Bill’s bountiful birthday

Bill Meredith, Class of 1975, who lives in his Buckeye Lake, Ohio home when he isn’t in his Sarasota, Florida residence, enjoyed his birthday in Buckeye Land July 5.

Bill is married to Clarksburg Washington Irving High graduate Roleta.

Bill and Pat Meredith Wills, who lives on Crescent Beach in St. Augustine, Florida and Fairmont, are the last survivors of Charlie and Jane Meredith’s six children, all Monongah High alumni. The others were Jack Meredith, Class of 1943; Howard Joe Meredith, Class of 1945; Bonnie Meredith; Marion Jean Meredith Riddle, Class of 1945; and Marjorie Delores Meredith Holt, Class of 1947.

Pat Meredith Wills, Class of 1950, is married to Fairmont West grad Don Wills.

Pat and Bill and their spouses will be in Blackwater Falls State Park July 19 for the annual Meredith family reunion. Bill also is involved in another reunion, the third annual Monongah High Alumni Reunion/Sarasota in his Sarasota home at noon Friday, Feb. 6, 2015.

If you will be near Sarasota Feb. 6, 2015, email John Olesky at jo4wvu@neo.rr.com and let him know you are coming and if you’ll be bringing a guest so Roleta will know how many to provide food for. 

If you can't make it to Sarasota Feb. 6, but are close enough to visit Paula and me in The Villages, Florida while we're renting on Rainbow Drive for three months (January-March, 2015), email me or, if it's January, February or March, call me at (330) 388-4466 and we'll arrange a mini-Monongah High reunion.
