Thank you for the history lesson on my adopted state. I love this place. Unfortunately, I'll go to my grave as "...that feller from New York City" instead of as a Mountaineer.

Round these here parts that's a step up from "durned ferner".
Welcome, new hillbilly.
I'm West "by God" Virginia, born and raised and will die a Mountaineer.
If you don't have one short leg and one long leg you aint from West Virginee.
a friend of my mother's said to her one day at the beauty parlor," Glynn, i married Bob in 1936 & moved to Camp County, had four girls by him,taught school for 34 years & retired to our farm here. WHEN am i EVER going to stop being called a NEWCOMER???"
mother, fwiw, said, "Eileen, the answer is NEVER, i'd guess."
i HAD to LOL at that.
