COME JOIN US IN FLORIDA FOR 2024 FEBRUARY LIONS REUNION!!!

 

Want to join February 2024 Lions Reunion in Florida?

 

John Olesky, Class of 1950, and Bill Meredith, Class of 1957, if enough people show up, are planning a Monongah High Alumni Reunion in February (date to be determined depending on how many respond and which date would draw the most people).

If you would attend a Lions Reunion in Florida in February in the Saraota area, please email John Olesky at jo4wvu@neo.rr.com with

Your name

MHS graduation year

Which city you will be in Florida in February

Your phone number.

 

I will contact everyone when we see how many would show up. Bill will determine the restaurant location, hopefully with a private room so that only Lions will be in the room.

It might be our Last Hurrah!

Let John and Bill know if there’s enough interest.

In 2012 there were 8 Lions and their companions at a Lions Reunion in Florida.

 

The 2012 Monongah High Florida Reunion was attended by

Bill Meredith, Class of 1957

Lyla Cosner Howell, Class of 1958

Pat Slovekosky Morris, Class of 1979

I look forward to hearing from as many Lions as possible.

  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.
