Eddie, Although this is not exactly genealogy and does not exactly concern all of the list members, it is about lifestyles of the families of some of our list members. Back in the 1960s all of us living in the coal fields became known as poor dumb hillbillies after some of the residents of D.C. visited our area. I went to see the movie OCTOBER SKY on Friday night and for the first time since the '60s someone has portrayed us as just plain old normal people trying to make a living and a life for ourselves with what was within our grasp. The movie gives a true picture of life and our lifestyle during that time frame. I'd recommend that anyone who hasn't seen the movie to see it ASAP! Grace Dotson (A coal miners daughter)
