Helen Williams: The Valley in need of a voice If you think the Cane Valley Post Office is just a place to get and send mail, you're mistaken. It's so much more than that. It's a major part of what makes Cane Valley a model American community, where everybody does know your name, where a 10 year old boy doesn't find going to the post office a chore, and gets a thrill out of delivering his paper to Mr. Max. It's living history, as Helen Williams so beautifully writes in this article, hoping that before or after you read it, you'll take one minute to sign the petition to save it - and post offices at Gradyville and Knifley - from the USPS' hit list for closing. -CM Click to United States Postal Service: Keep Breeding, Cane Valley, Gradyville KY Post Offices OPEN! to sign the petition now. By Helen Williams "I'd like to get Mommy's and Uncle Harry's mail, please." my ten year old beams, busting through the storm door of the Cane Valley Post Office. "Why certainly, Mister Jayden." Miss Wanda answers back, offering him a piece of candy from the basket near the door. He graciously accepts it, and probably slips another piece into his pocket for later. "Does Mister Max have anything today?" he'll ask before jaunting on his way. Mr. Max Taylor has the tack shop between the Post Office and our home, and Jayden enjoys the chore of delivering to Mr. Max his paper, or whatever may be in his box that day.

Great Adair Countians: Thanks Almighty for President Henry Richard Raines writes: I know he must have gone thru very trying times during his tenure as president of Lindsey Wilson. I attended Lindsey fall of 1979 thru spring 1981, when it was a 2 year college, and I had David Cunagin for psychology and economics. I remember him talking numerous times about President Henry and how depressed he became during his tenure as president. Thank God he (and others) didn't throw in the towel and call it quits!! - Richard RainesComments re article 45920 A Great Adair Countian President VP Henry 2011-07-30 08:48:15 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

A Great Adair Countian: President V.P. Henry He almost single-handedly saved the college from closure; his determination, against overwhelming odds, kept the present day flagship of Adair County in Columbia, KY. By "Jim" Rev. V.P. Henry will forever be on my short list of Great Adair Countians.Rev. Henry came to Adair County about 1942 as the PE of the Columbia District and shortly thereafter, was named as President of Lindsey Wilson College. He served several of his twelve years at Lindsey without pay; guided the school with steady hand and unfaltering faith through the dark days of World War II when enrollment plummeted; and almost single-handedly saved the school from closure. While there are others who can more ably address his specific accomplishments, suffice it to say he was a gentleman, a man of honor, courage, and conviction. If for no other reason, his determination against overwhelming odds to keep Lindsey Wilson in Columbia qualifies him as a "Great Adair Countian" in my eyes. Without Rev. Henry's single-minded determination to keep Lindsey's doors open, thousands of people (including this writer) would have never had the opportunity for a college education and a better life. -Jim 2011-07-30 07:37:15 | Comments | Printable version
