My name is Tony Collins and I am from Letcher Co., Ky. I did not know my father as well as I would have liked to. He and my Mother divorced when I was young and he lived away. His name was Jimmy Collins, his father was Rollie Collins who married a lady named Pearl. My Father Died not to long ago and I had to here of it through a phone call. I regret not trying to know him better, good or bad. Any help for me?
