📰 News we're reading

• Follansbee Dentist Retiring After Nearly 40-Year Career (theintelligencer.net) — A longtime Follansbee dentist, Dr. Michael Pipo, is closing his Main Street practice later this month after nearly 40 years serving local families. He’s donating his office building at 970 Main St. to American Legion Post 45, helping the post recover after storm damage forced its headquarters to close. Residents may soon see the familiar dental office transformed into a new Legion home.
   

• Edward Victor Folden (brookereview.com) — Follansbee is mourning the passing of 78-year-old Edward Victor Folden, a Vietnam veteran and longtime West Virginia Army National Guard member who later traveled the country as a truck driver. A Follansbee resident with close family still in town, he donated his body to WVU for medical education, and a private memorial will be held in the spring at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies.
