A daughter requests, please say her name



2022-04-27 - Adair County, KY - Photo from personal collection.
Stephanie Maclean, pictured at right, would like her Mom, the late Rosemary Bryant McLean, in the photo at left, to be remembered whenever names from her class are printed. Rosemary graduated from Adair County High School in 1982 and died in a car accident when Stephanie was only four months old. Whenever reunion notices are posted, she says she thinks of her Mother and would like to see her mentioned along with classmates.

Columbia Magazine has a 25-year history "linking the generations" - we're pleased to post this request and research further. Mike Watson assures us that the Adair County Public Library's new History and Genealogy Center will find Rosemary's obituary so it can be included in the archives and linked with Stephanie's keepsake picture. - LW

Letter: please mention my Mom's name in class of '82

Stephanie Maclean writes,
“To whom it may concern: Each time that Adair County High School class of 1982 is in the news, I never see my mother's name listed.

My mother, Rosemary Bryant McLean, graduated from ACHS in 1982. It would be nice to see her name amongst the classmates. She died when I was four months old in a car accident.”

Ad: Gather Round. It's Story Time

Sponsored information by Easton Bryant
Owner of North Century Pharmacy

In most cases, independent pharmacies grow organically from seeds sown in hard work and good will, offering loads of free perks while earning your patronage. In my case, it's an extremely rewarding venture, but that doesn't mean it's pretty. Most in the non-healthcare world have heard that our healthcare systems are broken and would be taken aback by a lesson of the inner workings and inner struggles. Here's the story:

You've followed your dreams and opened a small retail store in the community you live in - the community you love. You sell food, household goods, gifts, all sorts of everyday items and lots of unique offerings because your customers have requested them.
