Coalwood, WV - The Rocket Boys - Jim Hickam
  Jim Hickam, Homer's brother, is a 1963 graduate of Virginia Tech and is a highly successful high school football coach. He is also a retired award-winning body builder. He is married to Betty Jane Laphew, one of those pretty Coalwood girls. Jim and Betty Jane have a daughter, Cheyanne, who has provided them with two grandsons, one of whom may someday be a football player, and the other perhaps a writer (or an engineer).
