Super Susan just getting started
Susan
Staron Sanders, Class of 1971, is not stopping at the current
seven Christmas lights on Monongah posts. She wants the town lit up even more
for Christmas 2016.
The town
of Whitehall donated seven lights it had to the town of Monongah when Whitehall
got new Christmas street lights. Donations paid for erecting the lights,
including mine, which was enough to put up one light.

Susan,
who lives on the 2nd house from Church Street on Thomas Street,
which was occupied by the Mangino family during my childhood before they moved
to Philadelphia . . .
Well,
let Susan tell it:

“Happy New Year’s Everyone, Hope you all had a great one and
Christmas as well. I just want to say I'm sure you all enjoyed the new
Christmas lights as much as I have. They could leave them there all year
wouldn't bother me a bit. (LOL).
“Just letting you know just because the Holiday is over does not mean I
will stop working on getting more lights for next year, but we need more
donations and fundraisers to make our town complete as I'm sure you all
would want.
“Art is working on getting me more poles numbers so we will be ready. Again
I thank all of you wonderful people and businesses for your help and
donations.
“Me my girls will be planning another fundraiser and will
let you all know when.
“God Bless You All!
“Susan.”
Susan is about the nicest human tornado in Monongah.
Her “girls” include Valerie Vandetta Aldridge, Class of
1973; Teena Field Ailstock, 1984 North Marion grad; and Mareca
Savonarola.
Susan and husband Ron Sanders live next door to
Mayor Greg Vandetta and his wife, Janice Manzo Vandetta.
Thomas Street is famous (in my mind) for being the
childhood home of John Olesky, Class of 1950, once he left the Walnut
Street home of his grandparents, where he was born. I got to freeze my butt
off every Winter when I visited the two-holer outhouse at the end of our
Thomas Street rental, where the alley and the garages were located.
