I can't pass up this opportunity to say how very proud I am of my Eastern KY heritage also. My grandfather Charles "Wesley" Slone was born in Johnson County. He married Calista Murphy from Lawrence Co and started a family there. He lived in Boyd Co and eventually settled down in Pike Co. I was born in Boyd Co and raised in Pike County. The Army took me away in '63. This part of the country is beautiful and I visit every chance I can. I had a very good experience this past week in that I was able to visit Boyd Co, Lawrence Co and Johnson Co Courthouses and Libraries. I found a lot of gold buried there. Living in (also) beautiful Augusta, Ga. Chuck Slone
