Robert Grimes People Quotations

I remember the first time I ever drove through deep, southern West Virginia. I couldn't even understand the accent of the people there, you know. They couldn't understand me. West Virginia, actually, is a state that's made up of some different kinds of communities.

Buffalo Creek was caused by a lake up on a hill that literally broke loose and washed down and just literally took out a community. I was down there the day after the disaster, and it was, I've never seen anything like it. Not only did it wreck the community, but it threw it other places. People were running around, who did survive, lots didn't. But, people were running around looking for their homes.
