Introduction

Looking forward to sharing interest and meeting new people.

I came from a coal mining back ground of hard working people.

Roger it is a pleasure to meet you.

My name is Milo and I work with CoTradeCo generally managing content on the site and posting my own “news” stories every now and again.

I must say, that image of coal mining is beyond hard work! That kind of commitment to a job is to be commended.

Your coal mining sites remind me of presentations one might see at a museum or historical site. There is a lot of information you have put together and I look forward to going through it all when I get more time.

For the people who don’t always look at everyone’s spot I’m including a link to the Coal Mining sites here:

And for a retired guy you are sure busy with web design and it was unclear if you were involved with or owner in the car part and plumbing sites.

Anyway, I would love to know how you found us. If there is ever anything you need, feel free to ask here at CoTradeCo. Our community sites are still very new and we appreciate your contribution.

Take care Roger.

Milo, It is also a pleasure meeting you. Thank you for posting my web sites and your kind words.I am looking forward to be a part of this community.

A very helpful person (traderzoe) directed me to CoTradeCo.

Yes, I keep myself busy doing the web sites. My family, (daughters and son in laws) own the Napa Auto Parts and Heating Cooling Plumbing businesses. I was elected to do their web sites.

Thanks for the reply. I hope I can contribute to this blog and make new friends.

Regards, Roger

Welcome Roger! I have saved to my favorites both of your websites listed above.My Grandfather was a coal miner in Pennsylvania and I have always wanted to learn more about the feild. Your sites are very informative and insightful. Thank you!

 
Roger Philpot

Hi Stacy, Thank you for the welcome. Pennsylvania is certainly a coal producing state. My father was a coal miner in Kentucky. Coal mining as you probably know is a dangerous occupation and certainly comes under the category of hard working folk. Thank you for your kind words.

Roger I am glad you found my input useful, and equally pleased to see you here at CoTradeCo.

Sorry it took me a couple of days to say hello, but we have been swamped with projects. I look forward to chatting with you more soon.

About this community

JOIN the Hardworking Folk community
Real people; getting the job done

A place for everybody who works in the trenches maintaining and engineering modern society and keep our world running. Discuss work, share stories, and relate.

Most of the time we are invisible, but we keep the world running. You see our trucks driving down the freeway full of cargo, on the way to repair the infrastructure of civilization, fixing those roads, building homes, offices, retail outlets, maintaining and improving those same buildings. We get power, water, and telecommunications to you. You call us when something breaks.

If the above describes you, welcome. You have found a group of people who like talking shop. Share your experiences, your frustrations, your successes, and even your failures. Help fellow hardworking folk out if they have questions or need advice.

And we all want to see pictures of your job sites, the facility you maintain, and all the interesting stuff you see from our unique vantage points. So post some pictures and tell us about them.

If not don’t hesitate to post a story with questions and comments. While we tend to be invisible and working sometimes thankless jobs, we are good hardworking people who would be happy to talk with you.
