Maury Lewis enjoys being here, regardless length of stay

Maury Lewis writes:
I am not from Adair County. I am from way "Off." Or you could call me a "Not" - not from around here. We could have a "KNOT Club" spelled with a K for not even from Kentucky. I have enjoyed being in Adair County going on six years and I don't know if I will stay here for another five years but I plan on enjoying myself while I am here.

I made the remark about the new babies being born somewhere else because I do agree with you Ed that something needs to be done to bring a facility here and doctors here so the parents don't have to jump in their cars and drive for an hour to get to the place where the baby is to be born.-Maury
