An "Oral History Workshop" has been scheduled for the Calhoun Library
on
May 10th beginning at 6:30 p.m., according to Bob Bonar, President of
the
Calhoun Historical Society.
The West Virginia Department of Archives will conduct the session,
which
will help individuals to take recorders to older citizens or
interesting Calhoun
people and make a recording of their comments. Bonar made the
announcement at last evenings meeting. "We are going to invite
interested
parties from our adjoining counties to attend," he said.
Carl Morris, well-known Calhoun businessman and publisher of The
Calhoun
Chronicle, was recognized as Calhoun's History Hero, an honor
bestowed
upon him by the society and presented to him at West Virginia History
Day in
Charleston.

the old State Farm/Quality Shop building adjacent the hotel will be
developed
as a multi-media center to display the history of the county. Much of
the
property has been donated by Dr. Charles Albert Stump of Daytona,
