It was about 10:15 and they weren't open yet so I didn't wait I went by several restaurants which were crowded (hunters and leaf watchers) and finally stopped at a little service station/grocery just before I got to Seneca Rocks. I asked the girl working there if she could make me an egg sandwich which she did and I told her about not being able to buy eggs. After I ate my sandwich and drank two cups of the best coffe I have had for a long time and was getting ready to leave, she said I will give you an egg for your breakfast tomorrow if you want one. Only in West Virginia would they give you an egg, I told her and we started talking. I found out her mother and my dad were first cousins but neither of us knew that before. Not surprising since I had 57 first cousins. I am related to over 75% of the people in Pendleton County and proud of it. Bonnie Vance Miller
