LETTER: Adair County will always be home to me!

Linda,

I have started reading the Columbia Magazine everyday in my office during lunch time, and ran across the comment section, so here is my comment: Adair County will always be home to me!

I am working in Frankfort, KY now and have been since graduating from LWC in May 2001. I obtained the job in July 2001 after graduation. I was one among many displaced workers from local factories who were seeking higher education and now I can say the famous state quote and really mean it! "Education Pays." However, moving from your home county doesn't keep you from missing and having your heart still there.
