Successful West Virginians

Have you ever noticed that in the story of most successful West Virginians, the phrased "moved away from West Virginia" appears? I've noticed this well before now, but a called just mentioned it on a local radio show to remind me. Homer Hickam of October Sky/Rocket Boys fame... moved away. Mary Lou Retton... moved away. Chuck Yeager... moved away.
I could go on, but I think you get my drift.
