Col. Frank Wolford: Soldier-Statesman of Adair Co., KY 2012-04-16 - Photo courtesy Vonnie Kolbenschlag. Col. Frank Lane Wolford, was a high profile character in the Civil War era. Elected to state and federal government positions after the war, Wolford tried to bring healing to the nation by supporting amnesty for soldiers who fought for the Confederacy. He died at home on Greensburg Street in Columbia, KY and his funeral was held in the Adair County courthouse because the crowd was too large for any church. He is buried in the Columbia City Cemetery.

Travel/Mystery: Adair Co., KY vanity plate in Bubba Gump's, FL 2012-04-16 - Photo by James Dillon. Small world Ed while on Vacation last week , look what I came across at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company, Daytona Beach, FL. There were a lot of old license plates from Kentucky but this one really stood out. It really is a small world. - JAMES DILLON. If you go: Bubba Gump's, Ocean Walk Shoppes, 250 N. Atlantic Avenue, Daytona Beach, Florida is 719 miles from Downtown Columbia, KY, via the old fashioned way, US 127 and 1-75. A more pleasant and shorter trip is via the Chattanooga Highway, KY 61 South and TN 52 & 53 and 111 to Chattanooga. But if you're just going to Bubba Gump's for a quick seafood lunch, Gatlinburg, TN, is much closer. They have a location there. And the mystery: Who owned the "Be Kind" Adair Co., KY, vanity plate? What year? And what has happened to the famous "1" plate so long in the F.X. and Annice Merkely family and all the other low number plates, from when the Commonwealth had it right, and started numbers in the Alpha County, Adair? Thanks, James Dillon, for bringing back those memories, and for the mysteries evoked. -EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Graham levitates over McAlpine locks at Louisville 2012-04-15 - Louisville, KY - Photo by Pen. It was all in the interest of science, on a Spring Break visit to the Louisville Science Museum. The bridge in the distance over the Ohio River is at the McAlpine Locks and Dam. And, of course, it's all a matter of perspective. (The attempt at levitation was, actually, somewhat more successful than Ron Obvious' epic feats in the Monty Python skit, The First Man To Jump The Channel/YouTube and his subsequent attempt to eat an entire cathedral, then tunneling his way to Java.) - Granddad, Ed Waggener.
