Later, Steve provided more details about himself. 

I am originally from Carolina, WV. I was born at my Grandmother's house on First Street and I remained in Carolina until I graduated from college. I lived in a house that was on 4th street with my family. I then moved to Maryland in the DC suburbs and have been here ever since. My brother, Dave Higinbotham, lived with my grandparents on First Street so I spent a lot of time there when I was growing up.

• Harold Dean Kniceley responded:  Steve, I remember you and David. David was in my class at school. We lived on 5th st, last house up on the right. We always had big gardens and a big yard, with a small house. I remember your dad walking up 4th street always whistling. Good to hear from you.

  
  
• Steve Mikulski Hi Harold, I remember your house well. You lived next to the Martin's or close to them. I use to play with Gary and Terry when I use a kid. 
• 
  
• Harold Dean Kniceley Steve, I have a lot of good memories from my days growing up in Carolina. Do you remember the Ashleys? We used to keep slops for their hogs and every year Bess would bring us fresh sausage after butchering time. We all shared stuff on 5th street, garden vegetables, tools, and work Those were good times..
