  • Birds of a feather

    When David Giles moved from Florida back to Radcliff, he needed a project to keep busy, so he chose to beautify his mother’s back yard. He moved some lawn decorations, including a bird bath and bird feeder from the front yard and strategically placed them.

    Giles’ mother, Virginia Goffinet, lives in a lot adjacent to the Sav-A-Lot in Radcliff, so the view from her back porch is the side of the store. She welcomed a change.

    Sgt. 1st Class Tony Ringle has witnessed atrocities up close. He’s waded through new cultures, protected government officials and survived on the barest of necessities.

    And it all can be traced back to his thirst for adventure. A Central Hardin High School graduate, Ringle knew college was not in the cards when he left high school and he had little interest in local industries. 

    “Working in factories was not an option,” he said. “Fast food was not an option.”
