The title of ÒA Heart with a Country MindÓ comes from how my childhood influenced who I am today. Despite all of the change and all of the travelling IÕve done, my mind and heart will always be in West Virginia. Since I lived there until I was twenty-three, I have a large attachment to the state and the memories of it will always live on. Through the years, IÕve changed a lot and IÕve gained a lot of experience as a person. Due to this, I wanted to finish this project for the future generations of the family, so they can see a portion of where they come from. My goal for this project was to tell the story of my life, the family, and the people who IÕve touched.
