Hello to all, Jim's suggestion for a reunion place is a good one; another good place for a reunion is just across the Ohio River into W. Va and that would be at Olgeby Park. I graduated from Bellaire High School, Belmont Co and our Senior Class Picnic, and many other events were held at Olgeby Park.
