Welcome to Our New Board Members
Regular, long-time readers of OVECs newsletter will
recognize the names of our four new board members, as we have previously
printed their words and news of their works.
Danny Cook is a retired emergency medical
technician and Boone County native who serves on OVECs Membership
Committee and is a volunteer leader of our cemetery preservation group.
Cook is working to protect several of his familys
cemeteries and his dedication to that work helped pass the 2010
legislation that enhances cemetery protection in West Virginia.
Crystal Good is a mom and a director at a
marketing company who is into quantum physics. She is an active member
of the Affrilachian Poets. (Winds of Change is proud to have been

culture, race and mountaintop removal.
Brandon Nida is from Salt Rock, WV. He is working
on his Doctorate in Archaeology at the University of California,
Berkeley. He is one of the leaders of Friends of Blair Mountain and a
strident friend of labor.

She is once again serving as the boards treasurer
she was OVECs first treasurer, more than two decades ago. Things have
changed a bit since then.
