Larry Hinton stands in the garage Feb. 12 at his home in Kemmerer. Hinton retired last year from the Kemmerer mine where he had worked since 1976, primarily as a field mechanic. Like other Westmoreland Coal retirees and their spouses, he and his wife are all but certain of losing their health benefits. Hinton planned to fill his retirement with hunting, fishing, scuba diving and travel, but said he may need to go back to work to afford health insurance.
