SOME NEWS FROM YESTER YEAR,, REMEMBER THE OLD DAYS
ONCE UPON A TIME {HOLDEN} WHICH INCLUDED #21, #7/8, #5/6 FROGTOWN AND BEEBEE WAS THE CROWN JEWEL COMMUNITY OF ISLAND CREEK COAL COMPANY. I FOR ONE MISS THESE DAYS BUT I AM PROUD TO HAVE BEEN A PART OF IT. I WAS BORN IN LEE AVENUE AND HAD MANY MANY BOYHOOD FRIENDS THERE. FOR ME THE OLD HOLDEN WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
I WAS BORN HERE IN THIS HOUSE NEXT TO THE CREEK, THE RIGHT SIDE BELONGED TO THE VANETTERS.
THIS SECTION IS DEDICATED TO MY MEMORIES OF MY GRANDMA AND GRANDPA HALL. WITH WHOM I SPENT MOST OF ALL MY GROWING UP YEARS WITH BACK IN LEE AVENUE # 21 MAIN HOLDEN. IT IS FROM MY GRANDMA HALL WHO FIRST TOLD ME STORIES FROM THE BIBLE AND ABOUT JESUS. SHE HAD AN OLD FAMILY BIBLE THAT HAD PICTURES IN IT AND WHEN I ASKED HER ABOUT THE PHOTOS SHE WOULD TELL ME THE STORY THAT WENT WITH IT. THE VALUES SHE GAVE ME ARE MUCH TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION, BUT I WILL ALWAYS KNOW THAT WITHOUT HER TEACHING ME SO MUCH AS A CHILD AND INSTALLING HER VALUES INTO MY LIFE HAS MADE ME A MUCH BETTER PERSON TODAY. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS THEM BOTH.
JUST A FEW UPDATED PHOTOS OF ME MY WIFE OUR KIDS & GRANDKIDS ECT.
BETWEEN OHIO AND FLORIDA I DID 28 YEARS PROTECTING AND SERVING OTHERS. SOMETIMES I MISS IT VERY MUCH. SOMETIMES I WISH I COULD START OVER AND DO IT MUCH BETTER THAN I DID THE FIRST TIME.
JUST FOR FUN AND R&R I LIKE TO FISH,HUNT,SWIM,DIVE,TREASURE HUNT,GOT TO THE BEACH AND JUST WALK,,AND DID I SAY "FISH"???
Even though this next slide is not about Logan County ( And I Praise The Lord For That ) it is still about our neighbors and friends and maybe loved ones who lived and worked in Point Pleasant W.Va. Just a few hours away. I m sure there are many of us who had crossed that bridge before that terrible day. This slide is dedicated to them from all of us.
THESE NEXT TWO SLIDES ARE PHOTOS FROM THE 1937 FLOOD AND THE DEVISTATION IT CAUSED HUNTINGTON W.Va. ( CABELL COUNTY ) SOME OF THE OLD TIMERS MAY REMEMBER SEEING THIS IN PERSON AND REMEMBERING THE DESTRUCTION IT CAUSED. WE ARE LIVING PROOF THAT WEST VIRGINIANS CAN STAND UP AND CAN TAKE IT ON THE CHIN, BE KNOCKED DOWN AND WE STILL GET UP. NO MATTER WHAT.
