RoadTrippin' with Gen. Charles Gilbert-- Part 4: All That Chicken, Geography and the 'High Five'

When I go RoadTrippin' Through History with someone, such as in this case, Charles Gilbert, one of the things I do is go to the cemetery where he's buried and see if there are any names that pop to interest.

There are a lot of then in Louisville, Kentucky's Cave Hill Cemetery.  Here are some more:

**  COLONEL SANDERS

Well, we all know him and that chicken of his.

**  ELLEN CHURHILL SEMPLE   (1863-1932)

Geographer and advisor to President Wilson at the Versailles Peace Conference in 1919.    Helped establish Georgraph as a legitimate field of study.  First woman ever placed in the president's position of any national academic organization in the United States,   Association  of American Geographers.  

Georgraphy was my college minor.

**  DEREK  ERVIN SMITH  (1961-1996)

Starting forward for Louisville's 1980 NCAA Championship Tea, and played in NBA.  Given credit as the "High Five" creator.
