my name is Richard Fleming. i am 53 years old. i live in Virginia in whats known as The Devil's Triangle. it's a few minutes drive from Ky., W, Va. and Tn and all roads lead to no where. i have been married for nearly 34 years and we have 3 kids, 2 girls and 1 boy. i am a disabled Coal Miner since 1990. i operated a continuous miner for nearly 15 years. my wife and i love fishing and we fish mostly in Tn on Douglas Lake. we will on occasion fish our home lake Flannagan aka The Dead Sea....i mainly airbrush cranks and i hope to get into carving my own this winter......man this stuff is addictive.....i wake up in the middle of the night with color schemes and pattern's. i am willing to help anyone that needs my help. i know how you guys feel about takers, my wife and i are mod's an a fishing site and we call the "Lurker's" always taking and never giving. if any of you guys fish East Tn then come join our site. i hope its OK if i post this address.
