I grew up not far from West Virginia...a lot of poverty, but a really beautiful state. I think we can make a Baker's Dozen out of this. I'll accept just about anything for a "connection".. I'd like to keep this lighthearted and fun! π

Yes! I figured she would get mentioned... I'd always thought she was born and raised in Charleston, but she was actually born in Houston (TX). She's talked a lot about growing up in Charleston in some of her interviews.

Shoutout to Mr. Clutch; The Logo; Zeke from Cabin Creek: Mr Jerry West (RIP)
shareYes...the father of one of my brother's friends (and former
co-worker with my brother) was a high-school classmate of Jerry West. Jerry West was just one of those rare people that was great at everything he did. An NBA legend, both as a player and front-office genius. RIP, Jerry West.
Another great choice! She was an interesting actress...had some memorable roles for sure. Sad that she's no longer with us, unfortunately.
