The authentic Barrel
We would like to note that the REAL BARREL is in
the hands of Dr. Mark Manchin and the McDowell County Board of
Education. A Certificate of Appreciation for retrieving the
barrel from archives was presented to Dr. Manchin by Gwen Martin
Lucion, on behalf of the Class of 1955. We are so pleased that
Gwen was able to secure permission for us to display the REAL BARREL at
our reunion.
The
permanent location of the REAL BARREL will be at Mount View High
School and is to be placed there when an appropriate and
secure trophy case can be constructed. Presently, we have no
timeframe as to when the actual placement of the Barrel at Mount View
will take place.
