Memories from 1970

a photo of a photo... (l.to r.) Mignon Doran, Lisa Clapp, Iris Shreve, Adron Doran...

 

In 1970, when I was a sophomore in high school, Lisa Clapp and I got the chance to visit Morehead State University for a Kentucky Future Homemakers of America conference. Meeting President and Mrs. Adron Doran was a very special treat for both of us.

 

This newspaper photo was accompanied by a bit of Western Kentucky trivia explaining that both of our fathers were students and athletes at Wingo High School while Dr. Doran was principal and coach and Mrs. Doran was a teacher. Lisa's father was also the Kentucky state representative from the 3rd District, the same area Dr.Doran represented for four terms.

 

My father always spoke very highly of Dr. Doran and his wife. After meeting them myself, I too was truly impressed by their genuine kindness. They spent alot of time with us that afternoon and showed us around like royalty. It was big-time for a 15 year-old far away from home (all the way across the great commonwealth of Kentucky)!

 

So fun revisiting old memories as I sort through all the things I have pack-ratted all these years... lol
