Blue Star Marker Dedication #58

Department Of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in  Huntington included state and district club members as well as area veterans, members of Boy Scout Troop 20, the Marshall University Brass Ensemble, Spring Valley High School ROTC Honor Guard and a vocalist from Huntington High School.

Ohio Guyan District Garden Clubs dedicated Blue Star Memorial Marker #58 on

Saturday, May 17. According to district director Ruth Ann Koch, “The sun was shining and a wonderful breeze kept us cool as we gathered in front of the Medical Center.”

 Under Consideration: 

• Pine Grove Garden Club
• Richwood Garden Club

 Miscellaneous: 

• Marker #1, dedicated in 1970 near Weirton, was lost or misplaced during road construction in 1972.  A valiant effort to locate this marker is underway.  If not discovered, a new one will be placed.
• Two markers are to be moved and rededicated.  They are:

1)      Richwood Garden Club

2)      Meadow River Garden Club

• Marjorie Hollandsworth is in the process of refurbishing an old Huntington Blue Star.  Ditto with Mon-Cheat’s I-79 S.  Others need attention.
• The 1995 Fayette County Garden Council’s yearbook (Leah Thomas, President) has a picture of a Blue Star installed at State Police Headquarters that reads, “Spade and Trowel.”  The present one reads “Red Bud Garden Club.”  Where is the “Spade and Trowel” Blue Star?
• The dedication dates of :

       1)   Rhododendron and Bluefield Blue Star at Bland St. in Bluefield

       2)   Huntington Garden Club’s Blue Star at City Hall on 5^th Street and

       3)   South Charleston Garden Club’s Blue Star at MacCorkle Ave.  in South  Charleston are needed to complete the WVGC history of Blue Star Dedications
