Jim Cramer, Mad Money, Kanawha County Mentioned

I was watching Jim Cramer, "Mad Money" last night. A caller from West Virginia called in with a question
During the lightning round, "Bouya Jim." Anyway, when the caller identified herself as from West Virginia,
Jim immediately knew that John Chambers was from West Virginia.

For those of you who don't know John Chambers, John Chambers is President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Cisco Systems,
the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet.

In fact John Chambers was the speaker for the 2004 Charleston Area Alliance Annual Celebration held at the Clay Center.

So back to Mad Money, Jim Cramer, says, "yeah I know West Virginia, John Chambers grew up there."

Then he says, "Kanawha County is in West Virginia, I'm a big fan of Kanawha County."

Turns out the caller into Mad Money was also from Kanawha County and told Jim so live on the air.

Jim Cramer, if you are reading this, we hope to see you back here in West Virginia again soon.

Call us; we'd love to have you as our next annual celebration speaker.

Cramer is the man. Good to see the West Virginia connection made... somehow.
