Bank of Marlinton
We salute the Bank of Marlinton on its 75th birthday. Steady and dependable growth since 1899, through good times and bad, has been its record, and just as steady and dependable has been its service to the people of Pocahontas County. Its new building sets a tone of progress and we wish for it continued growth and prosperity.
BOOK DONATION
Superintendent P. C. H. S.;
The enclosed book, “The Great White Fleet,” is being sent to your school library in memory of the late Dr. George Douglas McNeill. Dr. McNeill was my teacher in the sixth and seventh grades – with the late Dr. Calvin Price he was my Scout Master and more than that, a lifelong friend.
I hope you will place this book in the school library for everyone to use and you could mention it to The Pocahontas Times so his children still in Pocahontas County could read it also.
Although the book was published in 1965, it is now out of print and very scarce. The U. S. Naval Academy here in Annapolis only has one well-worn copy. Dr. Pease is presently writing a book on her father’s life.
Sincerely,
Glen L. Vaughan
Lt. Ret. U. S. Navy
