On CM going viral, at least as far as Louisville 2016-03-13 - Bull Run Creek - Photo by Linda Waggener. Ed Waggener, at right, and I knew our children would make major contributions in life. Grandchildren have validated that. We didn't know specifically in 1972 at this Wild Sweet William flower picking time with first child Pen that computers would come along, that he would master Pac-Man, bond with Mac computers and software, and with his Dad and the new digital camera, create photo art that would someday make the family website columbiamagazine.com go viral -- at least as far as Louisville. We've had fun this week after Doyle Lloyd shared news of that photo art in a feature on WDRB 41 in which Dalton Main's feature, "No, google, giant cats aren't attacking Columbia" showcased a random google map documentation photo that used the very art the guys created and posted over a decade ago. Click here to see the photo art google used. -- Linda Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Friends and family greet each other in Edmonton 2016-03-13 - Metcalfe County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Louise Firkins, second from left, and Geniece Marcum, left, enjoyed running into each other at lunch Saturday in Edmonton and sharing fun memories of their work years as toll collectors on the LBN/Cumberland Parkway before tolls were taken off. There are so many stories from that experience. With them are Louise's son Sammy in the red shirt with his two boys, Landon, the seven-year-old playing his game, and Dakota, the two-year-old in his dad's arms, and friend Brian Pack at right. Louise is now events coordinator at Bowling Park in Edmonton. She shared a very special event coming up at there in May with the arrival of the traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. Dates and times are available in the accompanying article. Click Read More below for details. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

A brief history of the Jeffries Building in very limited edition 2016-03-13 - Ohio - Photo Ed Waggener. A booklet packed with nuggets of information has just been published. Linda and I were honored and were grateful to receive a copy February 24, 2016, and the author, Jim Garner said that only a handful had been printed. Copies were sent to Lindsey Wilson College, the new owner of the building which is now in early stages of restoration. One gem to be cleaned is the coincidence that the Jeffries Building opened in 1903 - the same year, the author notes, parenthetically "Another ambitious undertaking slated for construction . . . was 'The Methodist Training School, a brick, to cost $10,000.'" That's just one of the gems in the fact packed eight pages in a volume we'll treasure. If the book ever goes on sale, it will likely be through Watson Publications, Mike and Renae Watson's company, which handles numerous other books by this writer. In the introduction there is a note that an earlier version was printed July 23, 2013 as A brief history of the Jeffries Building - a much briefer version, but it gives a glimpse of what's in the new version. - EW.

Farm scene near Russell Creek in Green Co., KY 2016-03-13 - Green County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Graying, naturally weathered farmstead barns and houses are fading too fast from the South Central Kentucky scene. It was a pleasant surprise to find these along Hancock Cemetery Road in Green County, just a short distance from the Adair County line.
