Meet Riyanuddin Syed! Riyanuddin comes from India, and found that the most difficult part of moving to the U.S. was leaving his family behind. In spite of this, Riyanuddin found that getting his Master of Science and Technology Management at Lindsey Wilson was worth the change.

"LWC provides student centric courses," Riyanuddin says, also noting that the degree offers "a wide range of subjects that I can gain knowledge in-depth" which will help boost his career.

A favorite tradition from his home is Eid-ul-Fitr (Ramadan Mubarak), at which Riyanuddin loves to interact with others and "eat a variety of cuisines." A fun fact about Riyanuddin is that he doesn't take pictures on his phone, opting to live in the moment and to "keep every memory in [his] heart." We're so glad to have Riyanuddin as a part of our Blue Raider family!

Have you seen Butters?

Shannon writes, "Butters the cat decided to join us for church on Sunday and hitched a ride in the engine of my daughter's car. She made her getaway in the parking lot of 3Trees Church in the Pinewood Shopping Center. We've made multiple trips to look for her and have alerted the local businesses in the shopping center. If anyone happens upon Butters in Pinewood or the nearby residential areas, please call Bruce at Adair Co. Kwik Lube (270-380-1300) so we can wrangle her up and get her back home. She is slightly larger than in the photo."

RIDES: Comparing electric and regular Ford 150 trucks

2022-10-04 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com
Electrifying American vehicles is still in its infancy but it's growing by leaps and bounds. Dan Franklin, at left, and his son Nathaniel, talked about electric vehicles - including the two F150 fully electric trucks on the lot in Columbia - with Tom Waggener who shares his EV experiences over the past five years in the article linked to this picture. For the record, Moms Barbara Franklin and I are still hanging with our gas powered vehicles, and just beginning to consider hybrids, maybe, but we're a long way from the idea of a fully electric vehicle. We do trust our family, however, as Dan, Nathaniel and Tom agree that a sea change is happening in the auto industry and our world might as well get used to EVs for our future driving. - LW
