Feedback: Larry Smith story brought back memories

To the editor, CM

My grandsons, Hunter and Kodie Gadberry, and I enjoyed this story and picture very much.

A special thank you goes out to Larry Smith of WHVE 92.7 and your Staff for printing this.

I was a little girl when Green River Lake was being constructed. My parents would take me and my two sisters to this area often.

It's so nice to know that we've got an awesome lake in our back yardthat so many other county don't have. Wow! What a great place to live and call home.

Green River Lakewowed me since it's construction the 1960s.
