  • PRAISE BE CAPE BRETON

  • My father was a miner for 42 years, 38 of them underground his last 4 years on the surface at Phalen,lost his father in #18 colliery back in 1953.He saw many awful things over the years,he was part of a brotherhood like none other except maybe those that serve us proudly in the military.There was no limit to what these men would do for another miner when the need arose.God bless those miners that have left us as well as those that remain.
