Letter: hoping to contact Wyman Rice

Looking to contact family friend
I am looking to contact Wyman Rice. I saw the article about his work on Columbia Magazine:

Can anyone help me get in contact with him? He was a family friend many years ago and I'd like to renew the acquaintance.

Thank you,

Phillip Coffey -- Middling

Middling -- By Phillip Coffey
Started greasing his hair with a slab of streaked, uncooked middling
Upwards to twice a week, every Saturday-way back in the late 50(s).
It was a grade below seasoned bacon, but he didn't know such things.
The only real faithful friend was a toothless ole hound that always followed.

Somehow, he and his only true friend walked daily right through it all
The Civil unrest, assassinations, Vietnam conflict that followed in the 60(s).
Just after dusk he would rob hens - serve everybody in sight, eggs for Breakfast.
Finally ran of meat-true friend ran off with a hippie to San Francisco in embattled 70s.

Happy New Year - a high drama start to 2022! It was up to 85 degrees here earlier! Our power has been out for over two hours. Hope crews are safe and also that power is restored soon.
Power was restored around bedtime after a rather incredible transition into this New Year.

CFR: Multiple swift water rescues on Coburg Road

By Chris Taylor, Chief
Campbellsville Fire-Rescue

Campbellsville Fire-Rescue responded to Coburg Road (Taylor, Adair and Green Area) on Saturday, January 1, 2022, to a call received at 5:07amET. CFR was on scene at 5:22ET, and left the scene at 9:39ET.

Campbellsville Fire-Rescue was dispatched to a report of a vehicle that was stuck in flood water somewhere on Coburg Road possibly in Taylor County. While en route to the scene the exact location could not be established. Green County Rescue was requested to respond to Green County side of Coburg Road to attempt to locate. When arriving in the area the rescue crews encountered heavily flooded roadways and had to deploy resources via Squad 4 (High Water Vehicle) and on foot. One crew deployed on foot near the Woodland Trail area of Green County heading back to Taylor County.

About 1 mile from the staging area the first rescue crew encountered a red passenger car with a female occupant trapped in the vehicle with rising flood waters. Rescuers deployed a self bailing raft and rescued the individual. This is when it was discovered that this was not the original caller and Green County Rescue units discovered another vehicle with 3 occupants on the roof and one female that was holding on to a tree in flood waters.
