3 weeks till Monongah High reunion at Meredith home in Sarasota

Bill Meredith, Class of 1957, and wife Roleta will be hosting the 3rd annual Monongah High Alumni Reunion/Sarasota in their home at noon Feb. 6.

Roleta is a Clarksburg Washington Irving High graduate.

Call John Olesky at (330) 388-4466 or Bill at (941) 342-0030 so that Roleta will know how many to prepare food for and so that Bill can give your name to the guard at the guardhouse entrance to their complex so that you can have access to their street.

Bill’s directions to his home:

3201 Charles MacDonald Drive. 

To get to our home from I-75, take exit 207 (Bee Ridge Rd.) and go east about 1½  miles to Gary Player Drive.  Turn left onto Gary Player Dr. and proceed to the gate.  All names will be given to the guardhouse.  Once through the gate, go to the first stop sign (Tom Morris Dr.)  Turn right on Tom Morris and go to the first street on the right, which is Charles MacDonald.  Turn right and proceed about 1/4 mile to our home on the right side at 3201.  The number is on the mailbox.

If you are in Florida and can’t wait that long for a Monongah High reunion, Paula and I are in The Villages, Florida for three months – through March 31, 2015.

Call John Olesky at (330) 388-4466 and we’ll arrange a Monongah High alumni get-together.

If you won’t know where The Villages is, it’s about 30 to 40 minutes from Orlando and Tampa and farther north than both.

March 1 will be West Virginia Day Picnic in The Villages, so you may see hundreds of Mountaineers in one place. Call John if you can make it and he’ll try to arrange a table for MHS grads.

I know that Pat Meredith Wills, Class of 1950, and John Matkovich, Class of 1948, and wife Dolores Sweede Matkovich, Class of 1953, plan to be there. Pat and husband Don Wills have a winter home on Crescent Beach south of St. Augustine Beach, Florida and spend summers in Fairmont. John and Dolores live in Palm Harbor, Florida, which is near St. Petersburg.
