Letter: Memories of Damron Creek Road

Melissa sent this letter of an adventurous visit back home after reading
DAY TRIP: wandering Patty Ridge Road in Russell County KY

By Melissa Gail Craigmiles

I loved your story about Patty Ridge. I grew up on Damron Creek Road at Webbs Crossroads. I was born in Louisville KY, and we live in Clarksville, IN now, but I lived some of my life in Louisville's south end and in Russell Springs, KY at Webb Crossroads at my parents 79 acre farm on Damron Creek.

I have been married to James 12 years, and he is from Memphis, TN, and he had never really been to Russell Springs ever before he met me. In early February, 2015, my husband took me to my parent's gravesite at Mt Calvary Church Cemetery on Damron Creek Road, and then we went past our old home of my parents at the top of Damron Creek Hill.

We had an old Altima, it was blue, a 1995, and I said, "Honey let's give our old Altima a run over Damron Creek."

It had just rained heavily that week, and James said, "Should we drive this old car over Damron Creek," which is usually about ankle deep.

Letter: Bird feeding question

Larry Clark writes:
I Believe that is a Carolina wren on the left. One of my favorite songbirds. Do you feed them mealworms? --Larry
Comments re Photo 83001: Birds of Kentucky: integration at food time

Larry, thanks for your question. I knew the three Cardinals for sure, but none of the other three well enough to name them. The small royal blue bird is stunning, at first I thought of Blue Jay but this is a solid, rich royal color. I've never fed the birds mealworms - is that something you do? These were happily munching their way to the end of the sunflower meal.

Letter: Sounds like politics these days

Ann Pearson writes:
So while the taxpayers struggle with a huge budget the Gov.'s friend makes almost half a million dollars a year.

Our teachers get paid so little, classrooms are short the supplies they need and teachers pay for much out of their own pockets and in the mean time this guy makes off with more than any one doing his job ever made. Sounds like politics these days. --Ann
