Great Wooded South IX: Going Out West, Part III Read on for the latest installment from Billy Joe's days in the Kentucky Division of Forestry. Click here for all the entries in the Great Wooded South series By Billy Joe Fudge There is a phrase used in the military rank and file that we folk on Western Fire Detail borrowed, "hurry up and wait". Whether we were sleeping outside on the ground, on a cot inside or outside, on a fire or on R & R, someone had the job of waking us up at 4:00 a.m. The second morning in Boise was no different. At 4:00 a.m. we were awakened. We had about twelve minutes to eat breakfast. Then we stood outside in the early morning, high desert chill for about two hours waiting for buses to come pick us up and take us to the airport. Next we were hurried and crammed into buses like many of us rode to school in the late fifties and sixties. With gears grinding, we sped to the airport.

LWU: Bennett and McKinnon making history in England By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University student Max Bennett '29 and physics professor Mark McKinnon are making history while spreading the school's name overseas. The two are the first members of the Lindsey Wilson community to participate in the university's new partnership at Harlaxton College in England. This spring semester, Bennett is taking a full slate of classes and McKinnon is teaching a trio of courses to students at Harlaxton College -- which is housed in a nearly 200-year-old Victorian manor in Grantham, England, that serves as the University of Evansville's study-abroad center. It's Bennett's first time studying abroad, and he's off to an adventurous start. After getting settled into his room in a carriage house at the college, Bennett visited London, which is about three hours south of Grantham, and also the city of Nottingham, which is about 25 miles to the west. "I've always wanted to travel, and coming over here you get that experience," said Bennett, who is a psychophysiology major on the dental school path from Hiseville, Kentucky. "It's just a great opportunity to see new sites and eat food you've never had before while working toward my academic goals."
