Both of my grandfathers worked in the mines of Southern WV. I was born and raised in WV, although we live in the islands now. I sure understand the draw. Jeff great interview with an interesting person to say the least. Jay Another grand child of miners here. Both of my grandfathers worked in the mines of Southern WV.

Definitely going to read Red Helmet now! Thanks guys for a great interview, something quite different. I mean the subject, not the interview. You know.
