haha thanks chica... i do apologize for the shoddy writing style displayed in the above entry (i was tired). but i would love to just find that same man and ask him about his story.. i have a hunch it was a lot like abuk's and aeul's b/c of the questions he asked me (abt fam and edu). i just hope he's well and taken care of in this awful new england weather.
anyhow... coal mining, elizabeth. perpetually coal mining.
