In case anyone missed these since I posted them on the Web updates topic, I will also post them here:
More fun - Ann Womack, Class of 65 sent some photos of the Class of '65 - 40th Reunion.  Also included are some teachers -- Mr. and Mrs. Bob Zopp; Mr. and Mrs. Don Smith; and Mr. Anderson!

Thank you, Ann and anyone else who took the photos. These are very enjoyable!

These pictures are just terrific. Hindsite is always 20/20, but wouldn't it have been wonderful if someone would have had the foresite to have bought M. R. Lumber Company, preserved it as it was and kept people trained to show how 'things used to be'----what a tourist attraction that could have been! The King Coal Hotel could be full every summer!
Thanks Warren!

Andy Aide Pendleton forwarded two photos of Gerry Mitchell who dropped by her house during a recent trip to Rainelle. Gerry wrote to me that, "she gave me breakfast and took me on a wild electric golf cart ride around the Rainelle Golf Course and cemetery. You can not believe!!!!! "HA"."
Here are two photos of Gerry, probably still in shock from the ride:

I think I'll ride with someone else when I come to Rainelle. Kidding aside, Andy is a great hostess, as Gerry passed on to me. He had a wonderful time.
I'm glad we finally get a chance to show photos of Gerry, the man who has contributed so much to making this site a success. Once again, Gerry, thank you!!!

Kenneth Napier has done it again. He has sent an amazing collection of historical photos of Rainelle, East Rainelle, Hawks Nest, Slab Town, the flood, parades, old tickets, cards, etc., etc. This is wonderful to view -- a real treasure. THANK YOU, KENNETH!! Dale

Today is bonus day - you get 3 updates for the price of one. Gerry is back and busily scanning historical items. This piece of history is a Rainelle Methodist Church directory from 1966 to 1971. Some of the photos are a bit older than that. Terry Clower was kind enough to loan us the directory. Gerry Mitchell scanned it. We hope you enjoy it: http://www.rainellereunion.com/photos.html#clower

George "Tink" Collins sent an e-mail saying, "The photo was taken by Tom Ocheltree, Dale Ocheltree's brother. He was a professional photographer for years and took many RHS yearbook photos. The photo is ca. 1955. I will check my files to verify specific date.
A large wall-size blowup of this photo was in the old Greyhound Bus Station when it was in the building that also housed Flint's Hardware. It was moved to the "new" bus station when Ray Smith move the station and his drug store to across from B. T. Collins's electronics shop (Reba's grandfather). There was also a giant blowup of the Anjean coal tipple. I hope someone saved those two blowups."
Andy Aide Pendleton is looking into finding the photos. If anyone knows where they are, please let us know.

YES I FOUND ALL THREE PHOTOS.....
http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slideshow.jsp?mode=fromshare&Uc=prxi0xw.16iyi7mc&Uy=f4yjvg&Ux=0
They are now personally owned and can be viewed by anyone....They are located on seventh street in the office of Frankie Martin.
I have taken pictures of the pictures of Rainelle that once hung on the wall of the ole Bus Terminal. Again you will have to overlook my picture taking expertise. Dale will be in Memorial Day Weekend, therefore I will encourage him to take better photos......

 OH MY GOODNESS!!! That picture of the C & O Engine and the railroad people is my family!! That is when my grandpa, M. C. Gadd retired. We got to ride the engine around the train yard with him it was his "last ride". He was an engineer.
The little tiny girl on the front right is my sister, Sharon, I am beside her, my brother Delmas (deceased in 1974 at age 28)beside me, my sister Karen (RHS 1967)next to him and my cousin Arlene, also RHS next to her. I am standing in front of my grandfather. Sharon is in front of my grandmother. In the far right is Verla Lewis, my step-mother, standing in front of my father, Arnold "Big Stoop" Lewis. Is that Mr. Wickline standing beside my Dad? Well, that's my clan. My mother had passed away that year. |

Marilyn, how nice! It is great to see photos of some of the people's names I have heard and your lovely family. I remember Delmas well, of course, and Mr. Buster. Did you have a copy of this photo? Some great history is being uncovered and memories revived.
