Senator Moore and I were having a sample of Kentucky's finest corn squeezins' at the lobby bar of the Hyatt Lexington while awaiting the start of the UK/High Point game last night.
I am in total amazement at the number of people that stopped by to say hello to one of Kentucky's most popular state senators, most who are acquainted with him on a first name basis.
These well-wishers come to Kentucky games from every corner of the state:
So, Virgil was greeting a County Attorney from Northern Kentucky as well as a successful Western Ky farmer. He seemed to have many friends right there in Central Ky as well as the good basketball fans from the mountain counties.
Some retired soldiers came by to greet the decorated Viet Nam vet and retired Army officer, Virgil Moore.
A high point of the evening with the Senator Virgil Moore came when a distinguished and pronounced southern drawl of greeting came over droaning hum of the lobby crowd.
When I turned to see, it was from the old former 1970's Governor Julian Carroll that has been a friend of Virgil's for many years.
This seems to be the way of the liberty-minded Virgil Moore. He already knows and is trusted by the people of Kentucky.
This pattern goes on if he is attending a local pig roast or, a big event like the Kentucky State Fair or the Kentucky Derby.
