My Dear Fellow Readers:

I encourage everyone to come out and see my lecture on August 16th, at the Memorial Auditorium on James Guthrie. If you have never heard of James Guthrie, you should as a Louisvillian. He is literally Mr. Louisville. He was the founder and president of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. He helped build the Jefferson County Courthouse, the School for the Blind, founder of the University of Louisville, founded out first fire department. The list goes on and on. I learned a lot myself. There will be a full powerpoint presentation to follow the lecture.
