Comments: Beulah Sweeney ('62)and I got married in 1964 and left the Beckley area,
initially to Covington, Va. We 'settled' in Parkersburg, WV for 22 years and raised three
wonderful children. Completed my Bachelor and Masters degrees from Marietta
College, Beulah got a BS from Glenville College and MS from WVU. She's currently a teacher
near Sevierville, Tn. I've worked in Plastics industry in mostly R&D roles entire career.
After the youngest son graduated from HS, we changed companies and
relocated several times, are now settled in Dandridge, Tn where we plan to retire in a few
years. We have 2 grand children. It's hard to believe the years have passed this fast, but
they've been good and we're thankful to the good Lord for his blessings.
It would be great to have a 40 year reunion in '02. We'd love to hear from any of our former
class mates.
