Letter: Memories of Adair County Comments re article 70055 Old Knifley If Dink or Dewey couldnt fix it you had a PROBLEM By Charles Phillip Goode Dewey and Della were my aunt and uncle as Della was Dad's (Charlie) sister. Most weekends in the 1950's would find us visiting them. I never had to hang around the old garage Dewey and Dink ran together before one or the other would pitch me a nickel for a coke followed by the other sneaking ma a candy bar. I got my first lesson in whittling from their father, who I only knew as Mr Holcomb, setting around the old shop. We also visited other aunts and uncles in Campbellsville or at "The Old Home Place" on Bull Run Road, where John and Nelly Goode lived with their 3 kids, Maryellen, Maxine and Lanis. Patty came along after the family moved to Campbellsville. We also visited family on my mother's side. Nancy Cox was my grandmother's sister on Mom's side. Johnny and Nance and my cousin Keith lived on the other side other side of US 70. Keith and I were about the same age so I got to spend many summers on their farm getting into heaven knows what with Keith. My folks would put me on a Gray Hound bus in Louisville, The Cox clan would pick me up In Campbellsville. Hard to believe today but I had no problem carrying my 22 rifle and a 410 shotgun on the bus. The time I spent with all these people are some of the best times of my life. Maybe that's one of the many reasons I married a small town girl from Bagdad in Shelby County, KY whose step father was a dairy and tobacco farmer. Wonderful times and wonderful memories.
