A Very Sad Report From Kentucky...





The venerable gentleman on the left, a life long resident of the Lexington area, has passed away.

The senior family member, he was an encyclopedia of information on all things to do with the area.
He had many stories: in the 1930's his school bus took him right past the paddock of the retired Man O' War--iconic race horse--twice a day. Many other gems of history and humor.

Cousin David was just shy of 91, I believe.

In the top photo, we see him along with a more distance cousin, expert in family history; they compared notes and memories. It was a bright and beautiful late summer day, as he would love.

At the time, he had completed recovery from a scary farm accident which would have killed many others. But he survived.

In the bottom photo, they explored an 1800's (some say 1700's for parts) log barn on the homeplace.

Along with all that, David was a dear, beloved man. Rest in Peace Love.
