9 June 26

Happy belated birthday (3 June), Amy Graham! Amy worked with me in Information Technology at EKU from the 1990s through my retirement at the end of 2023. She is the Manager for Administrative Support. She gave me this tie in 2022; it originally belonged to her airplane-loving father, Gary Kearns.

I'm also recognizing the birthday (on 31 May) of Charles Woolum, my EKU comrade in Blackboard-land for several years. Charles now works in information technology for University of Kentucky Health Care. Two special notes regarding him: (1) Charles was a student in my first "Honors Rhetoric" class at EKU, and (2) he is responsible for gifting me several ties in my collection. I'm including a photo of my Duct Tape tie, a Christmas present from 2010.

One more special note: Today is National Forklift Safety Day! If you use one, please do it safely, today and every day.
