2 West Virginia Division of Culture and History Contests Open To High School Writers, Photographers CHARLESTON - The West Virginia Division of Culture and History, in cooperation with the West Virginia Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission, invites high school students across the state to share their creativity in two special educational programs that offer cash prizes. Students who submit essays on a topic related to the Civil War and West Virginia statehood have the chance to win a $1,000 cash prize, while the
teacher of the winning author will receive a $500 cash award. Student photographers who capture historic sites related to the sesquicentennial as part of the Division’s Sesquicentennial Snapshot program also could win $1,000.

West Virginia’s fall wild turkey season opened Oct. 13 SOUTH CHARLESTON – The fall wild turkey hunting season in West Virginia opened October 13 in selected counties. The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR) predicts the wild turkey harvest this fall will be similar to the 2011 fall hunting season, when hunters took 1,186 turkeys in 33 counties. This prediction is based on current mast conditions and wild turkey brood reports. “This year’s mast crop is spotty with some areas having abundant production and some areas with scarce mast conditions,” said Curtis I. Taylor, chief of the DNR Wildlife Resources Section. “The mast conditions will have wild turkey flocks spread out across the landscape, but hunters willing to scout or walk should have no problem locating flocks in areas of abundant mast.” A total of 36 counties in West
Virginia will be open to wild turkey hunting this fall. Counties open to fall turkey hunting include the following: · Fourteen (14) traditional fall hunting counties will be open to a four-week spilt season (October 13 – October 20 and October 29 – November 17, 2012). · Seven (7) counties will be open to a two-week split season (October 13 – October 20 and October 29 – November 3, 2012). · Fifteen (15) counties will have a one-week season (October 13 – October 20, 2012). More information on the fall wild turkey season and other hunting regulations can be found in the 2012–2013 West Virginia Hunting and Trapping Regulations Summary. Copies of this brochure are available at DNR offices, license agents, and on the agency’s website: www.wvdnr.gov.
Museum’s WV 150 exhibit set to open in early 2013. Entries must be received by Nov. 1, 2012. As the only state born of the Civil War, West Virginia will celebrate its 150th birthday on June 20, 2013.

Today I am writing about one of my favorite figures of speech, symbolism. A symbol in a poem is an object, person, situation or action that means more than what it is. For example in one of my poems I used the phrase “white coated worms”. Now, I did not mean literally worms in white coats, I was referring rather negatively in that particular circumstance to doctors. In another poem I used “never kissed a pink flamingo” here I was symbolizing the person’s lack of adventure. One thing to remember when using symbolism in a poem is not to make the reference too obscure. I’ve been known to do just that and the only thing it accomplishes is having your reader wondering what in the blue blazes you are talking about. It doesn’t matter how brilliant you think your symbolism is if it confuses your reader. However if you believe your poem will suffer without the use of that symbol you can always use a footnote. Until next time keep reading and writing. Send your poetry to either the above address or to cabellputnampoetry@hotmail.com. *** We Sit Alone We sit alone in rolling chairs and mask our grief with vacant stares;
if one should say hello, we smile. We burn to charm them with our style; with charred and bleeding hearts we dare. But let the world become aware; our carriage flames white, scalding fare. In this last stop we wait awhile, and sit alone. We fawn, but oh the hot despair has caught us in its evil snare; we sing, but oh, the trap is vile, beneath our feet, how slow the mile. Oh, may the world send up a prayer. We sit alone! Faye Adams, DeSoto, MO
The storms’re gatherin’ Better git the child’rn in, From a world of sin! Some folks’re sure to say, “Why hits jist a bad dream! Don’t pay no mind To an old man’s scheme! He jist ‘maginin’ agin.

Letter to the Editor: This is an open response to whoever sent that unsigned, typed note and addressed it to me as Chairman of Concerned Citizens Committee for a Culloden I64 Interchange. First of all, I was appointed to serve as chairman by this committee back in 1998. It can be substantiated by recent data and research that 80% of all West Virginia business and industry entities are located within two miles away from a four or more lane highway. The property for this interchange was purchased in 1957 by the Department of Highways at Culloden. There have been surveys completed, land partly cleared and utility lines and pipes relocated in order to build this interchange the past ten years. Yet, there is no interchange at Culloden. Culloden is the only town/city that does NOT have its own exits between
Kenova and the I-645/I-77 split above Beckley. Why? Because certain local “Political-Power Bosses” are in control with the city and state governments located in Charleston, the Capitol city. This has been the case ever since 1967, when the midway Jet Port, (to be located near Hurricane) was shot down. Now, in the 21st Century, this state operates with 20th Century airports. West Virginia s the only state that has less population than it did back in the 1950’s. This state has the second oldest citizens in this nation; and percentage wise, it ranks first. In other words, many folks are living on fixed incomes and/or with government assistance As far as whom I may support for governor, this is my privilege and business. The write-in-
candidate, Barbara Lynn Spurlock supports more exits off of Multilane highways and more regulation of storage units that locate outside of unincorporated cities and towns. None of the other two candidates for governor have said anything about this issue. WestVirginia probably leads the nation, percentage wise, when it involves the number of storage units within its borders. Perhaps one of the reasons is because so many people are leaving for other states to find gainful employment; they have to store their household belongings. Another negative reason is for the storage of stolen goods such s as copper, guns, illegal drugs and even meth labs. This is almost an everyday occurrence and is supported and proven out by the news media. Gary P. Adkins Culloden,WV 25510

VH1 Save The Music Program Continues to Expand in WV 16 More Middle Schools Receive Band Instruments Through Statewide Project CHARLESTON, WV - Entering its third year, the innovative statewide VH1 Save The Music Foundation Program is on track to introduce music instruments to 16 more middle schools this fall, bringing to 35 the number of middle and K-8 schools in the state that are building stronger music and band programs. Generous sponsors throughout the state have contributed $450,000 to match the national VH1 Save The Music partnership program to secure $30,000 worth of instruments for each of these schools. “Our goal is to bring musical instruments to every elementary and middle school in the state that has a qualified music teacher,” said Commissioner Randal Reid-Smith of the West Virginia Division of Culture and History, whose agency is coordinating the program with VH1 Save The Music Foundation. “We are seeing success at schools where bands are growing as a result of the additional instruments, and high school bands are excited about the increase in students who are moving up and joining the band. That renewed appreciation for music education is exactly what we hoped to inspire.” This fall, instruments arrived at Barboursville Middle School, Belington Middle School, Bluefield Middle School, Clay Middle School, Geary K to 8 School, Gilmer County High School, Independence Middle School, Monongah Middle School, Mount View Middle School, Rainelle Middle School, Ravenswood Middle School, Shepherdstown Middle School, Sherman Junior-Senior High School, Suncrest Middle School, Washington Irving Middle School and Wheeling Middle School. On track to receive instruments next year are George Washington Middle School and Milton Middle School. The West Virginia program is the first of its kind for VH1 Save The Music Foundation, according to Paul Cothran, executive director and vice president for the VH1 Save The Music Foundation. “The VH1 Save The Music Foundation generally works in partnership with local districts and community leaders to develop a strategic plan to restore instrumental music education for all students within that district. West Virginia is the largest and first
state-wide effort we have undertaken to ensure, over time, greater access to music education in each of the state's 55 counties.” Rob Davidson, director of programs and policy for VH1 Save The Music Foundation, helps coordinate the West Virginia effort. He said the foundation is delighted to have the commitment of the state leaders and the generous support of local funders that make this initiative possible and undoubtedly will serve as model for other parts of the nation. Commissioner Reid-Smith said the matching partnership program allows interested organizations and individuals to donate $15,000 for the VH1 Save The Music Foundation match. The schools, in turn, complete a comprehensive review of their music programs to demonstrate their eligibility. In the 2010-2011 school year, Bridge Street Middle School, Doddridge County Middle School, Follansbee Middle School, Marlinton Middle School, New Martinsville Middle School, Pendleton Middle School, Pleasants County Middle School, Shady Spring Middle School, Sherrard Middle School, Van Devender Middle School and Wellsburg Middle School benefitted from the program. In the 2009-2010 school year, the schools that received instruments were Capon Bridge Middle School, Davis Thomas Elementary Middle School, Duval PK-8, Guyan Valley Middle School, Harmon School, Hamlin PK-8, Gilbert Elementary School and Kermit K-8. Any traditional West Virginia public elementary or middle school that has a certified music teacher and wants to build its instrumental music program may qualify for a VH1 Save The Music Foundation grant. “We hope to see programs in every county of the state within the next few years,” Reid-Smith said. “Having this
opportunity is a wonderful way to strengthen our state’s arts focus as we introduce our youth to the pleasures of music in all of its many forms.” For more information, contact Jeff Pierson, Arts director for the West Virginia Division of Culture and History, at (304) 558-0240 or jeff.a.pierson@wv.gov.

The VH1 Save The Music Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring instrumental music education programs in America’s public schools, and raising awareness about the importance of music as part of each child’s complete education. To date, VH1 Save The Music has provided more than $45 million in new musical instruments to 1,700 public schools in more than 100 cities around the country, impacting the lives of over 1.4 million children. The Foundation’s renewed commitment to donate one hundred million dollars’ worth of new musical instruments to ensure that even a greater number of students receive a comprehensive music education in the coming decade.

A Book of Remembrance I was thinking about the verse in the Bible in Malachi 3:16 - Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: And the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His name. We should think upon the Lord not because we have to, but because we want to and it is a part of our daily life. Some people are very outgoing about their faith, others are quiet. I am one who is not quiet when it comes to the things of the Lord. I am shy in some areas, but I can talk about the Lord for a long time. He has done so much for me. Others feel that Salvation is personal, and it is. We should be ready and willing to share Jesus with others. We don’t serve the Lord because we have to, but we should have that desire in our heart and minds. May we all do better at witnessing for our Savior.

Fishing Report Beech Fork: The reservoir level is at summer pool. For more information, call (304) 525-4831. Bass fishing should be picking up as water temperatures start to cool. Try fishing early in the morning or near dusk to beat the heat, channel catfish will be actively feeding during this time as well. Hybrid striped bass and white bass can be caught using white lures. East Lynn: The reservoir level is at summer pool. For more information call the Corps of Engineers recorded message at (304) 849-9861. Bass fishing will begin to pick up as the water temperatures begin to drop. Try fishing near logs, stumps and fish attracting brush piles. Musky will be found near bush piles and fallen trees. Channel catfish and flatheads will be good throughout the day. Try crappie fishing around standing timber or trees that have fallen into the water. Stephens Lake: Lake is very clear. To improve the odds of catching fish, use light line, cast far, and reduce noise, fish quietly and carefully. Bass are also being caught using wacky rigged worms in various colors at various depths. Catfish have been recently caught. Kanawha: Tailwater fishing should be excellent. Jigs with
minnows could provide some excellent catches of sauger, white bass, hybrid striped bass and freshwater drum. If artificial baits are your preference, white and chartreuse are good colors to try. Guyandotte, Coal, Poca, Elk, and Mud rivers: Flows are low but local conditions will vary. Small Impoundments: Bluegill and bass will be feeding and can be caught with night crawlers or artificial baits. Fishing for channel catfish in the evening should be excellent. Ohio River: Blue, flathead and channel catfish activity is picking up. Recently, a new state record blue catfish was taken below R.C. Byrd tailwaters. Early fall is an excellent time to fish Ohio River tailwaters. Anglers fishing below the Belleville dam are catching white bass, hybrid striped bass, and a few other species. Pencil poppers and lead headed jigs with twister tails (white or chartreuses), are the lure of choice. Best spots include eddies and back-current sections and anywhere that river flows are unusual. Best times for sauger and walleye fishing are during nondaylight hours. Fishing along the Willow Island tailwaters is restricted due to hydro-power development. Anglers now have access only to a point approxi-
mately 150 yards below the dam and flows have changed significantly. Fishing has been good for largemouth bass and bluegill in area lakes. Spinner baits and rubber worms are producing bass in areas of good cover, while bluegills are being taken on small jigs fished deep, at depths of 1012 feet. Good choices for area lakes include Mountwood in Wood County, Conaway Run in Tyler, Charles Fork in Roane, North Bend in Ritchie County, and Elk Fork, Woodrum, and O’Brien in Jackson County. Local musky streams should be fishable this weekend. Fall musky anglers use large crank baits or jurk baits and best spots are usually around fallen trees or riffle areas. Fishing has been quite good this year for musky along Middle Island Creek, the Little Kanawha River and on the Hughes River and its Forks. Musky fishing at North Bend Lake also has been productive this Check the USGS website (http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/ rt) for river/stream conditions and check local landings visually before wasting a trip.

West Virginia’s Deer, Bear and Wild Boar Archery Seasons Open
Tuesday,October 16,2012 – Page 7
WeeklyDevotional By Mary Jane
SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV – West Virginia’s 2012 archery seasons for deer and bear opened on September 29, and the wild boar archery season opens on October 13. While the wild boar and traditional deer archery seasons remain about the same as last year, the bear archery season began earlier and closes later. In addition to an earlier opening date, the bear archery season is now a split season that runs from September 29 through November 17 and December 3 through December 31. “The state’s expanding bear population can sustain additional archery hunting opportunities,” said Curtis I. Taylor, Chief of the Wildlife Resources Section of the Division of Natural Resources. “As a result, we have established an earlier opening date and added a new December segment to the season framework.” Hunters are reminded they need appropriate stamps if they wish to harvest additional deer during the archery season. One or two additional archery deer may be taken with Class RB (Res-
ident) or Class RRB (Nonresident) stamps (one deer per stamp), depending on the county being hunted. (Check the 2012 – 2013 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Summary for details.) Hunters should also note that in 10 counties or portions thereof they must take an antlerless archery deer prior to harvesting a second antlered deer during the archery deer season. The additional archery stamps (Class RB and Class RRB) had to be purchased prior to the September 29 season opening date. Special regulations exist for the four archery-only deer hunting counties: Logan, McDowell, Mingo and Wyoming. In these counties, only two archery deer may be taken, one of which must be antlerless. In all counties, legal resident landowners hunting on their own property and holders of Class DT (Life-threatening Conditions) licenses may use Class RB/RRB stamp privileges without stamp purchase. In addition to a base license,
bear hunters must purchase a Bear Damage Stamp (Class DS) to hunt bear in West Virginia. Two bear may be taken during the archery or the gun season (or one each in the archery and gun seasons) provided at least one bear is taken in Boone, Fayette, Kanawha, Logan, McDowell, Mingo, Raleigh or Wyoming counties. Other than the Class DS stamp, no additional stamps are needed to harvest the second bear. Wild boar hunting is for West Virginia residents only. One wild boar may be harvested per year (either during the archery or gun season). Only Boone, Logan, Raleigh and Wyoming counties are open to boar archery and firearm seasons. For complete information, hunters should consult the 2012 - 2013 West Virginia Hunting and Trapping Regulations Summary available at any WVDNR office, license agents, or by visiting the WVDNR website at www.wvdnr.gov.
“GOSPEL SINGERS” Thought for the week: As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1PETER 4:10 (KJV) Often we may say “I just don’t have any talent” here we see in God’s word every man hath received the gift, some find it early in life, others may never know what talent they have, but accordingly we all have one. Singing seems to be the talent of many people, and as I recently attended a gospel concert of a husband and wife team, who have been singing together with their three sons for over fifty years, the gift of music is surely their talent. The mother of this group opens her heart on stage and lets you know she is a true believer of God. She tells how she and husband began their young life together with two guitars and continued on with their family growing to three sons, who all three are blessed with gift of music and voice. She tells how God has blessed them with a home, good health, expenditures for bus travels to various parts of the east coast and Canada performing their gospel music concerts, and none of her sons has ever worked a public job in their life. When you hear this group sing, you know God does provide when you give your all to whatever gift He has given you in life. I must also add, the building in which they locally performed the concert, was most appropriate, the people of this community should be commended to have built such a fine building for various functions, it is one which I hope stands and houses many of the finer arts and family enjoyments in the future for surrounding communities. Prayer: Thank you God for those people who use their GIFTS, to bestow BLESSINGS upon others. Amen.
Small Game Hunting and Trapping Opportunities for 2012–2013 Season SOUTH CHARLESTON – Small game hunting in West Virginia has already begun with the opening of squirrel season on September 8, 2012. “Squirrel season is very popular with many West Virginia sportsmen. It is a time when hunters can participate in one of their favorite sports and also enjoy the fall beauty of the Mountain State,” said Curtis I. Taylor, Chief of the Wildlife Resources Section of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. The ruffed grouse season opened on October 13, 2012, and closes on February 28, 2013. Grouse hunters should look for areas that provide ample cover and soft mast species such as grape, hawthorn, and greenbrier. However, mast survey results indicate that statewide populations of these species are below average in 2012. The daily bag limit for grouse is four. Hunting season for raccoons opened October 13, 2012, at 6 p.m. and continues through February 28, 2013. Raccoon populations should be slightly higher than previous years. Food sources are plentiful this year but
are spotty. Hunters, and their hounds, should have a very successful season after locating good food sources. Raccoon hunters are reminded that the daily bag limit is four. Opening day of cottontail rabbit season is November 3, 2012. With the early spring but dry August, rabbit populations are expected to be similar to last year.
Old fields and brushy pastures are the best habitat types in which to rabbit hunt. Snowshoe hare, bobwhite quail, ringnecked pheasant, bobcat, red fox, and gray fox hunting seasons also open November 3, 2012. Hunters should be aware of daily bag and season possession limits for each species. Night hunting with lights for foxes will open
January 1, 2013 and continue until February 28, 2013. November 3, 2012, marks the opening of trapping season for fur bearing animals in West Virginia. Populations of beaver, bobcat, fox, mink, otter and raccoon are good, and trappers should be very successful. Trappers are reminded to check season closing dates as they may
vary for the different species. For more complete information on season dates and bag limits, consult the 2012–2013 West Virginia Hunting and Trapping Regulations available at all hunting and fishing license agents, DNR district offices and the DNR website www.wvdnr.gov.

DNR releases Results of Annual Mast Survey
David Payne Sr.
Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
This year, numerous wildlife professionals - some retired, some not - spent who knows how many hours scouring 309 locations throughout West Virginia looking for mast, specifically 18 species of various wildlife foods, such as nuts, berries apples and grapes. Obviously, they can't count each and every single nut in the woods, so – and even this is a simplified way of describing what the surveyors do - they write down
whether they see a lot of which nuts or not and where they were when they did or did not see, a lot of nuts or not. The DNR takes all this information about who saw or did not see a lot of which nuts where and plugs that into this formula “Mast Survey Index = 10{[abundant observations/total observations] + [common observations X 0.5/total observations]}.” Nothing could be simpler, right? Note: I am being sarcastic – you could probably launch a space shuttle with powerful math like that. The important thing is, that enigmatic math gives biologists a standard way of quantifying the unquantifiable and lets them compare mast production from one year to the next. There's so much information available from various DNR number crunchings that it will take me a couple of columns to get just the most relevant information out there. If I really feel froggy, I'll do some number crunching of my own. Compared to last year's survey, the mast this year increased somewhat. All hard mast (nuts) species except walnut and beech
increased from last year’s estimate. Chestnut oak and white oak increased 360 and 206 percent, respectively. Apple index decreased considerably (28 percent). Black cherry was a very weak producer last year, so it's not as big a deal as you would think that cherry’s index increased by 378 percent. Walnut abundance decreased 37 percent from 2011 levels. Based on the 2011 index, hickory increased by 18 percent. Of the soft mast (berries and the like), Greenbrier was unchanged and sassafras increased by 69 percent. Compared to the 42-year average (West Virginia leads the nation, I think, in the historical wildlife data it has collected), mast was 5 percent above average. The worst performer was beech, down 29 percent. Hickory and the oaks were above average. Black and red oaks were 29 percent above the average. While most of the mast germinated this year, black and red oak acorns take two years to develop. It's one of God's little ways of making sure there's at least a little bit of food for wildlife during even the worst mast failures.
The mast index usually comes out about this time of year and I think it was done that way historically to coincide with the opening of squirrel season, which was traditionally about now. This year, it opened a month earlier, so many hunters already have an idea of what conditions are like, but the information is still incredibly valuable and definitely retains its full potency for deer season. What a lot of people don't understand is that strong mast production usually means poor hunting this year and very good hunting next year. When mast is scarce, animals have to cover some distance to find the food they need, so the chances increase you'll see something to shoot. When mast production is strong, squirrels are spread out everywhere and deer can fill their bellies without walking very far. The plus side of strong mast is that more animals survive the winter and are available for next season. Obviously, during a mast failure a lot of animals starve to death in the winter. This year, I think we have the best of both worlds. Hickory and
Outdoors Roundup Special antlerless season for handicapped, young and old. There will be a special one-day antlerless deer season for youth hunters as well as those who hold a handicapped or seniors hunting license on October 20. The second segment of the season will be Dec. 26 and Dec. 27. Youth between ages 8 and 17 may participate and those 14 and younger must be accompanied by a licensed adult. Hunters ages 15-17 are required to have a base hunting license. Senior citizens 65 years and older who have purchased their lifetime senior hunting/trapping/fishing license (Class XS) also may participate in this special antlerless deer season. Hunters must wear at least 400 square inches of blaze orange. The daily bag limit during is one antlerless deer per day and a total of three antlerless deer for
the season. These harvested deer do not count toward the hunter’s annual deer season bag limit. All harvested deer must be checked at an official game checking station within 24 hours of the close of each segment and before hunting any additional deer during the second segment. Earlier opening for West Virginia antlerless deer season Deer hunters will be enjoying an earlier opening date for antlerless deer hunting this fall. This year, there will be an early segment of the season open Oct. 25 through Oct. 27. “There are several advantages to hunters and to deer management if hunters participate in this season,” Curtis Taylor, DNR wildlife resources chief, said. “Many hunters may find the weather better for stand hunting since temperatures should be warmer than during late Novem-
ber and December seasons. Also, hunters who hunt in one of the 10 counties where hunters are required to harvest an antlerless deer prior to taking a second antlered buck can take advantage of harvesting an antlerless deer. Then they won’t have to worry about filling this requirement later in the season if they hunt for a second antlered buck in November. From a deer management view, if enough antlerless deer are harvested early in the fall, there should be more food for the remaining deer and hunters may observe more intense rut behavior of antlered bucks in November.” Fall-turkey season open West Virginia's fall turkey season opened Oct. 13 in selected counties around the state. The DNR predicts the wild turkey harvest this fall will be similar to the 2011 fall hunting season, when
hunters took 1,186 turkeys in 33 counties. This prediction is based on current mast conditions and wild turkey brood reports. “This year’s mast crop is spotty with some areas having abundant production and some areas with scarce mast conditions,” Taylor said. “The mast conditions will have wild turkey flocks spread out across the landscape, but hunters willing to scout or walk should have no problem locating flocks in areas of abundant mast.” A total of 36 counties in West Virginia will be open to wild turkey hunting this fall during separate fall seasons. Putnam and Cabell counties will be open during the Oct. 13 through Oct. 20 season only. Also open for the October season are: Barbour, Calhoun, Harrison, Jackson, Marion, Monongalia, Pleasants, Summers, Taylor, Tyler, Upshur, Wetzel and Wirt counties.
oak production has improved, but mast conditions are still spotty. That's good for squirrel hunters, because the bushytails will be congregating in places where there is plenty of food. The DNR recommends that hunters locate white and chestnut oaks that are producing a lot of acorns – some won't be. I wouldn't overlook hickory, though. I always like hickory early in the season. What I'm not sure about is late in the season, when squirrels tend to move into beech stands. I would keep my eyes open for any beech trees that are producing nuts – that might be a good location come December and January. Biologists expect the deer harvest to be slightly higher this year than last. I certainly hope deer hunting is better this year than last. I can't remember any year I saw less deer, but my son was with me. It was his first year deer hunting. Thus, it was my best ever. More detailed forecasts are coming next week. Maybe some more math. I don't know. Contact David Payne via e-mail at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.

PATRICK "PAT" MACKAY ANDERSON Patrick "Pat" Mackay Anderson, age 88, of Fraziers Bottom, W.Va., formerly of Huntington, passed away peacefully Monday, Oct. 1, 2012, at his home, surrounded by his loving family, after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer's Disease. Patrick was born Aug. 19, 1924, and was the only child of the late James H. Anderson and Elizabeth Mackay Anderson. He graduated from South Charleston High School in 1942 and enlisted in the U.S. Army. He was accepted into the U.S. Air Cadet Program and received his pilot training at Lodwick School of Aeronautics. He proudly served his country as a P47 fighter pilot during World War II with the 9th U.S. Army Air Forces in the European Theater of Operations, flying 81 successful missions and receiving numerous honors, including the Distinguished Flying Cross and eight Air Medals, and achieving the rank of First Lieutenant. After the war ended, he attended college on the GI Bill at Carnegie Institute near Pittsburgh, later transferring to Marshall College, now Marshall University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry. While attending college, he met classmate Mary Lou Anderson. They married on Dec. 31, 1955, and made their home in Huntington, residing there for 55 years. Patrick was employed first as a chemist with Allied Chemical, but spent most of his career with Novamont Chemical-Aristech, later purchased by U.S. Steel, retiring with 25 years of service. He loved to tinker with electronics and was quite gifted at it. He enjoyed traveling and hiking, identifying wildflowers and birdwatching. He was an avid reader and coin collector.
In addition to his parents, Patrick was preceded in death by his nephew, Stanley Lee Frazier. Left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife of 56 years, Mary Lou Frazier Anderson; niece, Catherine M. Frazier Akers and husband Danny; nephew, William "Gary" Frazier and wife Karen; nephew, Joseph Frazier; great-niece and nephews and great-great-nieces and nephews; and many other family members and friends. A memorial service was held Friday at the Fraziers Bottom Church of God. The family requests that donations are made to HospiceCare, 1606 Kanawha Boulevard, W., Charleston, WV 25312. Reger Funeral Home provided cremation services for Patrick by his request. Online condolences may be made to the family at www.regerfh.com.

He has been engaged for years at the local, state and national levels with physician leaders who care deeply about our healthcare delivery system and the patients we serve.
