Sue
Schrader, Class of 1971, saw a man wearing a WVU shirt while they were vacationing
with her sister, Kitty Morrison, Class of 1968, and waiting in line for a tour
of a home in Savannah, Georgia.
So, of
course, they stopped and chatted with him, as Mountaineers do all over the
world.
He was
orthodontist and 1989 WVU School of Denistry graduate Dr. Glenn Boyles and his
wife, Dr. Laura Withers-Boyles. They met while being dental school classmates,
married in 1989 and have two children, MacKenzie and Catherine.
Kitty explains:
The strangest thing
happened today. We were standing in line waiting to take a tour of a home in
Savannah, Georgia. There was a couple standing behind us and Sue noticed he had
WV on his shirt so naturally that started a conversation about where they lived
in WV. He said Fairmont and I said I live in Monongah. He said I have a couple
girls who work for us, one being Megan. That is Megan Hawkins, Linda McCullough’s
daughter. I said Linda, her mom, she is taking care of my dog. They said we
know about Penny (Kitty’s dog) and knew you were coming here. Wonderful couple.
We had to call and tell Linda. Small world. We all took tour together and
enjoyed their company. Was nice to meet Laura and Glenn Boyles.
I wear my WVU shirts and jackets and caps when I travel, to 56
countries so far, and have fellow West Virginians stop and talk to me because I
do, in China and Thailand and Egypt and Europe. Mountaineers love to run into Mountaineers
anywhere in America or the world!
The Ahouse sisters also had a cousins reunion at Tybee Island, a barrier island and small city near Savannah.
The cousins are Alice Burgess of Texas, Linda Fratto of Lumberport, WV, Vicki
Black of Milford, Ohio and Jo Chaconas of Alexandria, Virginia. Jo’s twin, Kay
Leslie, stayed home because Kay’s daughter just had a baby.
Kitty added: “It was the first cousins trip since 2019 because
of covid.”
