| Ron: No, I don't remember the Christmas parties but I do remember the decorations they hung down in the windows each year and I remember seeing activity in the garage. Thinking of that garage reminds me of Dr. Cales. I will never forget Dr. Cales and his tall presence in Rainelle. I can picture him standing out front of the garage after he and Jim Bryant bought it - he was waiting for the dentist office to open to go over there. He was a friend to all. When I think of Rainelle in the later years, I think of K.C. Farren, Dr. Cales, Randy Pendleton, Arnold Spitzer, Ralph Williams, Scotty Rhodes, Mr. Bowman, Pat Vaughn, Sonny Walker, so many more that kept the wheels of Rainelle going and love/d our town. |

Ron and Ml,
I do not remember the Christmas Party at Boley Cheverolet. The Boley's were also at the top of Mariyn's list. The Boley Brothers are now just memories. KO had died several years ago. His brother Elzie just recently died, he was still ninety+ years young. Elzie was still mowing his lawn this past summer. Their wives were community and church leaders of Rainelle.
Ron we are looking forward to meeting you and other internet classmates at the reunion . We are planning on "a special time" where the internet classmates can meet and see the faces of the personality they have corresponded with through the past year.

Yes, Ron I remember the Christmas Parties, they were always held about two weeks before Christmas. Like Chris would say "That was the good old days"

For some great memories, go to www.youtube.com and type johnny carson into the search box. He was the best! Jack Benny always made me laugh. I did a search and saw some of his videos - great stuff! Dale

Dale,
I have been hearing about the website youtube. I did not really want to go to this site knowing that I probably would enjoy seeing the videos. I know the website is really habit forming.
I really think this site should have a big red label titled:
Warming this can be harmful to your time, when you enter expect to do little work for the rest of the day.
Thank you Dale I will most likely be in rehab for a few days. lol.

I have a question about Fleshman Hollow, if that is what it was called. Last week, I was in Springfield Massachusetts for depositions of an engineer and an architect in a civil lawsuit. The architect was Steve Fleshamn, who tetified he was from the Beckley area. During a break, we talked to the extent we could and I learned he has or had famnily in Rainelle and that there was a Fleshamn Hollow there. Steve, you might even be reading this sometime. I think you said you found the Rainelle Reunion website.
Where is that area around Rainelle? I was just curious.

It's a small world, isn't it???
There sure is a Fleshman Hollow! I live on Craig Road about 1/2 mile from there---the road connects Craig Road and James River and Kanawha Turnpike. We travel that way frequently using it as a short cut to the interstate, especially traveling east on I64. After a few correct twists and turns, you will come out at Sam Black Church. Of course, lilke all country roads, you can end up lots of places if you don't know the area!!! It is about 9 miles shorter than going back down through Rainelle and then on to the interstate.

Thanks. I'll have to check that out sometime.
AndI have to add, Springfield, MA, does not hold a candle to Rainelle, WV. Anywhere else, either. LOL |

| Can someone help me with the quote that was used either by Ms.West or Ms. Meadows? "The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer." Is that the correct quote and which lady used it? Thanks. Janet Estep |

Patty Cox - I recently found this website. I was born in East Rainelle and when I saw some of the posted pix I had to send them to my sister who lives in Florida. She recognized several names and yours was one of them! Her name is Beth Thrash (now Kinney). She only has her work computer for now so cannot become a part of this discussion. She would love to be able to contact you. She says you lived on our street and she traded comic books with you!! Anyway, is there some way the two of you can get in touch? I'm not sure how this forum works and if you can put personal info on here. Will look forward to hearing from you. Pam Thrash Bagwell
