July 8th 1930 my great grandpa died when a big piece of slate fell on him and crushed him. He was 30 years old. I have nothing but upmost respect to these great men that risk their lives everyday for America.

Sometimes you have to go slower to be your best. Bad top is a good example of that.

This is a very high seam. My dad was a pinner man, the last mine he was in was 18 inches in some spots, but mostly about 22 inches. He had to bend the bolts twice to get them in, then straightened them. Miners are the toughest men alive.
