Missing Appalachia

It's been awhile since I left the

mountains. It was only a brief encounter,

but I left behind a piece (or two or three) of my heart. It beats with a

longing until I return...

"History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail

of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale gleams the passion of

former days." -Winston Churchill
