Comments: Dottie- I just read of Larry’s passing. So very sorry. I’m glad you and Larry put together the best carbide collection in the world. I know you helped. I know he loved carbide lamps the best. Please keep your webpage going because I do like to visit it and see all the great stuff. A true museum. God bless and may Larry rest in peace. Mike McL

Comments: I've been out of touch so I'm OBVIOUSLY "late to the party", so to speak. Dottie, I just learned, by visiting yours and Larry's page, of Larry's passing. I'm so sorry for your loss. You two sure put together a world class collection in record time and it's very cool to stop by here now and then and look it over. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss and wish you all the best.

Comments: Really enjoyed the visit to your site and seeing such a great collection of mining artifacts. I started working in the mines in 1962 and worked in Manitoba, British Columbia, Ontario, California, Nevada, and Idaho. Worked for five years for the province of Ontario as the Mine Rescue Training Officer where I started a modest collection of mining materials. I am now downsizing and am thinking of selling it all. If you are interested contact me by e-mail and we can talk.

Comments: Sorry to hear of your passing...just getting started on my carbide lamps,tea pot, and safety lamps. I also collect railroad lanterns and lamps. Your collection is fantastic. I grew up on Cabin Creek Wv. Dad was a miner and my grandfathers were a miner and railroad brakeman.

Comments: I knew that my Dad was from WVA, and that his father was a miner. I recently got a copy of my birth certificate and Dad's birthplace was listed as Warriormine, WVa. I was curious.

Comments: I get lost, looking at all the artifacts. This is the best page for studying mine related items. Sure miss you Larry. The collecting world has lost one of the greatest. Can't help but think of you, everytime I work on my collection, and see all the lamps that were added thanks to Larry and Dottie. Praying for you Dotty, always.
