Martins Ferry

I'm on this veggie sub kick.

So I decided to go to Martins Ferry and get a veggie sub.

I walk in, I want...

I run into my man Riesbeck, which, in Martins Ferry, odds are you're gonna run into a Riesbeck within the first minute wherever you may go.

Talked to him.

We caught up on some old times.

He told me the big game this last Friday was undefeated Barnesville against undefeated Martins Ferry, and I'll tell you what, it took me back to working at TOV9 and TRF and the Friday night lights, and how much I miss high school football, specifically covering it, getting to go to these towns, getting to know these coaches, watching these players on a Friday night, going back and putting the videos together, and then bringing it to you.

I, I look back at my career, and it was just so much fun.

Strike two call.

Last year he won eight, lost 18.

Small high school football, Barnesville, 25.

Martins Ferry, 21.

That's over there on the east part of the state over there by the river.

Barnesville stays undefeated with a four-point win.

They're playing in about the eighth inning there.

Willie McCovey has hit a big homer today, his 18th, and they were two on when he hit it at Ferry against Hann when that was started, 2-7 game winner.

So the Giants are leading 4-2 over the Cubs in the about seventh or eighth inning.

Tonight, San Diego is at St. Louis.

Here it is.

Curve of beauty, strike two called.

Part One.

Of the facts which I must believe from the witness of others is the fact that I was born on the first of March 1837 at Martin's Ferry, Belmont County, Ohio.

My father's name was William Cooper Howells, and my mother's was Mary Dean.

They were married six years before my birth, and I was the second child in their family of eight.

He married upon the expectation of affluence from the publication of a work on the rise, progress, and downfall of aristocracy, which almost immediately preceded the ruin of the enthusiastic author and of my father with him, if he indeed could have experienced further loss in his entire want of money.

He did not lose heart, and he was presently living contentedly on $300 a year as foreman of a newspaper office in St. Clairville, Ohio.

But his health gave way, and a little later, for the sake of the outdoor employment, he took up the trade of house painter, and he was working at this in Wheeling when my grandfather Dean suggested his buying a lot and building a house in Martin's Ferry, just across the Ohio River.

The lot must have been bought on credit, and he built mainly with his own capable hands a small brick house of one story and two rooms with a lean-to.
