Kenneth Crawford, Corbin, Kentucky. Winning Father: Kenneth Crawford gave up his education and quit school to work in the coal mines at the age of 9, to help provide for his parents and 3 younger brothers. In later years this cost him his life, a victim of Black Lung Disease. He spent years in Alaska, where he built houses in subzero temperatures. At times the skin of his hands would be left behind on the heavy ax he held cutting into frozen trees to help populate the never ending territory. He even helped his father run moonshine as an industrious teenager in the great mountains of Appalachia. He provided food for his loving wife and 4 small children,by hunting and fishing and never complaining of all of the time he spent doing it. There are great stories to share with the world about this man who is no longer with us. He was an exceptional man and everyone needs to hear what an inspirational life he led. By TK Hash
