Today is a doubleheader birthday for
a pride of Lions.
Sandy Weils Shaffer Cook, Class of
1959, is one of my favorite Lions. She lives in Fort Myers Beach, Florida with
husband Bob Cook. I’ve had Lions reunions with them at the home of Bill
Meredith, Class of 19??, in Sarasota, Florida. Sandy’s first husband, the late Michael
Shaver, Class of 1957, was a pitcher on Monongah High’s state champion baseball
team that included the incredible Frank DeMoss.
David Edwards is Class of 1976. He
served his country in the Air Force. He attended the 2005 annual Monongah High
Alumni Banquet, the longest running high school reunion in West Virginia
history that will have its 99th banquet Saturday, May 28 in
Fairmont. But despite HOURS of searching I wasn’t able to find a photo of David
Edwards. If you have one, send it to me on my Facebook page and I’ll add it.
March 25 also was the birthday of
Richard Fitzwater, Class of 1956, who passed away in 2019.
Josephine
Popovich Jones, Class of 1952, has a birthday March 28. Everyone knows her as Joey Jones. If she’s still alive then she
has been married to Sherwood Jones for 67 years as of July 31. Happy Hutchinson
honeys, they are. Their children are Ron
Jones, who also graduated from Monongah High, and Vanessa Jones Rodriguez, who
graduated from North Marion. Joey and Sherwood have 4 grandchildren: Erik
Jones, Kylie Jones and Cory Jones, all North Marion graduates,
and Aubrey Rodriguez, a 5-year-old who is Vanessa’s daughter. Joey has worked at the
Tygart Center as Personal Clothing Laundry Aide and at the Wishing Well.
Let me
know if anyone this 12 months Lions birthday list is deceased and I’ll remove
them. If you’re not on the list and want to me, give me your birthday and your
graduation year.
