Monday's Man

What started out as a casual hobby for Bryan Ray has evolved to a source of camaraderie, personal challenge and national recognition. The 34-year-old marksman recently was ranked No. 30 in the country for three-gun shooting and is aiming for a national title.

Sean Hall's love of soccer dates back to his teen years.

In 1990, as he graduated with the last class of West Hardin High School, he might have left the sport, after playing three years. But more than two decades later, he's still eyeing goals.

Hall, 40, has served as president of Elizabethtown Youth Soccer Association since 2009.

Now both his daughter and son play the sport.

“Both of them are eat up with soccer,” he said of his children.

A stint in the Army and a Robin Williams movie serve as the inspiration for Mick Kennedy’s desire to write poetry and teach at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College.

Originally from Clarksville, Ind., Kennedy served in the army from 1986 to 1990. During that time he got his first taste of teaching when instructing new recruits. That also was when he saw a film that made him fall in love the idea of poetry and education, “Dead Poet’s Society.”

Andre Beaugrand’s life reads like novel.

At age 90, he looked back on his life and said, “It’s been a good one.”

“A lot of things happened,” he said. “It’s almost one century.”

He began his life in France. His mother was a part of a Brie cheese making tradition of more than 360 years.

At age 19, Beaugrand fought Germans in the French underground during World War II. He and his brother snuck out of the house to join the underground and one of their friends was killed that night.
