Recently we have mentioned floods, train wrecks, and those who lost their life in wars. That some how, I guess, brought to mind a tragedy in Rainelle I remembered. It was during a flood and if I recall correctly, the young lads name was Jerry Slaven (unsure of the spelling). Don’t know if he was in a boat alone or playing along the bank during the heavy runoff of a storm. I think he was somewhere along Little Sewell when last seen. His body was found somewhere down in the area of the C&O water tower as I recall. This was the only tragedy that I can remember from Rainelle. Perhaps Connard can fill in some details.
And now on the lighter side:
Reporter):
Hello, everyone, this is your action news reporter with all the news
that is news across the nation, on the scene at the supermarket. There
seems to have been some disturbance here. Pardon me, sir, did you see
what happened?
(Witness):
Yeah, I did. I's standin' overe there by the tomaters, and here he
come, running through the pole beans, through the fruits and vegetables,
nekkid as a jay bird. And I hollered over t' Ethel, I said, "Don't
look, Ethel!" But it's too late, she'd already been incensed.
So funny Chris, Amazing how simple life used to be and how we laughed at this song. Wonder how it would sound if it was remade and recorded as a rap song?

(Reporter):
This is your action news reporter once again, and we're here at the gas
station. Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened?
(Witness):
Yeah, I did. I's just in here gettin my car checked, he just appeared
out of the traffic. Come streakin' around the grease rack there, didn't
have nothin' on but a smile. I looked in there, and Ethel was gettin'
her a cold drink. I hollered, "Don't look, Ethel!" But it was too
late. She'd already been mooned. Flashed her right there in front of
the shock absorbers.
Here he comes, look at that, look at that
There he goes, look at that, look at that
And he ain't wearin' no clothes
Oh, yes, they call him the Streak
Hey MJ you ladies still play bridge on Saturday night? I thought I might look over your shoulder sometime. If it wouldn't make you nervous. |

Hello Mary Jane, I know some about Jerry Slaven, I went to school with him From the 1st or 2nd grade in E. Rainelle and then in RHS until the time of his death I believe was in 1948 or 1949. He would have Graduated with the class of 1953 . He and I were good friends ,Played together quite a bit. I still have his autograph in a small autograph book. In it he wrote “ when we are old enough we will join the Navy together “ Neither of us made it. He was canoeing in the swollen Meadow River with others I believe when his canoe capsized and was Drowned. If I remember correctly he was found a day or two later by his Brother In the area that you spoke of. It’s been a long time since that tragic event so I hope my memory is some what correct.If any one knows more accurate details please jump in.

I thought you might enjoy a space slide show. Just click on the dates and the slide show will open.
What class was it in school that we studied the planets? I don’t remember.
I know we didn’t have pictures like these.

another one: Phil Harris
While I was walkin' down the beach
One bright and sunny day
I saw a great big wooden box
A-floatin' in the bay
I pulled it in and opened it up
And much to my surprise
Oh, I discovered a...
Right before my eyes
Oh, I discovered a...
Right before my eyes
I picked it up and ran to town
As happy as a king
I took it to a guy I knew
Who'd buy most anything
But this is what he hollered at me
As I walked in his shop
"Oh, get out of here with that...
Before I call a cop"
"Oh, get out of here with that...
Before I call a cop"
I turned around and got right out
A-runnin' for my life
And then I took it home with me
To give it to my wife
But this is what she hollered at me
As I walked in the door
"Oh, get out of here with that...
And don't come back no more"
"Oh, get out of here with that...
And don't come back no more"
--- Instrumental Interlude ----
I wandered all around the town
Until I chanced to meet
A hobo who was lookin' for
A handout on the street
He said he'd take most any old thing
He was a desperate man
But when I showed him the...
He turned around and ran
Oh, when I showed him the...
He turned around and ran
I wandered on for many years
A victim of my fate
Until one day I came upon
St Peter at the gate
And when I tried to take it inside
He told me where to go
Get out of here with that...
And take it down below
Oh, get out of here with that...
And take it down below
The moral of this story is
If you're out on the beach
And you should see a great big box
And it's within your reach
Don't ever stop and open it up
That's my advice to you
'Cause you'll never get rid of the...
No matter what you do
Oh, you'll never get rid of the...
No matter what you do

Marilyn, I loved the music of our time, but can't say that I grasped the meaning of many of the lyrics. Perhaps the writer intended to lighten the mood of those mopping floors in homes or the sailors/swabbies who spent many hours mopping decks.  That's OK. The songs were great fun and weren't really meant to enlighten or educate. Dale

While ago there was a golf challenge or sorts made, wedges from 50 yds., closest to the pin. I’m not sure if it was accepted.
Well during a round from this past Saturday playing a 6,743 yd par 72 course I was part of a 2 some playing behind a 4 some
and we had lots of time to mess around and stay ahead of the following group. I had time to measure my wedge shots, many times
using a fairway marker and other times walking it off. Pin distance was walked off. I could be a yard or two off on the yardage
and a few inches off on the distance to the pin. I had an 87 with 1 penalty, 29 putts. My shot of the day was a knock down 6 iron that
from the light rough, 145 yds that was a little draw around two trees and onto the green about 25 feet.
Now a reply or acknowledgement isn’t necessary but someone will sleep better if you do.
