LETTERS and FEEDBACK

Ed:

My name is Bobby Loy & I returned to Columbia December 2006.

Do you have contact information for Lance Bean??

We were good friends & I would like to get in touch with him.

s/Bobby Loy

Thanks. Good to hear from you. We'll try to make the connection for you. Or, perhaps you'd send your email to us and we'll send it on to him or vice versa. We're hoping Lance Bean will be the official ColumbiaMagazine.com bureau chief for East Africa. I spent more time studying his National Geographic Magazine quality photographs last night than I did watching the Travel Channel. Weren't they great? -ED WAGGENER

Adair/Taylor race getting more interesting: Asa James Swan, Lindsey Wilson College history professor and Campbellsville resident, expected to file today with Rep. Mobley's blessing.

No one has filed against Vernie, Jody. Jeff Hoover has not yet filed. Photo. Asa Swan. with this story
By Ed Waggener

There have been no new filings in the 51st House District since Russell Montgomery, Campbellsville Republican Russell Montgomery, and Adair County native, filed for the office. But expect another today. Asa James Swan, Lindsey Wilson history instructor, who is a resident of Campbellsville, is expected to file today.

If he does, he is likely to get the blessing of current State Representative Russ Mobley, and possibly several other top Taylor and Adair County supporters, political and/or otherwise. Rep. Mobley is expected to announce his retirement in concert with an Asa James Swan announcement, Taylor County sources say.

Swan is a the oldest child of Dr. Terry and Cinda Swan, also Lindsey Wilson professors.
