Danny and David Woods attended the 2014 Monongah High Alumni reunion.
When I phoned Ramona Fullen Michalski, Class of 1949, for details about the Woods family, it brought back memories to her of the families on McCue Street in Monongah during Ramona's childhood:
Tom Dean, the Woods family, the Boydoh family, Tommy Rogers, the Tartell family and the Godby family all lived on McCue Street at that time -- and, of course, the Fullen family. Later, Lawrence and Regina Boone Godby moved to their Camden Avenue (Rt. 19) home next to where brothers Angelo and Alex Catania covered up our "baseball field" to construct a Sinclair service station. The Catanias later moved to Covina, California.
The 2015 MHS Reunion will be Saturday, May 23, so keep your calendar clear so you can attend the dinner-dance and, if your class has a separate reunion Friday, May 22, the prequel dinner.
