It is my good fortune to have a good friend and former boss, "Bernard Johnson", who let me borrow the following pictures. They were taken underground at the Motor Barn at #2 Mine. B.J. was my first foreman at Olga Coal Co. Like all the foreman at Olga, I learned a lot about mining from them. I also learned lessens about people and how to treat them. Lessons I use every day.
I could never figure out how B.J knew how long it would take to finish a job. No mater how fast I worked or how slow, he always showed up when I'd finish. I have been a foreman for 11 years in a steel foundry and my men say the same thing about me. Funny what we learn and dont think about it. . . . Thanks for lessons well learned B.J.
