About the Author:
CORA HAIRSTON
is retired from Logan General Hospital, as the radiology co-coordinator after
30 years of service. She has written numerous poems and 20 or more gospel
songs. Her love is singing, playing the piano, going to church, and preaching
life lessons to her grandchildren. Leading up to her retirement so that she
would have something to occupy her mind outside of home, she was encouraged by
her daughter Amanda, to return to school to become a “nail technician,” which
she did. This led her to be owner/operator of her own salon and eventually a
“ladies boutique.” Cora and her husband, Fred, are the proud parents of four
children, seven grandchildren, (one deceased) and four great-grandchildren.
They reside in Omar, West Virginia.
