Pagliaros 4-for-4 this week

Melanie Ann Pagliaro, policy analyst for the Majority Leader in the West Virginia House of Delegates, this week enjoyed Greenbrier Classic golf in White Sulphur Springs, a Monongah reunion, a Maroon 5 concert and time with her parents, Rosemary Raymond Pagliaro and Carmen Pagliaro, who live in Fairmont.

Writes Melanie: “Great day yesterday.” I’ll bet. It’s always a great day when you’re with family.

Melanie, originally from Monongah, got her master’s in education administration at Marshall University after graduating from North Marion High and Fairmont State. She lives in Charleston. She resided in Fairmont 2003-2007.

Rosemary, Class of 1958, is the daughter of Mary Dudiak Raymond and Angelo Raymond and the sister of the late Bob Raymond, Class of 1951, of Fairmont.

Bob was a U.S. Navy veteran of the Korean conflict, a former employee of Fairmont Box Factory and retired from Creative Labeling.

Bob’s widow, Susan Russell Raymond, lives in White Hall.  Bob and Susan’s children are Paula, married to Sam Adkins and living in Idamay; Robin Long of Colfax; Mary Harr of Pleasant Valley; and another Bob Raymond, married to Susie and living in Fairmont.

Maroon 5, formerly Kara’s Flowers, is a pop rock band out of Los Angeles. Adam Levine does lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Jesse Carmichael is on keyboards and guitar, Mickey Madden on guitar, James Valentine on rhythm guitar, Matt Flynn on drums and P.J. Morton fills in for Carmichael from time to time.

There’s a $6.5 million in purse at the White Springs, West Virginia golf event on the 7,287-yard Old White course. Bill Hurley III leads Angel Cabrera by two strokes heading into Sunday’s final 18 holes. Sweden’s Jonas Blixt won last year.

You can also stroll among the scenic splendor where Presidents, Senators and Congress members walked, and above the cement underground bunkers that were to be the safe houses for politicians if American got into a nuclear war.
