Epicurean Kentuckian: Shannon Sexton updates on Black Stallion Shannon Sexton writes: I spoke with Judge Stephens this afternoon in regards to the Black Stallion opening. Furniture and fixtures are going in place soon. The restaurant owners hope to open in a couple weeks as long as the finishing touches stay on schedule. The sister restaurant by the same name in Monticello does have a salad bar and it's excellent. I assume this one will be no different but have not had the chance to ask the owners directly. --Shannon SextonComments re article 97582 Epicurean Kentuckian Questions on Black Stallion Steakhouse 2018-05-29 16:06:38 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Food

Joyce Coomer guesses JIM is from Pellyton area Joyce M. Coomer writes: Who is JIM? He has to be from Pellyton area or he wouldn't've known about Garnett. Letho (Garnett's mother) was one of Momma's best friends.Thanks, Joyce Coomer Good points. I think you are right about the Pellyton Correspondents. Great ones. Maybe JIM or his twin history cousin, Mike Watson, or Ann Curtis would know. They seem to be able to keep up with such things better than I. Speaking for them, and me, would love to share a copy of the letter from S1C Charles Austin Garnett, and perhaps you could find a photo of Adair County hero. And, for those who might have missed it, here's a link to his story by JIM: Freedom isn't free: In memory of S1c Charles Austin Garnett (1924-1943).

Memorial Day Should Be Every Day - Poem by Tommy Melson By Tommy Melson As the sun rises, on this freedom filled day . . . The tears roll from my eyes because I know there was a sacrifice paid . . . Paid for by men and women, with blood, sweat, tears and some the sanctity of their minds . . . So we can live without fear from the insensitive and the unkind... Memorial Day should be everyday and we should hold these people high . . . With love, help, and understanding for those here, and remembrance for those souls that roam the sky . . . Happy Memorial Day forever, for our peace is from your sacrifice. . . .- Tommy Melson May 28, 2018 2018-05-29 10:46:45 | Comments | Printable version
