those guys,
led by Meadowlark Lemon, did antics and moves that were absolutely unheard of
on the court at that time (with due respect to Rodney “Hot Rod” Hundley, who
put on a great show of his own on the Mountaineer court).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Both the Carmichael Auditorium and the Harlem Globetrotters

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Fast forward 45 years and the Globetrotters were coming to
Charleston, WV Civic Center. I asked my oldest grandson (who was 6-7 years old)
if he would like to go see them, to which he said, yes, with enthusiasm. That
was five years ago and Carter and I go to Charleston for dinner and The Harlem
Globetrotters each spring.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">What wonderful memories. They remind me of what America used to
be, when a father taking their sons and daughters to sporting events was the
norm. I don't see as much of that today, but you are the exception. I think it
is a healthy practice and brings families closer together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">WI was like many schools in the area. They didn't play their
home basketball games "on campus", but used another local facility. Can
anyone tell us when this changed? Did the Hilltoppers ever play home games at
the high school? I'm sure Freddie Layman (VHS 1945) could have told us, if he
were still with us, but perhaps there are other "history buffs" out
there, who can find this information for us. Is it in the W I History? Also,
did Victory and RW play at Carmichael Auditorium?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Finally, Wade, I agree that Meadowlark Lemon was a great
entertainer, but I also remember Goose Tatum, who preceded Meadowlark with the
Trotters. Those of you who don't remember "Goose", should check out
his career online. He was the ultimate athlete.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">We often ask our readers for suggestions on
subjects for the newsletter. John Teter, (WI 1961), suggested we start a
"Hole-In-One-Club". Basically, what we would like to know is whether
or not you have ever had a hole-in-one on a standard golf course (Not
putt-putt). I am one of those golfers who have been playing golf for over 60
years, but I have yet to score an ace on a hole. My wife, on the other hand,
has only been playing golf for 15-20 years and has two holes-in-one. She has a
good story about getting her first one, which I hope she will share with our
readers.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">So, how about you, have you ever had one? If
so, how many? Where were you playing? Was it a "pure" shot or did you
top it and it rolled all the way to the hole? Or, are you like me, "High
and dry"?</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I like Coach Holgorsen. He wasn’t treated well when he was hired
and too many people still see him as an “outsider” after all these years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">So, he has a lot of passion and gets angry during games. A
writer to the newsletter last week said he won’t watch the WVU football games
because of that. I hope that he doesn’t watch the WVU basketball games because
Huggy Bear loses it now and then, but Coach Huggins happens to be “one of us.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">This same writer said that Dana Holgorsen wasn’t a leader like
West Virginia born and bred coaches Rich Rodriquez, Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban
were. There’s no denying that Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban are leaders in every
respect, but please, Rich Rodriquez? That guy sold us out, ran away in the dead
of night and is everything that a leader is not. Also, talk about being angry
on the sidelines. Rodriquez rants and raves, yells at his players and is just
not nice. I’ll take Holgorsen over him any given day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Coach Holgorsen is the leader of the WVU Football Mountaineers. Let’s
give him, the players and the coaches our full support.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I've never been a big fan of Dana Holgorsen. However, I am a big
fan of WVU, regardless of who is coaching them. As I've mentioned before, a lot
of emotion was involved in his hiring. I'm sure all fans will recall the
circumstances when he replaced Bill Stewart. You were almost forced to take sides.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Many fans have not gotten over how Stewart was treated, after
three consecutive 9-4 seasons and blame it all on Dana Holgorsen and Oliver
Luck. Luck is gone and mostly forgotten, but most of his legacy remains. He and
Dana used to share the "hate", but now Holgorsen has it all to
himself. When will it end? Probably not until WVU has an undefeated season
under the current staff. Even then, being human, some will never like him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Clarksburg Victory by Bobby Bowden at Hite Field following their game with
Buckhannon in 1966. He's also the last player from Clarksburg to score a
touchdown.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Thank you for writing to us about your husband, Tom. You were
the only person to write about WVU football players from Clarksburg. I did see
that George Stehl also played from 2002-2005. If the list is correct, he was
the last player, who called Clarksburg home, to appear on a WVU roster. The
earliest player listed is Thomas Lang, who played from 1899-1900. I can't
imagine what the uniforms looked like back then.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I learned an interesting fact while researching this. The 1897
football roster included one Matthew Mansfield Neely, from Fairmont. When I was
a young man, Neely was just below Franklin Roosevelt in popularity in our area
of West Virginia. Some of you will remember him as the only West Virginian to
ever serve in both houses of the U.S. Congress and as Governor of the state. Also,
radio station WMMN in Fairmont is named after him. That is our history lesson
for today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

College. She traveled to many beautiful and interesting places and loved to
make unique arts and crafts and for many years knitted caps for children in the
hospital. She was a longtime member of the Central Christian Church (Disciples

pleasure in the simple things. She loved bacon, ice cream, and chocolate, but vegetables
not so much. She graciously gave her wise and sage advice when asked, but you
may not necessarily have liked what she told you (it was always spot on right).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">When she was 106 years old, I had the good
fortune of spending almost one hour with her on the phone. I will never forget
how kind she was by sharing her life story with me. She told me stories about her childhood,
stories like, who her favorite teachers were in school and as a young girl,
watching as bricklayers pave the street in front of her Stealey home. She told
me how she met her husband Emil Gibson and what a wonderful marriage they had
together. She even shared her secret to longevity and the foods she loved most.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">My good fortune struck again when I met her

going to try to get me lost or pull jokes on me but that was some of the fun.
No one was nasty.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">One question I asked last month was to see
what you remembered about the first floor of WI. Many of us had different
teachers. Many of us took different courses so we knew a few rooms better than others.
If you didn’t write, here is your chance to catch up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the front door by going up the front steps (which were reserved for upper class
people) starting as you turn left (or right) whichever you prefer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

entrance to the auditorium, girls steps to the left, boys steps to the right.
Turning left, the last classroom on the left is the domicile of “Bugsy” Dumire
Biology teacher. Turning right from the front door, the last classroom on the
right was Mrs. Williams Social Science classroom, I think<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mr. Duckworth’s Physics Lab. was to the right. Each were at the end of the

rest of the classroom lay out I’m sketchy about. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Entering the first floor of WI by going up the outside senior
steps, I have to climb some steps to get to the first floor. Straight ahead on
the left is the girls locker room and on the right is the boys locker room, I
turn left, I am sure there are a couple of classrooms there but I never had a
class in one of those rooms, I think I ate my sack lunch from home in there one
once. There has to be a room in the front corner beside the side door because I
remember there was a little room off there that had a glass wall and windows
like where they would grow plants? Now I turn to my right and the first
classroom on my left is a cooking classroom with stoves and refrigerator, I
think the teacher was Mrs. Riley but I never had a class in there. The wall on
my left between the 2 classrooms on that side are lined with long lockers for
girls (it was like this was the girls hall and seldom did we see a boy in the
hallway. The next classroom on my left as I go to the back of the building is a
sewing room. My senior year I did take a sewing class instead of sitting in a
useless (to me) study hall, although I knew how to sew and made a lot of my own
clothes, Mrs. Jarvis taught me a lot of new things in sewing. I even made new
curtains for the sewing room. After that classroom there was a rest room for
girls of course, then steps down to the back door outside or on to the basement
and on up to the second floor. Now I turn and walk back toward the front door
there were half lockers (one on top of the other) all along the wall on my
left, of course for girls. Then I cross over the main entry area to the other
hallway, I can’t remember if there is a classroom on the right or not, do you?
Tell me if you remember. There is another door to the outside straight ahead. I
turn left into the hallway; there is a room on my right, maybe a band room? Or
maybe it was on the front of the building? Anyway, the lockers line this hall
way the same as in the other hallway that I just left, only these are for boys!
I think the next classroom was for short hand and secretarial classes I don’t
know who taught those classes. The next classroom was for Typing, where I took
Typing 1 taught by Ms. Holland. This class really came in handy when we started
our business 20 years later and I was the only office personnel when we
started. I am not sure what other rooms were down there, except it was probably
a mirror image of the “girls’ hallway” and had a boys bathroom and steps down
to the basement and up to the other outside door and on to the second
floor. Also, above the lockers in this
hallway were pictures of boys dressed in their sports attire. Also there were
glass cabinets that held the trophies held by winning teams. A lot of this
memorable is now located at R.C. Byrd High School in the nice memorial room
they have that is dedicated to WI, RW and I believe Kelly Miller too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

write to the newsletter about the WV Writers Conference held at Cedar Lakes in
June. WI grad Steve Goff (class of ‘72) is president of the West Virginia
Writers, Inc. and was instrumental in organizing the three-day event. Steve is
not the only WI grad to serve as president. Terry McNemar (class of ‘70) also
served as president. This year was a dream come true when I got to attend for
the first time. I led three workshops for fellow writers and was the morning
keynote speaker. WI grad Joe Limer, who is now a professor at Palomar College
in California, led sessions on performance poetry. Those WI English teachers
like Mrs. Genevieve Broughton, Miss Virginia Nutter, and Mrs. Josephine Hutson
had a strong influence on many of us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

younger than I am. Maybe about 15 years younger! Or more!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I’m not sure, but the smoke stack reminds me of the Union
Carbide in Anmoore. My grandfather and my father worked there. It definitely
provided a livelihood for my family and many others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Unfortunately I believe this was before all the safety
provisions now in place for factory workers. I always associate the word “toxic
cloud” when I think of this plant. My father worked in the boiler room, that’s
about all I know.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">My grandfather and father died way too young, due to lung issues
from working there. My father was 67 when he died, I’m older than that now and
it makes me understand how much more life he should have gotten, makes me sad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Sorry this is taking such a dark note- but these are the
feelings this picture evoke for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Well
I guess the strangest job I had was demonstrating a toy that one on the Petetos
invented a toy called the twistaball. You put this belt around your waist ant
it had a string attached to it and the end of the string was a small ball.
Actually, I did the demonstration inside of the Woolworth store. I also stood
on top of the roof at Ellis Drive Restaurant and demoed it there. I had a lot
of fun, but unfortunately it never did take off. Of course, like most girls, I
baby sat. I also raked leaves in the fall, and shoveled snow in winter. I knew
I was going to be in sales someday, because I made tons of pot holders and sold
them door to door for 25 cents each. I lived in Broad Oaks, and my Mom was so
embarrassed she sent me to my Aunts in Stealey. One day in the dead of winter
while on a school break, one woman took pity on me and bought my entire bag. I
was so upset, because I didn't have anymore and had to start making more. I
also taught ballet in my basement to kids in my neighborhood for 25 cents. Well
I ended up being an Interior Designer for over 45 years and still freelance
when I can and of course this is also selling furniture.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Hi Roleta!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Loved the newsletter, as always, and wanted to respond regarding
the summer jobs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I was fortunate to get a job in my Junior and Senior summers
working at the Palace Furniture Company. Mr. Peter Massenberg was a designer
there and I loved how he would help the ladies who came in wanting new draperies,
bedding and the like. I started out to just wait on the customers as they came
to the second floor wanting help, directing them to the proper person/department
and gift wrapping. I loved every minute I was there. We had the kind of
telephone system that was called a switchboard and the lady who ran it most of
the time was named Tess (I can’t believe I remembered her name). She knew I was
hankering to try it so one day she showed me how to plug in one light, answer
the call, then pull out another cord to make the proper connection. I was
hooked! I think I could have done that for the rest of my life that first day.
Some days, when Tess would take a break, she would as me to fill in for her. I
was thrilled......that is until one day there was a long distance call for Mr.
Jarvis (the big boss). I properly handled the connections but when the next
call came in, and it was for the key next to Mr. Jarvis’s, I promptly “pulled
the plug” on Mr. Jarvis! Not the thing to do! It seemed to me that I made
approx. $300.00 each summer which would be the money I used for everything
outside of rent and school for a whole year. Today, since I am still working in
the design field, those times there were a great background for me to have. I
also remember my mother painting a wall mural in Mr. Massenberg’s bedroom. He
had a life partner named Jerry Steiner (I think) and they were both very kind
to me. Good memories!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">From the time I was in Central, I have worked. My parents were
teachers and as you might remember teachers didn’t make too much money. In the
summer, I would baby sit, clean house and even iron for neighbors. I enjoyed
the little bit of change I received. On my birthday, June 22, the summer before
my junior year, I applied and worked at Wunder Shoe Store. Then the next summer
I applied and worked for Lerner’s Dress shop mainly at the cash drawer (they didn’t
use cash registers), the sale was written up on a slip and the money was handed
to me and I made change. At each store, I worked all summer Monday through
Saturday, including Monday evenings, Friday evenings and Saturday 9-5. My feet
were really tired. The summer between my first and second year of college, I
worked on the second floor of Brodias’ selling beautiful dresses. I was told I
would have to wear a dress every day. What 18 year old girl has a dress to wear
every day? So I made myself some dresses. I wore a panty girdle with hooks for
hose---oh what a pain, and expensive to keep replacing the hose when they got a
run. I remember if you were lucky, you could catch the run if it was above the
knee, dab on some clear nail polish to stop the run and the hose could live
another day. I also had to wear high heel shoes and the popular “stylish” heels
were 4” high. My back would ache and my legs ached, but someone must have told
me this trick which I did and it worked. I carried several pairs of dressy shoes
with me in my huge purse each day, the shoes had different height of heels so I
changed often and the change felt so good. I sold dresses, coats, hats and
furs. I even modeled wedding dresses for perspective brides. I was the top
sales person on the second floor for the summer quarter; they offered me a
raise if I would not go back to college and stay there and work for them. I
wasn’t tempted as I knew my parents would have a fit. I enjoyed the world of
sales. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Fragale (WI 1958) weighted in with a caveat. He missed last issue’s deadline
with the recent mention by New York POST columnist Richard Johnson on his new
book. “Jim Fragale who wrote the
novel “The Answer to Life” will have more answers in ‘<i>Seventy-Six Trombones,
Life after Thirty-Nine Made Easy, </i>which he started writing the day after he
turned 76, the same age his father James, Sr. died. Fragale’s new, and third
novel, was inspired by actress Bette Davis, who once said, “Old age is not for
sissies”. The second - titled: “F.U.! (Follow Up)! The Answer to Life
Revisited” - received ten 5-star reviews on amazon.com.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">From: <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Bill Meredith (Monongah HS
1957) </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Although I didn't grow up in Clarksburg, I
think I saw at least one movie at most of the drive in theaters in the area. My
earliest memory of a drive in was the Twilight on SR 73 in Eldora, near
Fairmont. They allowed us to ride our bikes into the lot for free. We stayed
out of the way of the cars and sat on benches at the refreshment stand to watch
the movie. It was a long ride home (about 4-miles) down a very dark country
road, but we enjoyed the whole experience.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">The only other drive in that was in the
Fairmont area was the Starlite on Pleasant Valley Road. I went there
occasionally, but not often. My oldest sister and her date (later, her husband)
always went to the Sunset Theater on USR 19 near Gypsy. Why, I don't know, since
it was a longer drive than going to the local drive ins. They probably didn't
care, since he drove an old pick-up truck, which had a windshield that was
white, except for a small area in front of the driver. I asked them how they
saw the movie, but they just laughed at me for asking. Of course, I was only a
young boy then and was very naive.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">When Roleta and I were dating, we also went to
the Sunset, but we usually chose the Ellis Drive In. It was closer to her home
and near the Twin Oaks and Green Parrot, which we liked. At least once or
twice, we went to one called Snyder's Drive In. I think it was on SR 20 going
toward Buckhannon. I recall that it sat up on a hill well off the road.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">There may have been others, but those are the
ones I remember. I often think about those good old days and wonder where young
people go on dates now that the drive ins are gone. My guess is that they can
hang out just about anywhere, since all I ever see them doing is looking at
their cell phones. My, how times have changed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I want to start with saying thank you for all you do! I know we
should all thank you more regularly and write to you as well. You do an amazing
job!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I wrote once before and asked to be included in the newsletter
mailings. I did not go to WI but if I had it would have been a 1971 graduation.
We left Clarksburg after I finished 6th grade at Morgan Grade School. We lived
in the mid-west for years but I now live in Arizona. I have so many wonderful
memories of Clarksburg. I remember the library and had to go there a couple of
times a week because I loved to read and still do. I went to the Robinson
Grande Theater often with the Buffington girls and also with Suzanne Hanifan.
At Morgan Grade School I remember; Steven Rosen, Melissa Buffington, Suzanne
Hanifan, Judy Southerly, Leslie Ruehle, David Moore, Lynwood Burnside and so
many more! Judy Southerly and I see each other pretty often. She lives here in
AZ. I believe I related in my last email how close we were to Linda Cottrill
(Trickett) and her husband Bill. They were so good to us. Linda was our first
babysitter. We were blessed with many friendships in Clarksburg.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">My family loved Menard's and we all learned how to make a
version of their sauce and meatballs. Oh and the pepperoni rolls! I guess you
can tell many of my memories are about food.
:)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Does anyone know where the little maple leaf candies come from?
Those were a treat my grand-parents gave us on our visits to Fairmont.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">On Temple Terrace, I remember the smell of the woods and the
wild flowers. The summer was the best because we all ran free with no fear of
crime. It was a simple and lovely childhood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">As much as I love" Country Roads", it is bittersweet
for me to hear it because we played it at both of my parents' memorial service.
It was also a favorite of theirs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">It was fun to look back! Please keep those newsletters coming.
They bring back a lot of good memories for some of us.</span><br />

out this song by the Prodigals. We should never forget the Prodigals as they
were the local band of our times in the mid 50’s to the mid 60’s. I always
think of my friend Judy Daugherty when I hear this song. So this one is for
her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">My most significant memory about John Denver's
"Take Me Home, Country Roads" was listening to John Denver sing this
song at the first game played at new Mountaineer Field in 1980. The
Mountaineers took on Cincinnati and the stadium looked kind of bleak with no
trees or anything around to make it look pretty. It looked very much like a
construction site, which it was of course, but it was ready to go so far as
football was concerned. The stadium seated 50,000 when it first opened, and I'm
sure it was a sell-out. I still have the ticket stub to that game. The main
pregame event was John Denver's singing "Country Roads." It was a
great idea, but it didn't turn out too well. The sound system at the stadium
wasn't operating properly, and I only heard bits and fragments. I could see
John smiling and singing and he seemed to appreciate the fact that the crowd
really loved his song. Despite the sound problems, as I recall, the crowd loved
having Denver appear and gave him a loud ovation. We won the game, 41-27, and
got a chance to see how our new coach, Don Nehlen, would lead us for the next
20 years with a punishing running game and play action passes. Pretty exciting
day. New stadium, new coach, and John Denver. Now, the stadium is much larger
and more attractive and singing "Country Roads" after a Mountaineer
win has become a beloved tradition. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

responsible for projecting very positive images of West Virginia and West

I go out to a store or other destinations. I often get thanks for my service
and I mention that after being injured during basic training in armored
infantry and tanks at Fort Knox(Third Armored Division) I was confined to our
barracks for a week where I found a copy of ”The Army Times” in a waste basket.
There was a notice that the army needed physicists, engineers and chemists for special
research projects. Having just graduated from Salem College with physics major,
math minor and also teaching fields in chemistry and biology I completed
application forms and was sent to the US Army Chemical Corps at the Chemical
Center in Edgewood, MD as a Physical Scientist (MOS1395). I was one of 1,000 GI
technical types in two detachments. I was assigned as one of two GIs to the Shielding
Section of the Radiological Division. I spent two years in research on weapons
radioactive fallout analysis, gamma radiation studies and design and testing of
instrumentation to measure thermal radiation from nuclear weapons tests in the
NV desert.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mary Lynn (WI 1947) and my former Salem College biology professor, Cleveland Broadwater.
After two years our branch chief posted a notice on the bulletin board about a Radiological
Physic Fellowship Grant at Vanderbilt and Oak Ridge National Lab. I applied for
the program and drove to Nashville, TN and Vanderbilt and then to Oak Ridge for
practical work .I later went to WVU on the GI Bill, UMD and MIT for additional
studies After WVU I went to work as a Radiological Physicist at Oak Ridge and
Germantown, MD at the US Atomic Energy Commission. I retired after 42 years
govt. service in 1995 as a Nuclear Engineer and Health Physicist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">While we are talking about WVU Football this fall, we should
evaluate the childish antics and lack of Leadership of the Head Coach on the
sidelines. He embarrasses me with his outrages and I wonder why anyone would
play for him. I then consider the sideline character of three WVians, Jimbo
Fisher, Rich Rodriguez and Nick Saban and I am proud they were raised in WV and
very happy with their success. They are Leaders. Their teams are the ones I
watch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">You are not alone in your criticism of Dana Holgorsen's sideline
demeanor. I don't believe a coach should let mistakes by his players go without
comment, but appearing to lose his temper again and again just won't cut it in
my book. I believe this is his 6th season as head coach at WVU and as they say,
it is time to grow up. Many fans have never "warmed up" to him, even
after all this time. The fact that he replaced the well-liked Bill Stewart
doesn't help. Maybe a Big 12 Conference title or (dare I say it) a national
championship would change some minds, but don't count on it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I recognized the football player wearing # 70 as it being SAM
HUFF. I knew that he went to a "lesser known high school" somewhere
in West Virginia, and by looking him up on the internet this morning I found
out that I was correct as the "lesser known high school" was
Farmington. I already knew that he had played football at WVU; then on to the
New York Giants; then on to the Washington Redskins (and I actually got to see
him play when he was a Redskin as I live in Alexandria, Virginia). After his
retirement, I believe that he went over to the broadcast booth as a commentator
at some point for both the Giants and the Redskins.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">In reply to the football player, I offer the following:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think the photo is SAM HUFF, a great player out of Marion
County. Unsure of background, but maybe Farmington/Grant Town. He is one of the
greatest players to ever represent WVU. He played middle linebacker and was a
“prototype middle linebacker”, new to the position. He was All League, All
American and All Pro by every publication. His most notable adversary had to be
the famous Jim Brown from Syracuse University and later, the Cleveland Browns.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">They had many one-on one battles. I think his pro teams were
Redskins and Giants. On the same teams at WVU was Bruce Bosley an offensive
lineman who went on to play for the 49ers for many years. I lost track after
Huff’s pro career and often wondered what became of him. I hate to declare
anyone as “the best ever” in any sport but be sure there are a lot of WVU fans
who still believe that Sam was indeed the best.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">When I was General Manager of WPTF Radio in Raleigh NC in the
late 1980s, we were an affiliate of the Washington Redskins Radio Network. When
the Redskins played a pre-season game in Chapel Hill at the University of N.
Carolina stadium, I was invited to sit in the broadcast booth with "Sonny,
Sam and Frank." They were one of the best sports broadcast teams I've ever
heard Frank had a hard time keeping Sonny and Sam focused but it was very
entertaining. Since I grew up in Clarksburg and had many classmates who went to
WVU, Sam Huff talked to me on the air several times during the network broadcast.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Gatski were both born in Farmington. Frank played for The Browns which was my
favorite team when I was living in Clarksburg. Both of them were elected to the

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The only “different” memory that I may have about Sam, from
other Newsletter readers, is that I was stationed at Great Lakes Naval Station
in 1957 and I went to the College All-Star Game in Soldier’s Field. 75,000
spectators which was a lot for a WV boy. The NY Giants played the All-Stars.
Giants won with Sam as Linebacker.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Jim McIntire was his teammate at Farmington High School. Greatness followed for
Sam with Coach Pappy Lewis at WVU and on to the pros and fame. Readers may
recall his run for congressman in West Virginia. Too bad he didn't get it; he
would have been a good one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The player you are asking about is Sam Huff. I think he lived in
Marion Co. He went on to play football at WVU in the mid fifties. They held
their early practices at Jackson's Mill just outside Weston. I remember going
there to watch them and I was amazed to see how low those big guys could get to
the ground, maintain their balance and block their opponent around the knees
and drive them backward. When I tried that when I played at WI, I would nose
dive straight to the ground. Jim Alvaro could do that, but then, he wasn't
quite the size of Sam Huff.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Sam was drafted by the New York Giants and his salary was so low
that he had to return home in the summers to work part time jobs just to make
ends meet. He went from a college tackle to a pro linebacker. He was so
successful that they made a TV special about him “The Violent World of Sam
Huff”. He had epic games with the Packers and I think a ball carrier by the
name of Taylor. (I could be mistaken about this). In later years he played for
the Redskins, again as a linebacker.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">While in college, he anchored the line with another great, Bruce
Bosley who went on to be one of the best Centers in the game. He too was All Pro
I think he played for the 49ers. My memory fades a bit these days, so don't
hold me to all this. It is fun to try to remember though.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Congratulation to you and your staff for all the hard work. I
was able to find my aunt who graduated from WI in 1919. I leaned that her
nickname was Diddie. I would never have guessed that as she was a straight
laced school teacher and task master when I was growing up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Again thank you so much for all you have accomplished.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Who would ever forget Sam Huff. If you were a WVU football fan
around 1956, you would remember Sam, as well as a few others I will mention.
How about Bruce Bosley, Freddie Wyant, Bob Moss, Joe Marconi and Chuck Howley,
who was probably the best all-around player of any of them. I read where Howley
lettered in, as well as football, track, gymnastics, swimming, and wrestling.
Also, he is in the Ring of Honor for the Dallas Cowboys.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Now about Sam: I remember in 1956, I attended the WVU / Syracuse
football game in Morgantown. There were 5-6 inches of snow on the field. There
were men with brooms who had to go from one side of the field to the other to
see the lines, so they could to determine first downs etc. I remember reading
or hearing where Coach Art "Pappy" Lewis told Sam Huff that he wanted
him to stick with Jim Brown, who was one of the greatest running backs at that
time and probably of all times. He told him that "If Brown goes in the
stands, you go with him, if he goes out for rest, you go out for rest. If he
goes to the bathroom (I'm sure about this one), you go to the bathroom".
Well, I was sitting in the end zone, when Brown broke down the left side line
for a really long run. It must have been 60 plus yards. He came very close to
going out of bounds, but didn't. They missed the extra point and the game later
ended 6 0 Syracuse. What a fantastic game. Sam was one hell of a linebacker
with WVU as well as with the NY Giants and Washington Redskins.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I am sure the Mountaineers have had some really great players,
but I can't remember them as "loaded" as they were in the early and
mid 50's. Maybe some of the readers will list some that they think were equal
or even better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Following are the answers I was expecting, but some of you had
more interesting responses than I had. Thanks to everyone who took the time to
write to us about this great Mountaineer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">1. His name is Sam Huff.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">2. He played high school football at Farmington High School in
Marion County. Their team mascot was the "Farmers". I was fortunate
enough to see him play a few times. He was truly a "man among boys"
at that time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">3. He played at West Virginia University<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">4. He played for the New York (Football) Giants and the
Washington Redskins in the NFL.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">5. Sam did many things after his pro career. I was looking for
his stint as the color commentator for Redskins games, where he worked
alongside Sonny Jurgensen. He was also very successful working for the Marriott
Corporation and also worked with the Giants radio team for three years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">6. Sam was one of the best linebackers to ever play the game and
his epic battles with the great running back, Jim Brown were legendary, at
least as far as the press was concerned.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">7. Even though his birthplace is listed as Edna Gas, WV, the
unincorporated area where Consol Mine No. 9 was located, Sam was known as a
Farmington boy. Another Farmington boy was a guy named Frank "Gunner"
Gatski. The three things they had in common are that they were both from
Farmington, they both played football at Farmington High School and they are
both in the NFL Hall of Fame. At one time, Farmington, WV was one of only two
towns/cities in the country that had been home to two NFL Hall of Fame members.
The other, at that time, was Los Angeles. Not bad for a small town in West
Virginia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Because of my passion for college sports, I
often browse the internet seeking information from "back in the day"
about college football and basketball. Recently, I was looking at the all-time
roster of the WVU football team. I knew my small hometown had produced at least
five Mountaineer players, three of whom I knew well. I was surprised to find a
sixth team member from back in the early 40's.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">I thought that, while I was at it, I would see
how many players listed their hometown as Clarksburg, WV. I found a total of
28. I recognized a couple of the names instantly, Rex Bumgardner and Phil
Messinger. In addition to these two, how many others can you name from memory?
Do or did you know any of them? Tell us something about them. Incidentally, of
the 28, 13 played after 1950. On the list were two named Lopez, two named
Williams and one named Secret.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Over the years, there have been many great
athletes from Shinnston, WV, however it produced two very famous football
coaches. Can you name them? If you can, please tell us what you remember about
them. We're not looking for statistics from the internet, just a memory from
your younger days about either one or both of these fine coaches. As an
example, I really didn't like one of them for part of his career, even though I
always respected him. I'll tell you why next month. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Due to my poor
memory, we were forced to send out a special request to our readers, asking for
WVU football fans to forecast the final regular season record for the
Mountaineers this fall. Sixteen brave souls made their guesses. No one thought
the "eers would have a perfect record, so I guess I'll have to wait
another year, at least, to see the national championship trophy for football
rest in Morgantown. I want to thank all those who participated. Someone will
win a nice prize for their efforts. My own forecast is at the end of this
section.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Just to get a
jump-start, I’ll go for a 9 win, 3 loss season. Naturally it all depends on
Grier and the results of the Gobbler game in DC. I’m still not sold on
Holgorsen, but their recruiting seems to be improving talent-wise, which has
given us some depth to overcome our graduation losses.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The running backs
are great, IF they have some holes to run thru. IF OUR WR’S TURN OUT TO BE
SUPER, THEN WE COULD DO BETTER. I certainly won’t miss the QB running every
time he gets in trouble.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I predict regular

and we have some big games this year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

kick off game at Fed X Field the Mounties and the Gobblers. I watched a little
of the spring practice and it seemed obvious they needed a QB. The QB position
and defense should tell the difference. I predict 9 and 3!!! I like the new
Defensive Coordinator and I think the QB will fit in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I've been following
WVU sports since I was six years old. My dad was a big Mountaineer fan (he
started following them in the 1920s when Old Mountaineer Field was new!) Even
though I've followed WVU almost all of my life, I've always had a devil of a
time predicting how they will do. I expected about 8 wins last year and was
surprised with a 10-win season. Anyway, for this season, I'm going to guess
9-3. I think our offense is loaded, but the defense has some holes to fill. Special
teams could be the deciding factor between a really fine season and a
disappointing one. Our most difficult games appear to be on the road. I'm
expecting losses at Oklahoma, Kansas State (a team that always gives us fits)
and TCU. The opener against Va. Tech is a toss-up, but I think we have enough
offensive firepower to pull off a close win over the Hokies. I've been
attending Mountaineer games since the days of Gene Corum and every year I get
just as excited as a little kid. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I believe that any football team will be as good as their
quarterback. And according to the experts, the Mountaineers have 1 of the top 3
in the league. If he stays healthy they will do well. Looking at the schedule,
we have more road games than home within the league. The opener against
Virginia Tech is key - if they can win that one, they just might be 7-0 before they
get into the tough side of the schedule. I think it is a given that Oklahoma
and Oklahoma State will be 1st and 2nd. I’m wary about the road game at Kansas
State who has the best coach in the league but his health may be a factor, he
has had some health issues this winter. 9-3 or 8-4 should be attainable and as
an optimist, I say 9-3.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">To start with, I<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>was<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>going to submit this year's Mountaineer
prediction to be a 6-6 year. That was based on losing the entire front of the
3-3-5 defense and losing a pretty good quarterback in Howard. However, reading
further on Grier, I had a change of heart. The guy went 5-0 as a starter for
Florida, 1,202 passing yards, 10 passing touchdowns, with 3 interceptions, and
is a pretty fair running quarterback. I'll change my prediction. Even with the
suspension of him using performance-enhancement drugs, (heck my baby aspirin
probably has peds in it) and if Justin Crawford gets his 1,500 plus yards
rushing, I will stick my neck out, and you know I love the 'eers, to a<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>8-4 season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Other reasons: I think we will beat East Carolina, Delaware St.,
Kansas, TCU, Texas Tech, Baylor, upset Oklahoma St., beat Iowa St. And, I think
the majority of the predictions will by 7-5 and I don't want my name in the hat
with 50 others. So my prediction will be 8-4. Yes, that is 8 wins and 4 loses.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Looking at the schedule and knowing the WV team, my professional

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I have checked many things and if I knew the correct answer, I
would bet my house. I think 6 and 6 will be right but I am going 7 and 5. I
think the offense will be pretty good, but just too many newcomers on defense
to do much better. I am hoping we can beat Va. Tech, even though we are not
favored. As you know, Holgorsen is my least favorite coach, next to John
Cooper. He may keep the offense together and win at least 7. I just don't believe
they have the talent or depth to go any farther.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I am predicting (guessing) 9-3, with losses to Va. Tech,
Oklahoma State or Texas, and Oklahoma. The loss to Tech, just because it will
be so aggravating, the loss to OSU or Texas, because everyone has an off game
every once in awhile, and to Oklahoma, because a win would probably put us into
the conference playoff and as everyone knows, in the end, the Mountaineers will
always let you down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I had thought that the addition of Grier would really open up
the passing game, but since we are running out of people to throw it to, they
will still have to depend on a lot of shorter passes, rather than 80 yard TD
passes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I do think they will be pretty good, but fall just a little
short of getting a lot of national attention, end up rated 18th to 20th and
maybe win their bowl game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">We had Jed Drenning, "The Savant," as speaker last
week for our Kanawha Valley WVU Fan Club; the fifth or sixth consecutive year
we've heard his pre-season take. After his assessment, all of us felt a bit
more confident than we had a few hours before. Jed endorsed what others had
said about Will Grier; he has all the throws pro scouts want to see - outs,
digs, goes, comebacks, slants, curls, wheels, posts, corners. With every day
throwing to the receiver corps, their confidence should grow. Ka'Raun White
(due for a breakout a la his NFL brother Kevin), returning nomad David Sills and
Gary Jennings (who may return kicks) are seasoned vets, though minus Jovon
Durante (now gone to FAU) and Marcus Simms (suspended for at least Va Tech),
two or three young receivers need to mature early from among Stephen Smothers,
Reggie Roberson, Dominique Maiden. Speaking of maturity, Grier's young family
have necessitated his, and the O line, led by the now healed LT Yodney Cajuste,
wants to perform to their BFF QB's skill level, all promising signs. Grier's
backups will likely be Chris Chuganov and incoming David Israel. I asked Jed
Drenning what factors might play in whether Will Grier declares for the NFL
draft. His response: "Wouldn't it be great to have the season that might
give him that decision to make?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">WVU has one of the better running back stables with Justin
Crawford (#1 in Big 12 yds/carry), proven sophs Kennedy McKoy and Martell Pettaway,
and promising newcomers Tevin Bush and Alex Sinkfield. FB Eli Wellman brings
power and experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">For the third year in a row, Tony Gibson must rebuild a defense
losing graduating stars and early NFL departees, yet several insiders have
opined this may be the best depth, though unproven, since joining the Big 12 in
2012. At safety, Kyzir White (spur) and the recovered Dravon Askew-Henry (free)
should be the best tandem in the conference, and are joined by Joyous Avery at
bandit. Once again WVU has snared some experienced defenders in transfers
Quandaries Qualls (LB), to go along with freshmen DBs Derek Pitts, Kenny
Robinson, and Exree Loe. (If I ever adopt a brace of doberman pinschers, I'm
gonna name 'em Quandaries Qualls and Exree Loe...)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The D line, like the O line, should prove at least adequate, and
my pick for a pleasantly surprising sector is the linebacking corps. With the
expected return in October of David Long, returning LBs Al-Rasheed Benton,
Xavier Preston and the recuperated Brendan Ferns should be more than adequate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">How about that special teams Mountain State flavor with LS Nick
Meadows of Williamstown, P Billy Kinney (Morgantown), and K Mike Molina
(Hurricane).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Just in the past week an article appeared suggesting Holgorsen
is developing a triple option for the rapidly developing Grier. On reading and
watching clips it appears almost like a quadruple option, with Will reading for
a pass, pitch, run or pass. I'd hate to defend it (Brad Howe's announcement of
Grier as a bona fide Heisman candidate may not be so far-fetched).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Holgorsen likes the team's depth and its chemistry. If its
health can be maintained, I like its chances for another 10+ win season. There
is little margin for error should injuries arise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Finally, I am super pleased with the quality of Holgorsen's
staff a nicely meshing mix of WVU-experienced coaches (Gibson, Bruce Tall, Tony
Dews, Jake Spavital) and young, confident, articulate coaches with impressive
resumes, e.g., Tyron Carrier (NCAA record setting WR and KR at Houston) and
Belk (), and Spavital (sic), the now experienced offensive coordinator (Texas
A&M, California, now OC for Holgorsen)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">How do you predict a season record for this team, when there are
so many unknowns? A defense that needs to replace most of its members. An
offensive line that lost a ton of talent. A new starting quarterback, who has not
played in a game for over 1-1/2 seasons. A wise choice would be 5-7 or 6-6, but
I think this team is capable of at least one upset, maybe more. I think East
Carolina, Delaware State, Kansas, Texas Tech and Iowa State should be wins. Va.
Tech, TCU and Baylor will be very difficult. Oklahoma could be vulnerable with
a new coach. I feel Texas is back with the new coach and Oklahoma State is
probably our toughest game. Having said all of that, my guess is a 7-5 season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Last month, I published copies of a couple
of old newspapers articles about a basketball game in Clarksburg between the
Harlem Globetrotters and the House of David. The article did not mention the
year the game was played, so I asked if anyone could determine the date, based
on the information given. Even though the print was small and difficult to
read, to my surprise, no one attempted to guess the date.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">There were several clues from which you
might determine the year the game was played. The article mentions that
"it was the Globetrotters' 31st and basketball's 66th anniversary".
However, the best clue was in the other small article shown about Texas A &
M looking for a coach. Paul "Bear" Bryant had just left A & M to
return to his Alma Mater, Alabama. That would make the year 1958. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the probable first Globetrotter game in Clarksburg. Thank you, Ted for this

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Probably the first game the Globetrotters played in Clarksburg
was in March of 1941. They played the Clarksburg Oilers (the local semi-pro
team) and beat them pretty soundly. They were a serious competitive team at
that time and had recently been recognized as the best Pro team in the country.
They would play straight basketball until they took a big lead and then they
started the entertaining stuff. Incidentally, the Clarksburg team played them
later in the year in Sistersville and beat them. The Clarksburg team had added
Press Maravich (Pete's dad) to the team. No trick plays in that game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt; font-weight: normal;">The Shinnston Tornado was a horrible storm.
We never saw anything like that and I never again want to. I took my children
to the basement when there were tornado warnings in Ohio. The picture is of the
Hope Natural Gas Pump Station across the road from our friend Hill's farm. I
was told that a man was in his bath tub and ended up on another's property. </span></strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt; font-weight: normal;">The storm I do remember is the one in 1950. I
thought the snow would never stop and we actually got a Snow Day. We lived on
Washington Ave. and the kids made a tunnel and bobsled trail down the hill and
we all had fun!! The men in our neighborhood built a bonfire in a huge metal
barrel so we could warm ourselves.</span></strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I remember the
Shinnston tornado very well because it occurred on my birthday - June 23rd
1944. We lived in Stealey on Temple Terrace. Our house looked West and South
out over the valley across to the hills beyond. The sky was very dark and I
remember comments about how strange the sky looked, with a greenish cast. While
we were eating dinner the air had become very calm. Then the electricity went
off. That was exciting for a birthday celebration with cake and candles, so we
had a few extras. We washed and dried the dishes by candlelight. I think we
heard on the radio that there had been a tornado in Shinnston because we knew
it that night. My Father worked in that area sometimes, so had a particular
knowledge of the area. We all felt heartsick about it. This was a sad ending to
a special day that will always live vividly in my memory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">We were at my
grandmother's house in Nutter Fort, WV the day the tornado hit Shinnston. We
were going to get on a trolley and go to Shinnston that very day; we would have
been right in the middle of it. I got the whooping cough and we didn't go. Dad
was working in a steel mill in Detroit and heard about it on the radio. He was
scared for us, of course.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">It was a warm
summer evening and a bunch of us neighborhood kids were sitting on a neighbor's
front porch taking turns on their porch swing. We could hear thunder in the
distance and we expected a summer storm momentarily. We began to notice that
the very air surrounding us had turned a funny shade of greenish yellow and
stayed that way for quite some time. The thunderstorm we expected never arrived
in our part of Clarksburg. In our young minds, it was just a typical summer evening
except the air was green. Next morning the paper screamed out that many people
had been killed in the Shinnston tornado. Until then we didn't even know what a
tornado was. It turned out after search and rescue that over 100 were killed in
that storm which had apparently wiped out Shinnston and the surrounding area. The
storm moved eastward and there was wind damage very close to route 50 east of
Maple Lake. My dad drove our family to Shinnston about two weeks after the
storm and the damage was horrendous. There were bed sheets and blankets in
trees, houses demolished, washing machines in very odd places, etc. I was
nearly six years old at the time, but to this day I can still remember the
event with some clarity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Dear Roleta, Wanted to take
a moment to thank you for maintaining the W. I. Newsletter, no easy feat, I
suspect and gracias for the mention of my work in the past. I got a recent pat
on the back from a New York POST columnist: James A. Fragale (WI 1958) in the
New York POST June 1, 2017, bold-faced in Richard Johnson’s column on Page 14: Jim
Fragale<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>who wrote the novel “The
Answer to Life”</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> (</span><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">amazon.com<span style="color: black;">) </span><span style="color: #333333;">will have more answers in “Seventy-Six Trombones,” which
he started writing the day after he turned 76, the same age his father James,
Sr. died. Fragale’s new, and third novel, was inspired by Bette Davis, who once
said, “Old age is not for sissies.” Jim’s second novel, titled: “F.U.! (Follow
Up)! The Answer to Life Revisited,” got ten (10) 5-star reviews on</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span>amazon.com<span style="color: #333333;">. Both of Fragale’s previous efforts were well received
on<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span>amazon.com<span style="color: black;">. </span><span style="color: #333333;">Cross your eyes for
the third novel which as you might have guessed are more fictionalized memories
of West Virginia.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I am not sure that the following story happened during the
"Big Flood in Clarksburg" that you are referring to in the June WI
Newsletter, but I do remember the following happened about 1984-1985<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">My mother was living alone in her house at 410 Broaddus Avenue
"back in the day", the second house away from Elk Creek. She called
me one morning at 5:00 a.m. and asked me what I was doing on that particular
day. I asked her why she was asking and she told me about the flood at that
time and was wondering if I could come home ASAP, as the water was already in
the basement of the house and it was still raining. I told her that I would be
on the road from Reston, Virginia as soon as it turned daylight, as I wanted to
make sure that I did not encounter any high waters on roads that I could not
see.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">By the time that I got to my mother's house, the water was about
one step away from coming up from the basement into the living areas of the
house. I talked to our neighbor (Mr. Koon) and asked for his advice and he told
me I should call a rental place out near Anmoore and rent a pump, IF they had
any left. They did have one pump left, so I asked them to hold it for me and
off we went to pick it up. When we got back to the house, Mr. Koon helped us
get it set up and running, trying to get the water out of the basement. I
looked in the basement window from time to time and saw the washing machine and
dryer floating around for quite a while before the water finally receded. One
of the smartest things that Mr. Koon did was that he had disconnected the hot
water tank that was in the basement before I had gotten there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Well, the water finally receded completely out of the basement
later that afternoon, so the next morning we started trying to clean up the
basement as best we could. Mr. Koon used the pump we had rented until his basement
was cleared of water. There was a LOT of stuff that got thrown out as it was
just too badly damaged to try to salvage. Mr. Koon and his family had a worse
situation as he was one house closer to the creek, plus he and his wife used
the basement for a lot of things other than just storage. His son-in-law took
LOADS of stuff to the dump, truck load after truck load from both houses.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I left later the second day, as there was not much I could do to
help the situation as Clarksburg was without water pressure and residents had
been told not to use water except in emergency situations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">My sister (Lib TETER Akin) and her husband (Bill) went to
Clarksburg the following weekend to complete the cleanup process, and my
brother-in-law did something that I would never have thought to do in a hundred
years, he raked the entire backyard, to get rid of whatever the creek left behind.
SMART MOVE on Bill's part.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I went back to my mother's a few weeks later, and we were able

thrown out of that house due to that flood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Really
enjoyed The Silent Generation, although I never felt very silent. Many
wonderful times to remember. Thank you for the memories. Through the newsletter
I have had the opportunity to reconnect with Marianna Waroblak, a neighbor when
she and Ted were "little people". When they lived on Harrison St., they
were our neighbors and my Mother babysat for them. I was born and raised on
Tyler Avenue in Broad Oaks. We walked to Central and WI unless weather was
bad, than rode city bus. I remember going to bus terminal to buy a book of
student tickets for 2 1/2 cents apiece. When we walked we went across the swinging
bridge, up Carr Avenue to main Street and on into town through Arcade and on to
school. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">We wore mostly skirts and blouses or pullover sweaters with cute
little collars, sweater sleeves pushed up until they came out with 3/4 length
sleeve sweaters, penny loafers and socks for school. Best part of clothing was
the beautiful evening gowns we had for formal dances and how corsages always
matched dresses (thanks to Moms). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Shinnston tornado was really awful. I remember my Dad coming
home from work on the bus and trying to get from Harrison St. to our home. He
walked into a big maple tree in our yard. Next day we drove to Shinnston to
view the damage. I also remember, shortly thereafter, we had a tornado in Quiet
Dell. We were always told we could not have tornadoes because of mountains,
wrong. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I want everybody to mark their calendars for
August 26, 2017 for the yearly picnic at the VA Park Follow the signs to the
Osborne Pavilion (same as years past—across from the amphitheater). We have
great plans for food and items for the giveaways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Since we had some hefty donations last year,
we decided to share the wealth. We will provide chicken wings, Cole slaw, baked
beans and pasta salad. In addition to water, we will have lemonade and iced
tea. Those attending can bring their favorite dish to share with us as well,
especially those scrumptious desserts. Those coming from afar can bring chips,
dips etc that can be picked up at the local grocery store and I sure hope
someone brings pepperoni rolls.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">If you have any suggestions for other food
items we can provide, please let me know. As always, plates, utensils, cups,

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">It was also very
cool to wear a pink sweater or pink cardigan buttoned in front or backwards
with a white dickie and a charcoal skirt. Boys also wore pink v-neck sweaters
and charcoal, pegged pants. Then there was the trend for “squeeze me” elastic
belts…back when we actually had a waist. Also brief fad was to wear a belt with
a plastic photo holder attached, where you put a photo of your current boyfriend.
Of course, the bobby sox and loafers and your boyfriend’s letter sweater.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Re: Growing up in the 1950’s, as one of your
other readers was discussing. Although she grew up in the 40’s, we were the
same way in the 50’s .We would go out to play and the only requirement was to
be home when the street lights come on. I lived on South 7<sup>th</sup> Street.
Lowndes hill was my back yard. We would go out and ride bikes, or hike up on
Lowndes Hill. We even played games “in the street” like Red Rover or Dodge Ball
or Hide and Seek. We kept busy all day and would go home maybe for lunch if not
eating at a friend’s house then go home for dinner when the street lights came
on. If someone was needed before that “MOM” would go out on the front porch and
holler for you to come home and if your mom didn’t have a loud enough voice,
another mom would help out. We would also walk to the neighborhood store “Ryder’s
Grocery” on 5<sup>th</sup> Street to meet friends or go pick up something
needed at home. We would walk to Towers Grade School, Central Jr. High, and WI.
While at WI we did not have a cafeteria so we would walk downtown at lunch and
get Pepperoni Rolls and donuts from the bakery. Great times and a great place
to grow up. We were truly blessed<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Looks like
Compton Bowling alleys. I remember working across Rt. 50 at WHAR on a Sunday
evening when we were required to play elevator music. All of the disc Jockeys
would rotate working a Sunday evening. Compton’s was the closest place to grab
a bite to eat. You put on the longest 78 album you could find and run across
the highway to Compton’s for a burger and back before the album ended. Unless
you run back with your burger in a bag and can't find your key to get back in
the station! This happened once; I looked in the control room window to see the
album was on its last song. I also saw my key laying on the control desk.
Fortunately I remembered leaving the control room back door open. Ran around
back and made it just in time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I have some
fond memories of going to Compton Lanes with my dad, he was on a bowling league
with Hope Gas Company and I would go with him there when I was little, As I got
older, I would go there with many of our friends to bowl or just hang out
together. I live in NC now and it is still the perfect safe hang out for kids.
I drop my 15 yr old grandson off at the bowling lanes here in Winston-Salem
about every Friday night to meet up with his friends. It is nice to know that
some things really do go on thru the generations, 50-55 years later and the
bowling alley is still a popular meeting place!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt; font-weight: normal;">I believe the June Mystery Picture is that of
Compton Bowling Alley at the foot of Old Bridgeport Hill. I think it may still
be there. My brother Fred and I, along with my daughter and a couple of my
granddaughters, went bowling there several years ago. What a fiasco that was.
It sure was not like getting back up on a bicycle. I can remember the last time
I bowled before that day was about 40 years prior. I bowled a 219. That is when
I was bowling every week. We used to bowl at Jewel City (I believe that was the
name) out past Stealey, late in the evenings when the cost was, was about 10
cents a line. There were several of us that took advantage of the late night
special.</span></strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt; font-weight: normal;">Getting back to the fiasco… My daughter and
granddaughter out bowled Fred and I. With many gutter balls, I bowled in the
70's. I am not going to mention which of us had to use an apparatus, where you
placed the ball on a metal frame, aimed at the center of the alley, let the
ball roll down and guaranteed no gutter balls. We laughed until we were sick. I
do not plan on taking up bowling anytime soon. However, I would go with my
cousin Eddie DeMundo who has been bowling all his life. Maybe he could show me
how to get out of the gutter and into the groove again.</span></strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Your June Mystery Picture immediately
brought to mind a bowling alley, but I puzzled for a while over which one. My
first impression was that it might be Jewel City Lanes that was located on
Route 19 South, just across the river from the Veteran’s Hospital. But, the
parking area does not look exactly like I remembered Jewel City. I think,
therefore, that this must be the Compton Bowling Lanes that was located on
Route 50 East, about halfway up the Clarksburg side of Bridgeport Hill.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The mystery
picture is Compton Bowling Lanes on East Pike Street in Clarksburg. I grew up
across the street at 1200 East Pike Street next to radio station WHAR that my
father built in the 50's. Before the bowling alley was built, it was our
neighborhood baseball field.(our "Sand Lot" field) -by the way it was
filmed in Utah. On the back side there were two retaining walls about 15 ft.
high and we used them like the "green Monster wall" or the vine left
field at the old Forbes Field of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Eventually all of the
kids went to Victory High School but living on the other side of the Bridgeport
Hill Road; I went to Linden and Central Jr High and then Washington, Irving. Rode
the City Bus most of the time (it was also only 10 cents) until I got my 56
Chevy my junior year at WI. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Once the bowling
alley was finished, I got to know the manager and staff and would spend a lot
of my spare time behind the pins in the little office of the Maintenance/pin
ball boy. There was a side door (special knock) that would get me in during
league play. During the day they would let me bowl for 10 cents a game (that it
what they paid in a lease to Brunswick). I joined the bowling team and was on
the house team and again they would let me practice for 10 cents a game. My
sister Darla was also a frequent bowling and had one of the high averages for
Jr. Bowlers in the City. Bowling treated me well....after graduating from WI,
move to Logan, Utah and went to Utah State University. Joined the university
bowling team and we traveled to various universities/colleges in the
intermountain and west region. I met my wife to-be on the team as well. She was
State Bowling champion in the State of Utah her senior year in High School and
her freshman year at USU. We got married and were on various mix double teams
in the region until the first of our four children arrived and we hung up the
shoes and bowling balls. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

is Compton Lanes. It opened in Sep, 1961. I started working there in Summer of
1961 while I was still 16. (Turned 17 Sep 2). 51 years later in April, 2012 I purchased
the land and business from Mr. Compton, now 95. I left the name the same to
honor the owner who hired me when I was 16. He is now 95, and his name is Otha

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Country Roads: I loved John Denver's music, particularly a 1981 album he
made with Placido Domingo - Perhaps Love. But when WVU fans adopted Country
Roads as the anthem for Mountaineer sports, I resisted, based on the lyrics
relating to (EAST, by God) Virginia's Shenandoah River (I know, it touches
Jefferson County) and Blue Ridge Mountains (they don't). I felt the West Virginia connection wasn't
authentic, and resisted singing the song at WVU rallies and after Mountaineer
victories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

amazing crowd thrilling skills in the triple overtime win over Louisville -
still to me the most exciting football game I've seen - I sang heartily
"Country Roads," and have ever since. I don't give a @#%$ about
geographic nitpicking, THAT song is WVU Mountaineer property!</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Different spelling of ancestors' names: My grandfather, Edward Shorr of
Weston, had two brothers, John and George, both in Columbus, OH who spelled
their names Schorr. Seems my granddad's signature obscured the "C"
and my dad's, aunts' and uncles' birth certificates were likewise issued
without. No matter hereafter as all of us male Shorrs have fathered only
daughters. Anyway, being a beer lover, when I discovered the German beer,
Hacker-Pschorr, Intrigued since the great-grandparents Schorr had emigrated
from Germany, I asked my father if our name had once been spelled Pschorr.
"Hell no," he said, "it used to be spelled Scherer."
Regardless, I used to take Hacker-Pschorr Octoberfest to Mountaineer Field
tailgates and tell people it was an old family recipe.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">WI Cannon: Bill Lear's "Big Moe" cannon was after my time at
WI, but I have a cannon story. After I emigrated to Elkins, I became a member
of the West Virginia Highlanders bagpipe band, founded in 1947 by American
Legion Post 29 and now sponsored by Davis and Elkins College. In 1963 I went
with the band to the National Legion Convention in Miami Beach. The band at
that time had a cannon party of six who wore khaki kilts rather than the
MacLeod tartan and fired a civil war vintage cannon several times in each
parade. After the big parade, my cousin, a member of the cannon party, told me
to stick around as they were going to fire it one last time in front of our
hotel, the St. Moritz. Two of us single guys had met two girls from Venezuela
and were meeting them for drinks and begged off to go to our room to change.
After arriving at our room we heard a tremendous blast and credited the cannon
party for a job very well done. We soon discovered that a drunk had flipped a
cigarette into a 5 lb can of black powder which exploded, sending several
people to an ER. Fortunately, no one was killed and a couple had facial powder
burns and one some permanent vision damage. I never again saw the cannon, which
was dismantled, brought back to WV and sold. The cannon party, sadly, also was
dismantled. The blast broke storefront windows more than a block away from the
hotel.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Wendell Cramer and I met the two Venezuelan girls, who spoke very little
English while we spoke less Spanish. I asked mine if she was in school. She
said, "Que?" I responded with, "You know, studying," making
gestures like turning book pages. She said, "No, no, no." I asked if
she had a job. She said, "Que?" I responded with, "You know, go
to work every day, office, etc." She said, "No, no, no." I said
to her, "Oh, then you're independently wealthy." She said,
"Que?" I responded with, "You know, very rich, mucho
dinero." She said, "Oh, si, si, si." Then I said, "Great.
Why don't we get married?" She said, "Que?" I answered,
"You know, senor and senora, live in la casa." She said, "Oh,
no, no, no." I said, "Why not? We could have a winter home in Caracas
and a summer home in Elkins, West Virginia." She said, </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 16.15pt;">"Where?"
And I responded, "Good argument..." True story.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I lived on Little
Street in Clarksburg while my dad built our house at 967 Washburn Street,
neighbors on Washburn were Susie and Bill Brookover and 2 doors down was Gary
(WI 1960) and Kay Wamsley. My brother, Ron White (WI 1962) now lives in that
house. We went to Point Comfort
Elementary School, which no longer exists, being replaced by a fire department.
After marrying Bob Davis (WI 1959, deceased 12/2015) lived in Norfolk, VA while
he was in the Navy then moved back to Clarksburg. Lived in 2 rooms and a bath
in the upstairs over a lady on Waldeck Street, then a small house on 16th
Street in North View until after our son was born, then moved to 410 Haymond
Hwy., lived there for 7 years. We then bought a house in Bridgeport, lived
there for 10 years before moving to Irmo, SC where I still live. My life is
different and harder now, without Bob, but I try t</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 21.56px;">o keep busy with

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Like
most of his many friends on Facebook, I was shocked to read a post last week
from his wife telling us that Buzz Floyd was being moved from the hospital to
hospice. I knew he had been in poor health for awhile, but he always seemed to
"come out of it" in high spirits. This time, it was different. He
wanted to go home from hospice and apparently was able to do so, but passed
away shortly thereafter. It all happened way too quickly and I'm having a tough
time accepting it.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">You
see, Buzzy, that's what I always called him, was my fraternity brother at WVU
in the 50's. He had graduated from Victory High School, but was dating Martha
Frye, who attended Washington Irving H.S. In the spring of 1958, Martha visited
Buzzy in Morgantown for "Spring Fling" weekend. She brought along a
friend and Buzzy arranged for me to be her "blind date". As you've
probably guessed by now, that blind date was named Roleta Smith, who later
became my wife. We are still together after over 59 years.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">If
my memory is correct, Buzzy left school and went to work for WBOY-TV in
Clarksburg. He later moved to Las Vegas, where he worked in local television for
many years until his retirement. I lost track of him until the dual miracles of
the WI Newsletter and Facebook combined to help me rediscover my old friend. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">We
often talked of visiting him, but never took the time to do it. I'm really
sorry that didn't happen. But, if you believe as I do, Buzzy may just be
reading this. If he is, I'd like to tell him one more time how much I
appreciate what he did for me. Through his efforts, I have had a long and
wonderful life with the best girl in the world. And, by the way Buzzy, our
Mountaineers should be fun to watch this fall, so keep an eye on them.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 21.56px;">At a recent Meredith family reunion, with 47 present
and held in Canaan Valley, we rented a home which slept 16. I had made 3
dozen pepperoni rolls for a snack treat for anyone interested. My youngest
granddaughter (18 years old) was explaining the pepperoni roll to her
boyfriend. She said, "Hey, NaNa, Will doesn’t know about pepperoni rolls, isn’t
it a West Virginia thing?” I thought, it was first made in Fairmont, WV, so it
is a “West Virginia thing”. Good enough to be “food for the Mythological gods”
of West Virginia, don’t you think?</span></div>

of this picture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Spaces for curb
service were added within a year of this picture being taken. Later, posts with
menus and speakers were added so customers could call in their orders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">To the immediate
right of the edge of this picture is the area on Rt 50 where the Twin Oaks
Restaurant and Town House Motel now stand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Many will
remember the front of the Restaurant looking much different after it was
expanded twice and the Brothers Four Supper Club was later added in the 70's.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">From: David
Ellis (WI 60)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Born and raised
in Clarksburg. My dad, along with his brothers owned the Ellis Drive-in Theater
and Ellis Restaurant. The theater and restaurant were very popular spots
beginning in 1951.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">In the 50's and
60's the restaurant had real curb service with car hops bringing food out on
trays that hooked to the car windows. We started out with customers giving
orders to the waitress, and later added two way speaker phones so customers
could push a button and give their order over the speaker phone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The restaurant
was on Route 50 east of Clarksburg next to where Twin Oaks and the Town House
East Motel are located.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">There is only a
small portion of the restaurant structure still standing, and it is part of a
landscaping business, I think.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The drive-in
theater was directly behind the restaurant. Any semblance of the theater
facilities is now gone and the land now contains some doctor offices and other
commercial buildings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I'll stop there,
although I could write much more about the drive-in theaters and restaurants
popular in the 50's and 60's. Maybe I will convert this excessively long
response to your simple question about my name and class into an article or
series for you to consider.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Back in 2008
you posted on the WI newsletter about “The Prodigals” and how most of them went
to WI. I’m writing because I grew up in Elkins (graduated from high school in
1961) and we were frequently driving to Willow Beach back in (I think) ‘57,‘58
and ’59 (I heard that they tore it down, and it’s now a shopping center) to see
Gerard Folio and The Prodigals. In the summer of ’58, the Shades were formed in
Elkins, and I played keyboards occasionally, and then full-time beginning in ‘60.
Also in ‘60 Chucky Collins sang with our band for about 6 months nice guy, very
quiet and ohh what a voice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">You mentioned
their “Marsha” and “Judy” (I love Judy), but are you aware of their other two
recordings, “Vangie” and “Won’t You Believe”? (Just Google them to listen on
YouTube.) “Won’t You Believe” is great. Finally, there is an excerpt from a
book written about Doo Wop that I think you will enjoy. It tells “The Prodigals”
story, I can’t provide a link here, but if you will Google “The Prodigals”
Clarksburg, you will find a link to page 130 of a book called “Doowop: The Chicago
Scene”. In that book they say that they
didn’t have a name for “Theme Song”, but I noticed a response to your WI
posting back in 08 (by Cliff Judy) saying that Bill McCoy was called Theme Song
and sometimes just “Themie”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The Prodigals were
the first that we knew to make a recording, so they were like celebrities to
us. Oh Yeah, there was also the “El Salvador’s” from Fairmont who played at the
“Melody Manor, they also did a show at the local American Legion in Elkins one
night in what I think was ‘57 , it was a big deal for our small town. They were
really good, and were also a kind of show band too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">My husband Paul
was a Park Service ranger at several of the National Parks in Alaska. When he was
out at Katmai on the Alaska Peninsula (if you’ve seen bears in the fall
catching salmon, you’ve seen Katmai), he was responsible for letting the “fisher
folks” know the rules of the waters. He met every float plane (everyone came in
by float plane or boat), to let them know how to deal with the fearless bears
in the river. The instructions included no barbs on hooks, so catch, take
pictures, release, and most important, get the heck out of the dodge if a bear
is attracted to the splashing catch. He was constantly concerned that he would not
forget any of this, resulting in a person being injured or worse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Once, a pilot
landed late in the day. Paul met the plane and went into his checklist. He
checked the pilot’s fishing license, his identification, gave him the “talk”
and ended his shift. When he got back to the cabins all the other rangers asked,
“What did you and John Denver talk about?” Mr. Denver just smiled as Paul went
over his papers, not connecting the dots.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The first time
that I heard John Denver's "Country Roads", we were visiting my
brother, Marvin, and his family in Houston, TX. My husband and I were in a
camera shop buying film when that song played over the store music system. We
were delighted and immediately had to buy and hear the whole song. His
melodious voice and the song have always had special meaning to these displaced
West Virginians.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Flying out of Libya and Sardinia, on one ill
fated mission, the captain ordered the crew to prepare to crash. They assumed
that they were behind enemy lines and proceeded as they had been trained. The
bombardier had the duty to turn off electrical power to the high-speed gyros in
the classified Norden bombsight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">As the nose gunner, it was Bob’s duty to
wait as long as possible for the gyros inside the bombsight to slow down and
then place his 45 automatic pistol against the bombsight casing, protect his
face with his free arm and pull the trigger to destroy the highly classified
device so that the enemy could not retrieve it and use it against us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Unfortunately, the new bombardier was nervous
and failed to do his duty. When Bob pulled the trigger the bombsight caste
metal housing violently exploded sending pieces of metal and small gyros
rotating at full speed in the 800,000 rpm range flying about the compartment
like shrapnel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Bob told me the story in 1965, so he
obviously survived the experience. Even then, some 22 years later, he was still
angry with the bombardier. He also exhibited many signs of PTSD where he would
wake up in the night swinging at an unseen enemy. Everyone in the family knew
to stand back if they had to wake him. Bob told me other war stories which I
will save for another time. He may have been shot down as many as three times. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Bob was the middle brother of the three
Spangler brothers. Burt (1920- 2010), WI class of 1938, was on Omaha Beach on
D-Day and was a regular contributor to the WI newsletter. Youngest brother
Mirth (1924-2016), WI Class of 1942 served in the infantry in the Philippines
in a unit designated by MacArthur as the “Avengers of Bataan”. Mirth contracted
malaria in the Philippine jungles and suffered from it until his death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Their mother was Lena Estelle Kuhl Spangler
(1901-1995) WI Class of 1919. Their uncle was my father, Mirth H. Kuhl (1905-1989)

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">You asked how I got to school. In grade school, we walked to Morgan. About
35 years later my sister and I decided to walk the route to see how long it
was. We were sure it was at least 2 miles!! We made it there in 10 minutes,
meaning it was about ½ mile, we had a good chuckle about that. When I got to
Central I usually got a ride with my dad to school. We didn’t have school bus
service from my house. Again, if Morgan was 2 miles away then it was only
reasonable to assume that Central was 10 miles!! Early on in seventh grade, I
was always getting up late and my dad used to threaten that he would leave
without me. I took incredible advantage of his patience until one day he
actually DID leave without me. I’ve been an early riser ever since.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Coming home from Central, I would generally
jump on a city bus that got me halfway home. City buses ran in any kind of
weather too – and back then if the city buses could make it out, then there was
school. I think that is a long time before they discovered “liability”. Anyway,
my sister and I joke that snow had to be up to the butt of a tall Indian for
them to call off school back then. Today, I live in the Baltimore, MD area. We
are notorious for calling off school if someone simply smells snow in the air –
necessitating a run on the grocery store for milk and toilet paper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Once I got to WI, I began getting rides to
school from older siblings and friends who could drive. I look back at the
places we parked our car on that hill and know that’s why I can now parallel
park so well. I taught my oldest daughter to do it in one afternoon with the
construction cones and a mop handle sticking out so she could see what she was
doing. I made it JUST big enough for her car to get into the spot. When she
took her driving test she was so nervous about the parking part. Then, she saw
that they gave her about two car lengths to work with. She aced it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Newsletter, you had a short article about West Virginia Day, June 20. It
brought to mind my first job (from which I did not retire until 2017), which
was working for the Public Service Commission of West Virginia. I started work
on June 19, 1963. At the end of the day, I mentioned to a few fellow employees
that I would see them “tomorrow”. They informed me that “tomorrow” was a
holiday and we would not be working. I asked them if they meant it was a paid

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I remember the
next day well, because it was June 20, 1963, the 100th birthday of the State.
It was raining that day, but I joined a large crowd at the State Capitol
Building because President John F. Kennedy visited Charleston that day. His
opening remarks were:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">“The sun does not

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The President
also mentioned the 1960 Primary where he won a hard fought campaign in West
Virginia, when many believed that a Catholic could not win in a Southern State.
There were a lot of people at that time saying that his win in the WV Primary
was the signature win he needed in 1960 that would carry him on to get the
Democrat nomination. He remembered that campaign, and the importance of the win
in West Virginia, saying:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">“I would not be
where I now am, I would not have some of the responsibilities which I now bear,
if it had not been for the people of West Virginia. And therefore I am proud to
come back here on this rainy day and salute this State and join you in
committing West Virginia and the country to another 100 years of progress. I
salute West Virginia and I join you, and I will carry on Saturday when I go to
Europe the proud realization that not only mountaineers, but also Americans,
are always free.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">“The sun does not
always shine in West Virginia, but the people always do, and I am delighted to
be here. In many other places this crowd would long ago have gone home, but
this State was born in a period of difficulty and tension. 1863 was marked by
three extraordinary events--the birth of this State, the Emancipation
Proclamation, and the Battle of Gettysburg.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">This State was
born to turmoil. It has known sunshine and rain in a hundred years, but I know
of no State, and I know this State well, whose people feel more strongly, who
have a greater sense of pride in themselves, in their State and in their
country, than the people of West Virginia. And I am proud to be here today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I am proud to
come here today to join you in saluting the birth of this State. I am proud to
join you in telling the United States what West Virginia stands for. And I am
proud to join you with the same hope for the future of this State in 1963 that
you must feel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">When I was here
in 1960, West Virginia had all of the difficulties that had affected it for so
many years. This State still has many problems, and so does this country, but
where in 1960 West Virginia was at the bottom--50th in percentage of attention
it received from the National Government-it is a fact that in 1963 it has moved
up to 30th. This State has cut unemployment in half. There is still too much
unemployment, but I believe that West Virginia and the United States have a
bright future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I would not be
where I now am, I would not have some of the responsibilities which I now bear,
if it had not been for the people of West Virginia. And therefore I am proud to
come back here on this rainy day and salute this State and join you in
committing West Virginia and the country to another 100 years of progress. I
salute West Virginia and I join you, and I will carry on Saturday when I go to
Europe the proud realization that not only mountaineers, but also Americans,

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">After six years as a special
consultant, Jerry West is leaving the Golden State Warriors to take a similar
job with the Los Angeles Clippers,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>SI.com<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>has learned. West, who turned 79 as the NBA

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Known as the architect of two
Laker championship teams as a general manager (Showtime in the decade of the
80s and the Kobe-Shaq threepeaters at the beginning of the century), West was
not in a decision-making capacity with the Warriors. But he was a respected
voice on personnel matters as Golden State turned from a laughingstock to a
model franchise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">While losing guidance of someone the likes of West is
enough of a loss in itself, the fact that Golden State is seeing the man who
helped bring <span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Kevin Durant</span> to the Bay Area leave for a division rival
only makes West's decision that much more difficult to stomach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Bill: I wanted to let you know that while in
high school I played football and remember at least two of your WI players that
I played against Bob Secret and Gene Donaldson. Both were really good running
backs Secret was fast and elusive, while big Gene would just run over you.
Once, after tackling Gene he got up, glared at a couple of us and
said,"I'm gonna’ tear down your playhouse". We didn't laugh because
we were pretty sure he meant it, LOL. I know that Gene went on to play at
Purdue with the guy that I replaced on keyboards with The Shades, Nat Jackson.
Lots of great memories of high school, including games in your city against WI,
Victory, and RW. We went 8-1-1 in 1960 losing only to Parkersburg, with a tie
in the Victory game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">It is good to hear from another Elkins grad.
Terry Shorr writes to us often. Although I was not fortunate enough to have
played against Bob or Gene, I have heard nothing but great things about both of
them. I lived in a different county, but was very aware of their
accomplishments at WI.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I often saw the Elkins HS basketball team when
they played at Colebank Gymnasium in Fairmont against Fairmont Senior (West).
My brother-in-law was a Polar Bear fan and took me to several games each year.
I think the coach for Elkins at that time was Frank Wimer. Does that sound
right? I also have fond memories of a player at WVU named Mack Isner, who was
from Elkins. He played in the 50's and I listened to every game, which Jack
Fleming so ably described. Unfortunately, Mack passed away earlier this year.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Finally, I've always had a soft spot in my
heart for Elkins. Not only do I enjoy visiting there, but my Mother graduated
from Elkins HS. I still have a picture of her graduating class, which dates
around 1918.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Guess it's not unusual for a guy in such a high profile job as a
major college athletic director to have both strong supporters and fierce
detractors. Thus Oliver Luck fits the mold for his contributions in getting WVU
into the Big 12 over Mitch McConnell's alma mater, and for his unfortunate
handling of Bill Stewart's termination, though I believe he was trying to be
kind to Stewart. Some may think the Big 12 affiliation was wrong, but I much
prefer that conference over whatever the heck the old Big East is now called
(most couldn't tell you how many teams are there, let alone name them all). And
no one should expect WVU to be left out in the cold with any future realignment.
BTW, for those detractors of the late Coach Stewart, I'd remind them that he
was the one who recruited and signed Geno Smith, Tavon Austin, and Stedman
Bailey, and he has a better winning percentage than all WVU coaches in the past
100 years but for Clarence "Doc" Spears. And Stewart won twice as
many bowl games as Spears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Luck has to be given credit for Dana Holgorsen, who's maturing
in many positive ways, notably recruiting and hiring of assistants, several
with prior WVU tenure. Likewise, Randy Mazey, who has the Baseball program on a
rising trajectory. Luck also hired Sean Covich who seems to be developing a
fine golf program (just announced that WVU will bring the 2019 Big 12 Golf
Championship to The Greenbrier!), and Sammie Henson, who brings strong
credentials to Wrestling. (Too soon to<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>either
new coaches Reed Sunahara (Volleyball) and Miha Lisac (Women’s Tennis), yet
there is promise.) Luck's leadership led to the new baseball stadium and major
improvements in football and basketball facilities<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">There are those who thought ill of Eddie Pastilong, but he hired
Bob Huggins (2010 Final Four), Jon Hammond (six National Championships in 10
years), Nikki Izzo-Brown (National Runner-up), and Mike Carey (Ranked Women's
basketball team).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I believe the current success of the WVU Athletic Department as
a whole is a product of not just the administration, coaches and players, but
has to be credited in great part to alums and fans like us who provide emotional
and financial support. It probably doesn't hurt that WVU is the only game in
town (sorry, Marshall) for a small and poor state with a chip on our shoulder
(no respect, last in many good rankings and first in too many bad, the old
"West, by God" thing, etc. No pro teams to compete with (in begrudged

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Just announced was the transfer of Miami QB Jack Allison to WVU.
Since 2013, Holgorsen has somehow attracted quarterbacks from Florida State
(Clint Trickett, who did us proud), Florida (Will Grier, Parade Magazine 2014
Player of the Year), and now Allison, a four star recruit who will have three
years of eligibility after sitting out 20 17. Do we have QB play to look
forward to, or what?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Consider the team that Huggs has returning,
including National defensive player of the year Jevon Carter, Kentucky
antagonist Daxter Miles, Four Star Esa Ahmad, beast Sagaba Konate, and shooter
Lamont West. Anyone who hasn't should Google 2018 commit Jordan McCabe. The
only players I have watched who can shoot, handle the ball, and pass as well
are Pistol Pete Maravich and Stephen Curry. While you're at it, check on clips
of 2019 prospect Maceo Austin, from the same PA school that gave us Konate. I
can't wait for the next few BBall seasons.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I am sorry that I cannot provide more input to your SPORTS
SECTION of the newsletter, but the only sport that I normally pay a lot of
attention to is NASCAR and COLLEGE FOOTBALL. College football is on break right
now, and you do not seem to have any articles on NASCAR.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

supported the newsletter over the years and we appreciate it. I must admit that
even though I do follow NASCAR events, I would not be considered a big fan.
However, I'm sure that many of our readers follow the sport closely. If anyone
writes to us about any sports subject, we will publish it. So, come on NASCAR
fans, let us hear from you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Dale Earnhardt, Jr. recently announced his retirement as a
driver at the end of 2017. Why did he decide to leave? It seems to me that he
is the top superstar driver on the circuit. Maybe someone can help me on this.

stopped at our little house one time. His beloved friend Andy was with him. I
always have to remind people that the basketball team of 57-58 was probably the
best team ever. If Vincent hadn't broken his leg in the Southern Conference
Tournament, we probably would have been National Champions.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I couldn't agree with you more. They finished 26-2, losing to
Manhattan in the NCAA tournament. They really missed Don Vincent in that game.
West was the star, but Vincent, who was from Shinnston, was the glue that held
it all together. Other members of that team (not pictured) included Willie
Akers (I had an English class with him), W I's Bob Clousson and Jim Warren,
Bucky Bolyard from little Aurora, WV, Don Eddy from Fairmont, Jay Jacobs from
Morgantown, who currently assists Tony Caridi with WVU basketball broadcasts
and Ronnie Retton from Fairview (Mary Lou's father, who I was fortunate enough
to have played against). I could form a pretty good team with just these guys
and they were all from West Virginia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

seeing a home game in the old field house that season. Magical times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

last month's newsletter, we shared the first half of an article which appeared
in the May 6, 2017 issue of the BLUE & GOLD NEWS, written by Mike Snyder, WI 1957. Below is the second half of the article. I hope you enjoy reading this

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">As
conservative as we might have appeared in those days, remember that rock and
roll was in its heyday and Friday and Saturday nights when we could have dates
in the fraternity houses were very loud and raucous affairs fueled by alcohol
and rock and roll dancing. There was a rock dancing competition two different
years which were won by two of my frat brothers who danced with the same
Fairmont coed rocker who was nicknamed Bouncy, believe it or not.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="standard" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 23.9556px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">If
I recall there were about 19 fraternities and sororities on campus. There was
very spirited athletic competition throughout the year between the larger
fraternities for the All-Year Cup which my fraternity, Phi Sigma Kappa, won for
two of my years there. The Phi Sigs were also shut down socially for two years
for parties that were too wild and out of control for the administration to
overlook.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="standard" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 23.9556px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The
sports that I remember we competed in were: basketball, volleyball, track,
swimming and diving, and archery. I scored points for my fraternity in the last
three events. Many of the athletes competing were all-staters, some of which
could have competed in lower division college competition. We also had varsity
athletes living in the fraternity houses. In ours were baseball and soccer
players, a couple of track guys, a Southern Conference wrestling champion, and
several football players including Jim “Shorty” Moss, the Mountaineer running
back. Shorty was a guy we all thought a lot of, not just because he was a
top-notch athlete, but he was friendly and easy going, and always seemed to
have a confident grin on his face. Shorty went on to become a Marshall football
coach who lost his life in that team's horrific plane crash in 1970.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="standard" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 23.9556px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Another
big event on campus worth noting was one that brought out a very positive
aspect of fraternities. The annual Mother's Day Sing competition held in the
Field House. We practiced hard for several months and then donned tuxedos or
dinner jackets and tried to sing like the angels for our moms whom we escorted
afterwards back to the frat houses for a dinner banquet in their honor.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="standard" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 23.9556px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Also
I would like to pay tribute to the 1960-61 Mountaineer mascot Bill McPherson
from Parkersburg. All male students were required to take at least two years of
Army or Air Force ROTC. We had to wear our uniforms every Tuesday and Thursday.
Some students spent two more years in ROTC and graduated as officers. Bill
McPherson was one of them. He lost his life while serving in combat early in
the Vietnam War.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="standard" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 23.9556px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I
have to admit that I let my studies slip at times during my years at WVU. I was
booted out of the University three times for bad grades. In 1961-62 I was on
active duty in the USMCR which shaped me up so much that when I returned to the
University my grades shot up above the 3.0 mark and I earned my AB degree in
history. I graduated in the summer of 1963, packed a knapsack and headed for
Europe. My travels that fall and winter took me from Norway to Morocco and when
I returned home in January 1964 I was without a dime to my name.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="standard" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 23.9556px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">My
life took a lot of turns in a lot of different jobs and places afterwards, many
of which were very unconventional. But eventually my path lead me back home to
West Virginia, and later at age 40, I graduated WVU grad school earning a master's degree and
spent three rewarding decades as a school teacher. My wife Jill and I raised our
son and daughter here in the mountains near Harman in Randolph County where I
continue to write, hunt and fly fish, blacksmith, and raise heritage apples.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I wrote in May of
2015 to tell of my sister (Gerry Danley Bennett's) death to anyone who was
fortunate enough to have known her. She graduated in the W.I. Class of 1952. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Now sadly, I am
writing for the same reason about her husband, Jim Bennett, who died June 1,
2017. Jim was also a member of the W.I. Class of 1952. He was a devoted husband
to Gerry, and missed her terribly. They were happily married for 61 years and
had 2 children, 3 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Rest in Peace
