Sending a hello to Herbert - Herb - Herbie! 2024-11-07 - Metcalfe County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.

In his North Main Street, Edmonton KY law office, you probably know him as Herb Sparks. If you've known him since Metcalfe County High School days, you probably call him Herbie, and know him as a lifetime trusted friend who always has a smile and a heart for listening.

Of particular interest is the fact that a sassafras tree wears three distinctive shapes of leaves: a slender oval, a thumbed 'mitten' shape, a three-lobed leaf.
