So who do you recognize at this dinner taking place in the city decades ago? The date of the photo and the reason for the dinner are not the only unknowns. Although it is believed Louis Oliverio, Ben Penti and Kelly Blackwell are all in the photo, it's not 100 percent certain. As for the others, if you know who they are, please feel free to comment in the comment section below.

This isn't a photo from the mid-1980s flood that leveled much of Harrison County and West Virginia. However, it is at the intersection of Milford Street and Pike Street in Clarksburg and shows some old businesses that are no longer in operation, including "Rambler Village" and a Rambler Service Station. The photo from the West End of Clarksburg is from 1967.
