RIP Gatewood Galbraith

There are enough Kentucky folks here to make this worthwhile.

Just heard about this. Floored me. Stein is right:

"He had a kind heart," Stein said. "Lexington and Kentucky will not be nearly as interesting without Gatewood."

Even if you don't/didn't know Gatewood, take a few minutes and read the obit. It's very well done.

The obit is nicely done.

I didn't get the chance to know him that well when I was working in Frankfort, but he was always very nice when we did bump into each other. The man was great with about remembering a person's name. Every time we saw each other he would walk up and say "Hi KYSW, how are you?" or something like that. The man was great to talk to.

I didn't agree with every one of his viewpoints, but the man was a great politician and received my vote for governor this past fall.

My mom, who's farther right than I am, voted for him this fall.
