Amazing to me people scrambling to get a a chance at a government handout. Here's a newspaper article from a town near where I'm from. Poor, proud mountain folks. Jobs are scarce. Most of the coal mines have long shut down. People scramble to get by on low paying jobs. They depend on their families, neighbors and churches to give a hand up sometimes.

My 91-year old father was telling me about this event. It is people we know, I was born and raised with the McGlothlins who put this together. Here's how life is suppose to work. Some $15 million raised privately for a private school in the coalfields of Virginia for needy children from all over the world. World class education. The school used to be a private orphanage.
