Members Rabid Posted August 8, 2005 Members Share Posted August 8, 2005 As a child I lived on Hector and went to elementary school at Goose Rock. There are not many names that seem strange to me. One usually mentioned is Climax, Kentucky. That is in a neighboring county. Other places in the area: Chop BottomGrey HawkGray Hawk (two seperate places spelled differently)HimaOgleBenge Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blackpig Posted August 8, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 8, 2005 Hmm... Harry Byrd. I swear that that there lived in a village near me a man called Dicky Bird. The village is called Fethard. I also used to hang out in a pub owned by an accordion player who in his youth courted a certain Kitty Whitty from Ballymitty.
