Old Rob 1972: The suspected rising of his offspring

Introduction By Mike Watson to a column on the suspected return of Old Rob, the Graverobber, and the distinguished panel of the top Varmintologist in America, with members from Columbia, Cane Valley, Coburg, Florida, and as far away as Jamestown, KY.
Ed, I do not wish to encroach upon the territory of my dear Cousin Brother Jim, but found this item in an "old" paper that may be a good entry for the renewed interest in varmintology that has surfaced on CM of late...-MIKE WATSON

From the celebrated Statesman, 17 August 1972

OLD ROB BELIEVED TO BE BACK IN ACTION
by the Honorable W.K. Neat:


Lock your doors and bolt the windows, Old Rob the grave robber is back making the headlines from the Florida Everglades to Kentucky's Herrington Lake to Southeast Missouri and then on to the state of Washington. The reports of sighting Old Rob and the descriptions of the monster, beasts, etc., that have been seen so closely match Old Rob, Adair County's fearsome beast, that we believe it to be the same varmint or one of his offspring.

Lindsey Water Tower looks smaller, nearer



2011-12-30 - Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.
Jimmy Harper notices it each time he drives north on Jamestown Street. The Lindsey Wilson Water Tower appears larger, top photo at the Jamestown Street and Hurt Street Intersection light than it does one-tenth of a mile closer at the light at Jamestown Street and Russell Road. Something here for the kiddies to learn about optical science, just to learn about why the moon appears huge some days, and some days tiny, the same distance away.

Ed, then I was a child my Dad, Leonard Hale, in Russell Springs drove a Standard Oil truck for an Ed Waggener.That was in the 40 and early 50. Ed had a business in Russell Springs where the Robo car wash is now. My dad would take me on delivery runs with him to Creelsboro. Ed would always give us a live turkey for Christmas. I think he had a son, Dan, I can't remember his Dad's name. He was a nice man, Just thought I would share this as I have wondered if you are a relative of his. Thanks - WANNA HALE WILSON
Thanks, Wanna Hale, for remembering that Russell County connection. The Ed Waggener you recall was, indeed, a very nice man.
