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 July/August
2010
Vinegar Pie Recipe Wanted
Dear Editor:
I am trying to find the recipe for vinegar pie.
If anyone has this recipe, I would be very grateful to receive
a copy.

Lotts Creek Community School
Founded By Alice Slone
Dear Editor:
I currently subscribe to The Kentucky Explorer, and I enjoy the
magazine.
I would like to point out an error on page 93 of the May 2010
issue. It is listed that the founder of the Lotts Creek Community
School (also known as Cordia) as Alice Stone. The founder was
instead Alice Slone. I know since I attended the school for 12
years, and Miss Slone was a constant presence everywhere at the
school at that time. She served as principal, fundraiser, and
in virtually every capacity. She was a wonderful person whom
no one who attended the school could ever forget.

How Do I Make Horseradish
Root Into A Condiment
Dear Editor:
I need help on how to turn horseradish root into an edible condiment.
I know that it needs to be ground or shredded, but I don't know
what to add to it or where to go from there.
I enjoy the store bought horseradish sauce, but I know the homemade
variety has to be great.
Also, I would like a pattern for turning ladies' handkerchiefs
into quilt tops.

Taught At Wallins Creek,
Harlan County, Kentucky
Dear Editor:
On page 68 of the April 2010 issue of The Kentucky Explorer is
a photo of eight boys. The unidentified boy is me. I am formerly
from Harlan County, Kentucky.
Upon returning from the U. S. Navy, where I served from 1943-1946
(USS Diphda AKA 590), I entered Eastern Kentucky University in
the fall of 1946 and received my degree in the summer of 1949.
I taught industrial arts at Wallins Creek, Harlan County, in
1949-1950. I returned to EKU during the summer of 1950 to begin
graduate study. This was when this photo taken.
Earl Wilder was my roommate at EKU, and he introduced me to a
pretty girl, Joyce Lewis, from Bell County. Joyce and I will
celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary on December 23, 2010.
We have two daughters, two granddaughters, one grandson, and
one great-grandson. We moved to Maryville, Tennessee, in 1957.
Joyce retired from Maryville City Schools in Blount County. We
now live in the city of Seymour.
