Hannah Coyt receives top award from KCA By Duane Bonifer Hannah Coyt '98 knew she was going to receive the Kentucky Counseling Association's most prestigious award, but that still didn't make it any easier to hold back her emotions. "I cried when I received the call informing me I had received the award, and I cried when they announced my name," said Coyt, who is associate dean in the Lindsey Wilson School of Professional Counseling. "It's an award I never expected to get." Coyt received the KCA's Dr. Bill Braden Award on Nov. 7 at the end of the Kentucky Counseling Association's annual three-day meeting, held in Louisville. The state branch of the American Counseling Association, the KCA is more than 40 years old and is composed of more than 1,200 counseling professionals who work in educational, health care, residential, private practice, community agency, government, business and industry settings. The KCA's highest honor, the Dr. Bill Braden Award is given annually to a counseling professional who has made the greatest contribution to guidance and counseling in Kentucky through professional leadership, service and advocacy.

A Thank You to Our Vets By Narda Tate Yes, it is Veteran's Day. My Dad was a vet. My father-in-law was a vet. My son and daughter-in-law are vets. Two of my brothers-in-law are vets. I am surrounded by the might and memories of the military. Even though Steve and I have never formally served, we did support the military in Iraq. We were at Camp Balad and it was a unique experience. Steve did cost-estimating for proposed projects. For instance, if they wanted to bring in 250 more soldiers, what would be the cost of the facilities, the electrical wiring, the number of generators needed and so on. I worked in the Payroll Department, not for paying the soldiers, but for paying the many contractors who supplied logistical and practical support for them. There were people from all over the world who worked in various and sundry positions. We experienced our first sand storms in Iraq. The air would start turning an eerie orange color and within an hour you couldn't see your hand in front of your face and breathing was almost impossible. And this would be the precise time that mortars would be shot into the base because our helicopters could not fly in the storms to retaliate against the enemy. So there we would be, stuck outside in the bunkers, no water, no bathroom, no air to breathe and bombs exploding not too far away. But this is small potatoes compared to what my father and many other soldiers faced in active combat. My dad was stationed in the South Pacific arena and for years, never spoke about the war, but if a car backfired on our street, I have seen him hit the floor. There were times at night when I could sense him walking quietly through the house, checking to see that all was secure. Then one day, after I had been married for about 25 years, he called me on the phone and all the memories and horrors of the Philippines and New Guinea came pouring out and he talked and talked and talked. I listened. How could anyone ever expect our young men to come back home and be 'normal'? War is hell. Pure and simple. My heart is heavy knowing just a small portion of what many soldiers have endured. My heart is also full of thanksgiving and gratitude for all that our vets have accomplished and the freedoms that they have ensured for us. I salute every one of you have served or have supported our military in any way. Thank you. 2026-11-11 17:41:27 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Veterans and Veterans Day
Letter: Veterans Day By Rick Rowe Unfortunately many of our veterans of WW2, Korea, and Vietnam have passed. However, we will not and must not forget their sacrifices. We honor them yearly and not just on Veterans Day. We also must not forget the sacrifices of those who served in Afghanistan, Iraq, and numerous other locations (some never known). We honor those who returned home and those lost. We also remember and honor those still serving. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to present and past service members while also remembering their family members who also sacrificed. Again, THANK YOU to all! -Ricky, Judy, Johnna and Chris in memory of our own heroes, Marshall and Bill 2026-11-11 17:38:53 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Veterans and Veterans Day
