Kentucky Color: Late 1990s Arbor Day

Billy Joe writes, "I was invited to perform my poem, 'I heard a Tree', at Kentucky's Arbor Day celebration in the late nineties. It was quite an honor.

My oldest daughter, Shay Knifley, drew a masterful pen and ink of an urban forestry scene on the Lindsey Wilson campus which included the massive Rainwater Oak. I had the poem superimposed on her drawing. She and I presented a framed copy to First Lady Judi Patton (at left in photo) during the ceremony.

It hung in the state capitol in Frankfort for the remainder of Governor Patton's tenure, and I believe a copy still hangs in the Adair County Public Library."
