About: Kentucky Historical Society will dedicate Cabbage Patch historical marker

By Robert Stone
Alice Hegan Rice was married to Cale Young Rice whose brother Laban Lacy Rice was once a student and later the president of Cumberland University. He visited the school when I was a student and a teacher there. One of my most unusual experiences was hearing him speak in chapel when he was over a hundred years old (he lived to be 102). He had played baseball for Cumberland when that was a new collegiate sport and he had kept up his interest in it for all those years. He had been a student at Cumberland more than seventy years before I was a freshman there.
