I wish they still made women like her today.  No kidding. Had to give the kids at work a history lesson today. One of them girl shippers claims to love Dolly Parton. But when I mentioned Loretta Lynn's passing today, she had no idea who I was talking about. So, I jokingly gave her some "homework" today. I wrote down: Loretta Lynn Patsy Cline Bobbie Gentry Jeanie C. Riley Tammy Wynnette Lynn Anderson Tanya Tucker Linda Rondstadt and told her to check them out on Youtubes. That right there is the graduatin' class of the Ladies of Country.

Absolutely!!!! I've been there doing support for a certain brand motorcycle probably twenty plus times starting at the second event in 1983. Great times and Lorreta showed up often. Family and personal friend Dave Coombs Sr. (RIP) shown here with Loretta (from your RacerX link) was the promoter of the Loretta Lynn's Amateur Motocross National Championship. Godspeed and RIP Loretta

Her mom’s maiden name was Raney, and the Raney family was part Cherokee.
I think you can see that in her cheek bones.
Through the Raney’s Patti Loveless is a distant cousin of Loretta.
VanLear, the coal company town named for a President of the Consolidation Coal Company,
was a unique place.
Many immigrant families were brought by train from seaports directly there, unlike nearby coal towns.
Very diverse mix of backgrounds, mix of music.
Surrounding coal camps were mostly populated by local mountaineers.
Some distance away, other “Consol” coal camps at Jenkins and Lynch were similarly “worldly.”
If you walk up Butcher Holler to the ridgeline, you are looking down into Auxier Holler, one of my grandmother’s family homeplace.
