Each month, The Kentucky Explorer magazine receives literally scores of letters from our faithful readers. Among those letters we often find queries, ranging from requests for words to songs and poems to trying to locate former classmates and military buddies of long ago.

Searching For Info. On
"Bad" Bill Waters
Dear Editor:
My uncle, Bill Jewell, from Tar Ridge, Mariba, Menifee County, Kentucky, was called for duty in the CCCs and after a week there he was sent on to the Army. He, along with another uncle, Jeff Jewell, told me many stories about a man called "Bad" Bill Waters from the Red River Gorge area. From what I was told Bill was a ruthless individual.
If readers have heard of this man and would like to share some of their stories or information, I would like to hear from them.
