13 traits of people from small towns like mine Quiet Dell, Wva.( maybe a hundred people- my one room school on the National Register and the spot for a book called Quiet Dell by my former student Jayne Ann Phillips
12- people know when you need help and you don't even have to ask
13- Every body knows YOUR NAME
(***I have just learned that a former student Jayne Anne Phillips has written her 9th book about my little unincorporated place Quiet Dell .It is based on the Lonely Hearts Bluebeard killer Harry Powers, Jr.who killed families after luring them to him - my father helped capture him. Book released late 2013)

ReplyDeleteYou mean you east coasters are the same? I thought you had too high a population density to be familiar with this stuff. (So sayeth the Montana girl)
ReplyDeleteI'm small town, too. The books sounds interesting. I hope your friend is successful with it.
ReplyDeleteQuiet Dell. Oh I love that name. I love small towns. One day when I retire I'm going back to one. The last one about small town on calling a wrong number and knowing who called sounds really cute!
