We come from Pike county - Boldman / Harold. My fondest childhood memories are of fishing in the big sandy and hanging off the old Boldman swinging bridge. Not a better bunch of people on the planet, if ya ask me. Papaw was a coal miner and the family grew up poor. Every single one of his 12 kids graduated high school which was a feat in those times. They didn't have anything but each other and, because of that, I have the closest family any of my friends have ever been around. When I graduated from high school relatives from 7 different states attended. Just this past weekend I had relatives from Arkansas, southern Illinois, Kentucky, California, and Oklahoma at my house simply because we decided it had been too long since we had all been together. Will see a bunch of them again in October.
My family has always been rich.......even if their bank accounts haven't always been very large
ETA - is the pic from Daniel Boone state park?
