Each month, The Kentucky Explorer magazine receives literally scores of letters from our faithful readers. Among those letters we often find queries, ranging from requests for words to songs and poems to trying to locate former classmates and military buddies of long ago.
Here are a few queries from October 2006
Tobacco Worm Bean Seeds Wanted Dear Editor: In the July/August issue of The Kentucky Explorer, Mrs. Eudell Ruggle Hardy wanted some tobacco worm bean seeds. I have never heard of them. A friend did some research on the Internet, and she said they are an heirloom pole bean and are delicious to eat. I would like to have a few to get a start, if anyone has any extra. I like to plant old time seeds. I went to Upper Jacks Creek Grade School in Floyd County from 1940 to 1948. My maiden name was Caudill, and I had a younger brother, Freddie. He is deceased now. I also had a stepsister, Aredia Hall; and two stepbrothers, Bennie, Jr., and Clark Hall. Aredia and Bennie, Jr., are deceased, and Clark's health is bad. Keep up the good work with the magazine. I read it from cover-to-cover. Marjorie Kelly 45 Kentucky Avenue Wurtland, KY 41144
