The wedding of Carl and Betty Kilgore was a simple ceremony performed at her parentsâ home in Harveytown by the Rev. Sheridan Sprecker. No flower girl, no limousine or a honeymoon that they couldnât afford â just a drive in Carlâs old Chevy sedan back to their rented apartment to begin a marriage that celebrated 70 years in December.
âBetty told me that she had her eyes on me even before our first date,â Carl said. âHer sister Maxine had married my brother Ernest, and we became acquainted during family gatherings. We dated less than four months when I showed Betty an engagement ring one evening at a Westmoreland restaurant. She gave the ring a closer look, tried it on for size and said in a matter-of-fact voice: âItâs about time.â â
CHARLESTON — The Cabell-Huntington Health Department will set up in the former Sears space in the Huntington Mall to provide more COVID-19 vaccines at a faster pace.
HUNTINGTON â Some Cabell Huntington Hospital retirees and their families are speaking out after receiving a letter stating their supplemental Medicare insurance benefit will be terminated at the end of March.
âMom got her letter saying effective March 31, 2021, her coverage is terminated,â said Tom Hardiman, whose mother is a retired nurse in Wayne County. âNice deal when an 82-year-old retired nurse with a lot of medical conditions gets tossed aside.â
The letter, dated Jan. 28, 2021, states, âCabell Huntington Hospital will no longer offer a Medicare supplement plan to non-bargaining retirees.â
Supplemental coverage is used to help cover unpaid Medicare expenses. Hardiman says he has been trying to help his mother navigate insurance options after she received what he called âthe hospitalâs surprise letter.â
