Huff & puff: 27!

Joe & Paula Fazio's daughter, 2005 North Marion grad Alex Fazio Huff celebrated her 27th Birthday on July 7th.  Alex is married to James Huff and lives in the Baltimore surburb of Bel Air with their 10-month-old daughter,  Charlotte Elizabeth Huff.

Paula Kerns Fazio, Class of 1979, daughter of the late Dorothy Stevenski Kerns, Class of 1942, and Wester Warren “Bud” Kerns, will have her birthday Aug. 9.

After a 12-week leave, Alex returned to Red Pump Elementary School in Bel Air, where she is a teacher. Alex graduated from Wheeling Jesuit University in 2009.

Paula’s brothers are Dave Kerns of Mannington and Donnie Kerns, who lives in Worthington with wife Linda, and her sisters are Pamela Kerns Ross, Class of 1970, who lives in Syracuse, Indiana, with husband Christopher Ross, and Patti Kerns Haught, who lives in Lumberport with husband Glen Haught.

The next birthday on my Monongah High Alumni birthday list is for Ted Nagel, who lives in Vinton, Virginia and Micco, Florida with wife Faye, on July 14. 

Ted’s sister, Jean Nagel Viglianco, who lives in Fairmont, will have her birthday July 16. They were born about 4 years apart. 

Their brother, Marty Nagel, Class of 1959, lives in Peninsula, Ohio, about 15 miles from my Tallmadge home.

Ted and Faye got together with Tom Dean and his late wife Rosemarie in Bedford, Virginia, halfway between Ted’s Vinton home and Tom’s Altavista, Virginia residence, in 2011. That same year he had a Florida reunion with Deloris Vingle Olender, Class of 1951, once the vocalist for the Ray Vingle band.

Marty is a WVU graduate and former WVU faculty member who moved from Chagrin Falls, Ohio to his current residence. He taught electronics at WVU.

If you aren’t in the MHS birthdays list below, email John Olesky at jo4wvu@neo.rr.com with your full name, including maiden name, your graduation year, your birthday date and your current hometown and I’ll add you to the list. 

You’d be surprised how many well-wishes you’ll get from Monongah High alumni on your birthday because they saw you mentioned in this Monongah High Alumni blog, which is becoming “the home away from home” for MHS grads to keep track of each other. 

Which is exactly why I spend so many hours doing this. Plus it keeps my journalistic juices flowing despite retiring from my 43-year newspaper career in 1996.
