I was so happy when I got up and saw the news yesterday morning. (I'm just now back online after moving this weekend, so I'm behind on the boards.) I was so relieved for the miners and their families after the horrible ordeal they've gone through. Andie, thanks for sharing some of your Dad's stories and giving a personal touch to the story for all of us. For those of us who do not live near mining areas, it can be easy to forget the challenges that miners face every day when they go to work.
