The three Smith twins

2020-10-09 - Adair County, KY - Photo from the collection of Annette Richards
Willard Smith, Jim Richards and Wayne Smith were pictured in the 1950s in their Columbia High School Baseball uniforms before the three became members of the first class to graduate from Adair County High School. On their first day at Western Kentucky University in 1954, they walked up the hill after visiting with Willard and Wayne's Uncle Burgess Grant.

As they approached Diddle Dorm, Coach Ed Diddle saw them and yelled, "Hey, you three Smith twins! Come over here." Coach Diddle, a native of Adair County, coached the WKU baseball team at that time. He then invited the three twins to stay in Diddle Dorm.
