You know, I'm orig. from Tenn. but I too love WV. It is the most beautiful/wild state in the Mid-Atlantic region. I do a lot of volunteer work for the tourism industry in our county. You and I have something in common. We both chose a second career later in life (in my case, real late in life). I had a hard time getting through a liberal seminary after living so many years in the "real" world. I managed to be a good parrot and made it with good grades.
It's called strategy-congratulations to you. When I next get to West Virginia, I'll let you know and maybe we can get together!!
