Derby Day

These two were in great form at the Derby Day party. The food was fantastic, as always. Corby certainly can plan a party!!! The friends who were at the reunion were also at the Derby party. It was a great time.

I agree that Corby and Brian are the most amazing hosts. It's too bad that we live so far away. It's nice that you and Carey had such a good visit. I remember that Carey instigated the reunion in Willmington several years ago. He called me to say that he was planning a trip to you house. He suggested that I call you to see if we could come along also. As you know, we all came and had a great time. Do you remember our surrogate brother Drew that weekend?!!!

Fired brewed Stroh's was Drew's choice that night (after the rest of the good beer was consumed). It was great.

The last reunion had another attendee who was not a family member. Tom, my neighbor got golf lessons for free - beer included.

Amazing.

I'm sorry that we missed the Derby party. I'll post something about our trip this weekend.

While we are talking about additional guests at family get-togethers, let's not forget our lost brother Clark at the wedding in Okemah.

 Carey called me and asked if I could find the listing of contacts for our family that he created years ago.  I did have a file copy and Carey and I updated it.  I have attached this here in Word and Pages that can be edited for new entries and updates.  There is also a PDF copy.  I added sections for Aunts & Uncles and Cousins.  These sections are missing people and dates, but perhaps I can work with Kristin to fill in some of this.

 When watching the evening news today, I saw an image of coal barges lined up at the docks at the USS Mon Valley Steel Plant.  Of course the news segment was about the White House blocking the sale of USS to Nippon Steel.  My mind wandered to to dad's career at the Robena Prep Plant.  I didn't think that it was still in operation but I searched for more information.  I found that the Robena deep mines closed in 1983, but plant continued to operate until 2017 processing coal from surface mining for Consol Mining.  It seems that reclamation of the site began many years before 2017, most likely mandated by local concerns about environmental damage from seepage from the three large slurry ponds and other surface contamination.  Dad took me out one Sunday afternoon to inspect the dikes and berms around the ponds.  We had to hop into one of the big company trucks to traverse the dirt roads around the site. I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
