When I look at the December birthday for Monongah High Alumni,
Otis “Sarge” Shaver’s name pops out at me.
Sarge is Class of 1948, which makes him even older than me, a
Class of 1950 graduate. There’s aren’t many of those still above ground.
Sarge is the oldest Lion on my MHS alumni graduation list for
December.
Sarge lives on Old Monongah Road. His siblings are Jim Shaver, Class of
1954, who resides Old
Monongah Road when he's not visiting his wife's native Peru, and their sister,
the Rev. Elizabeth Ann “Betty” Shaver Wycoff, who lives on the Shaver Farm on
Old Monongah Road.
Sarge’s son, Mark Shaver, has a daughter, Audra Tucker,
who is Sarge’s oldest granddaughter and lives in Greensboro, North Carolina,
where Sarge frequently winds up.
Ten-hut!!! If you want to
wish Sarge a happy birthday, a phone call to (304) 290-0201 will do it.
If you're tech-savvy, his email address is Sargeotis@Yahoo.com
I’m sure Otis would love to hear from Sarge’s Army.
If your name is not on this list, email John Olesky
at jo4wvu@neo.rr.com with your full name, including maiden name,
your birthday date, your graduation year and your current hometown.
