WWII Veteran Sargent Willie Bearl Graybeal turned 100 years old this year. He is pictured with his nephew, Chris Graybeal of Campbellsville, at a recent visit in Corbin. Chris said his uncle Willie spoke clearly of memories of World War II. One memory that stood out brought to mind the difference in the timing of communications between WWII days and those writing from the battlefield now. The Sergent said it could be up to a month and a half before a letter could reach home back then, as opposed to today with electronic communications, happening in mere seconds. We thank Sgt. Graybeal and all who have served this country in U.S. history. Comments | Permalink

Ice began to fall as predicted Monday evening

The trip around the square after the Adair County Genealogical Society Christmas gathering was a little icy with sleet having just begun. Any precipitation, as Mike Watson had noted in his early meeting reminder, "[a trace to 74 inches], was not slated to begin until later tonight," but some of us who lingered and visited indeed did leave "later tonight."
