Junction News

By Kathy BolinJuly 23--Greetings from the

Junction.Summer is almost over for

me and the kids of Morgan County. School will be starting up early part of August. I have enjoyed the time off and was able to spend much needed time with family and friends.

East Valley School has lost some “oldies, but goodies” in their staff. Avanell Adams and Carolyn Bishop have both re-tired this year. I can’t begin to tell you how much Carolyn had did for our community thru the Family Resource Center. This was her community and her friends and she always went up and beyond to find the services and needs to provide for those who were going through diffi-cult times or needed additional help. She will be sadly missed by staff and our community.

East Valley seems like my home. I started working there in 1996 when we first moved to Kentucky. I had the opportu-

nity to work with all these fine people every day for years. So they become as family. I wish Carolyn, Avanell, and Dennis Ball, (he, too, is retiring this year) a blissful retirement full of joy and rest.

And Tommy Potter has taken superintendent job in Elliott County. I congratulate you on your new job and much success.

Condolences to Robert Tol-son, in the death of his son, Robert. Funeral services were on Sunday, July 22, at Herald and Stewart and Halsey. Burial was in the Davis Cemetery, Grassy Creek, Ky.

Congratulations to Mary Beth Harmon, who has won a scholarship from Cox Foods. Mary Beth is the daughter of Wesley and Kim Harmon, and will be a senior at Morehead this semester.

Housewarming wishes to Mike and Pam Vest. They have moved to new home on Dead-man Branch. Also, Sylvia Bur-chett, Pam’s mom is staying with them.
