Jackie, You need to get some of Pauline Haga's books. Go in on Gracie's web site and look up Pauline's books. Many pictures from the mines you are looking for. You didn't give your age[send it to me] when you were in these places. I lived and visited these areas . Did you go to Koppers Camp? The high light of my young life..Norma Jackie5050@aol.com wrote: > Hi All > Seems like quite a few of us from Raleigh County moved to Florida, but I sure > do miss the mountains.
