GVT celebrates the holiday
season with Dickens' timeless
classic. Ebenezer Scrooge journeys
with the Ghosts of Past, Present and
Future through his life, from
youthful innocence to cold and lonely
death. After seeing where his
miserly ways will lead him, Scrooge
realizes the error of his ways and
embraces the Christmas spirit.
Bringing the holiday spirit to the
stage this year is a cast featuring
everyone from professional actors
with years of experience, to local
adults passionate about theatre, to
GVTots experiencing their first on-
stage performance. One GVTot
making her stage debut is Hadley
Criddle.
The young actor has been having
a great time learning all the songs
and dances. She loves performing
and can't wait to be get in the
spotlight and show her parents
everything she has learned.
Criddle has no trouble
understanding the message of
Dickens' classic. Her love of
Christmas, and the holiday season,
reflects this timeless moral tale.
"My favorite part of Christmas is
being with all of my family and
playing with my cousins," the young
student said.

REMEMBERING HERB
CRIZER:
When I was learning telegraphy
with Everette R. Shanklin at "OX"
Cabin, Moss Run VA I had a deep
respect for the men at OX as well as
those working at the other offices
along the line. The men on third
trick, 11:00 p. m. until 7:00 a. m
were William R. Boyd at "MX"
Cabin; Raymond E. Sampson, father
of James R. Sampson, at Hilldale.
Homer H. Nickell was at'AD" Cabin,
Alderson and Herb D. Crizer at
Ronceverte. Tode B. Green at "WS"
Cabin, White Sulphur Springs and
A. Jack Smith at 'A" Cabin,
Alleghany, VA. and Harry A. Pfadt
at "BS" Cabin. There was very little
work at OX cabin which gave me
plenty of time to ea~]esdrop on the
train dispatchers' phone.
I longed to visit and sit in at
Allegheny, White Sulphur Springs,
Ronceverte and MX cabin because
those offices seemed to be the busiest
except for train dispatcher Mr. Elliot
T. Bruce at Clifton Forge which was,
at that time, completely beyond the
range of my aspiration.
Most of the telegraph operators
on Alleghany Subdivision set their
Morse Code on a common hand set
called a key but not Herb Crizer. Mr.
Crizer used a vibroplex we called a
"bug." His sending was challenging
to a novice. The call letters for his
office were "RV." He made a perfect
R but his V, three dots and one dash,
was more like six dots and one dash.
With experience, we learned them
all and had no trouble reading each
individual except some like
Lawrence Mason in "F" office at
Clifton Forge. He and some others
had a style of their own, losing speed
through error in an effort to be fast.
Back to Herb Crizer at
Ronceverte. When he would report
a train "OS" to train dispatcher
