Well with visiting dignitaries, check presentations, and several other annoucements we left our speaker only a brief period for his program. Elvin Smith Jr. did not seem to be perturbed and had a slide show on Civil War movements in the Bowling Green area especially around Lost River Cave. Elvin is a retired school teacher and is researching a book on the Civil War and Lost River Cave. He showed slides of an upper room in the cave off limits to the public that has the names of Civil War soldiers written on the ceiling. He has been able to determine who some of these men were, what happened to them and even had some photos of a few.
The crowd was mesmerized with Elvin's presentation and our President Shannon Morgan wisely let Elvin finish his remarks. This took us to about ten minutes past the hour but I think we were all glad that we got to see the whole program. It was fabulous and one we will long remember.
