ROY ROGERS AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO CIRCA 1948

I JUST GOT IN THIS PHOTO OF ROY ROGERS THAT I WON ON E-BAY. IT IS HAND SIGNED "TO MIKE, MANY HAPPY TRAILS, ROY ROGERS". IT IS A PROMO PHOTO FROM THE 1948 MOVIE "EYES OF TEXAS" WITH LYNNE ROBERTS, ANDY DEVINE, NANA BRYANT AND THE SONS OF THE PIONEERS. I'VE E-MAILED THE ROY & DALE MUSEUM IN BRANSON, MO. TO ASK ABOUT THE PHOTO'S AUTHENTICITY.

AUTOGRAPH CLOSE-UP

PRETTY COOL THAT ROY WAS THINKING OF ME ABOUT SEVEN YEARS BEFORE I WAS BORN, DON'T YOU THINK?

GOVERNOR FLETCHER & THE KHP

 
 
 

HERE IS MY LATEST LETTER TO THE EDITOR OF THE LEXINGTON HERALD LEADER:
GOVERNOR FLETCHER, YOUR PORTRAIT HANGS PROUDLY IN THE VISITOR CENTER OF THE KENTUCKY HORSE PARK SO I ASSUME THAT MEANS "THE BUCK STOPS WITH YOU." WHY THEN HAVE YOU STOOD BY AND ALLOWED MUCH OF THE "HEART AND SOUL" OF THE KHP TO DRAIN AWAY? AS A FREQUENT VISITOR TO THE KHP AND A 2006 VOLUNTEER, I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE "BEST OF THE BEST" LEAVE. THESE ARE PEOPLE WITH 10, 15 AND EVEN 28 YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH THE PARK. NEW STADIUMS AND ROADS ARE NEEDED FOR SURE, BUT THE WORLD WILL BE MEETING OUR "FRONTLINERS". ONE WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT WITH THE APPROACHING 2010 GAMES THAT MORE ATTENTION WOULD BE PAID TO RETAIN A VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND EXPERIENCED STAFF. ALAS, THE OPPOSITE SEEMS TRUE AT THE KHP. I AM A LIFELONG REPUBLICAN AND I VOTED FOR YOU IN THE 2007 PRIMARY. NEVERTHELESS, I HAVE INFORMED YOUR "HEAD OF CONSTITUENT SERVICES" THAT I WILL NOT VOTE FOR YOU IN THE FALL ELECTION. CHANGE MY MIND.
 

THIS WAS SUBMITTED TO THE HERALD LEADER ON SUNDAY AUGUST 5TH. CHECK OUT http://www.dennychapman.blogspot.com/ FOR A TRIBUTE TO LINDA BRANTLEY, "THE VOICE OF THE KENTUCKY HORSE PARK" WHO HAS RECENTLY RETIRED AFTER 28 YEARS.

KATHY'S LATEST ARTWORK

My Mom & I went to the "Sweet Corn Festival" at Evans Orchard this past weekend. We purchased some corn for my friend Kathy and her mom while we were there. This is Kathy's thank you card. Pretty talented artist don't you think?

NEW CORNER STONE SIGN

After 31 years in the same location, our store is moving about half a mile around the corner to 125 Codell Drive. It is a new center that is located across Todd's Road from Lowe's. This is a computer design of the sign we will be placing on an easel in the store window. This sign originally was painted brown and hung on the wall outside our old location for 25 years or so. I am somewhat apprehensive about the move since I have been struggling in my walk with the Lord for a long time. If He is truly in this move, then everything will work out according to His plan. It sure has been a matter of a great deal of prayer on the part of a lot of people. Lord willing, we plan to be up and running at the new spot by July 31, if not sooner. Continue to pray that the Lord's will be done in all of this for His glory and the work of His kingdom.
