What might one do with a master's degree in history? He might help make sure that Livingston County's history survives the next week or so.

One of the great joys of my life since being hired by The Heath Post last summer to work on the Kentucky desk is perusing obits from all over the state.

It's interesting to imagine what all filled in the spaces among those beams.

Few University of Kentucky football coaches took the job with seemingly as good of chances for success as has Joker Phillips. Check out Page 2 of Brett Dawson's story.

Speaking of Phillips, who quarterbacked the Wildcats to two Class 3A state championships, it appears that he and Kenny Perry might not have overlapped at Franklin-Simpson High School. They are within three years of age of each other, but Perry wasn't at F-S long before his family moved to Paducah.
