Letter: Richard Lee Walker helped bring water to county

By Billy Joe Fudge

We can all be thankful for the foresight and dogged determination of my friend, Richard Lee Walker. As Adair County Judge Executive for two terms beginning in 1986 he used his influence in the Democratic Party and Kentucky State Government to lay mile after mile of waterline in all parts of the county.

Not only did he call in favors from the party and state, he asked for help from me and I'm sure from many others. He called me up and said he wanted to lay waterline from my Dad's house on 768 out Harvey's Ridge to HWY 704. As a Forest Ranger, I got permission from my boss and a couple weeks later I had the required number of signatures and work began in a very short period of time.
