| Gerry: Thank you for posting that article. We had forgotten how beautiful the inside of the RMC is. Ben Crookshanks is a fine writer and has had articles in many publications. Thanks to Gerry and thanks to Ben for good work as always. We so much enjoy these "touches of home". |

Hello everyone, Gerry Mitchell has located and scanned a very interesting 2002 article about the Rainelle Airport and Squire Haynes. The newspaper called it, "Downhome Meals At Airport Restaurant Attract Many Pilots." We will call it, Rainelle Airport, The Way It Used To Be. I had no idea it enjoyed such popularity. I think you will enjoy this article & photos - http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=u46feyk.8yeqp7qs&x=0&y=-w2lcbt
Andy will follow up with more information about the Restaurant and Squire. Dale

Hello everyone. Gerry Mitchell has done a wonderful job (with help from many of you) of locating, scanning and placing Meadow River Lumber Company pictures and information into slideshows. One slide show has more than 360 historic photos and articles. The collection is so impressive that we decided to devote a page to Meadow River Lumber Company history. Enjoy it at http://www.rainellereunion.com/meadow_river_lumber_company_rainelle.html

Hello everyone. Gerry Mitchell has been hard at work on several items - collecting, cropping and enhancing photos. He has also been patient with me until I found time to post them.
Some new items from Gerry include:
Trail Blazer, a bulletin published by East Rainelle Grade School in the 1940's sent by Kenneth Napier - http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=u46feyk.2yz3tuiw&x=0&y=fub0e
For a refresher on what it was like in 1941, see Betty June Altizer's poem, "We've Got To Whip The Japs" as well as Peggy Levisay's "My America" and the page "For The Service Of Our Country".
(The Trail Blazer was challenging to scan and enhance - great work, Gerry.)
Veterans and the 2007 Run For The Wall Photos and Comments From Rainelle School Children

A collection of old gas stations from the 30's, 40's and 50's.

Gerry has also spent a great deal of time on the Meadow River Lumber Company pictures and information. He has added an amazing number of pictures and other images (500+) to it. The slide show now has some pictures from The Greenbrier Historical Society Journal for which Kenneth Napier obtained permission for us to use on our site. The slideshow now has expanded information on the town and Rainelle and the surrounding area towns. To see the slideshow, plus several other Meadow River Lumber Company and related links, see our Meadow River Lumber Company page - http://www.rainellereunion.com/meadow_river_lumber_company_rainelle.html
Kenneth Napier has been working hard to find and get permission to use additional photos and information for the site. Thank you, Kenneth!
Gerry, once again, thank you for your hard work and faithfulness to the Rainelle memories, history and Website.

Thanks to Dale, Gerry and Kenneth for their continued work on articles and pictures. These new additions are great.
Although the Trail Blazer was printed before I was born, I can remember so many of the folks that were in the articles. I attended East Rainelle and always enjoy the pictures, etc. from that great school.
Thanks Again for another trip down memory lane!

Hello everyone. Colin Lively sent a link to a YouTube video - "Driving Through Rainelle". It made me homesick  - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=sgiGAzyAT5Y Thank you for sending it, Colin!
Gerry Mitchell sent a YouTube link of a run of the Meadow River Lumber Company Heisler #6 steam engine and a Shay engine similar to the ones Meadow River had used. Gerry reports that the Heisler is an acutal Meadow River engine that was sold to Cass, WV in 1968. As Gerry relayed to me, it is exciting to watch since it has the actual sounds and view of the engine, including the whistle - that Gerry and many of us have not seen and heard in many years - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GfQqFEFzwpE The YouTube video is linked from the very nice Meadow River page that Gerry continues to update so well - http://www.rainellereunion.com/meadow_river_lumber_company_rainelle.html

It is good to see the new posts on here. As some of you may know, I lost my sister Karen on March 11. She put a gallant fight against cancer but it was the victor in the end. It seems everyone is "going away". I thank you so much for all your prayers over the past 15 months. God Bless You.
Janet, I clicked on your myspace page but it said it had been deleted or changed.

Hello everyone. J. W. Puckett loaned us a Meadow River Lumber Company Festival Book. Gerry Mitchell painstakingly scanned 181 photos from the book which contains a history of Rainelle and the Meadow River Lumber Company from 1906 to 1970, complete with a very interesting list of people who worked at Meadow River Lumber Company over the years. Thank you once again, Gerry. Enjoy the book at http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=u46feyk.1x1cx4hc&x=0&y=-qpqenp&localeid=en_US The book and more information is also linked from the Meadow River page on the Website.
If you have additional photos or books that we can add to this online Rainelle Museum, please contact Gerry. He is wonderful about organizing the information and working hard to put it on the site. Dale
