My 91 yr old dad tells the tales of running 'shine to the mill workers when he was a lad of 11 and 12.

1993 I was visiting West Virginia. At a saloon one evening I struck up a conversation with the gent next to me. He confessed that he had just been released from penitentiary.

I asked, "What were you in for?"

He replied, "Running shine."

"How were you caught?"

"Ya know the plastic gallon milk jugs? Seems when you order a thousand at a time it sets off some kinda alert."
