Happy Birthday West Virginia

from your friend, resident, critic and lover, Tamara.

Wow, you are 163 West Virginia and I am proud of you. You show your age and I love that. The hills and mountains are craggy and rough in places where King Coal has not touched. Our mountains and hollers are still hold the memories where floods swept down from the strip-mined mountain tops to take the lives of the residents of that community in one fell swope – that was Buffalo Creek.
