Pie safe piece valued, but paint keeps it off Antiques Road Show

Antiques Roadshow didn't turn Mom into one of the rich and famous but still accounted for some great fun. The finish turned out not to be "buttermilk green paint" the show thought from the photographs, but that's the breaks
With one photograph

By Linda Marcum Waggener

The popular PBS show advertised back in the winter that they were looking for a few large pieces for a show they would tape in Louisville on Saturday, July 28, 2007, to be aired sometime after the first of the year.

Letter: Jimmy Chapman story spurs ACHS 58 reunion activity

Joyce (Brenda Joyce Owen) Twyman, other class leaders at work planning already at work reunion for the Adair County High School Class of 1958, one of the institution's all time great ones

Hi, Eddie,

I just read the article Jim wrote about our community of Columbia. I will always be "from Adair County" also. As we get older it seems that we want to connect with our classmates and our hometown. It was such a wonderful place to grow up.

Our class of 1958 will have our Big 50 reunion coming up in 2008. As some of us start to plan this one we will stay in touch with you. It is our hope to be able to have it at Lindsey Wilson on Saturday August 30, 2008.
