February 6, 2003 18:11:16 - Grew up in Cleveland, Ohio but now live in Baltimore, Md. Randy Berholtz (Shamokin HS '79) | rberholtz172~AT~cs~DOT~com Hiya dooin? I'm from three generations of Shamokin miners and dress factory workers and can't stop smiling when I read these messages from the Anthracite dispora. You should all be proud of where you came from because looking at this country today, we were taught some of the best values by some of the best parents, teachers and coaches in the country. I am interested in helping kids from the region attend college and become professionals the way I was helped by former Anthracite people. We should help pull our resources to help Anthracite kids attend college, get internships and enter professional careers. I'm sure that many of you can remember what it was like to apply to and attend such schools when your parents didn't have the skills or knowledge to help you. I would love to help put together an informal Anthracite connection to help such students and welcome any help or advice you may have. All the best. ----Randy February 6, 2003 00:05:39 - Shamokin/Coal Township/San Diego, CA kathy | ndgmom~AT~yahoo~DOT~com thanks for the coal speak dictionary. a lot of my new york friends understand me better now!
