Carrie Ann,
If you spent much time in Prestonsburg, you probably know where Arnold Avenue is. Victoria Spradlin, my aunt and a teacher, lived there and we visited her often. My grandfather, Rev. Howard A. Murrill, was the pastor of the Methodist Church there back in the 1920's.

I always loved Prestonsburg because I could walk to town from Aunt Victoria's house. Her back yard extended all the way to the river bank.

Do all Kentuckians ramble?
