CU former employee left gift of artwork behind By Jesse Harp, student news writer A while after the death of Jerry Graham, a former employee at Campbellsville University's physical plant, someone told his wife, Myna Graham, that they see his painting every day at lunch. Before this, Myna said that she did not even know a painting existed. Graham's coworkers told Myna that before her husband died, he would paint every day during his lunch break. Eventually, the painting developed into a 12 ft. by 5 ft. landscape, displaying a vast blue lake, rolling valleys and detailed wildlife. Myna said that her husband's painting was inspired entirely by his imagination, and that he did not have a background in art, except for some classes he took years ago. Graham did paint images on rocks, Myna said. He would include images of landscapes and animals, which were all very detailed. "He would say that he was not very good," Myna said. Myna and she and Graham's three sons, Jerry Keith Graham of Nicholasville, Ky., Michael Graham of Louisville, Ky. and Damon Graham of Campbellsville all came to the physical plant on Damon's birthday to have the mural cut out of the wall of the break room. Myna said that she planned to have it mounted on her living room wall. The drawing was painted on a wall in the old physical plant in a house at the corner of Matthew and Spring streets in Campbellsville. When the first Men's Village was built, the building was torn down, and the painting was moved to the current physical plant's location at 205 Laura Sue Humphress Drive, Campbellsville. "It's like taking a piece of him home," Myna said. Graham was 61 years old when he died Aug. 8, 2006. He retired from Houchens Market in Campbellsville and was also employed by Cox Interior. He served in the United States Army and was buried in Harden Cemetery with full military honors. Campbellsville University is a widely acclaimed Kentucky-based Christian university with more than 4,300 students offering over 80 programs of study including 19 master's degrees, six postgraduate areas and seven pre-professional programs. The university has off-campus centers in Louisville, Harrodsburg, Somerset and Hodgenville with instructional sites in Elizabethtown, Owensboro and Summersville and a full complement of online programs.
