HELP ME WITH PLANNED APRIL ARTICLE! GIVE YOUR NAME AND GRADUATION YEAR IF YOU ARE COMING TO 100TH BANQUET MAY 27.

 

I am trying to compile a list of Lions who definitely will be coming to the 100th Monongah High Alumni Banquet on Saturday, MaY 27. 

If your name is NOT on the list, email John Olesky at jo4wvu@neo.rr.com or post on John Olesky Facebook page. List your graduation year. And full name of your guest, if any, and graduation year IF he or she is a Monongah High graduate.

It's the 100th Banquet of the longest-running high school reunion in West Virginia history so we want as many people as possible to show up. I'll be there. 

Look me up: John Olesky, Class of 1950. I have a frame with 2,500 revolving photographs, including more than a thousand with faces of Lions in the photos. Stop by and see if you're in some of them.

Let's make this the greatest MHS reunion since Greta Martin Mike's first reunion 1922!

Be there or be square. 

I will be taking and posting photos of everyone there that I can get to come to my table, too, for a June article on this blog.

I have 43 names so far. Let's TRIPLE  that number and stun the Mountain State with Monongah reunion activities!

  Military hero Leon Charles Trader Passes away   Leon Charles Trader, who started with the Class of 1966 at Monongah High but left to join the Army. He was wounded in Vietnam, earning him the Purple Heart.   Everson resident Joseph Bombard , Class of 1966 along with Joe’s wife, Marva Holt Bombard, told me:   “ John Olesky , I knew Mr. Trader very well. He would have graduated class of 1966 but he quit school and joined the Army and was sent to Viet Nam where he was injured and received the Purple Heart.   “We grew up together in Everson. We hunted, fished and played kids sports together. Both our fathers were coal miners in those days. We played our sports games in a pasture field. We where really close.”   Fishing buddies is correct. Leon’s obituary photo show him holding a LARGE fish!   Monongah High Alumni Association president Linda Lopez Gandy, Class of 1965 and living in Florida with husband Jim Gandy, Class of 1964, and Helen McDougal Mudry, Helen McDo
