Some of the folks at the Alumni meeting at the Museum Friday

A good time for friends to get together.   Ed Winarczyk, Harry & Debbie Yost

When we were young teenagers we ran together and were inseperable, life took us in different directions. After 49 years we were here together again. We were all at a loss for words, I know I was, but I don`t think words were needed, I think we knew how each other felt.  L to R  Roger "Stikes " Yates, Noah " June Bug" Robinson Jr." and Louis " Buddy " Garay. The original Elbert Red Dots , 1959 - 2009.

While chatting with friends and taking pictures  a guy walked up to us and took a picture , he looked familar so I looked at his name tag and almost fell over. We were in the same class at GHS and were friends but had not seen him since I was 15 when I left W.Va. Words cannot describe how I felt and as usual I was at a loss for words and failed to get his address or phone number.  Roger Yuhasz and Buddy G.

This guy walked right up to me and I knew who he was before he spoke although I had not seen him since I was 15 and he was 12. We lived across the street from each other in Elbert and were friends. He is the Baseball Coach at Mount View High School , folks meet Nick Shaffron. He said that he would be sending out thank you notes to all that donated money to the baseball team, and  wanted to express his thanks to all. He said that the team was competative this year?.....thats a polite way to put it Nick.....better luck next year!!

I had known Ms. Caroline Little at GHS but had not seen her since I left there and had never met Ms. Sherry Rose Miano but we chat regularly on the internet chat room on Barb Sims website , it was very nice to finally meet them,  both of them are lovely ladies and West Virginia friendly.

Don`t remember who took this photo but he aimed a little low, I challanged Ms. Carolyn to a race but she declined......It was nice to finally meet Ms. Deb Sharron Goins , we have talked on the chat room for a long time . ..........If you would like to join us on the chat room, all are welcome. The 1st of each month and the 15th. Just click on the Up In The Holler Page and then click on Barbs Almost Heaven Site. Or email me and I will direct you.       Debie if you have a better shot please send it to me.
