Each month, The Kentucky
Explorer magazine receives literally scores of letters from
our faithful readers. Whenever possible, we try to publish as
many of them as possible in the 12 pages we have set aside for
"Letters to the Editor."
Here are
actual letters from March 2006
Would Like To Hear
From Old Classmates
Dear Editor:
My article My First Christmas was printed in the "I Remember"
section of the December 2005 issue of The Kentucky Explorer.
I was living in Oregon at the time I submitted this article.
I have now moved to Missouri. I would really like to move back
to Kentucky.
I forgot to tell readers that I went to Burdine School in Letcher
County, Kentucky, and my maiden name was Harmon. I also went
to school at Beefhide in Letcher County and at Darwin, Wise,
and Pound, Virginia.
I would like to hear from old classmates.
My aunt, Thelma McPherson, lives at Rocky Hollow in Letcher County.
She would like for my husband and me to move back to Kentucky.

Interested In Railroad
Transportation
Dear Editor:
I am interested in any present or past information dealing with
the railroad transportation throughout Eastern Kentucky. I would
like to know where I could locate old maps that may contain some
old railroad community names.
Any help or information would be appreciated.

Concerning "Seven
Sisters"
Dear Editor:
My parents were from Knox County, Kentucky. When I was growing
up we visited there most every summer. I have often mentioned
my dad showing us the Seven Sisters, but no one seems to remember
them. I was delighted to see the picture on page 56 of the January
2006 issue of The Kentucky Explorer of the Seven Sisters on the
Cumberland River near Middlesboro, Bell County, Kentucky.
Do they still exist? If so, where? Are they accessible?
Is there a history or any interesting stories concerning them?
Any help would be appreciated.

Interested In Movie
Memorabilia
Dear Editor:
I am interested in newspaper clippings, books, photos, or anything
else related to the filming of the movie Fire Down Below in Jackson
(Breathitt County) and Hazard (Perry County). Kentucky, in 1996.
It is a hobby of mine to collect such things.
I was in Georgia last month where the movies Heat Of The Night
and Dukes Of Hazzard were filmed.

Searching For Ashley
Family Members
Dear Editor:
I would like to get in touch with Milton Ashley's grandchildren
or any of his relatives. He was my father's (William Ashley)
brother. I have seen him twice; once at a reunion at my grandmother's
house at Morehead (Rowan County), Kentucky, and once in Crandon,
Wisconsin.
Any help readers provide will be appreciated.
