Lindsey Wilson Bell still exists 2013-08-01 - Lindsey Wilson College, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ruth Smith, Lindsey Wilson photo. Garry Coomer is dusting off the Lindsey Wilson Bell which once rang from the Administration Building entrance. Many had believed it had been sold for salvage. In fact, it was removed about 40 years ago and put in storage. Garry Coomer was part of the crew who removed the bell. He's now holds the longest tenure of any employee on the campus. Mike Newton, Director of Plant Operations, said that discussions will be underway for the best way to make the bell a part of the campus again.

Historic Green Co., KY - Old Welcome to Greensburg Sign 2013-08-01 - Greensburg, KY - Photo from collection of Larry Smith. Larry Smith, Operations Manager for Shoreline Communications found this memorable old "Welcome to Greensburg in the Heart of KY." sign photo in his collection, believed to be from some 50 years ago. It stood on the Columbia/Edmonton side of the Green River Bridge. A notable feature in fixing the time is that the sponsoring organization was then known as "Junior Chamber of Commerce," a term those born after 1970 seldom associate with "Jaycees" today. I think the time would have been in the 1960s. - LARRY SMITH Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
