Columbia Magazine continues Linking the Generations

One of the main missions since the mid-90s on ColumbiaMagazine.com is "Linking the Generations" so the note from Leon Lewis, owner of Jeffries Hardware for 30 years now, asking to be connected with the writer of what he called "the best history" he'd seen, was a priority this week. Leon's goal is to work with the researcher JIM to bring the history from Rollin Pyles to the present day in its new location. The historic Jeffries Hardware building is now owned by Lindsey Wilson College and rumors have it that they are working toward the possibility of placing LWC arts and communications there, using the wide open third floor for performances. The outside has been renovated with touches of LWC Blue Raider blue. The inside of the building is in development stages. Clicking 'read more,' or on the headline, takes you to JIM's story.

Tammy writes, "My shelter cat Toby is missing or possibly picked up at the shelter - he was left outside last night, he is used to being out side and inside we always put him up at night in his cage, he has learnt when closing time is and he hides. This morning he did not show up for breakfast. His name is Toby, he has a blue bow tie collar on, he belongs to the shelter, he is part of the family. If anyone sees him or knows his whereabouts please call or message the shelter at 270-385-9655." Comments | Permalink Dick Fitzpatrick shares tribute to his Linda

Dick Fitzpatrick asked that we share this wonderful tribute in honor of his beloved wife Linda Sue Heath Fitzpatrick which was placed in her family's newspaper in Hart County where she grew up. It remembers "our precious ladies from Bonnieville" featuring Linda and best friend Bonita Highbaugh from Hart County High School days. Linda and Dick met at Western Kentucky University, married there, and his work would lead them to Adair County. They celebrated 45 years of marriage surrounded by family, church family and friends last March at their Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Columbia. Comments | Permalink Older Photos
