I was born in a company owned house in a coal mining "patch" named St. Nicholas, located in the heart of Pennsylvania's anthracite "coal region". Upon completing high school, I migrated to Reading, Pennsylvania, were I spent nearly thirty years working in a steel mill. Now that I'm retired, I like to bend the ears of anyone who will listen about life growing up in the "coal region". You can take a coal cracker out of the "coal region," but you can't take the "coal region" out of a coal cracker.
