Hello Richwood, I am not sure if anyone will remember me, I lived in Richwood for a few years in the late 70's and attended RHS there for that period of time. I then moved back there again in the early 90's for about a year. I found your site, and started remembering what it was like to live there. My mother was born and raised there, she was Mary Lee Meadows, related to Charles Meadows that was very well known when he was alive. If anyone remembers me or my mother, please email me and tell me what you remember, would love to touch base with old friends, and relatives that are still there. dfh24691

Does anyone have a current address or phone # for Shelva Green, Class of '58? Think she married Charles W. Robinson. I enjoy the website and appreciate those who maintain it.

Dear Richwooders, I recently visited your town looking for the death date of my great grandfather, Anton Boskovic. After speaking to various persons who were all extremely nice to me, I visited Holy Family church and the parish priest there located the information for me. Anton Boskovic had died on April 19, 1909. I enjoyed my two days visiting your town and meeting many wonderful and helpful persons. My great grandfather worked for Richwood Cherry River Boom and Lumber Company until his death. According to his death record he lived at Camp 34. I hope to return to Richwood in the spring, after the snow season has subsided, to try and locate that site. If anyone of you who are reading this message know where Camp 34 may be located please send me an e-mail message. Thank you all! Hvala lepa! I am a descendant of two Slovenian families Sutej and Boskovic, I know very little of the language but try to use the little that I do know. Betty Ann Murphey

I have never been to Richwood, but I was born and raised in Belle, W. Va. and have traveled all around West Virginia. So I can imagine what Richwood is like the whole state is beautiful.

I'm an old Richwooder, have many fond memories... moved from there in 59'.. broke my heart... I've been back a few times, sad to say the old home town ain't what it used to be.. but it will always remain special in the old ticker.. would like to hear from anyone who may remember the skinny little kid that was always about 2 steps behind "Happy" Schaffer. She worked for Doc. Milroy.... Great site!!

Hello Hometowners! I posted once before but noticed it had been excluded. At any rate I would love to hear from anyone who graduated with me in 1985, anyone who remembers my parents Buck and Dean Hefner, and especially anyone who could tell me about the Hefner family. There's hardly any family left who remembers my Grandad Spurgeon ( I think ) "Sam' Hefner and I hardly know any of the elder Hefner's. Thanks for a wonderful way to come home again through this excellent site!

I love this website.... "kudos" to those who have made it available. I also lived in Richwood during the 50's but didn't get to graduate with the class of '59.... we moved back to Charleston before my junior year.... I was heartbroken that I had to leave the best years of my life and some wonderful kids.... we had so much fun... we made our fun without drugs or booze... we danced our hearts out at the Rainbow Grill, we attended the football and basketball games, we went sleighriding day and night....I remember the flood of '54. I will never forget living there...I go back and go down memory lane.. I've been able to be in touch with a couple of former classmates from the other Richwood website and I cherish that so much, however, I would like to know if anyone out there would know Larry Curry (who lived in Fenwick) Ronnie Chambers, Sheila Greer. When we moved to Richwood we lived overtop the funeral home on Main Street, then we moved to Walnut Street (lived beside of Joel Lee Hicks) then moved on top of Oakford Avenue to the left. (I can't remember the name of the street off of Oakford) I didn't make the band (but I tried), didn't make it as a cheerleader, miss by one vote of being class president (forgot what year) but I did play basketball and was voted best all around player for two years and champion foul shooter for one year... I have a copy of the picture that was in the News Leader showing us getting our medals (which I still have)... Verdie Ransbarger was standing beside me. What great memories! Would love to hear from anyone from the class of '59. Love to everyone in Richwood.... by the way... when we lived there the population was around 5,000 (at least that's what we were told... my stepfather was the manager of the old McClung Hospital at that time)

I stumbled to to this site and what a suprise. I was born in Richwood at the old McClung Hospital. Even tho I moved away many years ago I still have relatives living in the mountains and a lot of fond memories of my younger days spent on Fenwick Mountain. I have been involved in genealogy for over 30 years. Would love to hear from relatives. Brenda

Really enjoy your site. The pictures of the four seasons of Richwood were outstanding. I woul like to thank the lady shopkeeper on upper main street for allowing me to look at the 1949 yearbook once owned by Edith Buck during the Homecoming. I still miss the hills.

I grew up in Richwood and it's a safe place to be. I only wish there were more things to do, but at least it's pretty safe and peaceful here. Come say hi to me sometime at Foodland (used to be Donaldson's) I'm the cashier girl...

Hello all you Richwood fans. I was born and raised in Richwood until age 11 when Dad moved us to Ft. Lauderdale, FL. been a long journey having lived all over the world and the U.S. since. But I am so pleased and proud to see this website. I so appreciate it and the pride I feel for my hometown is phenomenal. I hope anyone who is interested in talking old times e-mails me. I was born in 1951 at the McClung Hospital and attended Tannery for 5 years. Thanks for the memories. Jeri Bentley

Hi Richwooders, past, present and future. I so enjoy reading all the comments about Richwood and I totally agree it was in the 1950's the place to be. I graduated in 1957. Although I haven't been back in years, I still have a very special place in my heart for that beautiful town. Sometimes we leave for what we think is better, but it is not always necessarily so. My parents, Glen and Helen cornell lived in on Main Street until he retired from the mines in the 70's. I'll bet it is beginning to get beautiful there with fall colors, it is beautiful here in Northern Virginia also. To the ones to keep the page going, it is super, thanks.
