New page! They grow up so fast.
Just as a point of interest, the coal mine explosion from the previous pages was a true event. The year was actually 1951 (I had to fudge that to fit the narrative of the story.) Almost 120 people were killed, and digging 56 hours after the explosion rescue workers weren’t expecting to find any survivors. But one hardy dude, Cecil Sanders, found his way into an air pocket in the rocks. Even he didn’t think he was going to live through it, and wrote a note to his family on the back of a cough drop wrapper. But lo, he was rescued in the nick of time and lived to less than a decade ago. There’s your trivia for the eve.
