Past K-T Governors Hold Reunion in Central Kentucky

Central Kentucky was a great place to gather for past K-T governors in early April.

On Friday, April 16, the governors had a dinner at Arlington Country Club in Richmond, KY Here Dr. Ken Clawson, a K-T Governor 2000-2001, introduces Eastern Kentucky University President Joanne Glasser, who welcomed the governors to EKU.

On Saturday, April 17, the governors, and some additional Kiwanians from the immediate area, visited the Keenland Race Course in Lexington, KY. Shown here, (l. to r. are) A.E.

The Kiwanians were appropriately seated near the K iwanis section.

Betty and David Olinger study the race when they joined the group at Keenland. Betty is the president of the Kiwanis club of Berea, KY and David is the chairperson of the K-T District Young Children: Priority One Committee. Betty broke into a smile when her daughter Josylyn Olinger joined them at the races. Josyln, a law school graduate from the University of Louisville, is serving as a legal clerk for Kentucky Chief Justice Joseph E. Lambert

Why is Ken Clawson the only person smiling in this photo finish? John W. Gorrell, and wife Jenny Gorrell were clearly not happy with this finish.

Keenland provided an excellent opportunity for Dr. Glen Kleine, K-T webmaster and Lt. Governor of Division 9 to take photos of the event.
