Marilyn: I recollect “Bob Dylan” somewhat. A little research reminded me of “Blowin’ In The Wind” and “Mr. Tambourine Man”. Couple other songs were less familiar. Why?
Mary Jane: You are correct on all parts. Marta, Gretl, Brigitta, Friedrich, Liesl , Kurt, and Louisa the Von Trapp children from “The Sound Of Music”. I have cancelled the “Orange Alert”.
“Do You Remember” in school they always took attendance? Well for the next seven days we are taking attendance. Drop in and say "here, present, hi, hello, you can’t do this, this is unconstitutional, whatever, I never signed up for this, surely you can’t be serious" (another great opening). Raising you hand won’t work cause I’m not looking up.
ps: I’m using a pc w/windows xp and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Recommend that at least once a week you click on TOOLS, Internet Options, Delete Files, and then Delete Cookies.
That will get rid of those Temporary internet files and cookies. It will help your system run much smoother. If you have not done this for a while it may take a couple or few minutes.

It would be so enjoyable to see other members post their memories of Rainelle on here. I'm sure only a handful of businesses and memories have been listed. It's interesting to read the views and memories of everyone - each person has something to add. Come on Rangers, jump right in...i keep expecting to see a few of Mary's recipes from Polly or Hazel's recipes from Skipper... Where is Connard, Chris send out the search team... |

| Andy, I'm working on that, I think our classmates don't know how fond we are of them and are very interested in what they have to say...I would like to hear a story about the Drive Inn theatre and how much fun it was to go there and eat popcorn, toot the car horns at Norm if the movie stopped for a second (said with love and affection for Ryta and Norm)... let me see here, surely someone remembers seeing Sandy, Ginge, Genie Walker riding around town in the convertible with the top down - laughing of course...always smiling and laughing...does anyone remember Russ Jarrett and the delicious, fresh meats he sold in his store, the A & P and Mr. Shoemaker, George Brooks and Donald Pritt working there making the environmnent in the store so friendly and inviting to shop in...umm, thinking here ... Preacher Loving and his great sermons at First Baptist - his dedication to the young people and our BYF...Sylvia Sanford and her dedication to the young people of the church...Mr. Don Smith and his unerring wit and kind encouragement to his students (he tolerated me as the only girl in Science Class when I could not learn to sew in Home Ec)...the parking lot filled with cars at the old Meadow River Lumber Company...the boys all talking about fishing at the fishing ponds at the saw mill...mothers in dresses and pumps when we returned home from school in the evenings to perhaps homemade pudding for a snack...ok, andy, this is sounding old and mushy now...my last ditch effort hahaha. night. |

Chris Clause here, working the family business, and
I’m making a list, checking it more than twice
Better make sure you’re in or roll the dice 
Cause Dad will becoming to town
He will know if you have been here
If not you may feel a boot at your rear 
A couple of minutes is all it takes 
So get on the list for goodness sakes 
Cause Dad will becoming to town
===========================================================
But he grew old -
This knight so bold -
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell, as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Crichton Rupert Rainelle _____________ |

Marilyn, I'll tell a story about the drive-in that is embarrassingly true. Have you ever seen one of those people who, instead of admitting that a story is about them, say, "I had this friend." Well, at times, I am one of those people.
I had this friend whose parents were staunch Baptists and did not believe in movies. My friend thought they were old-fashioned, but later found out that they were far wiser than he will ever be. My friend was a junior in high school. He met a girl from out of town and shyly asked her on a date. To his surprise, she said yes. He asked her what she would like to do. She said she would like to go to a drive-in movie. My friend, was concerned, but didn't want to show how green he was in many areas. So, he calmly said, "sure".
My friend got his parent's car, picked up his date and worried all the way to the drive-in about whether he could pull it off without admitting that he had never been to the drive-in. Fortunately, when I, I mean he, pulled in, there was a car in front of him. He watched as the boy in the car in front of him paid the lady at the ticket building, then drove forward. My friend quickly paid and followed the other car. The car pulled up and removed the speaker and put it in car window. My friend did the same. So far, so good.
The boy in the car in front was obviously experienced and soon had his arm around his girfriend. My friend followed suit. My friend was able to watch others and get popcorn and cokes. His date was quite friendly and the movie was enjoyable, although my friend has no idea what movie played. After about an hour and a half, my friend's date suggested that they leave early, "to avoid the rush." My friend said something like, "yeah, I always like to do that." He was nervous and a bit excited, but was trying to sppear calm and savvy. He quickly turned the motor on and started to drive off. Two things happened at exactly the same time. There was a loud pop and the movie screen suddenly had graffiti all over it. The loud pop was the movie speaker cord stretching to its limit, then breaking with a loud snap. The graffiti, of course, was the movie ending. My friend panicked. He thought he had destroyed the entire theatre system and was going to be in big trouble. His date was rolling with laughter. His cover was blown. It is funny now, but I, I mean my friend, was very embarrassed in 1963. Dale

| Oh, how funny Dale. I can just picture that. Norm lost many speakers that way. My Dad and Norm were pals for years so we grew up going to the drive in. That is so funny. Hey, Dale, did you ever go back to the movies again?? |

Marilyn, I returned a few times and did not rip out any more speakers. However, I didn't park in the spot where I had the misfortune. I must not have been tbe first one to do it. They fixed it quickly. I did not tell anyone that story for a long time.

The Drive In was a great place. The Nutters gave me a part time job helping in the concession stand. I got free hot dogs, paid and got to see most of the movie.
That job and working for "Big Stoop" at the service station provided some super times in Rainelle.
One warm summer night at the service station a group of guys were hanging out. It was about 2:00 a.m. and we heard something that sounded like loud fire crackers going off just across the bridge near the Kroger store.
A few minutes later Keith Cook, the town policeman, came speeding into the lot. He had been chasing someone, tripped and as he was falling his gun went off and he shot himself in the foot.
The sound we heard was indeed his gun going off.
It wasn't funny and we got him medical attention. Later, however, there were those comparisons between he and "Barney of Mayberry". Of course I never engaged in any of the laughter......quite frankly it scared me quite a bit when it happened.
I respected what Mr. Cook did for our town and his son Lloyd is one of my dear friends I truly miss. |

Marilyn, The song you are speaking about is this:
"In The Hills of WV"
In the hills of WV theres a school I love
May it always burn in memory.
Blessed by God above.
Heres a toast to Rainelle High School,
From the young and old
Hail to thee our Alma Matar.
Hail Maroon and Gold.
Hope you enjoy going over this song. The best I remember a band director by the name of Mr. Taylor wrote the song in about 1952 or 53. Our class of '53 really did that song justice and we still remembered it at our 50th Class Reunion in 2003.
Please excuse the spelling of this old gal.
