Sago Disaster inspires Daniel Wilson to write Mine for a Mansion WHVE Weatherman writes his own story about song he wrote about WV disaster, which he sang at the Sago Baptist Church. The song was recognized by WV Governor Joe Manchin III and has been inducted into the WVU Regional History Archives and WV State Museum Now with photo of Daniel and Governor Manchin, Dan and Pastor Day, and of the church By Daniel Wilson dano@vortexmail.com On January 18, 2006, 16 days after the death of the coal miners in Buckhannon, West Virginia, through inspiration, I was given the song "Mine for a Mansion" in memory of those who lost their lives in the Sago Mine. Through the course of the past few months, I was able to record the song on a CD project and it has been recognized by Joe Manchin III, the Governor of West Virginia and has been inducted into the West Virginia University Regional History Archives and the West Virginia State Museum on the grounds of the capitol. Sang at the church the world watched during the disaster I traveled to Upsher County, West Virginia and was able to sing the song at the Sago Baptist Church where Bro. Wease Day is the pastor, the same church the world watched during the disaster as families gathered there to pray and to weep. It was a very emotional when I was allowed to ring the bell that was rang when the miners were thought to be alive and safe. Through local contributions, I was able to give some of the families CD's and to be able to share in their grief. The people of that community was not only awesome, but they welcomed me with open arms. Met Peggy Ware, daughter of mine accident disaster I met Peggy Ware, the daughter of Fred Ware, Jr, who died in the mines and she shared with me the events of that day and I presented her a CD. She showed me an enlarged picture of her dad that had been signed by PResident George W. Bush. While there I did the song on WBUC Channel 3 in Buckhannon, West Virginia during a service sponsored by the Tallmansville/Sago Baptist Churches. On the way home, I was able to meet with the Governor Manchin at the State Capitol, two months after he officially recognized the works. While there I was able to see the Sago Mine and the coal tipple and meet some of the survivors.
