"I was born and reared in Cawood, Ky. in Harlan County
and attended Cawood Elementary school when Cawood Ledford was a teacher
and was a part time announcer for WHLN in Harlan. We had to go to the
top of Crummies mountain to listen to him announce Cumberland Valley
Conference games. He then went to WHAS in Louisville and continued to
announce UK. games. I listened to him all of his broadcasting career and
loved to hear him call the games. It was just like being there. I now
continue to follow the cats but now listen to games on the Internet on your
station. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your site very
much." (name and location not given)

about the recent fire which put WSGS off the air. I am currently
listening to the Internet broadcast of past news stories. Please continue this
service as it is very important to those of us who have moved from the Hazard
area. Also, it would be helpful if you could list obituaries from the Hazard

to keep informed of local deaths. Your website is not only one of the
best, it is also one of the fastest." Dana Lewis, Shelbyville, KY

luck with the new building once it is up and running again." Billie
