THOUGHTS ON MY
WV EXPERIENCE |
|
 |
My
WV Experience
consisted of 16
years, from 1974
to 1990. It
definitely was a
new experience
for me. I found
the people
overwhelmingly
friendly and
accepting of a
"Yankee" from
PA.
I was a late
night person, by
late night I
mean I usually
didn't go to bed
until after 2:30
AM. I soon
realized that
the town rolled
up around 7 or 8
except the bars
and I wasn't a
drinker.
I remember
kicking a stick
up the middle
alley (a can was
too loud) from
one end of town
to the other.
The Lord solved
that situation
over time with
getting to know
some families
and people that
I spent time
with. Ted
Anderson was
one. He was a
local police
officer that
worked the
midnight shift
and I would ride
along with him
sometimes.
At some point I
got a key to the
school and would
spend time there
in the evenings
working in my room
and playing
basketball in
the gym.
I really enjoyed
the kids, and
spending time
with them in
school and
outside of
school.
I enjoyed my
time in WV and
have a lot of
fond memories of
being there.
I don't know how i got to
know some of the
people so well
or why
they were so
friendly and
accepting of me.
I was truly
blessed.
I will be
sharing more as I
continue to
develop my WV
Experience... |
