Miners lift up memories of two coal town families
Former high school star Heath Miller helped protect in football and now a correctional officer Jamie Lester reflects on the shift from coal to public service. His friend Dustin Altizer, a fourth generation miner, weighs the need to keep farming dreams alive while awaiting Consol’s recall. Both men traveled to meet Mitt Romney, sharing tales of Cherry Coke and a down to earth demeanor, while facing uncertain futures as coal jobs wane.
