Larry Gibson 1946-2012

I never met him.  I regret it.  I only make it back to West Virginia once a year, and the extra three-hour trip south from the Northern Panhandle seemed too long this past summer in between family commitments.  Now, it seems like it would have taken no effort at all to make the pilgrimage so many have made to Kayford Mountain.  My friend Mike had the good fortune of visiting him the summer before.  He said Larry was very clear.

He had a specific question for his visitors:
"Now that you've seen it; what are you going to do about it?"
