Thats a wonderful story and excellent pic. It is amazing how places, pics and seeing something unusual can remind us of incidents from the past which we can relate to. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for a great story! I live in West Virginia, and come to appreciate that contrary to the old addage, all small towns are NOT alike. There are lots of stories out there. Soooooooo ... Now that your home is done, what are you going to do to commemorate? Maybe the birth of another great story?
