Underwood, elected in 1996. >> I enjoyed both articles written on West Virginia history, but would like to call attention to a small, insignificant error, the article referred to Gov. Underwood as a Democrat, Cecil H. Underwood, a Republican, was elected as West Virginia's youngest governor in 1956 at age 34, next elected 40 years later as the most senior governor at age 74 in 1996. He is running for reelection in 2000, since West Virginia has a 2 term limit this would be his last term if elected. Thank You Sidney P. Dent
