My name is Barbara and I was born and raised in a small Coal Camp in Pageton, West Virginia, one of many small coal camps in McDowell County. My Parents were Steve and Pauline Sims. I went to Elementary school at Pageton, and Jr. High at Anawalt, and then to Gary for High School and graduated with the class of 57

I left home after graduating in 57 and went to Norfolk,VA got married, and left W.VA behind, but not in my heart. I have lived in all 4 corners of the U.S. and Alaska, Panama Canal Zone, Udhailiyah, Saudia Arabia. Sometimes I feel like the Hank Snow Song, I've been everywhere Man...I did come home once a year when I could, and loved going down those Country roads that was taking me home, it was the best feeling in the world. Memories all come flooding back and I still try to go home once a year. I live in Sebring, Fl now, and I've been going to the Gary Hollow Miracle Mtn Reunion in August, for the past couple of years and it was so wonderful seeing old friends and meeting new friends.

There's no place that I know of as beautiful as our West Virginia Hills, as our State song goes, If or sea or land I roam, still I think of Happy homes, and our friends among those West Virgina Hills.I just wanted you to know something about the way I feel about our beautiful State of West Virginia, and I'm especially proud to be a Gary Coaldigger.
