Memo to Don Jim

What part of Kentucky did you say you were from again? People assume West Virginia is populated entirely with mountain-born people. "Hillbillies," if you will. This is less true in the northern part of the state, which is more urban and industrial, and was settled less by Scotch-Irish, and more by Italian, Czech, and other Central/Eastern Europeans (and so is more Catholic than the southern part of the state).
