The Marshall University men's basketball team. According to Paul Fulks, "In this group of photos there is one basketball picture which shows Mervin Gutshall driving for a basketball. This was during the 1946-47 basketball season in which the Marshall team eventually won the NAIB tournament in Kansas City, Mo. Cam Henderson was coach. There is another identifiable player in the right background who is wearing glasses. That is Bill Hall, the only player on that team who wore glasses."

Richard McCoy of Huntington writes, "In 1953, my sixth grade class visited this aeration facility of the Huntington Water Corporation. It was located on Route 2, next to the water intake, just upstream of Guyandotte. It is now the location of West Virginia American Water offices. Tap water from the river, often, had a bad taste, if not aerated. So, it was sprayed in the air, before sedimentation and chlorination. In the winter when it froze, the tap water would taste bad. Now, the taste is removed with carbon filters."
