I think often of Mud Fork and that coal camp where we spent our young years with good buddies. Harold was a year behind me in age. My brother Jack died Nov 26 2019. God bless them all!

We used to play together as kids at Calloway Camp on Mud Fork. The McClouds lived at the upper end of the camp and we lived in the last house at the lower end. Remember swimming in that black dirty coal creek. My brother Jack & I miss the good old days and we miss the good friends we were raised up with. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. God Bless.
