Lee Murphy says KY 49 best scenery in Kentucky Throws out challenging declaration that there is not a better highway to drive on than highway KY 49. With scientific proof that we generally give higher positives to the last place seen and not ever being willing to be controversial, confrontational or in in way willing to steer things up, we won't argue with Lee Murphy. But we'll allow others, if rules of Civil Discourse are maintained to do so. We would entertain notions from persons advocating KY 704, Wilson Creek Road, KY 88; KY 70 in Casey, Taylor, Green and ol' Met, KY 90, or Crocus to Creelsboro, or KY 768 or something other such. Viewers of CM will demand, of course, narratives of near poetry and photographic proof, same as a BBC audiences would. -EW Lee Murphy writes: As I resident of Kentucky 49 I am almost certain the swinging bridge in the picture is actually in Marion County. The stream is Big South Fork whose waters from Rush Branch flow into. I am unsure as to the owner of the property on which the bridge is located, but I was thinking the owners were an Evans family. There is not a better highway in Kentucky to drive on than Highway 49. --Lee MurphyThanks! Lee Murphy.

A big list of Birthdays for today: February 26, 2012 February 26, 2012 was a good day to be born, but was there any weddings in the 7-County area on this date? At 5:33amCT, Sunday, February 26, 2012, there were 21 Birthdays and In Memory Birthdays listed for today on CM. For some unknown reason, there are no anniversaries listed for today. Maybe February 26 is just not a great day to be married.

Chuck Hinman: IJMA No. 339 : New Hope School Chuck Hinman, It's Just Me Again No. 339: New Hope School A Column Perfect for 2012 when the whole of the Education Industry is under intense scrutiny: "This column seems appropriate with all the talk about education this year. Both Chuck's son Paul and his friend Alsie Mae Stapleton have sent me some "new to us" stories. It's sad to know there will never be another phone call from him, but it is hard to miss him when we have all these wonderful stories." Robert Stone The next earlier Chuck Hinman story is Chuck Hinman: IJMA No. 156, The Bruensbach School By Chuck Hinman My elementary school education, all eight years (from 1927 to 1935), was received at New Hope School in Gage County, Nebraska. The school grounds were carved out of the Alfred Dillow farmstead on the road between Liberty and Wymore, Nebraska. The school district was consolidated with the Liberty School district in the 1960s and the building dismantled and the grounds became part of the Dillow farm carrying with it wonderful memories of those of us who spent some memorable days there. I have the distinction of getting spanked on my first day of school. Miss (Marie) Mack was the teacher.
