United Mine Workers of America

[Thomas Seay]

Wait a minute...I grew up in West Virginia, but
did go to school at University of Virginia.
Certainly there were LOTs of people on our side
in West Virginia...and when I was in the Communist
Workers Party in the late 70s early 80s there was
communist work being done both in the Tidewater region
of Virginia as well as in the mine regions of
southwestern Virginia.
