Time Travel: Early 1980s Bridgeport Youth Soccer and 1950s Strawberry Festival Queen Candidates

By Dick Duez on July 06, 2025 from History Blog

See anyone you remember from this youth soccer photo from the very early 1980s - likely 1981 or 1982? The team picture is courtesy of 1989 Bridgeport High School graduate David Wilbourn. Feel free to identify those you recognize in the comments section below.
While the Strawberry Festival is still popular today, here's a shot of contenders of the queens from the 1950s. Does anyone see a familiar face? If so, add a comment below.
 
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.
