EDITOR’S NOTE

Letter Editor

FROM THE

At some point in my life, I somehow learned to loathe lawn jockeys – the black jockey statues with outstretched arms – and be wary of people who placed them in their yards. I can’t recall where I first learned this or how many times the need to be disgusted by the weighty figurines was reiterated to me. I’m ashamed to admit it never occurred to me to research the origins of the lawn jockey, and, instead, I allowed myself to adopt others’ beliefs as my own.

While there are certainly many valid reasons why the sight of a lawn jockey still causes some people to bristle – I still get uncomfortable when I see one – its origins were allegedly intended to honor Jocko Graves, a slave who tended to and rode the horses on George Washington’s farm but died during the Revolutionary War. (Note: I say “allegedly” because there are academics who argue against the truth of this tale while others argue it’s a factual part of history). Writer/playwright Larry Muhammad, the main source in this week’s cover story, offers a wealth of knowledge about black history, including how it pertains to the Kentucky Derby. I’ve always believed we have to understand our past in order to move forward, and I appreciate the lessons Larry imparts. I hope you learn as much as I did from the story, written

by Steve Kaufman, and also consider joining John Asher, Rep. John Yarmuth and Mayor Greg Fischer on April 22 at the Kentucky Derby Museum for “Race to Greatness: A Celebration of the Black Jockeys of the Kentucky Derby,” hosted by Simmons College.

Over the past three months, The Voice-Tribune has continued to evolve and grow, which has included adding to our team. We recently welcomed Rich Hild to our sales team and Liz Bingham, who will serve as both an account executive and our events coordinator. Now, we are seeking to hire two full-time photographers.

Southern Sophistication Louisville Marriott Downtown debuts Porch Kitchen & Bar Story by Remy Sisk Photos by Josh Keown

B

y now, most Louisvillians are familiar with their dining options when they head downtown for a game or concert at the KFC Yum! Center. Diverse and delicious options abound on Whiskey Row and surrounding blocks. However, as of late, there is another option to consider: Porch Kitchen & Bar. Part of the Louisville Marriott Downtown, whose renovations will be complete on April 26, Porch opened on Feb. 21.

From what they’re serving up, it’s already clear Porch is becoming a unique fixture in the downtown dining scene.

As it’s part of the Marriott, there’s rarely a time that Porch isn’t serving food. Breakfast begins every weekday at 6:30 a.m. followed by lunch, happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m. and then dinner until 11 p.m. Brunch is served on the weekends from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., a window that allows everyone from the early birds to the late risers to get a seat at the table.

In the development of Porch’s concept, the creators wanted to make a space that was inviting and comfortable while still boasting an impressive menu that is both accessible and culinarily distinct. The results are fabulous.

Chef Josh Carter says that in the few weeks Porch has been open, it has become known already for its fried chicken. A singular take on a classic, Porch’s fried chicken is brined for a minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of 36 and is served with housemade coleslaw, a hot honey drizzle and mushroom gravy.

Meanwhile, the loaded BBQ pulled pork nachos are similarly comforting while also sophisticated. The dish consists of slow-roasted pulled pork that the team makes in-house and smokes overnight for at least eight hours, housemade queso, pico de gallo, black beans and pickled fresno peppers. It’s all topped with a barbecue

sauce that is actually comprised of three different sauces: a hot sauce, a sweet barbecue and a spicy barbecue.

Additionally, Carter insists that he and his team at Porch are committed to providing options for anyone and everyone with dietary restrictions. For example, the quinoa vegetable chili can be made vegan. Carter has replaced the traditional meat in chili with quinoa and added several different vegetables to make the dish extra hearty. The chili is then topped with a small salad featuring a housemade lemon dressing, pico, cotija cheese, romaine lettuce and a lime crema.

For dessert, Carter has created the all too sinful bourbon butter cake, which is just that – a vanilla cake soaked overnight in butter, sugar and bourbon. When plated, it’s topped with local ice cream and pecans. Without question, each dish at Porch is a genuinely complex effort in the kitchen. “Every dish has at least two different recipes, sub-recipes and finishes that go along with it,” says Carter.

Even though the components of each dish are all freshly prepared, Carter maintains that each time a customer visits, the dishes should taste the same since he holds consistency as a vital tenet is his kitchen. “Here at Porch, it’s definitely about comfort food but I would say we have some Southern influence and we definitely put a culinary flair to it and make sure the product is consistent – consistency is a major priority of ours,” he affirms. “All of our recipes are in grams, which is a very fine measurement.”

Aside from the food, the cocktail program at Porch is likewise awe-inspiring, and the amount of craft and care put into each drink is astounding. Their take on an Old Fashioned uses Elijah Craig Small Batch bourbon, black walnut bitters and vanilla demerara 10

with Madagascar vanilla beans, which allows for a slightly sweeter and smoother finish.

The Prickly Pear Margarita packs the perfect amount of punch and is topped with an edible orchid. Porch recently debuted a particularly exciting cocktail called the Rose and Fig, which offers rosemary-infused Jim Beam Black bourbon and fig syrup.

Regardless of if you go to eat, drink or do both, Carter wants to emphasize that no matter what you’re looking for, Porch can do it and do it in style. “We have something for everybody – our menu is designed so that you can bring in a group of 10 people and we would have something for everyone,” he contends, and it would all be set in Porch’s laid-back atmosphere, creating a comfortable dining experience you won’t soon forget.

ast week, I introduced you to the Derby Divas Workout that was created by Jill Woods and inspired by the Derby Divas event, which will take place at Rodes For Him For Her on April 19.

This week, I’m bringing you the second and final part of that workout to get your body Derby ready.

Remember, this regimen combines both weight resistance and cardio training and goes back and forth between the two. For this workout, all you need is a mat or towel, hand weights, a timer and water.

WEIGHTED SQUAT JACKS Repeat for 30 seconds

Starting with your feet together, bend at the knees into a squat then jump outward.

Reach with your hands overhead and then resume your original position with feet back together. For a modification, move your arms to do a traditional jumping Jack.

SQUAT JUMPS

Repeat for 30 seconds

Starting with your feet hip-width apart, lower your body so your elbows connect with your quads. Imagine you’re sitting back into a chair. Pushing up from the ground, raise your hands over your head, push them downward as you jump and then bring the body back to starting position. For a modification, start with your elbows on your quads, push up and reach for the sky with your arms but don’t do the jumping.

SPEED SKATER Repeat for 30 seconds

Starting with your feet hip-width apart, leap laterally to one side, allowing the the other leg to cross behind you without touching the floor. Leap to the other side, letting the opposite leg cross behind and repeat. For a modification, step to the side – crossing the other leg behind to touch the floor and alternate.

LIFE

RENEGADE ROWS WITH A PUSH-UP 15 reps x 3

Starting on all fours, extend your leg into a plank position. Keep a hand weight in each hand or beside your hands. Lower the body to the floor. Then, when bringing the body upwards, bring one elbow out to the side in a rowing movement. Lower the body back down to the floor, and repeat on the other side. For a modification, do this with your knees on the floor.

WEIGHTED RUSSIAN TWIST 15 reps x 3

Start in the seated position with your chest elevated, placing the weight toward your chest.

Start by facing forward, then face to your right, face the front and then to the left. For a progression, lift your feet off of the floor and do the same movements.

Be sure to protect your lower back by elevating your chest up towards the sky.

CLOSE GRIP TRICEP PUSH-UP 15 reps x 3

Starting on all fours, make a diamond with your hands as shown in the photo.

Lower your body to the floor to where you feel comfortable, then push the body back up. For a modification, do this with your knees on the floor.

ith all the traveling that Josh Johnson, creator of TheKentuckyGent.com, does for work, we thought we would sit down with the local blogger and see what tips he has for traveling in style.

How often do you travel?

I usually take about two trips a month.

Are these trips for work or leisure?

They are usually a little bit of both.

How do you pack for different types of trips?

STYLE

Josh Johnson’s Travel Style

By Miranda McDonald

For work trips, I take time to plan out my outfits ahead of time and then pack them accordingly. I like to know ahead of time what outfits I will be wearing for each day because my schedule can be quite busy.

For leisure trips, however, I just make sure I have enough tops and bottoms for the time I will be there. I’m not as meticulous about packing when I’m not working.

Do you have any go-to items you like to wear while traveling?

When it comes to traveling, I have a uniform I pretty much stick to. Depending on the weather, I like to wear comfortable jeans or shorts, a button-down (usually flannel) and t-shirt and a comfortable pair of shoes.

Everything I wear is comfortable, and all of it is ethically-sourced and made in the United States. Those are two things I look for when I pick out pieces to add to my wardrobe.

Also, a hoodie or jacket always comes in handy because flights can be cold. They are also good for layering. When you layer, you don’t have to worry about changing once you land. Instead, you can just remove or change up what you already you have on. This saves time and makes things a lot easier.

Do you have any accessories you like to take with you when traveling?

I always have sunglasses, a watch, a bandana or hat and comfortable shoes.

Do you have any beauty items you like to pack as well?

I have three things I always pack in my carry-on: eyedrops, face wipes from Biore or Simple Truth and Chapstick. These three items help me stay fresh during those long days of travel.

Do you have a go-to brand for luggage?

I use Away luggage because they are hard shell and have a lifetime warranty. Also, the carry-on has a built-in battery, so charging your portable devices on the go is easy.

I also carry a Herschel backpack. A backpack is always a good item to have on the plane and when walking around a new city.

Any other pieces of advice for style on the go?

My style doesn’t change much when I am traveling, even if it is for work. I’m lucky enough to do something that allows me to stay true to my own aesthetic. I mostly like to be comfortable, and dress for my body. Those two things are important to me. VT

SPOTLIGHT

Dining at the Mansions Dinner party event at Old Louisville’s historic mansions benefits UofL’s LGBT Center.

As told by Brian Buford, executive director of UofL’s LGBT Center

WHAT TO EXPECT

WHY IT MATTERS

We are so excited this year that every mansion participating will have the services of a professional chef to prepare the meal of a lifetime, which gives the host a little breathing room to be present with their guests and share their amazing homes with them. I think the magic of this event is that it’s the marriage of an incredible idea with a very important cause. That’s why we decided not to charge a fee to participate and instead to just tell guests the story of the LGBT Center and DINING AT THE let them decide how MANSIONS they want to support it. There is a fun 6 p.m. April 14 spirit of competition Old Louisville among the houses louisville.edu/lgbt to see who can raise the most money, and we will have student volunteers at each home to assist the guests in using our online giving pages to register their donation. Those students will also be sharing more about what the LGBT Center means to them so that guests can really make the connection to how their gifts will help. People can check out the giving sites and even make gifts now if they want by visiting elevate.louisville.edu/g/lgbt.

All the funds raised go directly to support LGBT students at UofL and the programs and services that the center oversees. That includes five LGBT-themed scholarships, a themed housing community where LGBT students and allies can live together and study social justice, a first-in-the-nation medical school curriculum that is teaching future physicians to be LGBT-competent and inclusive and crisis intervention for students when they lose family support for being LGBT. We really rely on the support of our surrounding community, and it’s working. UofL has been named one of the most LGBT-friendly schools for the last three years by Campus Pride!

WHAT’S ON THE MENU

BY THE NUMBERS: Participating Chefs: 6, plus assistants Total Seats Filled: 85 Seats remaining: 0 (Yay!) Funds raised in 2017: $18,000

18

I have loved watching the homeowners and their chefs come up with a vision for their meal and develop a menu that creates a really unique and special experience at each home.

At one home, they are recreating some of the homeowner’s favorite childhood memories of Sunday afternoon dinners at his grandmother’s house. At another, they are focusing on a shared love of ’60s rock and the peace movement. One chef just published a cookbook and she’ll be cooking recipes from it.

How incredible is that? We were really lucky to secure chefs from Louvino, Butchertown Grocery, Proof and others.

WHO IT HELPS I always say that we serve 22,000 students because we are a resource to every single student at UofL, plus our 6,000 faculty and staff. Being a welcoming community means everyone is part of that commitment and is working to create a safe and inclusive campus.

We train people as allies and celebrate it whenever they show up for LGBT students.

In recent years, we’ve started creating high school visits so that our LGBT high school folks can see that they have an inclusive place to go when they head to college. Finally, we have created a network for LGBT alumni so that they can stay engaged and give back to the new generation of students. We have a BIG vision for what we can do and it continues to grow.

HOW TO ATTEND NEXT YEAR If people didn’t get a seat this year, they can stay informed and get the early notice for next year by liking our Facebook group. If they still want to show their support for the LGBT Center, they can give a gift by visiting our website, www.louisville.edu/lgbt and clicking the tab labeled, “Show Your Support.” VT 0 4 . 1 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

THE FOOD LITERACY PROJECT RECEIVES $64,647 LOWE’S GRANT

The Lowe’s Gives Foundation has awarded a $64,647 grant to the Food Literacy Project for their expansion to Iroquois Farm. The Food Literacy Project will use the grant to grow programs and infrastructure for their outdoor classroom at the developing site.

The grant will be announced at the Food Literacy Project’s Volunteer Work Day and BreakFEST on April 14, 2018 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Iroquois Farm, located at 1400 Bicknell Ave. The Volunteer Work Day is part of Mayor Fischer’s Give a Day of service week-long program. The Food Literacy Project invites community members to help expand their youth Learning Garden.

Activities will include garden bed construction, spreading soil and planting vegetable starts, as well as a field-to-fork cooking activity.

This is a family-friendly event.

Lowe’s Gives Foundation funds will help the Food Literacy Project create a hub for education, youth employment, leadership development, jobs skills training and health improvement at Iroquois Farm. Already, students at Hazelwood Elementary are engaging with the land at Iroquois Farm through the Food Literacy Project’s Field-to-Fork After School Club, where students have planted, cultivated and harvested in the Learning Garden with their families.

A pavilion and outdoor teaching kitchen will be added to the outdoor classroom at Iroquois Farm in 2019. Thousands of people will discover the joy and power of growing, cooking and eating wholesome foods through the Food Literacy Project’s Field-to-Fork Program, fostering relationships that support healthy lifestyles.

“We are so grateful to have the Lowe’s Gives Foundation’s investment in the Food Literacy Project’s expansion to Iroquois Farm,” said Associate Executive Director Angelique Perez. “This project is connecting youth, families and community members with fresh food, farming, the land and each other. Young people are engaging as leaders to address food, justice and health issues and driving change in their families, schools and neighborhoods.”

A Decade of Change Operation Open Arms celebrates 10 years of Silks in the Bluegrass

By Remy Sisk

athy Bailey has spent her life helping children. A former teacher and co-founder of the Ronald McDonald House project, she knew that once she started her own charity, it would without question center on the needs of children. n a true turn of fate at the Bailey residence on Derby night in 2000, the conversation among friends turned serious as a friend related that there were 100,000 children in the country who had a parent behind bars.

Together with her husband Irv, Cathy Bailey launched Operation Open Arms, an organization dedicated to connecting children whose mothers are incarcerated with nurturing homes.

What keeps me up at night is loving, “The likelihood of a child the thought of a child living falling into a path of crime is dramatically increased if he or she in an abusive environment and has an incarcerated parent,” says “Placing these children constantly being neglected. Bailey. in a secure, safe and nurturing — Cathy Bailey home environment increases the chance that they will not fall into this lifestyle, therefore breaking SILKS IN THE the cycle, which is vital.” Operation Open BLUEGRASS Arms is a critical cog in this endeavor and has seen astounding results over its nearly 20-year 8 p.m. May 4 existence. oparms.org In its earlier years, the company func502.777.6300 tioned primarily on grants and donations, but in 2009, its greatest fundraiser was launched: Silks in the Bluegrass. Annually a hotly anticipated event, Silks in the Bluegrass takes place Derby weekend and is held to honor and celebrate the founding of the charity. “In 2009, we wanted to broaden the awareness in the community about what we do in Operation Open Arms,” Bailey recounts. “There was a decision to create a fundraiser the weekend 20

of the Kentucky Derby since the concept of Operation Open Arms was founded the night of the Kentucky Derby in 2000.”

The growth of the event has mirrored the growth of the organization. In its first year, Silks in the Bluegrass was held at the Olmstead with 70 guests in attendance and featured entertainment and a gourmet dinner.

In the years following, it took place at the Crowne Plaza and continued to add offerings throughout the night. In 2016, the Operation Open Arms Hero Award was established and the the decision to add dancing to a high-energy band was made, which enhanced the guests’ experience. Last year’s iteration saw approximately 300 individuals come out to celebrate the work of Operation Open Arms.

Coming up, 2018’s event looks to be the best yet. “As we celebrate on May 4 – our 10th anniversary – we are excited to announce this year’s event will be held at Historic Locust Grove, with dining and dancing under the stars!” Bailey exudes. “What could be a better Kentucky experience than the ambiance and backdrop of the circa 1792 Georgian mansion, the home of frontiersman George Rogers Clark?”

Special highlights this year again include the seated dinner and dancing to the renowned Perfect 10 Band from Atlanta.

The official beer sponsor is Schlafly Beer, and sponsor Brown-Forman will be on hand to provide spirits and wine at the open bar.

Guests can also get in on the fun by enjoying the Brown-Forman flavor wheel, and Bailey ensures attendees will adore the official bourbon cocktail, the Silks Smash.

No matter how much fun the event is, however, Bailey emphasizes that it is all for a truly worthy cause: helping children find the homes they deserve. “Children are our future,” she 0 4 . 1 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

maintains. “It’s hard for me to fathom that in the United States of America we have children who go to bed hungry. That’s why our food programs in our schools are so very important because that may be the only decent meal they have all day. What keeps me up at night is the thought of a child living in an abusive environment and constantly being neglected. We have read one too many stories of extreme cases of children with no ability to defend themselves.

These are scars that will stay with them for a lifetime. I liken it to the story of the starfish.

I cannot solve all of the problems that the children face in America, but we can change the lives of some.”

Looking to the future, Bailey promises she and the Operation Open Arms team are constantly plowing ahead, striving to make more of a difference in this community and beyond than ever before. “Expanding outside of our state is the current goal,” she says. “We are licensed in the state of Florida; however, we have not opened shop there as of yet. We need to take our concept to other communities because our results are so very positive on behalf of kids.” VT

St. X Welcomes New Football Coach Kevin Wallace

By Randy Whetstone Jr.

K

evin Wallace has traveled more than 120 miles from Bowling Green to Louisville to take over as the new football coach at St. Xavier High School after former coach Will Wolford stepped down back in December. Wallace previously coached at Bowling Green High School, where he led the program to five state championships. Now, he has become the 19th head football coach at St. X. He shares what he looks to bring to the program for years to come.

What interested you the most about the St. X position?

The academic and athletic traditions at St. X have earned national respect. I have been a part of coaching St. X athletes in all-star events and have competed against them for several years. Those factors set a foundation for my interest in leading the program.

What went into your decision making to accept the job?

Most importantly, it was a family decision.

Without the support and approval of my wife and children, I I hope to earn the respect of our would not have considered the staff and players and, with their move. Other factors in the help, create a culture that will inspire. decision centered around — Coach Kevin Wallace

being part of the St. X climate and coaching at the highest level of high school football in Kentucky.

What is your coaching philosophy and how will you work to acclimate students to your new system?

Coaching is a teaching and relationship business. I hope to earn the respect of our staff and players and, with their help, create a culture that will inspire. I want every stakeholder to be accountable and committed to working and improving our performance on a daily basis. In terms of how we will play, my goal is for St. X to be a physical team that has great attention to detail for individual assignments and that we find ways to put our best players in a position to impact the game.

How will you try to impact the lives of players off the field?

It is my hope that our program will aide in the academic, social, spiritual and athletic growth of each player at St. X.

What kind of culture do you want to establish for the Tigers?

Everyone in our program will share the responsibility for building a “team-first” mentality. Attitude, effort and willingness to compete are within everyone’s control. A program that is full of positive attitudes and great effort has the potential to improve.

How will you maintain the success that St. X has had in recent years?

I believe that if I surround myself with quality people, my main job will be to organize a program that allows those people to use their talents in the best manner possible.

It’s obvious to me that there are great people involved with the football program at St. X. My priority will include a detail-oriented approach to discovering things that we can do to improve.

Have you already started thinking about the Trinity and St. X rivalry?

What does it mean to you?

The St. X-Trinity rivalry is the “gold standard” of high school athletics in Kentucky.

Trinity has elevated their football program to being a consistent national power. If we expect to make it a consistent rivalry, we must 22

discover a way to bring St. X to the same standard of excellence on the football field.

What will you do to cultivate this program for the future?

The only promises I can make are those that are within my control. I will commit to everyone connected with our program. I will be persistent in my efforts to operate a successful program on the field and create a culture for young people to develop within the mission of St. Xavier High School. VT

The Winkfield winning the 1902 Kentucky Derby.

In the earliest days of the Kentucky Derby, AfricanAmerican jockeys dominated the race.

Then, as victims of Jim Crow, they vanished. But a Louisville college is updating the history lesson.

A

Sport of Kings

– AND SLAVES

t the first Kentucky Derby in 1875, Aristides galloped to victory with Oliver Lewis in the saddle.

Aristides was chestnut. Lewis was black, as was Aristides’ trainer, Ansel Williamson. Like Lewis, Williamson was a former slave, sold in 1864 to the Woodburn Stud Farm. After the war and emancipation, Williamson continued working at the Woodford County horse farm for owner Robert Alexander, widely considered as “the birthplace of Kentucky’s Thoroughbred industry.”

Williamson’s horses won the Derby, the Belmont Stakes, the Travers Stakes, the Jerome Handicap and the Withers Stakes.

Two years after Aristides, a former jockey named Ed Brown – also of Woodburn Farm

By Steve Kaufman – trained the 1877 Derby winner BadenPhotos courtesy of Kentucky Baden. Brown was black, as was BadenBlack Repertory Theatre Baden’s rider, Billy Walker.

Isaac Murphy, the son of a former slave, won back-to-back Derbys in 1890 and 1891, and became the first They were considered rider to win three Derbys overall. In extremely valuable and 1901 and 1902, Jimmy Winkfield also rode treated well – for slaves. two straight Derby — Larry Muhammad winners. Murphy was black. Winkfield was black. In that very first Derby, 13 of the 15 riders were black.

In the first quarter-century of the Kentucky Derby, 15 of the winning jockeys were black.

SIMMONS COMMEMORATES HISTORY

It’s a history that’s largely forgotten today – a fact Simmons College is aiming to address during this year’s Kentucky Derby Festival with an event called “Race to Greatness: A Celebration of the Black Jockeys of the Kentucky Derby.”

The event will focus on this long-ignored aspect in the horseracing industry as a whole and the Kentucky Derby in particular while re-addressing a few old truths.

GROOMED TO RACE There was nothing unusual in the years immediately following the Civil War about black men in the racing world.

“All these plantation owners had horses, and slaves took care of those horses as grooms, trainers and riders,” said Louisville writer and playwright Larry Muhammad.

“They were considered extremely valuable and treated well – for slaves.”

For example, Muhammad told the story of Jocko Graves, a slave who tended and rode the horses on George Washington’s plantation at Mt. Vernon and was much appreciated by Washington. “During the Revolutionary War, Graves froze to death on the banks of the Delaware River, and Washington erected a statue on the lawn at Mt. Vernon in Graves’ honor. In a nod to Washington, that statue was replicated all over the country, becoming the model for all the black lawn jockeys we saw for a century

in the fronts of homes and stores.

“Now, they’ve all been painted white,” the writer said, “because people thought the black statues were denigrating to African-Americans. They didn’t understand the history of them.”

After the Civil War, those ex-slaves who had ridden and worked with the plantations’ horses became the first racing professionals – jockeys and trainers.

They had the experience. They knew all about horses. They dominated the sport.

GONE AND FORGOTTEN Then, they vanished from American racetracks altogether. Jim Crow laws were sweeping the land. White jockeys were demanding that black people be prohibited from racing in the same races. When they did ride, they were boxed in and whipped by the white jockeys and often ridden into the rails.

As a result, said Muhammad, the owners became reluctant to hire black jockeys for fear of damaging their horses.

Churchill Downs was no exception.

After Winkfield rode Alan-a-Dale to a photo finish in the 1902 Derby, not another black rider won the race. No black jockey had even ridden in the Derby between 1921 and 2000, when Marlon St. Julien rode Curule to a seventh-place finish for the Godolphin Stable in Dubai.

Now, (the black lawn jockeys) have all been painted white, because people thought the black statues were denigrating to AfricanAmericans. They didn’t understand the history of them.

It attracted a who’s-who of well-known African-Americans, starting with Whoopi Goldberg at the inaugural 1989 event.

Morgan Freeman, Tramaine Hawkins, Dawnn Lewis and Ed Hamilton were among those who attended over the years, while Oprah Winfrey, Arsenio Hall, Marla Gibbs and Al Green lent their names, though they didn’t attend.

However, this salute never became a mainstream Derby event because Beard refused to move it out of her Smoketown neighborhood. According to the restaurant’s website, “Shirley Mae depleted her retirement funds to fund this event annually to ensure that the event remained free to the public and that it remained in the projects – easily accessible to the children there.”

EDUCATING THE COMMUNITIES

century, like Winkfield, took their skills overseas, thriving on the tracks and living like princes in pre-World War I Europe.

“Winkfield became royalty in Russia and France,” said Muhammad, whose play, “Jockey Jim,” is about Winkfield’s life.

He rode in Poland, Austria and Russia, won countless Derby and Grand Prix races, accumulated six-figure earnings and married a Russian baroness. He fled to Paris during the 1917 Russian Revolution and carved out a new career in France as a rider and trainer. He and his wife bought a chateau in Maison-Laffitte and successfully trained horses there.

But, as Muhammad recounts in his play, when Winkfield returned to the U.S. in 1953, he was largely forgotten. “I wrote about his coming back to Louisville for a turf writers’ dinner at the Brown Hotel, and he and his wife were at first denied entrance.”

RACE TO GREATNESS In fact, the entire generation of pioneering black jockeys was too often forgotten in 0 4 . 1 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

America – even in the home of the Kentucky Derby. Therefore, Simmons College feels a duty to resurrect that history.

“Our objective is to recreate the sense of history and sense of pride in this community,” said Von Purdy, Simmons’ director of development. “The entire community here should celebrate black jockeys as a part of the history of Louisville’s greatest event. If we’re going to tell the story, why not get involved with the Derby?”

THE PIONEER, SHIRLEY MAE It’s not as if this decision was a no-brainer. Purdy is a North Carolina native who didn’t know this aspect of black history either; that was until she and a friend went to lunch in February at Shirley Mae’s Café, the Smoketown institution located at Clay and Lampton streets.

“There were all these old pictures of black jockeys on the wall,” Purdy recalled.

“I found out Shirley Mae Beard used to put on a Salute to Black Jockeys event every year during Derby.”

It is Purdy’s hope that this new event will have a similar impact on Louisville’s black community, but that it will also resonate across all of the city’s communities and population groups, including her own constituency. Simmons is the only private historically black college and university in Kentucky but, Purdy said, “I believe many of Simmons’ current students don’t know this part of Derby history.”

“Race to Greatness” will take place 1 to 3:30 p.m. April 22 at the Kentucky Derby Museum. John Asher, vice president of racing communications at Churchill Downs Race Track, will don his Derby historian cloak to provide the historical piece of the story.

The Kentucky Black Repertory Theatre company will perform an excerpt from Larry Muhammad’s play (which has been produced in full and performed at Actors Theatre of Louisville and The Henry Clay Theatre). The Simmons College marching band will also perform.

There will be a silent auction of Derby memorabilia such as posters and bonnets.

VisionWorks Doctors of Optometry is serving as the main sponsor. The Kentucky Derby Festival and the Omni Hotel are among the other sponsors, and 93.1 FM radio is the media sponsor.

Lest anyone think that Shirley Mae Beard’s efforts are forgotten, Asher will present her with a commemorative award, and Mayor Greg Fischer and Rep. John Yarmuth will also honor her.

The event is nearly sold out. “We have about 15 tickets left,” said Purdy. If it proves to be successful, Purdy expects it to become an annual part of the Kentucky Derby Festival. VT 27

SUMMER CAMP GUIDE

S

2018

ummer is the time for children and teens to rest and regroup after completing another hectic year of school. But the season can also mean boredom and restlessness as kids must spend more time away from their friends and don’t exercise their minds as often. To combat this summer fatigue, consider enrolling your child in one of the more than 50 camps listed in our comprehensive 2018 guide.

Camps, of course, are not limited to those who like physical or outdoor activities. Maybe your kiddos are interested in arts, sciences, language, technology or something else entirely.

Perhaps they miss the academic atmosphere and structure of school or want to broaden their horizons. Maybe they do want to explore the outdoors or learn to play a new sport.

With programs designed for individualized interests and children of all abilities, this list has something every child and parent can get excited about. Give your children room to explore and something to look forward to this summer.

ummer is knocking at the door, and kiddos are getting antsy! School is almost out, and the sunshine is calling! Summers spent by the water, whether it be the neighborhood pool, sandy beaches, or nearby lake, encompass some of a family’s most memorable and cherished moments. AquaTots Swim Schools create peace of mind for these families by teaching children how to be safe in and around the water.

As the leader in swim instruction since 1991, Aqua-Tots offers year-round swim lessons for children ages 4 months and older.

The learn-to-swim program, first and foremost, focuses on water safety skills and comfort. Once a student is comfortable in the water, the “Lessons For Life” curriculum teaches basic swimming skills, independence, technique, tempo and more. Aqua-Tots helps children not only learn to swim, but also develop a lifelong love of swimming.

The state-of-the-art swim school is built with your family in mind. The 6,850 square foot facility features a 50 X 30 foot indoor pool heated to 90 degrees, viewing area with free Wi-Fi services, spacious changing area with amenities, play area, and a snack bar and retail area. The heated pool and swim

environment keeps students comfortable so they are eager to learn. With never more than 4 students in a class, the small group setting fosters optimal learning and time spent with the instructor.

Every instructor goes through over 40 hours of intensive classroom and in-water training. In addition, Aqua-Tots Water Safety Instructors have passed an exam and obtained CPR training prior to receiving their Water Safety Instructor certification and teaching their first swim lesson. Once certified, instructors are assessed regularly to assure lesson quality and consistency.

The newest Aqua-Tots is located at the corner of Blankenbaker Parkway and Shelbyville Road, in Blankenbaker Plaza, next to Walmart Neighborhood Market and Fitness 19. Aqua-Tots is open Monday through Saturday and offers morning, afternoon and evening swim lessons. It is recommended that a child enroll in at least two days per week for optimal learning.

Aqua-Tots franchise owners, Jake and Lindsay Thayer, are excited for the families of Louisville to experience all that Aqua-Tots has to offer. “Louisville is in need of a place that provides quality swim instruction. We believe we can help fill that gap by bringing drowning prevention to the community. We want families to have the peace of mind that their children are safe around and in the water.”

So, when is the best time to get started in swimming lessons? Now! There is no perfect age to learn how to swim, however earlier is always best.

e left Louisville on our long adventure on Christmas Day 2017. The first leg of the journey took us to Chicago and after a wait of a couple of hours, we boarded our next flight that landed in Beijing, China, the following afternoon. It was a long flight, but not too long.

We crossed the international date line, so our landing in the afternoon of Dec. 26 needed to take that into account.

After three days in a wonderful Beijing hotel, we headed for the port of Tianjin, China, where we boarded the Regent Seven Seas Voyager for our big “sail,” which will cover a lot of territory in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, India and parts of the Middle East, and will eventually end up in Dubai on the Saturday after the Kentucky Derby. From there, we will fly home on Emirates Air Line just in time to start cutting grass in Kentucky.

We have had the pleasure of sailing with Regent many times in years gone by, so boarding the ship was a little like arriving at a home away from home. We knew a number of the crew members from times gone by, and we knew some of the guests as well.

As of last week’s column, we had been on the ship for over three months when we sailed in to Muara, Brunei, home of His Highness the Sultan/King of Brunei.

His full legal name would not fit on any driver’s license I know of. In short, his listed name is Hassanal Bolkiah, and he is the 29th sultan. He is a direct descendant of the first sultan, whose reign began in 1348. He is also the self-appointed prime minister of this very tiny, very rich country, where all of its citizens are well taken care of as a result of revenue derived from large oil and gas reserves.

By the way, Brunei was under the protection of Great Britain for some while but gained its legal independence from Britain in 1984 while still enjoying English protection.

Our shore excursion was titled “Panoramic Brunei,” and it mostly consisted of a three-hour drive with a few stops around Muara to see some of the major sites. We had a young tour guide who filled us in on the pleasure and benefits of living in Dubai.

She also reinforced over and over again how much she and her family liked the Sultan and approved of the way he was running the

country. It didn’t take long to really get the idea that it is a very benevolent dictatorship since the citizens receive economic support, free education that can include advanced degrees from schools in London or Australia, and free health care.

Our first stop was at Bandar Seri Begawan waterfront in the center of the downtown area.

It overlooks the Water Village across the Brunei River, where 30,000 people live in houses on stilts. The village consists of an assortment of homes, restaurants, mosques, shops and hospitals connected by wooden boardwalks.

People have lived in the Water Village for over 1,300 years, and it is only accessible by boat and water taxi. The water taxis are wild little speed boats with outboard motors that dart back and forth between the docks on both sides of the river as they look for passengers.

Our next stop was a brief one to see the prime minister’s office from afar. Remember, the sultan is the prime minister, so his office is a whopper. Even though it was Sunday, it looked like there was a lot going on.

Then, it was off to drive by the sultan’s sister’s residence. As we drove down the street, it looked just like every royal subdivision where the houses are about half the size of Opryland. The crown prince, the sultan-to-be someday, lives right across the street not more than a toss of a newspaper away (if that newspaper was delivered by a cannon.)

Not far from the royal residences is Jerudong Park, a billion-dollar amusement park that was funded by the government.

For some time, admission to the park was free until the cost of its upkeep was finally realized. One final curiosity we saw was the crystal arch at the park’s entrance, which looks like an enormous diamond ring and has a seven-ton replica of a diamond at the top.

Finally, the big treat of the day was tea at the Royal Polo Ground and Polo Club, which resembles a country club in Beverly Hills and is surrounded by stables for 100 horses and the polo grounds. We went through the main entrance and up a wide stairway with golden carpet to see the twostory ballroom. We had had dinner in that ballroom on a previous world cruise, and it looked just as elegant as before.

Back on the first floor where there is a less formal dining room, we were served lovely finger sandwiches, sweets and tea.

We bounced around a lot as we moved through the beautiful countryside and up into the mountains.

SOCIETY

Though it is an elegant place, they do have a souvenir counter where Polo Club ball caps and other souvenirs related to the sport are for sale.

It was too bad we didn’t have time to visit the Royal Regalia Museum. Visitors are free to wander through exhibits of luxurious items from the Sultan’s lavish coronation and other celebrations. Oh well. There may be another chance some other time.

Back on the ship, we had dinner with friends and then watched the evening’s special entertainment featuring Las Vegas singer/entertainer Elyse Branch.

She did a 45-minute tribute to Whitney Houston that was terrific.

Overnight, we sailed in to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. Known by the familiar name KK, there was a marked difference between this third-world city and country and our previous experience in the lap of Brunei luxury.

Rather than stay in town, we chose an eight-hour excursion to Majestic Kinabalu Park, which is a World Heritage site located 70 miles from where our ship was docked. Our coach looked modern but squeaked quite a bit; its springs must have been back at its garage. We bounced around a lot as we moved through the beautiful countryside and up into the mountains. The 14,000foot Mt. Kinabalu is located across the valley from the park and is sporadically visible as the clouds come and go.

The walk through the park’s steep, muddy trails proved to be challenging to anyone with mobility issues, and the scenery didn’t look much different than the countryside we traveled through to get there. However, it was nice and we had an interesting buffet lunch at a lodge that included a very spicy tomyum soup. Watermelon is the go-to dessert in most Asian restaurants, and the melon they served was divine.

When we got back to the ship, the captain made an announcement that our next stop, Boracay Island in the Philippines, was going to be cancelled. It seems that this resort-filled area had not lived up to some government orders to clean up their handling of sewer waste. As a result, the

water in the area is very polluted and cruise ships are prevented from going there.

This means that we will have two days in Manilla instead of one. The Filipino members of the ship’s crew are ecstatic. As many as 600 members of their families are coming to see them when we arrive, and they are coming onboard the ship. We’re so excited for them! VT

magine opening the pages of a great novel with fantastical characters and exotic places that ignite all the senses. Well, that’s probably the best analogy for what I experienced in Lexington at Keeneland on opening day, April 6, and a few other little hot spots that we will get to later in this column. For now, let’s focus on that tradition-packed racetrack known as Keeneland.

Jon Carloftis and Dale Fisher of Jon Carloftis Fine Gardens ever-so-graciously invited me to join them for opening day, and what a day it was. We felt like royalty from the moment we stepped foot onto the regal paddock, which offered us a close-up and personal view of the thoroughbreds as they were paraded through the crowd on their way to the starting gate.

The pageantry was luminous, and we felt the excitement in the air. We loved watching the fashionable crowd mingle about – the gentlemen in their Vineyard Vines bowties and the ladies amorously ogling the tote board of chapeaux (remember that’s French for “hat”) that milliner Christine A. Moore brought in from New York. This certainly sets the stage for anyone who has an affinity for thoroughbred racing, fashion and the tradition that Keeneland Racetrack has to offer.

After making our way through the paddock, we were met by Christa Marrillia, chief marketing officer for Keeneland. She escorted us to the Presidents Table in the clubhouse for a Southern-style lunch.

“Attendance was at an all-time high of 18,374, and we are excited for this spring meet,” Marillia said.

“We also host College Scholarship Day, where college students receive free admission and enter to win prizes after each race and $30,000 in college scholarships.

The spring meet is April 6 to 27 and we invite everyone to experience what we have to offer, from picnic tailgating to fine dining.”

You would have thought we were part of a celebrity’s entourage as we were stopped by just about every table of folks on the way to our seats. It seems Jon and Dale are rather popular and have deep roots in the community. They are known for giving their time and efforts to numerous fundraisers, and there are way too many to mention. These guys are humble Southern gentleman to say the least.

One member of the entourage at our table was Marianne Barnes, master distiller for Castle & Key Distillery in Woodford County.

Before we made our way to Keeneland, we were invited to take a tour of the distillery, and what an experience it was. The history is forged in the memory of Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., who founded Old Taylor Distillery which is now Castle & Key. Characterized by unique architecture, European gardens designed by Jon Carloftis Fine Gardens and spirits made with locally-sourced ingredients certainly inspire visitors to make this a bourbon destination.

Castle & Key’s gin was recently released.

Barnes said, “Our ingredients make the dif0 4 . 1 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

ference. The fact that they are locally sourced means our customers are provided with a quality product.” Don’t miss this delicious adventure. I know it’s on my list of places to return to soon.

Meanwhile, the goings on after our Keeneland visit went on well into the evening with a dinner party at historic Botherum, the home of Dale Fisher and Jon Carloftis. It was magical. No detail was overlooked, and with effortless ease, the evening delivered so many surprises. One that brought tears to my eyes was when the tallest, lankiest cowboy of a person I think I’ve ever seen, George Gatewood of Longwood Antique Woods, who broke out his harmonica and proceeded to play “My Old Kentucky Home” like you’ve never heard it before.

“Evenings like this one are special and I always like the mix of personalities that show up here,” Gatewood said. “I’m probably the jester of the party – brought in to make 0 4 . 1 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

people laugh and then tear up with nostalgia when they hear me play the harmonica.”

The next morning, the grounds at Botherum were covered with snow, but that didn’t stop us from taking the time to visit the University of Kentucky Art Museum to see the exhibition by Edward Melcarth called “Points of View.” It is a powerful exploration of talent, depicting everything from his exploration of masculinity to dramatic compositions. One of the most famous works by Melcarth, oil on canvas, “Rape of the Sabines,” is from the private collection of Steve Forbes of New York.

Music also took up a large portion of the weekend with the Louisville Orchestra’s collaborative performance of Teddy Abrams and Jim James at the Kentucky Center for the Arts on April 7. The performance was eloquent, innovative and a smash hit of a jam session. James’ vocal range is astonishing with his healing lyrics accompanied by Abrams’ conducting style. It certainly was a

world premiere, and I for one am grateful to have attended. There were loyal fans from all over the country that made the trek to witness this performance.

LO celebrated its 80th anniversary the next evening by hosting an intimate, four-course dinner at Butchertown Grocery created by chef and owner Bobby Benjamin.

The evening was a delight to the senses as the dinner was paired with an excellent selection of wine, bourbon and cocktails.

Benjamin commented, “It’s our honor to support the arts with LO and create this dining experience.”

After dinner, there was a private concert upstairs at Lola lounge presented by great friends and collaborators, Teddy Abrams and Storm Large. Large is a smoldering vocalist, and the two were absolutely charismatic to watch. LO is certainly casting a visionary ray of light onto our community through the eyes of Teddy Abrams along with prominent supporters and everyone at the orchestra. VT 53

A Q&A with Jefferson County Clerk Bobbi Holsclaw

T

he Jefferson County Clerk’s Office recently announced the purchase of new election equipment for voters to use in the upcoming primary election, which will take place on May 22. To learn more about the equipment and what Louisvillians need to know before they head to the polls, we spoke with Jefferson County Clerk Bobbi Holsclaw.

Is it too late to register to vote in the primary election?

New registrations, address changes or name changes must be made no later than April 23, 2018 for the May 22, 2018 primary election.

What other information should voters be aware of before May 22?

The nearly 600,000 registered voters in Jefferson County will soon be casting their ballots on new and improved federally-certified voting systems known as the DS200 and ExpressVote with voter-verifiable paper audits. Sample ballots are available on the Jefferson County Clerk’s website at www.jeffersoncountyclerk. org/WhereDoIVote

What features are included in the new equipment?

The ExpressVote utilizes a variety of functions to ensure election data and votes cast records are secure. After all selections are made, the system produces a verifiable paper record for each ballot. The DS200 tabulation equipment includes physical security features and other safeguards that help protect sensitive data and verify authenticity.

What other services are offered by the County Clerk’s office?

As the chairwoman of the Jefferson County Board of Elections, I play a key role in the conducting of elections. All petitions for candidates for elective county offices are filed with the Clerk’s Office and I conduct the drawing for ballot positions. I am responsible for printing ballots, canvassing the votes at primary and general elections and, along with other Jefferson County Board of Election board members, certify Election Day votes to the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Through our Legal Records Division, we collect delinquent real estate taxes and assist the public in retrieving, researching, copying and viewing legal documents such as: business names, corporations, deeds and mortgages, executive orders, name changes, wills, liens and releases. We record and index all legal real estate documents, including but not limited to powers of attorney, assignments and releases and fixture filing/UCC filings. We issue marriage licenses, notary commissions, special police registrations, regulated medical licenses, transient merchants permits and going out of business licenses.

We register or renew approximately 700,000 vehicles yearly through our Motor Vehicle Division. We also issue decals and plates and collect taxes on all Jefferson County motor vehicles, including motor boats. Additionally, we issue permanent and temporary disabled parking permits and file liens on titled collateral. We have eight motor vehicle branch offices for your convenience. VT

My goal as your as your County Clerk is to conduct honest and fair elections in all areas I am responsible for and bring every resident of Jefferson County VIP service.

Race proceeds benefit the Louisville Zoo, which is dedicated to its mission of bettering the bond between people and our planet.

A University of Kansas provost with extensive academic and business experience has been selected as the next president at the University of Louisville.

UOFL NAMES KANSAS PROVOST NEELI BENDAPUDI AS 18TH PRESIDENT

Neeli Bendapudi, Ph.D., provost and executive vice chancellor at the University of Kansas, was selected after a months-long search that drew more than 50 candidates from across the nation. The UofL Board of Trustees approved her appointment at a special meeting Tuesday, April 3. She is expected to start at UofL on May 15.

“We conducted a thorough search for a dynamic, proven leader who would help reenergize the university and serve as a strong, visible advocate not only for UofL and our students, faculty, staff and alumni, but for the City of Louisville and for higher education throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky,” said J. David Grissom, chairman of the UofL Board of Trustees. “We found that person in Dr. Bendapudi. Her academic credentials are impressive, her leadership skills are outstanding and her enthusiasm is both undeniable and contagious.”

“I am deeply honored and truly excited to join the Cardinal family,” said Bendapudi. “I have seen the great spirit and graciousness of this community on bold display throughout the search process, and Venkat and I are truly excited to call Louisville home. I am looking forward to working with our students, staff, faculty, alumni and community – as one team – to deliver on our promise of excellent higher education. I know we have a bright future ahead at UofL.” Bendapudi has held her current position since May 2016. She previously had served as the Henry D. Price Dean of the School of Business at Kansas since 2011.

Prior to her tenure at KU, she taught at The Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business, where she rose from 56

assistant professor in 1996 to full professor in 2008.

She was also an assistant professor of marketing at Texas A&M University.

A member of the American Association of Universities, the University of Kansas has an enrollment of more than 28,000 students and an operating budget of almost $1.3 billion. As KU’s provost, she oversees more than 11,000 employees, 12 schools and colleges and a budget of about $698 million.

As School of Business dean, she increased undergraduate enrollment in the school by 62 percent, improved undergraduate job placement from 55 percent to 77 percent, implemented significant curriculum changes in both the undergraduate and MBA programs and oversaw almost $200 million in fundraising for the school.

An outstanding instructor, she has received many department, college, university and national teaching awards, including the Academy of Marketing Science Outstanding Marketing Teacher Award.

Bendapudi also has significant business experience, including service as executive vice president and chief customer officer for Huntington National Bank in Columbus, Ohio. She has consulted with many national and international companies, including Cardinal Health, Cessna, Cintas, Nationwide Insurance, Procter & Gamble and Wendy’s, among others.

A frequent speaker on marketing with a concentration on consumer behavior in service contexts, she has appeared on CNBC and NPR and has been featured in media outlets including The New York Times.

Bendapudi, 54, is married to Venkat Bendapudi, senior lecturer in KU’s School of Business. Their daughter, Sirisha, and son-in-law, Kyle Ladd, live in Chicago.

One of Louisville’s most distinctive road events, the course takes participants “throo” the Zoo – past some of their favorite animals and exhibits. The start and finish lines are just outside the Zoo gate, but along the way, participants will be able to see bears, lions and giraffes. The chip-timed course is open to runners and walkers at all fitness levels, including guests with strollers.

“Norton Audubon Hospital is excited to be part of Throo the Zoo’s 25th anniversary,” said Jon Cooper, chief administrative officer at Norton Audubon Hospital. “Not only is the Zoo one of our neighbors in the Audubon community, but also a wonderful asset to our region. As a hospital organization, we value the great benefits of exercise and family fun the Zoo offers.”

To celebrate the event’s 25th anniversary, the Zoo has teamed up with race sponsors and community partners to offer 25 days of giveaways leading up to the May race. Twice weekly, the Zoo will be announcing a randomly drawn winner on the Louisville Zoo Facebook page. Anyone registered for the race is eligible to win; the earlier participants sign up, the more chances they have to win.

Along with entry into the 25 days of giveaways drawings, race registration fees also include a commemorative cotton t-shirt, post-race refreshments, entry to win door prizes and free Zoo admission and parking on race day. Race participants also have access to discounted tickets for family and friends to join them in a post-race visit to the Zoo. New this year for the 25th anniversary: finishers will receive a commemorative race medal.

Registration starts as low as $30 for this important Zoo fundraiser and can be completed online at louisvillezoo. org/throo.

A pre-race party will be held on May 11 at Whole Foods located at 4944 Shelbyville Road. Pick up your race packet and t-shirt and enjoy some great store savings from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Whole Foods will offer special beer tastings and samplings from 5 to 7 p.m. during the party.

New for 2018: racers unable to attend the event on May 12 can register for the Zoo’s virtual Throo the Zoo race. The virtual race option allows guests an opportunity to complete the 5K distance on their own at a date, time and course of their choosing. Participants will be mailed a commemorative race bib and finishers medal allowing them to be part of them fun no matter where they race! Virtual race registration also includes entries into the 25 days of giveaways drawings.

Throo the Zoo is presented by Norton Audubon Hospital with additional support by Aquafina, Outfront Media, Heine Brothers, Whole Foods, USA Image, Swag’s Sports, Trader Joe’s, New Balance, Louisville Water Company, Total Body Chiropractic and Home Fit Personal Training.

BROWN, DR. ROBERT JEFFREY Dr. Brown was born June 7, 1927 at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan. It was on or about that day that Charles Lindbergh was given a ticker tape parade.

His childhood was spent in New York City. At an early age, the family moved across the Hudson River to New Jersey.

He attended Union College, Rutgers University, and then the University of Louisville. There he met and married Diana Parket.

They were together for 64 years and had two loving daughters.

After graduation from the University of Louisville in 1950, he attended the Chiropractic Institute of New York and earned his doctor of chiropractic degree in 1954. In 1958, he was qualified to sit for the Maryland Board

of Homeopathic Examiners and was granted his MD degree in homeopathic medicine.

Later, through a friend and colleague, he became interested in Oriental medicine and received certification in clinical acupuncture by Logan University. He practiced holistically with emphasis on spinal therapy, clinical nutrition and medical acupuncture.

He will be sorely missed. In accordance with his wishes, there will be no service.

In lieu of flowers, Dr. Brown would be most honored by any contribution to Logan University, 1851 Schoettler Road, Chesterfield, MO 63017, Attn: Development/Memorial Donations/ Medical Acupuncture Program.
