Jackson Brower shares a letter to mentor Gordon Crump Why culturally, Columbia shares problem of Pittsburg, PA (and maybe Rodney Daingerfield). Pittsburgh, like Columbia, is the "Athens of Appalachia," but rough and tumble, coal mining and football notoriety seems to overshadow its cultural achievements. A *WWNI alumnus brings shares Pennsyltucky concept, right fitting for the times we're in, with the juxtaposition of different cultures and the high drama being wrought before our eyes through the (controversial) stardom brought to Columbia by Christy Keltner, Rascal Flatt, Brent Yates, Jimmy Reliford, Travis Coomer, and the Sano Rooster on Backyard Oil, with another episode tonight on the Discovery Channel - we get only reports from Gradyville - our Columbia "box" didn't work even after Pen tried - and the cable guys said they'd send someone to install it - but so far, haven't seen one. - ED WAGGENER. From Jackson Brower, late of Barnett's Creek Road, Pellyton, Adair County, KY, to Gordon Crump, a most respected citizen of Clay Ridge, KY, and former editor of the Columbia, KY Daily Statesman and Editor-at-Large for the newspaper chain located, then, at 107 N Reed Street, Columbia, KY The Letter follows: How are you, my friend?. I read Ed's piece about you in Columbia Magazine, and I was so happy to hear that you are living the good life in good old Adair County Kentucky. I love the photo of you holding your goats. I'm in the oil and gas business now with Atlas Energy LP. We have an office in Knoxville TN for our Chattanooga Shale wells. Our headquarters are here in Pittsburgh, where we service our Marcellus Shale wells in PA and Utica Shale wells in OH. We also drill in WV, OK, CO and TX. What I do is promote our private investment drilling programs. Our clients are wealthy investors who become partners and get tax advantages as well as monthly distributions. I've been with Atlas for 5 years, and it's the first job I've ever had that utilizes my Marketing/Advertising degree. I am grateful for you and Ed teaching me much about journalism. Attached is a recent piece I did for the Union-Finley Messenger, and monthly community newspaper. It's my covenant "ink in my blood" hobby job. I'm telling Ed that he's welcome to run it in the Columbia Magazine. My boss said to just credit UFM www.unionfinley.com. Also is a link for a review of a book about Pittsburgh called "Paris of Appalachia"....about the city's culture and inferiority complex...very interesting! Appalachia is referred to as Pennsyltucky in a now-defunct country band from Uniontown, PA call the "Poverty Neck Hillbillies"....there probably on YouTube. Gotta run....reply back when you can. Best Regards, - Jackson Brower *WWNI. Waggener-Walker Newspapers, Inc. This story was posted on 2013-04-30 06:37:09
