REMEMBER THE SHEARS FAMILY OF THE 1940s AT MONONGAH HIGH? BOB SHEARS' SON, ALSO BOB SHEARS, RECONNECTS WITH CINDY CORDER
Blast from the past: Bob Shears
Bob Shears, 1978 Fairmont East
graduate, reconnected with 1980 North Marion graduate Cindy Corder.
His father, also a Bob Shears, Class of
1949, lived at 549 Camden Avenue and had a reunion with me in my Ohio home
decades ago.
Bob
Shears the son posted to 1980 North Marion graduate Cindy Corder Brooks:
“Our
house was on the corner of Camden and Walnut. The bank bought that whole block
I think it was like 71 or 72.”
Walnut
Street, at the intersection of Pike Street, is where I (John Olesky, Class of
1950) was born in the 2nd floor bedroom of my grandparents, Martin
Olesky and Marie Perumba Olesky.
Cindy told Bob Shears the 1978 son that
her sister graduated from Monongah in 1948. But I didn’t find a Corder in my
Monongah High graduates lists that go from 1918 through the final class in 1979
before Monongah merged into North Marion.
Bob Shears the son retired from the
Farmersville Fire Department and EMS Association. He studied EMS and Fire Classes
at Sinclair College. That’s Farmersville, not Farmington, which is
over the hill from my birthplace of Monongah.
This Bob Shears came from Pickens, West Virginia,
to Fairmont and married Sue Wellbaum Shears.
Jim Shears, Class of 1946, is Bob
Shears the father’s brother. Their father was another Jim Shears, a football
linebacker-sized man, as I recall.
