We have found a class ring from your high school and would like to return it to its owner. The year is 1973 with a red colored stone. There is a B on one side and an eagle on the other. the initials inside may be FLC. If you could put this on your website I would appreciate it and maybe we can get the ring back where it belongs.

Thank you,

We have three boys, all married, CR (29), Bill (27), and Stephen (25). We also have three wonderful grandchildren (and counting?). Staying in Beckley to be close to family and raise our children was one of the best decisions we ever made. My mom is still working at the Barber shop on Valley Drive, and Betsy's Mom and Grandmother were able to enjoy the children as they grew up. In 1990, I realized a life long dream of owning my own business, and in 2000 became principal shareholder, Chairman, and CFO in an environmental engineering/consulting firm, Alliance Consulting. Boss/Main Squeeze Betsy still has the glamorous job as homemaker, babysitter, and landscaper. (all homemakers understand the many hats they have to wear to do their job) Now that our boys have graduated from college as engineer, chef, and computer scientist, :) WHEW!!!!!, we can enjoy being crazy once again...after all these years. We look forward to seeing you all at the reunion in August.

Comments: WWHS CLASS OF '73! WVU Class of '77. I've turned into a System Administrator. Caught the computer bug when I moved to the Bay Area in 1984 (San Mateo, CA). Moved to Albuquerque in 1996, and enjoy the desert. Sandia Crest (elev. 10,628 ft) turns pink at sunset. Into mtn biking, scenic photography, and, of course, sewing. Great husband no kids. Abq Balloon Fiesta every October is awesome. Glad to see so many old classmates are still alive and kickin after those wild & crazy years at WWHS :) Live Long and Prosper.
