THIS IS
A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN MEET MY FATHER & MOTHER HAGER AND
OMA THORNSBURY. SEE HOW HARD
IT MUST HAVE BEEN TO RAISE A FAMILY WORKING IN
THE COAL MINE'S OF KENTUCKY
IN THE 1960'S. MY MEMORY'S
TAKE ME BACK TO WHEN I WAS VERY SMALL,
DAY AFTER
DAY MY FATHER WOULD COME HOME AFTER A LONG AND
DARK DAY BENEATH THE EARTH, ALWAYS BLACK
FROM HEAD TO TOE FROM THE COAL DUST. MY GRANDFATHER
CECIL THORNSBURY I WAS TOLD HAD BLACK
LUNG ANYBODY WORKING
IN THE MINE 'S WOULD KNOW
WHAT THAT IS. MY DADDY WORKED
HARD TO SUPPORT HIS FAMILY AND I DONT
RECALL A SINGLE DAY THAT WE EVER WENT HUNGRY, MAYBE NOT
STEAK & FINE WINES, JUST PLAIN OLD PINTO BEAN'S AND CORNBREAD.
BOY WHAT I WOULD GIVE FOR A POT OF BEAN'S COOKED WITH
THE LOVE OF MY MOTHERS HAND.
INSIDE YOU WILL MEET AND SEE MY FAMILY THE WAY I REMEMBERED IT -- MEET MY ANCESTORS-- VIEW TONS OF PIC'S
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO
ADD ANY PIC'S OR INFO PLEASE LET ME KNOW. IF YOU
WOULD LIKE ME TO LOOK THROUGH MY YEARBOOKS FOR A
CERTAIN PERSON LET ME KNOW I WILL SCAN THEM AND E-MAIL
TO YOU NO CHARGE
