This photo, believed to be from 1996, was taken by parent Sheila Alvarez and provided to educator Mrs. Ruth Allen after local students took part in a hot air balloon field trip that was held at Compton Park. Allen was the teacher at the time and provided this photo for use. See any youngsters you know? If so, list them in the comment section below.
Editor's Note: This ongoing photo feature of pictures from Bridgeport and throughout the Mountain State is part of local historian Richard "Dick" Duez's collection, the unofficial historian of Bridgeport, would appreciate any scanned photos emailed to him for use here or to include in his ongoing efforts to preserve local history. You can email photos, or let him know how to acquire copies of photos you may have in your possession, to Duez at dickdo@citynet.net. Please note a photo previously here has been removed as it came to our attention the photo was taken by Dave Ferrell and the negative was owned by Dan Kemper.
The photo of "Rt 50" in Parkersburg was taken by Dave Ferrell on Division street looking north toward the 5th street bridge. I have the negative of that photo and scanned it in. It was pirated from Roger Mackeys FB page "Early Parkersburg" I would appreciate a correction. No historian pirates photos. Especially when the photo was tagged with the photographers name.
