re: Update on: The Whitakers - Inbred family in West Virginia

Old telephone man, like I’ve said on here before. I’ve worked in and around these kinds of folks for years. Don’t know if they were inbred or what, but that dazed visage these folks have—I’ve seen that from EBR to Tangi to (especially) LP.

That house—I’ve seen way worse.

My great uncle resembled Ray a lot. He had a severe speech impediment that was nearly impossible to decipher. I found myself being his translator when I was a kid, and when I moved away for a few years, I had to re-learn his speech. No inbreeding there—his siblings all turned out fine. We used the “R” word back in those days.
