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.
Here are a few queries from
July-August
2009

Dear Editor:
Thanks for publishing my request for pink half-runner bean seeds.
I received a response from a Kentucky Explorer reader in Salyersville,
Magoffin County, Kentucky.
I really enjoy the magazine and my family plans to be reading
it as long as it is published.

Info. Wanted
On King
Company/Enterprise
Dear Editor:
I read in the May 2009 issue of The Kentucky Explorer where the
King family or King Enterprise owned the blasting powder mine
and/or manufacturing company on the river in Wurtland, Greenup
County, Kentucky, in the 1920s. I'm wondering what other enterprises
were owned by King.
I strip mined for a small contractor who was doing a job for
what I believed was King Company. There was a Pentecostal preacher
who said he was head man and owned part of the King Recording
Studio in Cincinnati, Ohio. He offered me a chance to come to
Cincinnati and record anything I wanted, ca. 1970. It was the
time of the coal strike over at Laurel River.
Any information would be appreciated.
