Had a close family friend that was in the hole punching business since the '50s.
He had upward of twenty rigs (old school, with class. He wouldn't tell.) Drilling water wells
and holes for the coal mines in Pa, Md and WV Interesting to talk to, wish I had worked for
him as a kid. I know there was a lot of difference between the way he did things, and the
Hillbilly engineering that happens in the woods. Many worship water from springs, he was
afraid of it. Said a spring is either contaminated, or probably will be.
