 PROSPECT – You couldn’t ask for a better setting than the one found last Thursday afternoon at Nevel Meade Golf Course.

The temperature was around 70 degrees, with a light breeze blowing throughout. The course was well manicured, from the smooth fairways to the rock waterfall guarding the sixth green.

And all around the course was good competition.

Players from North Oldham, Oldham County and South Oldham High Schools were playing in the Oldham Cup, an annual event pitting the county’s three schools against each other.

 I was born August 12, 1929 at Brownsboro and Dr. Skaggs delivered me.  Luther and Minnie Strain Purvis were my parents.  Mom grew up in Trimble and Daddy grew up in Henry County. 

I am the only child still living, I was the youngest, out of 10 children.  There were seven girls and three boys.  My oldest sibling was about 20 years older than me.

 For the first time ever, five local Republican groups joined together to celebrate their growing political strength with the state’s top GOP officials.

The Republican parties of Henry, Oldham, Trimble, Carroll and Shelby joined together last Friday for the first ever Multi-County GOP Picnic, drawing U.S. Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul as headliners.

Congressman Thomas Massie and Agriculture Commissioner James Comer joined the state’s two U.S. senators at the event, in addition to dozens of local officials from the five counties.
