CHAPMANVILLE, W.Va. (AP) - Mingo County businessman James H. "Buck" Harless isn't slowing down with age.
In fact, the 91-year-old Harless drove himself all the way from Gilbert to Chapmanville last week to attend a Boy Scouts fund raiser.
Harless is still very active in business and as a philanthropist. He was honored during the James H. "Buck" Harless Friends of Scouting dinner at the Logan Country Club last week for his 75 years as a Boy Scout.
Harless also sat on the front row of the crowd at Monday's groundbreaking ceremony for the new TransGas coal-to-gas plant that was conducted just down from his business office in Gilbert.
Harless said he intends to keep going strong for as long as he's physically able. And, right now, he's very able, he said.
