SHAME!!! SHAME!!! I am not ashamed and never will be ashamed of were I was born and raised. and never be ashamed of my back ground being born and raised only a few miles from the va line in a little town called wheelwright Ky but my Mother and Dad being from Appalachia area and all of my aunts and uncles and cousins.neither side of my family were rich or great property owners just proud working people coal miners and loggers but not rich. I now live in middle Tn. but I proudly tell people where I am from and my family is from. Just remember one thing the people from there area of sw-va and south eastern Ky are the backbone of this nation or should I say what little nation that we have left.
