Ron Manzo, Class of 1969, and wife Janice Manzon, a 1971 Fairview High grad, are in the Alps as a pre-42^nd wedding anniversary honeymoon. June 22^nd is their wedding day. June 23 is Ron’s birthday.

They’ve enjoyed beer in Germany, too during this trip.

And probably yodeled happily in “The Sound of Music” country in the Austrian Alps. Julie Andrews and the Von Trapp Family, eat your hearts out!

Ron and Janice have five children – starting with the oldest, they are Evan, Andrew, Aaron, Ashley and Jared. They have two grandchildren in Illinois.

Ashley is with Ron and Janice in Europe.

Andrew lives in Lady Lake, Florida and works for The Villages’ Village Sun newspaper. Take my word for it: Andrew is an excellent golfer. He whipped me good when we played during my winter stay in The Villages, Florida with Paula.

Ron works for Consol Energy, the Bailey mine. This is Miners Holiday time, so they were free to roam around Europe.

Janice is into physical therapy, once with Lakeview Fitness Center.

Ron and Janice live in Morgantown.

Ron’s sister is Monongah’s First Lady, Debra Manzo Vandetta, Class of 1973, married to Monongah Mayor Greg Vandetta.
