Good Morning Alan, another exhibit of your great work which can fit wonderfully on any layout in America.
My recent work began March 16 using Woodlands Scenic dpm Landmark Modular systems kit which I discovered by accident after being challenged just over a year ago by my friend and classmate Lon Patton.
Lon challenged “Where’s our school John, you have the town you must have our school!”
So this project I dedicate to my friend Lon after his loss of a long and difficult fight with diabetes in January.
Through My project I have attempted to depict the Olive Hill High school constructed in 1929 and thankfully owned now by the Historical Society which continues to stand overlooking the town and where the Lexington Division of C&O tracks ran along the waters of Tygarts Creek.
The model includes the gymnasium with the court which countless hours of fun and fellowship was shared as well as many district championships were won by the Comet basketball teams. My graduation was the last one in the gymnasium happening over 51 years ago now. Our classmates continue to celebrate our graduation in the gymnasium, now each year.
The school construction was a long one but enjoyed. I now continue to work on projects to depict the businesses of Olive Hill once owned and operated by friends, relatives, neighbors, members of our Methodist church.
I believe the next to begin will be the one operated by Willie Grills who made the best burgers and fries in town.😊
