John's Story
Life
I am # 5 of 11 children, ten of whom are stil on the earth as of November 16, 2011. Reared on a farm in Witten's Valley, Tazewell County, VA. - though I started school in Miss Buskill's private first grade in Richlands, VA. I always enjoyed school and except for athletics, excelled easily. However, in life, I actually dropped out of college after several years of checkered success. I am a current member of MENSA, though, and have been reasonably successful in business - specifically contracting.

As my wife deteriorated, I closed my business and after her death, moved back to Tazewell County to live out my days. I currently reside at River Bend Estates in Bluefield VA. My sisters Debby and Betty have been Godsends helping me in so many ways. I love these mountains here and what I once thought corny now seems awesome - deriving strength from the area and its mountains.
I sleep a lot and I am a dialysis patient 3 days a week. I keep a cheerful outlook though. If you remember me, why not call me (276) 644-2210.
