Gary Crawford congratulated by Supt. Reed 2013-03-28 - 104 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Gary Crawford of Tap's Diner left was congratulated by Adair County Superintendent Alan W. Reed after the superintendent learned of Crawford's achievement - he has successfully completed the battery of GED tests to earn a high school diploma. He did it on the first try, and credits LeAnna Bennett and the Somerset Community College Adult Learning Center at Lindsey Wilson College. for helping him with the areas for which he needed a little extra tutoring before attempting the exams. The great thing, he said, was that they could assess his chance in each area, and let him go at his own speed. Though the GED program was once a part of the Adair County School District's responsibility, Superintendent Reed said he could not be happier than he is with the program under SCC's management and with Lindsey Wilson College for hosting the Adult Learning Center. Crawford said that it was a great experience, one he'd hope other Adair Countians would attempt.

. . . but Hailey's work is never done 2013-03-28 - Photo family photo. Great Mema Geniece Leftwich Marcum said the first thing that came to mind, when she saw this photo was "Man's work is from sun to sun, but Hailey's work is never done." However, Hailey is simply emulating the disciplined work ethic of her paternal side - E.P., Ed, E.P./Pen, Great Uncle Ralph, Uncle Tom and the fine example of the Brothers Grevan - just doing the arduous labor so everyone can enjoy a great Easter in show-off duds, giving no thought to any divisive gender issues. It's the German in her, I guess. - Paternal Granddad, ED. (Hailey is also the granddaughter of Plain Mema, Linda Waggener, Columbia, KY) Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
