    Loved it. Love the diplomatic abd clever way Miss Pentelope planned and spoke. Also liked the way the grandfather spoke about his beliefs and the respect given by the son and his wife to him but also to their son

    Hi. I love listening to your tales of Appelacia. My late mother in law was a British nurse who led a team of fellow nurses, known as the Pioneers, into Appelacia to set up primary health care services for the local people. She travelled around on horse back too see and treat her patients . She returned to Britain at the outbreak of WW2 .

    My dad might’ve been one of the last pupils to attend a 1-room schoolhouse here in the northern panhandle of WV in New Manchester, WV that schoolhouse still remained there when I was a child in the 80’s, I know that’s for sure because my grandparents lived on the hill up above it & the elementary school that was built beneath it. My Gram worked in the elementary school as an aide up until my Gramp passed. And yup her 3 kids attended the 1room schoolhouse that sat next door. I miss my Gram, she was left alone on her own because of a certain stupid virus…makes me sick 🤢 if you’d seen the fragility of her body when she left this earth, you’d understand

    I knew a local preacher and his wife. The wife had a large goiter on her neck, and her preacher husband wouldn't let her seek medical help, saying GOD would heal her. The goiter
    grew until it was affecting her breathing, GOD wasn't doing his job I guess, still no doctor allowed. The preacher, a scoundrel I knew well died. His wife then sought medical help,
    the growth was removed, and she is now living a healthy life.
    Such is the danger of religion.
