Gary is retired from Peoples Bank & Trust Company, and Marsha is retired from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Their daughter, Mariah, is a junior at Owen County High.  Many family and friends joined them for a reception Sunday afternoon at the Monterey Baptist Church Education Building.

The melodies of a riverboat calliope drifted through downtown Owenton Sunday as dozens showed up to take their first look at the Kentucky River Room at the Owen County Historical Society Museum.
The calliope was once housed in the Cincinnati Museum Center, the vice president of the center, Dr. Tonya Matthews, said.
“The calliope was donated to our center a few years ago from a family where the father had been very interested in steam boats and calliopes,” Matthews said. “It was time to find a new home for some of that material and the museum center agreed to look for a home for it.”
