What a GREAT QUOTE - perhaps we should all put it in our "offices"
but, back to the discussion and this quote applies.

Perhaps the best thing to do would be to write a letter to the "board" of
the museum and point out the "untruth", but we must all remember that true
is "preceived". The other night, at a "field trip", our museum studies class
was told, (this is not a direct quote) The Union Army, was the first to
invade Kentucky terriory and break her neturality during the Civil War.

This thought pattern is prevalent in thies area, and using official sources
and arguing until Doom's Day, will NOT change this.

They argued about it 140 years ago and they still agrue about it today -
Local traditions are VERY hard to break, and if you are an "outsider", you
must tread VERY lightly!

Is there really a soulution for a problems like this? I wonder?
