On this West Virginia Morning, in the runup to the midterm elections, it’s time for a new Us & Them dinner party. Host Trey Kay brings West Virginians together from a range of political perspectives to share some family dishes, as well as their thoughts. This time around, the conversation included some new topics as well as some of the familiar issues that divide us. We listen to an excerpt.  

Also, final preparations have been underway all week for National Save A Life Day.

And, a Preston County organization received recognition this week for its restoration and preservation of a nationally significant historic site.

Finally, Marshall University has been awarded a $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to establish a new scholarship program.
