We need your Doc Stories

Those of us who have roamed the hallways of Wilson Hall or the eighth floor of the Fine Arts Building from the 1970s to the 2000s hold many fond memories of the one and only Doc. 

Whether we were the recipients of one of his Atta Boy awards or a Doc Hot News Tip or we were invited to sit with him at his Paducah office at Bluegrass Downs, we know that smile and larger-than-life personality that embodied Doc. And we all have stories. Lots of stories. 

If you have a story about how Doc influenced you, we want to help you tell it and remember the man, the legend, the one and only Doc. Send your stories to (Google Form) for consideration in a future issue of the JMC Journal.
