When you see Rich again, tell him I said hello Josh.

Rich and I started working for Jim Walter at about the same time. He came down from Missouri fresh out of school with some of his college friends, and I worked with them at No. 3 Mine.

I was the mine clerk then before going underground later.

A.B. Beasley was general mine foreman, and he seemed to be trying to make it rough on all of us.

I think Rich will agree now that the 'Ol Man was right. He was teaching us to do things right and not get hurt.
