Jim Pulice, Greg Patrick, John Hall, Donna Trickett, Ron Yanero

VOCan’t break up this ol’ gang of mine UO

The Beatles broke up, but the Jenna Won’t Sing Band, #1 in Monongah, doesn’t let Ron Yanero’s recovering from a stroke at Pierpoint medical facility keep them apart, even if Yoko Ono shows up.

John Hall joined Greg Patrick and Jim Pulice with Ron.

Ron’s Jenna bandmates have Lions blood: Greg, Class of 1970, social studies teacher at Fairmont Catholic School, after 37 years at Miller Junior High and West Fairmont Middle School; and Jim, Class of 1969, retired Monongah Middle School principal and son of Jim Pulice, Class of 1948. Jim’s son, Eric Pulice, also is part of the Jenna band.

Pamm Yanero Bragg, Class of 1969, describes Ron as her cousin.

Pam’s father was Fred Yanero, who had the two-story house on Pike Street Extension on my way to the Mill Fall home of my uncle, Frank Loss, and my aunt, Gezala Futten Loss, to pick up milk.

 

Arnold Loss and wife Suzanne Barr Loss, Class of 1948, bought the farm from Frank and Gezala. All four are deceased.

Pam is first cousin to Frank Yanero, Class of 1964; Rick Yanero, Class of 1971; Chris Yanero, Class of 1971; and Kim Yanero, Class of 1974.

Through her dad, Pam is second cousin to Jerry Koloskie, Class of 1975, University of Albany (in New York) deputy athletic director.

Fred was the uncle of Jerry’s mother, Julia Monell Koloskie, Class of 1944, John Koloskie, Jr.’s late wife.

Don and Ron Evans are Pam’s second cousins.
