Favorite photos from the past: Travis & Rose Anna, earlier 2013-07-23 - Pellyton, KY - Photo from the collection of Travis Adams. A continuing romance: Travis Adams, was 16 years old when the photo on the left was taken. "I looked a lot like Elvis he quips." That photo was taken in 1951. It would be a few years before he met the Doris Day look alike on the right, Rose Anna Sapp. "She was the prettiest girl I ever saw, and people always told me she was the prettiest girl around. She had beautiful blond hair, the bluest eyes the Creator ever made," he said, and she became Mrs. Travis Adams. They are still together. The romance continues, at their retirement home on Sanders Ridge in Adair County, so close to Casey he's a 606-area code man. Adams is now working on details for the publication of his memoirs. The retired United Methodist Church Minister says that he's done more different things to make a living than anybody he knows. Those who know him can't wait to see the biography in print. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Home to Green County: The great dining room at Glenview 2013-07-23 - Glenview, Geen County, KY - Photo from the archives of Bro. Bill Davenport. The dining hall, or maybe it was called a restaurant are pictured above in an old photo from around 1900, stitting down to a big meal at the Glenview Campground. The campground had many buildings, including a main meeting center or tabernacle, a hotel, the restaurant or dining hall, and cabins for guests. - Bill Davenort Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Home to Green Co., KY: The Glenview Tabernacle ca 1900 2013-07-23 - Elam Perkins Road, Glenview, Green Co., KY - Photo from the collection of Bro. Bill Davenport. This is only photo I've been able to find showing the Tabernacle at the Glenview Meeting Grounds, which stood in the Glenview community where I grew up. I would think the photo would have been taken in the early 1900's. Finding historical details has been hard. Frank Perkins had one photo in his collection, but, other than that, I've found few details except what I remember from my childhood on the site. I could only guess at the size of the tabernacle. The pillars which provide the foundation for the tabernacle are still standing on the place, and they would give fairly exact dimensions. Someday I hope to revisit and record that information. Those stone pillars have something of a Stonehenge quality. Another slightly eery comment is that many people tell me the man in the black suit in the center - the one on the left - looks a lot like Bill Davenport! - BRO. BILL DAVENPORT.
