My graduating class had a little over 30 kids and it was one of the bigger classes, not a red light in sight, we did have a couple of stores so if we had to have gas or a few essentials before we got back out to the store. You know what though I didn't mind it, it's what you get use to and it was the only thing I ever knew.

Needless to say I was into sports, Basketball, softball, some cheerleading and some track. Basketball was my favorite.

Just hang in there who knows you may find something that you really enjoy and make some great friends that you can hang out with in the process.

Sorry for rambling.

that is where my father grew up.....near clintwood va. it was actually called nora mountain. are you familiar with this area. AND IT IS THE BOONEYS.
