| John, Jackie, Belinda, LaQuita |
Jackie Olesky Straight, Class of
1955, who lives in Rivesville, displays her early birthday present from her
brother, John Olesky, Class of 1950, who lives in Tallmadge, Ohio.
Jackie’s birthday will be Thursday,
September 5 but John delivered the WVU shirt on Saturday, September 3 before
the Mountaineers’ season opener against Missouri.
As a second birthday gift,
WVU beat the Tigers, 26-11, and clearly were the better team against its
opponent from the Southeast Conference, the No. 1 league in college football.
Also in the photo is Jackie’s
daughter, Belinda Straight Morris, who serves as John’s personal shopper who
picks out the gifts for Jackie since John is incompetent in that area, and John’s
daughter, LaQuita Olesky Timberlake, the Mary Turkovich of the Aurora, Ohio
school system.
It was a hot, sunny day more suited
to baseball, but wet towels and water poured over the head prevented heat
strokes.
Jackie’s daughter, Renee Straight, a
pharmacist at WVU’s Ruby Memorial Hospital, had to work but joined the other
four gold-clad, happy victors at the Olive Garden on Granville’s University
Town Centre hilltop for the celebration dinner.
