I can tell you the Kentucky Horse Park is so very proud to be the home of this academy.

He went home to Kentucky to deal with the loss of his father and the funeral arrangements and so on,

Eastern Kentucky was a suitcase college. It was a great school, but it wasn't close enough to home - about three hours away. We traveled a lot with the volleyball team, and that was nice.

There was one on Kentucky Avenue that sunk so much that a lady couldn't even get out of her driveway.
