    But having retired from politics himself in 2010, Murner now just acts as a politician, namely former Kentucky Secretary of State Caleb Powers, as part of the Chautauqua program.

    We learn about love in the family first, and that is not always a good thing. I found these notes from an anonymous mother in Austin, Texas.
