Stepping into giant footsteps
Ashley Tenant is the new owner of the
Dairy Kone in Monongah. It’s on Camden Avenue (U.S. 19) across the street from
the baseball field that I once roamed with my friends still Alex and Angelo
Catania paved over it and turned it into a parking lot for their Sinclair
service station.
Amelia Shenasky Zentz and Bruce Zentz
had it constructed on a former Joe Hanus auto repair shop.
Subsequent owners were Chris Martin,
Monongah’s #1 photographer, Patt McCombs, Billie Hess, Milton Hurley, Larry and
Donna Anderson and Lloyd and Sandra Parish.
We played baseball on the empty land
behind the Thomas Street homes garages for their automobiles.
To keep from getting killed we made
it an automatic out if anyone hit the “baseball” (a rock covered in miners’
electricial tape) onto U.S. 19 in left field.
Many a joyous hour was spent there.
Baby showers were held at the Dairy
Kone for its employees.
Ashley is Financial Aid &
Scholarships director at Pierpoint Community & Technical College. She’s a
Fairmont State graduate married to Michael Tennant.
Dairy Kone address is 654 Pike Street
but I consider it on Camden Avenue (U.S. 19).
