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
May 2010
Wants Start Of Poke Sallet
Dear Editor:
I read on page 51 of the March 2010 issue of The Kentucky Explorer
about poke sallet. I would like to get a start of the greens.
I have eaten the greens and stalk prepared by an Arkansas friend.
She prepared it in bacon grease, and when it was ready to eat
she added eggs and stirred until they cooked.
I told my friend that everyone should have a patch of poke because
it is so good and healthful.
May God bless each and every one who prepares the magazine.
I took some back issues to a cancer clinic and saw several people
reading them.

Article Wanted On
Charles William Pennington
Dear Editor:
Some time ago a story written by Daisy Pennington was published
in The Kentucky Explorer. It was a story about Charles William
Pennington of Harlan County, Kentucky. Someone was nice enough
to send me a copy of this story; however, the sad part is that
in 2004 my house burnt. I lost all of my genealogy documents,
books, and pictures.
I have for the past six years been searching for someone who
has a copy of this story.
If any reader can help, please contact me.
