Two more re-posts from the first edition of this blog. I wrote these stories because all though I have to admit that at the time I was living in West Virgina I thought I was thrown away for good, I have a tremendous fondness for the place and the people I spent time with there. I've lived many places and I've come to the conclusion that the people I lived with in West Virgina were among the best people as a group I've ever come across. They understood there is a right and a wrong, and many believed, as I do, that striving to be a good person can be an end unto itself. Is this story true? About 90% of "Wheeling" is true, and 75% of "Jamboree" is true. Again ..feelings the are true.
I posted "Jamboree" as a complete story because it isn't terribly long.
