The death may have occurred in a location that would eventually be WV, but it was not WV at the time of the incident. <br /><br /> - EricE-Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071584859033640361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108382665458119460.post-69970797134306364652013-04-04T22:44:58.620-04:002013-04-04T22:44:58.620-04:00Gary - I'm with you.
