Welcome to our home page entitled "Almost
Heaven".
Now, it ain't much; however, since it's author and family live in
South Carolina and are about 40 years removed, it is our means to
share a love we have for our native home. It was once said years
ago that although the sun may not always shine on West Virginia
it always shines on her people! It has also been said that you
can take the boy out of the country but you can not take the
country out of the boy! Hopefully someday those "Country
Roads" will again "Take Us Home". Again welcome,
enjoy, drop us a line and Let's Go Mountaineers!!!!!!! Come back
often for this site will be upgraded regularly.
My name is Bill, my wife is Karin, and our
daughter is Karina, My sons are David and Thomas. I was born in
Clendenin, West Virginia, and have lived in Columbia, South
Carolina since I retired from the US Army in 1980. Karin was born
and raised in Offenbach Germany, My daughter Kariria and son
Thomas was born in Landstuhl Germany. My oldest son David was
born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Although we have been away
from West Virginia for quite some time we continue to respect
deep Mountaineer roots.
I have recently retired from the South Carolina Department of Corrections, This will be my second retirement. I have also just bought a old used Bass Boat and I am planning on catching a few fish in the lakes and streams around here soon..
