Home Parades and Wartime Memories Highlight Local Notes
In May and June local readers celebrate graduations and bridal parades while recalling a WWII era Olympic troop ship tale from Point Marion residents Lou Delansky and Reed Miller. The piece also reports a Penn Street rummage sale by the Che-Mon Citizen Band Radio Club and cautions about snakes in Monongalia and Preston counties. It shares Mrs. L J Derigo’s Jack in the Pulpits letter, mountain plant trips, and notes on mountain tea and sassafras cookies. Camps proliferate along Cheat Lake as the page closes.
