Why all the news about this local tragedy?
Some of my regular readers may wonder why I've posted so much about the Saturday's accident involving Cornelius Martin, Brooks Mitchell, Lloyd Ferguson and Bill Leachman. The fact is, these men are key business leaders in our south central Kentucky community. In that this is a local area business blog and these fine men have influenced countless businesses in our community, I felt it appropriate to link to the stories.
Though we have endured a tragic loss, I think that the positive effects of Cornelius Martin & Brooks Mitchell will be felt for a very long time. They have changed the face of Bowling Green in many ways and their efforts will leave a permanent mark on our community. Though we have lost these great men, they continue to be a part of our local business community through their positive influence during their lives.
I hope the best for their families, their employees and their friends. As we celebrate the lives of these men of honor, we should remember the pain of those who called them friend, husband and father.
