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.
