"Six West Virginia Where I was born, in 1934 ( a Part of Coalwood West Virginia coal patch, named after the number of the Consolidated coal Company Coalmines) no longer exists. The size of the trees that have long since grown there and covered the mountainside where the village was located give evidence of how long ago the area was vacated but memories still linger for a few of us. I will soon be 88 years old."
