Kentucky Proud
I have a confession… I’m a huge DUKE basketball fan. I have immersed myself in everything Kentucky BUT basketball. It’s unheard of in “Big Blue Country” but true. I’m a Carolina boy at heart. At my first meeting with Commissioner Richie Farmer, former University of Kentucky basketball player, to revamp the Kentucky Proud platform for the Kentucky State Deparment...
