New memoir by Richard Hovious, Knifley native The late Richard Hovious's memoir, Kentucky's Fugitive Rocket Scientist Tells All!, is available for free download through MidnightPST on December 1, 2020, as part of the launch offer: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P3QWWYX By Fernando Montero Hello, Greetings from Spain. I am writing to let you know about a new book written by a Knifley native. Some years ago I collaborated with Mr. Richard Hovious, who then had a rough draft of his autobiographical memoir. At the time, he mentioned corresponding with Ed Waggener of Columbia Magazine, and how much he had enjoyed seeing his submissions there, especially the "Where Are They Now?" feature you posted. I remember he wanted to send a release to Mr. Waggener when the book was published, but I infer from your web site that he passed away. Mr. Hovious also passed away, last year, and unfortunately I had somewhat lost touch with him by then, but I know he would be very happy that his memoir is finally being read, especially at his home place. In old age he was very nostalgic for the Knifley of his boyhood and the book includes many, many reminiscences of Knifley people and anecdotes involving them, and himself, during the 1930s and 1940s, both in the first part of the text and in an appendix at the end. Yours Sincerely, Fernando Montero Madrid, Spain This story was posted on 2020-12-01 05:40:24
