Remembering high school classmate Danny Joe Perkins



2017-08-03 - Edmonton, KY - Photo from the 1966 Metcalfe County Hornets Nest High School Yearbook.


Seems like just yesterday Danny Joe Perkins and the rest of our 1966 Metcalfe County High School senior class wished each other good luck and went out into the world to seek our fortunes. Little did we know how quickly the years would fly by. He passed away just about a month after turning 69, Wednesday, August 2, 2017, at his home in Summer Shade. Danny Joe will be remembered as a truly good person, inside and out.

- Linda Marcum Waggener, classmate

Reader comments on ingesting hedge apple

sharing information only, he says, not making any claims
Will Lamkin writes:
I have a friend that has been ingesting small amounts for several months as a cancer preventative measure. I can say that he has had no ill side effects, and has reported positive changes in certain tests during his annual physical.

I also know another man that was diagnosed with terminal cancer over 5 years ago, he started taking hedge apple shortly after his diagnosis, and is still alive today... I am making no claims just sharing information. --Will Lamkin

Album - Moving the Monument to the new VFW headquarters

A story of historical proportions told in seven photo(s)
Album: Click on headline for the complete story in photo(s)
By Ed Waggener

It was a slow, tedious job, moving the VFW Monument to it's new home. Game plans changed during the day, as the movers made new discoveries along the way. At one point, the monument was to be moved as three pieces, then as one, than later, the final plan - back to three pieces, as though the monument itself was dictating how it would travel.

The journey to the new home, at 500 Green Hills Road, was smooth and uneventful . . . until the final moment.

Hedge Apples I: A product for farmers markets? for medicine?

By Ed Waggener

Hedge apples. Those sticky-skinned kids love to find and plunk, as our oldest little boy loved to do with the ones he'd find along St. Asaph's Creek behind the Harvey Helm Library in Stanford, KY, which some considered nuisances, especially the kind with over-manicured, uninteresting lawns, may have economic possibilities, at least scientists at Texas A & M think so in this 2006 article: Bois darc fruit may hold key to alzheimers

Today, there's additional interest in the heretofore thought to be inedible lowly hedge apple as as cancer fighting ingestible - eaten, if at all - after learning all the facts.
