Armed robbery at Pennsylvania road construction

My God, it’s not even safe to stop for road construction without someone putting a gun to your head?

Bill Davis

Bill Davis, Class of 1958, stopped at construction on U.S. 219 between Myersdale and Somerset in Pennsylvania when two guys came alongside each side of his truck. One pointed a gun to his head. The criminals only took his cash. They didn’t want a check or credit cards, anything that could be traced.

The bad guys were driving a red car. So beware of red cars in that area at the construction stop. Or bring a machine-gun with you if you drive there.

That’s near where U.S. 219 meets I-70/I-76 in case you want to know where to keep an eye out for the red car, assuming it wasn’t stolen.

It happened at the barriers where vehicles then merge onto the road.

Donna, Class of 1961, the Monongah High Alumni Association treasurer who collects the money for annual Reunion dinner-dance reservations, wrote:

“And to think I used to drive back to West Virginia by myself when I lived up in Pennsylvania.”

And, as Nancy Davidson Kantura, Class of 1955, responded: “Things were a little better then. The world is crazy now.”

Amen, Nancy.

Bill and Donna live in Monongah. Bill is on the Alumni Association board of directors.

Nancy is the widow of George Kantura. Their children are Amy Kantura, Chris Kantura, George Kantura IV, Jeff Kantura, Lee Kantura and Nancy Kantura Slater.
