Remember Guess When? Who? By Joan C. McKinney, editor By Joan C. McKinney, editor

Last issue’s “Guess Who?” had several people guessing correctly. The winner is Becky Cassell, a 2013 graduate who is seeking her teaching certificate at CU. Ironically, she worked with Stan McKinney, the “Guess Who?” person shown in a picture from the 1980s, so it was an easy guess for her. McKinney was news editor at the Central Kentucky News-Journal when the photo was made. He is an associate professor of journalism at Campbellsville University now. Others who guessed correctly were Christina Kern (’10, M ’12 ), Gary Andrew Stinson (’08), Sheena Mays (a ’88), Brenda Veatch (’99), Karen Price (’96), Edwin McDowell (’75), Tracy Lewis, Nancy Loyall and Phil Allan Bertram. This issue’s “Guess Who?” is a picture from a play in 1959 in the Alumni Chapel. The winner of the “Guess Who?” will receive a T-shirt chosen in a random drawing within 10 days after we receive the Campbellsvillian in our mailbox.
