g Let’s celebrate Big Blue pride!
lj Hey Wildcats! Welcome to the spring 2011 issue of Kmtuc/ey Alumni magazine. This is a very
lg special issue to me as we celebrate with pride Dr. Lee T. Todd, ]r. and his wife, Patsy two alums
L » - who are dedicated to serving their ahna mater. With Dr. Todd’s tenure as president of this great
l university coming to an end in]une, we are proud to feature them as our cover story 1 had a
wonderful time talking to them both about their time here the last nine and a half years. We
1   were at Maxwell Place in a room with lots of windows on a December afternoon, and as we
j talked students walked by and waved. Both President Todd and Mrs. Todd would smile and
  \ . wave back. Mrs. Todd said it happens all the time. 1 didn’t really need to ask them what they
V \ .  
{     would miss the most about being on campus. lt was pretty clear to me.
lj \ I \ ` In this issue we catch up with Bobbie Ann Mason, a renowned author who is proud to call
*x `\
Kentuclq; and UK, home. You’ll be inspired and motivated as you read about ]ames ]ohnson, a
three-time wrestling champion and sports nutritionist. And you’ll be impressed by]ames Woolery a high—powered attorney who knows
his way around complicated business deals. Check out a photo of former Wildcat coach ]oe B. Hall surrounded by many of his former
players as he is honored on the 25th anniversary of his retirement. How many former Wildcats can you name in the photo?
1t’s hard to believe that we are already into 2011. 1 know that each year has the same number of months, weeks, and days, but it sure
seems like time flies by quicker than ever. Lets be even more determined to enjoy every moment. Something that 1 certainly enjoyed
was a recent trip to Italy with the UK Alumni Association Traveling Wildcats program. We visited the Amalh Coast, and it was simply
fabulous. This was my Hrst trip with our travel program and it was better than 1 could have dreamed. 1 want to say "Thank you!” to my
fellow Wildcat travelers who made the trip even more spectacular. As you can imagine, 1 took tons of photos and share just a few with
you in this issue. The photo below was taken by fellow Traveling Wildcat Pat Hill. Hope you enjoy!
With Pride in Blue,
Kelli Blam
