Pam Stupar:  

Update: This lovely story has come to an end. Getting a divorce. I attended MHS my Soph & Sr year & Stonewall Jackson High School my Jr. year. I loved SJHS! it was so different from MHS. The building was only a couple years old (not like MHS that has to be 550 yrs.old), had great teachers and was full of bright, interesting, fun people who made u feel welcome from the beginning. I made so many great friends there that I will never forget.Got married to Steve Daugherty, had a daughter, went 2 work at WVU, moved 2 Fairmont, started working 4 a surface mining company working with mine leases, started taking classes at FSU & got divorced after 7 years. Moved back 2 Morgantown & ran into a lot of old friends, plus made some new ones. Started working at Consol in the Safety Dept., took classes at night, bought a house, went to WVU football& basketball games, enjoyed the lake, did volunteer work. I never remember when growing up thinking about having children or getting married. But,I thank God for giving me my wonderful daughter, Kelley. While she was growing up she kept me focused.(if you know me well u know that's a difficult thing 2 do) I dated some, but never got "really" serious. Looking back I think because I didn't want anyone helping raise my daughter. (In fact, I got divorced when she was 6 & finally got serious when she was 21 when I met my husband) I'm so proud of her. She is a nurse & worked in the OR in labor & delivery at WVU. She now works for a physician in private practice. Every February she goes for a week of never-ending days with other nurses & doctors to the Dominion Republic where they do surgeries on the people there. It's not in a hospital like we are used to here. Half the time there is no running water & you never know when the electricity is going to go out in the middle of a surgery. They take all their own supplies & there's basically no anesthesia & Ext.StrengthTylenol is considered a pain medication. She says that when they bus them back to where they are staying, one of the doctors gives everyone a bottle of "cold" local beer. It's called El Presidenti & it tastes so good right then (I've tried it-YUCK!)When she went away 2 school in Florida I went thru my 2nd childhood. Bought a bright red car with a T-roof, started going out with new friends & old friends (ex: Sandy Eddy Marshall,Debby Hostetler Bicanich) just about every weekend. Deb, Sandy I went 2 the beach & cruised 2 the Bahamas & basically just enjoyed life. We'd all gotten married way too young. It seemed so weird not 2 have 2b the "responsible parent". We were absolutely crazy & it was a really fun phase of my life. When Kelley came back 2 Morgantown I didn't know how 2 act! I met my husband, Rich, about that time. He was (and still is) a great guy. He was a VP at Mylan Pharmaceuticals & treated me like a queen. In fact, when we got engaged we were in Miami 4 a WVU football game & he told me we were going 2 go over 2 the harbor 2 see some of the cruise ships. When we got 2 the ship, he told me he forgot the camera in the car. When he came back he had our luggage (he had secretly packed what we needed while I was at the pool) & that was my 1st clue we were going on a cruise. We had 2 call r kids from the ship, because he kept it so secret that only he & the travel agent nu about it. The 1st night of the crui...Expand for more
