Koenig-Roach vows exchanged at Columbia church of Christ

Trisha Dawn Koenig and Aaron Nicholas Roach were united in marriage Saturday, December 27, 2008, at Columbia church of Christ.

The groom's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Dean Roach of Columbia.

The bride's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Allen Owens of Columbia and Mr. Bennie Koenig of Danville, KY.

It was a beautiful wedding with only one hiccup when the minister, Dean Roach, forgot Aaron's name and called him Adam.

There was a reception afterwards in the church basement.

The couple will honeymoon in Nashville,TN. -ALLEN OWENS

Letter: Appreciates lower tuition offer at university

About: CU offers lower tuition to those who have lost jobsTo ColumbiaMagazine.com

CU, I am so proud of you. With the economy in a downward spiral it inspires me that CU is offering this aid for their students. I salute your generosity.

We have some friends attending CU and also Lindsey Wilson College. Maybe Lindsey Wilson will be able to offer some help to their students as well. I realize CU is a university and Lindsey is a private college, but it would certainly be helpful if they too could offer some aid to students here as well.

More students would come if they could afford the tuition. Lindsey is an excellent college.
