Merlin Davidson recovering from hip replacement
Patty Timms Davidson, Merlin Davidson

Merlin Davidson, Class of 1957, and Patty Timms Davidson, Class of 1958, missed the Monongah High alumni reunion Wednesday in Punta Gorda, Florida.

(see article below this one about the Punta Gorda reunion.)

They attended last year, but had a good … and bad … reason for being absent this time. Merlin had his other hip replaced Jan. 26.

Patty reports that Merlin’s recovery is going well.

Merlin was quarterback of the 1955 Monongah High state champ football team and the 1956 state runnerup team. And was on the basketball and baseball teams for 4 years, including the 1955 team that won Monongah’s only state baseball title.

So Merlin is a rare two-time Lion king in the state of West Virginia.
