Father, sons celebrate birthdays

Blackey


My sympathy to the family of Raymond ‘Ray’ Nichols of Doty Creek. He died on Friday. Sept. 27. He was in hospice care in Hazard. Ray had cancer and had been sick for awhile.

Wendell Calhoun of Letcher had surgery in Lexington on Thursday to remove his cancer. They said they were able to remove it all, but he would have a long recovery. I wish him the best.

Happy birthday to Jeremy Hayes of Elk Creek. It was on the 25th. His son Cameron turned 5 on the 23rd and his other son Hunter turned 8 on the 27th.

Congratulations to Megan and Jimmy Hubbard of Carcassonne on the birth of their daughter. Kaylee Alexis Hubbard was born on Sept. 26 and weighed 6 pounds, 5.2 ounces and was 20 inches long.
