Time Travel: Bridgeport Math Teacher from Years Ago and Downtown 1967 Morgantown Christmas Shopping

By Dick Duez on February 08, 2026 from History Blog

This photo is from many decades ago, from 1962, and possibly came from a yearbook. The photo shows Mrs. Ruth Feoppel. She was listed as a mathematics teacher and a sponsor of eight grade. There were various colleges listed under the photo, which likely were places she studied. They included Denison University, Ohio State, Duke, and West Liberty. If you have any information, or memories, please feel free to add to it.
This photo is from 1967 and showsn people doing some Christmas shopping in the downtown area of Morgantown. If anyone has any memories, feel free to share them.
 
Editor's Note: This ongoing photo feature of pictures from Bridgeport and throughout the Mountain State is part of local historian Richard "Dick" Duez's collection. Duez, the unofficial historian of Bridgeport, would appreciate any scanned photos emailed to him for use here or to include in his ongoing efforts to preserve local history. You can email photos, or let him know how to acquire copies of photos you may have in your possession, to Duez at dick.do@citynet.net.
