OCTOBER 7,2006

Started out a wet day but the rain stopped just as the fire truck rolled up.The weather didn't stop the crowds that wanted to see the "Rocket Boys"

Red always says a special prayer.

A few words from Bob "little proff" Likens

A message from the governors office

Bill Bolt, never a loss for words!

A few people were made Honorary Members of Coalwood.  Top: Julie Ferris from Minnesota.  To your left: Sandy and Vicki Brindle from NC and on the bottom: yours truly, Rhonda and David Goad, (VA).

Even though I was raised in Coalwood, once you leave you need a official paper to get back !

Friendships and memories made in Coalwood last forever.

These fine officers came all the way from Texas.

and of course there's always the great music and dancing...
