Former West Virginia Governor Recuperating
WEST VIRGINIA....
U.S. Representative Shelley Moore Capito issued a statement Saturday that her father, former West Virginia Governor 87 year old Arch Moore, was back in Glen Dale, resting and continuing his recuperation after being admitted to the hospital earlier this month for an undisclosed illness. Doctors evaluated Moore and ran tests, but officials did not provide other details. Moore was in Congress before serving three terms as governor between the late 1960s and the late 1980s. But he pleaded guilty to five corruption-related felonies in 1990 and spent 33 months in federal confinement and lost his license to practice law.
