Time Travel: Bridgeport Middle Office Assistants from the 1980s and Youth Fun in 1950s Point Pleasant

By Dick Duez on February 16, 2025 from History Blog

Recognize anyone in this photo? These are the office assistants at Bridgeport Junior High from the early 1980s. They are - in no particular order - Jackie Baldini, Monica George, Christina Hook, Dawn Parker, Tracy Gauer, Christina Riley and Lori Oroszi. The secretary was Mrs. Anita Swecker.
This could literally be anywhere USA in the 1950s. As it turns out, this is a photo taken of some young adults from a gas station in Point Pleasant. Anyone familiar with this location?
 
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, 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 dickdo@citynet.net
