Kentucky Colonel

I received my commission today as an Honorable Colonel of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Any others on here? It is a decision and appointment by the Governor of KY after a person is nominated by a previously commissioned Colonel. Happened very quickly, and so honored to be a part of a group that includes Colonel Sanders (yes thats where his title came from ) Elvis , Pope John Paul II, Roy Rodgers, Winston Churchill and many others...that uphold the tradition and values of The Great Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Next on to working at the Tennessee Squire...any one here a Squire or know one that can help me out? I do great artwork as thank you gifts

How about becoming a Missouri Squire or an Arkansas Traveler?

My grandfather is in his 90's and an amazingly accomplished man.a WWII vet, He is an Arkansas traveler , a Kentucky colonel, an Arkansas traveler, as well as an honorary Cajun , oh and he was the most eminent grand master of the knights Templar of the USA ...needless to say, he has been a lot of places. Now I can Add this to my resume as well. I even have a nice photo of my certificate as well as his certificate side by side. I know he won't be around much longer, so this is a nice thing to have that as from his doing.

MO is a high list of accomplished individuals...and takes a very high amount of prestige to accomplish, don't think I'll reach that point anytime soon!

I'm sorry, membership in THAT club ended in 1984! If there were an honorary title, Rube certainly would be one of those at the top of the list to receive it, though.
