I got  $5,000 for a five year lease on 4.5 acres from a different company in Marion  Co. If they don't drill in  that time then they have to negotiate all over again. I don't own the land, just the mineral  rights, and this does b other me signing something that can permit them to drill on that land, but I'm only one of  several  owners. Great grandfather sold the  land retaining the mineral rights. Since there was a coal mine on the land, I'm certain  that was what he was thinking about.   A GOOD LAUGH AND A LONG  NIGHTS SLEEP ARE THE TWO BEST CURES FOR ANYTHING.

Jeff, I don't own any mineral rights in Tenmile district but do in Harrison and Lewis. I don't know this Reynolds but there are former owners of property but the Reynolds in Harrison C0unty in fact I live only a short distance from the former Reynolds farm now owned by a local Doctor and his wife, they have a horse farm on it now. As for selling your rights, I would hold on to it for a little while longer to see if you do receive funds from the Marcellus drilling which is very large in this area. The Sheriff sold lots of mineral rights in the Ten mile area for unpaid taxes recently and MIke Ross a State Senator or House of Rep. member has a oil Company and he bought a lot of it. Make sure your Son still owns his rights, if he failed to pay his taxes he has a year to reclaim them. Will see if I can find out anything on Don Reynolds. He may be a Son of Ben Reynolds [deceased] and I know members of that family. EVA Newlon ---- Jeff Williams <jmwms@bellsouth.net> wrote: > It is not a scam.

It is not a scam. This is the result of being able to get gas by fracking. Not sure what share you own, but my son has soul rights to about nine acres and was offered $10,000. I was told that over time he could probably get $40,000 from it. He decided to keep his mineral rights. -----Original Message----- From: hcgs-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:hcgs-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Pam & Mike Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 1:32 PM To: hcgs@rootsweb.com Subject: [HCGS] Need some help please I know this may be a strange request.

Yes Arden, I think you have to have lived long enough to know what a half of a century or three quarters of a century worth of time means to really appreciate history.  This may be part of the reason that young people don’t appreciate history as much as we older people appreciate it.  My oldest brother graduated from WI in the class of 52, so you and I are pretty close in our ages.   When your mental tool box for measuring time only includes small measuring sticks such as months, weeks, days and years, it is hard to wrap your mind around how long a hundred years is.  Terms such as score (20 years), generation (33 years) or lifetime (70 years) are far more vague or less easy to grasp.      Part of it may also be in how we were educated or how our minds are wired.  When the news media throws around big numbers such as millions, billions and trillions, they are just numbers to most of us.  In my environment, I can look at a new Navy destroyer which costs $2 billion each to build, equip, train the crew, etc.  An aircraft carrier may be $5 billion.   500 destroyers would be $1 trillion.  We have about 300 ships in the Navy.  It is hard to picture 30 ships let alone 500 ships.   The DDG 51 Arleigh Burke class ship is 510 feet long and according to Wikipedia cost $1.843 billion to build with over 60 in the water.  The CG 47 Ticonderoga class was 567 feet long and about 55 feet wide with 22 still on duty.  Picture 10 DDG 51 ships anchored bow to stern with 20 feet between them, which would be one mile.  Now picture a second line of ships anchored 45 feet in parallel from the first line.  Each line of ten ships would occupy a patch of ocean 100 feet wide and I mile long and would represent about $20 billion.  To visualize $1 trillion worth of ships, expand this visual example to 50 lines of 10 which would be 500 ships and occupy a little less than one square mile of water.  To visualize our $16 trillion national debt, expand this one square mile of ships image to a square 4 miles on each side which would be 16 square miles.  That many ships could easily fit inside of Chesapeake Bay or Mobile Bay if the bays were deep enough to accomodate the ships 27 feet of draft requirement.   To provide a visual example of $1 billion which is relevant to most people in WV, 50 years ago I had a summer job where I worked on a survey crew building I-77, I-79 and I-81.  Then they said it cost about $1 million per mile with no big bridges to build an Interstate.  I’m sure that it is now many times that.  The Jane Lew exit on I-79 is at mile marker 105 which means that from Charleston where I-79 starts is 105 miles to Jane Lew.  In 1960’s dollars, that would have been 100 miles times $1 million per mile equals $0.1 billion to build I-79 from Charleston to Weston.  Add in a few more similar size patches of roads and you have $1 billion.  Part of that time I worked in Beckley and drove US 19 home on weekends.  Building the Interstate cut that travel time in half.  A nearly 4 hour trip then only takes 2 hours now.  You probably see the same savings in travel time with the improvements on US 33.  Of course, there are trade offs.  You don’t see as much of the beautiful scenery when a roads cuts through a hill.   But, you are not as likely to get wiped out by a coal truck coming around a curve on your side of the road.         Just like watching Jeopardy, It is good exercise for our aging brains to think about these things and do a math calculation once in a while.  Dave Kuhl 210 Glen Eagles Drive Ocean Springs, MS 39564-9041 e-mail: dbkuhl@bellsouth.net ________________________________ From: Arden Swiger <aswiger@suddenlink.net> To: hcgs@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, December 9, 2012 6:33:26 AM Subject: Re: [HCGS] Remember Pearl Harbor Dave I can see the events your talking about only too clearly!

I did not go to WI High School but I do get their newsletter. In the November issue the lady that puts it out wanted some feedback on genealogy. I gave her our webpage and told them about the maps they might be interested in. She has asked them to look at our webpage and also to sign the guest book there. I don't see any new guests yet but hopefully we will. Ruby

I can only tell how many people we have on the members only list because a lot of people do have computers but they aren't interested in all of the chatter on the list as it does not pertain to them. We have 98 members on the list right now. Diana, Ted and David are all getting these e-mails so they should have some idea what can be done. We did table it until the next meeting and then we will decide what is going to be done. It is going to be something that will make it easier on Diana. Like I said she has a full time job, and some little grandchildren so she doesn't want to spend all of her time at the Waldomore. Now she is working on the Christmas party to make it a success and she does the annual picnic in the summer. So for one I do thank Diana for all she does. Ruby

What if, on the membership renewal form, we asked these questions - or for a vote/opinion, like so:    "Check here if you prefer newsletter by email  Check here if you prefer your newsletter by snailmail.  From: Ruby Casto <recasto47@frontier.com> To: hcgs@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, December 2, 2012 10:26 PM Subject: [HCGS] NEWSLETTER I can only tell how many people we have on the members only list because a lot of people do have computers but they aren't interested in all of the chatter on the list as it does not pertain to them.   We have 98 members on the list right now.   Diana, Ted and David are all getting these e-mails so they should have some idea what can be done.  We did table it until the next meeting and then we will decide what is going to be done.  It is going to be something that will make it easier on Diana.  Like I said she has a full time job, and some little grandchildren so she doesn't want to spend all of her time at the Waldomore.    Now she is working on the Christmas party to make it a success and she does the annual picnic in the summer.  So for one I do thank Diana for all she does.

I think that is a valid point. I have done bulk mailing for our church before. I understand the difficulties involved and completely sympathize with anyone out there trying to tackle a mass mailing. I would think that if even 50% of our members preferred to have the newsletter electronically, then it might be easier to email it to those 50% and snail mail it to those who prefer paper. I think I might prefer email at this time.

It was finally resolved when we realized that the cost to snail mail to those who did not have computers was less than the cost of the bulk mailing. Is there any possibility that that could be true for HCGS?

Ruby and all, One thing would be nice if someone out there would write a few Christmas Poems Which I could add to the Christmas Story I have set up to go on Dec 15.
