Jim Davis searching for former buddy again

The Class of 1964 gathered Friday at the Three Ways Inn for a single-class reunion and then moved on to Saturday’s Monongah High Alumni Reunion at the Knights of Columbus on Mary Lou Retton Drive in Fairmont.

1964 joined 1954, 1974 and 1979 as honor classes.

But James Davis, Class of 1964, still is trying to locate one of the 1964 graduates. 

Jim wrote:

”I need a little help. I`m looking for a man by the name of Albert Carter who grew up on Center Street in Monongah and graduated from Monongah High School in 1964. He had two brothers who are deceased, Bobby and Nook and he had a sister. I lost track of Albert in the mid 60`s when a lot of us boys were drafted because of the Viet Nam War. The only thing I know about Albert is that he was an over-the-road truck driver, and he was wounded in Viet Nam. If anyone has info on Albert please let me know and I will follow up on it. Thanks for your help.

”Albert was a coal miner working at the Rochester and Pittsburgh Coal Company, later becoming the Four States Mine #20.”

If you know where Albert Carter is, go to Jim’s Facebook page and tell him that John Olesky sent you.

Albert’s brother, Robert, lived and worked in Louisville, Kentucky before he passed away.

Jim, who has been a mechanic/electrician at Four States Mine #20, Purglove #15 and Robinson Run #95, can be relentless when it comes to reunions with former Viet Nam buddies. In 2013 he drove 2,136 miles to visit an ol’ service buddy in Colorado.
