I wrote an epistle in response to this article over at WRSA, but the hour is late and I will not comment further tonight.Jeffery in Alabamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550280434516132497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-83057065754016094962014-01-11T19:02:12.466-05:002014-01-11T19:02:12.466-05:00:)!:)!Brock Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-20251696735576789472014-01-11T17:43:50.425-05:002014-01-11T17:43:50.425-05:00I hail from Pikeville Ky you do what you can and d...I hail from Pikeville Ky you do what you can and don't take no shit from the revenuers Pirate Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06515993185869391335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-84165229875335567242014-01-11T16:52:01.487-05:002014-01-11T16:52:01.487-05:00Good to hear that and it would be fun to visit wit...Good to hear that and it would be fun to visit with you.Brock Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-74061763179144856502014-01-11T15:28:09.120-05:002014-01-11T15:28:09.120-05:00Well....Since I grew up about seven miles from Boo...Well....Since I grew up about seven miles from Boonville (My family has lived there since AT LEAST the 1770s (we still hold the land grant for service in the Revolution) I call this one more anti-hillbilly propaganda. People don't shoot at each other there because they are for the most part Kin who have been raised in a county with a population under 15000 and have known each other for generations (I swear that I can go to almost any home in the county tell them who I am and who my mother and grandmother are/were and be invited to supper as family) The writer simply has no clue what a small generational community like that is. I am from Candy Branch in Owsley Co Ky. Pop. under 100 ALL OF THEM -everyone within MILES is blood kin (third cousin or closer)---Ray Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
