Our annual retreat was another great success. The McConnell Scholars once again proved themselves to be among the most talented and interesting young people in the Commonwealth. From penetrating questions for our guests to long and late-night sing-a-longs, McConnell Scholars are always good for some entertainment and enlightenment.
We heard some great mountain music and enjoyed our visit with Daniel Boone. We hiked to Chain Rock and in the Cumberland Gap. We visited the 'historic' Thomas Walker house. We talked about James Still and his novel, The River of Earth. We swam. We hiked. We talked. We reconnected with one another. We visited with Senator McConnell who honored us with his honesty, advice and good humor. And, we prepared for another great year of intellectual and personal exploration at the McConnell Center.
Thanks to Sherry Allen, Tina Talley, Aaron Vowels, and Glypie Grider for making this retreat yet another success.
I wish everyone a really terrific year.
