Miner Information:  
My grandfather was a mining supervisor in Wilkes-Barre.  As a young child,I used to go down in the mines behind the Court House on an afternoon when he would check to see that things were going right.  I remember that I had my own mining jacket and hat and got to carry a bird cage with a canary in it.  Thinking back now, I wouldn’t set foot near that mine shaft let alone go down in one.  But I was a kid and thought it was super to be with grandpa.  I also remember him having to go up to the Knox mine and dealing with all of the train cars that were dumped in trying to block the water.  I remember him coming home to Sunday dinner many times and telling my grandmother that they were digging too close to the river and there was going to be trouble some day, but no one would listen to him.  Thus the Knox Mine Disaster.  My grandfather met a man by the name of Popadopalus, who had just gotten off the boat in New York, and brought him to Wilkes-Barre. He helped him open the Liberty Cleaners Laundry.  Still open.
