Old nails from courthouse seen in 45 year old timber
In Mullens West Virginia a reader recounts a courthouse demolition scene noting cut nails pulled from the old building, many still untarnished after 45 years. The narrative shifts to a Wyoming County Press Association meeting, local educators and editors, a gift offer from Jack Shipman, and a snowbound return trip with mentions of football and regional schools.
