The new scholarship program offers students an opportunity to creatively express their passion for organ, eye and tissue donation and inspire others to register as donors. When the Circuit Clerks introduced the organ donor program through dollar donations at driver's license, it was the first program of its kind in the United States. This pioneering effort has since inspired similar programs in over 30 states. Details are in the accompanying story. Comments | Permalink

Bride and Groom and Attendants All Wore Cave Suits.Comments | Permalink
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 2, [1901] - A wedding was solemnized in Mammoth Cave today, when W. C. Yates and Miss Carrie Caldwell, of Adair County, stood at the "Bridal altar," on which nature has devoted centuries, and made their vows.
The procession to the altar was headed by John D. Quinn, of Louisville, carrying a huge cave torch. The cave orchestra played "She Was Bred in Old Kentucky." There were 60 people present, all wearing cave suits and carrying the flickering oil lanterns.
