Crystal: I would love to have ANY information you and your father are willing to share. I have been to St. Charles a few times in the last couple of years and have always hoped to visit one of the mining facilities, but it has never happened. I'd love to hear the stories about your mining ancestors!

He no longer works as a strip miner but works in the coal prep plant. Both my grandfathers were miners. My greatgrandfather was miner too. I have some info...let me know.
