Don Knifley writes (2011-12-18):
I think I see Remus Howard in front row near left middle; also Sam Kelsay and Edd Janes in the back area, and Herb Howell on right end area. - DON KNIFLEY
Pat S Goodwin writes (2011-12-17):
My Dad, J. C. Sexton is in the middle second row looks like he has sunglasses on. --Pat S Goodwin
Trilby Vance writes (2011-12-17):
Ed, my Dad, Finis Albert Harvey, is in the back row, second from the right. Thanks! Merry Christmas! --Trilby Vance
Martha Berry writes (2011-12-17):
Ed, I may be wrong but that looks like my Dad (LWC President V.P. Henry -CM) on the back row under the windshield. I'm not sure if the timing is right because he and Mom left Columbia for a couple of years about that time and Dad was in poor health, but it looks like him, as far as I can tell. If someone else identifies that man, then that is ok, because, as I said, I am not sure all the dots are connected for that to be Dad. --Martha Berry

Favorite old photo: Central Kentucky Buslines



2011-12-17 - 411 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY - Photo from Grissom-Martin Funeral Home collection.
Columbia, KY, once had three busline services, and one of them, ca 1955, was a locally owned service, Central Kentucky Buslines, owned by David Heskamp and Noah Flatt, we believe. Mr. Flatt drove the bus on a route to Louisville through Greensburg, Hodgenville, Elizabethtown, and Ft. Knox, whereas the Greyhound twice daily service to Louisville went through Campbellsville, Lebanon, Springfield, and Bardstown into the City. The third line was the Fuqua bus line, which traveled an East-West path along Kentucky 80, and went from Somerset to Hopkinsville, using a airport limousine style Chevrolet. The photo above, given to Grissom-Martin Funeral Home by Effie Heskamp, is of a charter trip by the Columbia Masonic Lodge aboard the Central Kentucky Bus, above. We don't have the identities of all the Masons, but we like to have them. I can spot my father, the late E.P. Waggener, on the back row under the right side of the first passenger window. Perhaps someone can furnish the list of all of the Masons, (or corrections to my memory about the buslines) and send them to ColumbiaMagazine.com using any Contact/Submit button or the Comments button with the photo. Clicking Readmore accesses the story with identifications as sent to CM. -ED WAGGENER

Meadow Hill Inn Placecard for Central Bus Lines kickoff dinner



2011-12-17 - Columbia, KY - Photo from Ann Curtis.
Central Kentucky Bus Lines was a business venture started by my father, David Heskamp, sometime in the 1950s. Here's a photo I found on a place card that was used at a kick-off dinner held at Meadow Hill Inn. The words on the side of the bus read "Louisville-Greensburg-Columbia." I wish I could provide more details, but that's about all I remember. -ANN HESKAMP CURTIS
