A picture of Welch (Main Street) that was taken in 1946. The photo is very much the way John Babb remembered the town from the late 50's.   I'm sure that some of you reading this  will remember the picture as he does and can also relate to his memories of  Welch, W.Va. As John  remembers, He'd  catch the bus most every Saturday and go into Welch for a movie at the Pocahontas Theater. They held a sock hop there in the morning (on the stage) . . . the hop would always start and end when they played "The Happy Organ" by Dave Cortez. The show would then start at 1:00. After the movie we would wait for the bus at a record shop around the corner next to the bus station. The record shop would always be playing the latest 45 RPM hits over a loud speaker. Thanks John for sharing your Sat Morning Memory with the Gary Coaldiggers,
