Hello, Big Stone I was wondering why the children of our community don't have any where to do nothing at you say that our town is a fun place to be at but the only fun place is at home because we have nothing to do here. I would like to know why we don't have a place for the kids to do something fun and educational at because when kids are out for school they get bored and have nothing to do. I hope that you will build or make a place for our kids so they will be satisfied.

Thank you!

I grew up in Roda Va. I love coming back and visiting the museum and seeing the beautiful mountains. The town looks great. Keep up the good work. It will always be a special place to visit.

I grew up in Big Stone Gap and have been away since 1952. I always enjoy coming back for the local activities. I enjoyed the play very much and was surprised there was so much local talent. Good Web Site.

I will always be indebted to the producer and members of the Lonesome Pine Arts and Crafts Association for the three wonderful years, 1995, 1996 and 1997, I played "June Tolliver". I am honored to have been asked to come back this year to fill in for the current actress playing the role, on evenings she was unable to perform. Each time I have performed this year, I have been reminded of how much I miss playing "June". Anyone who sees the show should know of the hard work and dedication given by each actor and production crew member. If my day job did not require too much travel away from home, I would audition every year until I was too old to carry the youthful role. From mid April - August, the dedication and hardwork from cast members begins, spanning from rehearsals six nights per week through the three nights each week on stage for the show. I admire each and every member of the cast and will always keep my love for the Drama in a special place in my heart.

Mermories... sitting by the old coal stove on cold winter days petting my dog... swimming in Powell River... fishing.. floating down the river in an old car top.... squirrel hunting.. camping in Roaring Branch... exploring the caves... and especially all the friendships formed in the 50's in 60's. Seeing BSG on the web certainly makes me think back to those almost mythical years of childhood...

I saw the 'Trail of the Lonesome Pine' the summer I was 15. Many years later I married a man who's family lives in the area, so we visited there during our honeymoon. I was able to see the play again and loved it as much as the first time. I had carried the songs with me thru the years. Another 16 years have passed and I look forward to traveling to the gap and seeing the play once more before the summer is over. Thank you for 32 years of wonderful, romantic memories.

My grandmother lived in big stone gap for some time as a child. her name was Nellie Blanche Fritz. She was born in Bristol TN and moved to BSG sometime before 1890. She has 3 siblings that were born and buried there between 1890 and 1897. Her father was Alexander Brownlow Fritz and her mother Lucy Ellen Hickok. I also have some items that belonged to Charley Hickok who lived in Big Stone Gap and joined Company L 4th Key vol Inf on July 7 1898. If any of this rings a bell with anyone, would love to hear from you.

How did I find you? I was born in Appalachia, VA in 1951, as well as my father Arvil Hartford in 1917. My wife and I have been to Gig Stone Gap a few times and enjoy the friendlyness of the area. Having left VA. to Florida in 1953, I was the youngest of four. I can not tell you how I feel knowing, yet not knowing friends. I recall trips with my Father to the area where he would tell me stories of the hills (GODS COUNTRY) he calls it. I must say that one day while standing on a hillside over looking to wonders of GODs work, with an aproching storm, I never felt so close to my roots on the hill and my lord. The Post keeps me informed of my little home town and the truly good and wonderful people of the area. I know that when I vist friends they tell me how luckly I am to live in a big city. Life is not eazy in the hills or the city, but one thing is so very true No matter who or where you are or what you become in life, its the small things we work on day after day the have the most meaning to us all. Having a family to talk with in hard times and good times. To set with friends over a cup of morning coffee and talk of world evens. Talking to your son or daughter about lifes walk, then loving them so much to let them walk their own walk. That is what its all about, god bless, JOHN 3;16 Until then

I had the opportunity to visit Big Stone Gap earlier this year when my grandmother passed away. Her family is from Jonesville, but I think her husband's family is from BSG. His name is Charles Beverley and I believe his sister lives on the edge of the town (by the McDonalds). For anyone who knew her, my grandmother's maiden name was Vivian Weston. Much of my dad's family comes from that area (Lee County), so I'm interested in anything I can find out about the area or about anyone who may be relatives. The family names I know about are: Chadwell, Weston, Spangler, Quinley, Snodgrass.

I was born in Inman Hollar and went to school at Appalachia. I was in the last graduating class fron the "OLD" high school in 1960. It was good to see the webb site and see names of folks that I knew as a boy growing up in the area. It is 1 great place to be from.I have lived in the Northern Va. area for over 38 years. I married my high school sweetheart Nella Mae(Phillips) and we have 4 boys.

I grew up in Big Stone Gap, and I miss it very much. My husband grew up in Derby, Appalachia. All of our family and friends live in that area. I can't wait to come home for a visit.

Born in Norton Va, left BSG at age of 6, spent a lot of summers there with grandmother Celia Upchurch and other family. My paternal grandmother was Sarah Herron and I have a lot of aunts and cousins and an uncle still there. Related to Charolotte Hall and Upchurches, etc. Love the town and I miss the mountians very much. would like to move back sometime to the mountains and get out of this hot flatland. Thanks for the site.

I grew up in BSG, and often wonder about the people etc. that I knew there. I know it has changed a LOT. I was Regina Miller back then and graduated from PVHS in 1975.It was a great place to grow up in, although back then I longed to leave and see the world. I have seen some of it...and now I know I had it good in BSG.

He was married to Jennie Lawson Jennie was born in 1888 and died in 1984. They had many children together. Some of the children's names were Manuel, Ellis, Paul, Bernice, Gertrude, Hazel, Noah, Gladys, Ned, and Lillian. If any of these ring a bell to anyone, please drop me an e.

What a wonderful find! I really miss my "home" town and it was great to see familiar sites that bring back such fond memories of my early years. I wish I could see those beautiful mountains more often. I hope all my childhood friends have found much happiness in their lives. I'm sorry I lost touch long ago, but they are still in my heart.

I lived in BSG until graduation from PVS in 1968. My father passed away last June and now the home is up for sale so my ties to BSG are quickly passing by. I still have an uncle & aunt and cousins in BSG. Life was good but it takes getting older to realize that. Best wishes to everyone in BSG and it's great to see the community growing.

Although I grew up in Dante, I worked at the AT&T Virginia Relay Center in Norton. Met many good people there and left many good people behind when i transferred to the Charlotte Billing Center with AT&T. I started searching for anything mentioned about a VIP and a very good friend from VRC, Betty Cornett, she's on the Board of Supervisors in Big Stone Gap. So far I haven't found anything. I was glad to find this website though, keep up the good work.

I am really impressed with your web site. Attractive and informative. I am doing geneology research on my Grandmother, Rhoda Jones Mann, b. 1891. I remember so well the stories she told of growing up and attending school in BSG. She was in the same class as John Fox, Jr. Just thought I'd pay a visit and wallow in nostalgia for a bit. Keep up the good work.

My mother Ethel Puckett Rubins) and my grandmother (Minnie Stroud Puckett were from your area. My Aunt Gracie Puckett Kiser was also from your area. I am trying to obtain information about a reunion that is held in September of each year in a little town that was once called Finny. If anyone has information about this, I would like to be contacted.

Thank you for any assistance given to me.

Great job Gary! It would be nice to hyperlink email address. I was born and raised in Cadet, 73 grad of PV. Currently Information Systems Security Manager onboard USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT in the Ionian Sea. Yes we are involved. It's nice to be able to visit BSG from so far away. It almost makes 6 months away from home bearable. Lord willing this is my last deployment.
