Seeing Kentucky on the Lincoln Memorial

Larry writes, "If you look closely, you will see Kentucky in the top right corner of the Lincoln Memorial. Each state name is on the building except Alaska and Hawaii."
Above the colonnade, inscribed on the frieze, are the names of the 36 states in the Union at the time of Lincoln's death and the dates in which they entered the Union. Above this on the attic frieze are inscribed the names of the 48 states present at the time of the Memorial's dedication in May 1922.
