What IF I outlive my money?
For many individuals nearing retirement, the idea of budgeting can be a daunting task. After
all, without a steady job and paycheck, how can they be sure that they are saving enough
money to live comfortably during the decades after retirement? This troublesome question is
often answered with the simple investment choice of a lifetime income annuity. The lifetime
income annuity offers an easy way for retirees to ensure that they receive a monthly stipend
of cash that they can use throughout their retirement.
At Salomon & Co., we believe that your retirement years should be comfortable and
reasonable. Whether it includes travel, volunteering, or spending time with family and
friends, you’ll need income to support the retirement lifestyle you’ve always imagined.
That’s why we offer Lifetime Income Annuity products - to help you enjoy independence in
your retirement, with the realization that your retirement income could last as long as you
live.
For a confidential, no obligation consultation, to review these and other planning techniques
to assist you and your retirement objectives, please call us at (859) 266-0012.
Disclosure: Variable annuities are long-term, tax-deferred investment vehicles designed for retirement purposes and contain both an
investment and insurance component. They are sold only by prospectus. Guarantees are based on claims paying ability of issuer.
Withdrawals made prior to age 591/2 are subject to I 0% IRS penalty and surrender charges may apply. Gains from tax-deferred
investments are taxable as ordinary income upon withdrawal. The investment returns and principal value of the available sup-account
portfolios will fluctuate so that the value of an investor ’s unit, when redeemed, may be worth more or less that their original value.

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

Presidential Conversation
With appreciation to my — and UK’s — first lady
It is always awkward to read about yourself (I suggest it is something to which our new president
better become accustomed). It is infnitely more awkward to write about yourself
I·Iaving said that, I hope you take some time to read the feature about me and my wife, Patsy in this
· · issue of Kentucky Alumni magazine. I don’t suggest this so you can learn more about me — my sense
` » is that after 10 years youve heard plenty from me! But I hope you learn a little more about Patsy and
____ how she has served her alma mater with distinction over the past decade. It is not easy being the Hrst
( - lady at the University of Kentuclqz In many ways, that position is tougher than the one I held. She
" must contend with long days that feature plenty of night and weekend meetings, and that post is very
l much in the public spotlight. She does all that without getting paid!
_ I didn’t write this so you feel bad for Patsy You shouldn’t — she would tell you that this has been
1 the thrill of a lifetime. I simply say those things so you can appreciate — as I certainly do — how
_. much she has meant to this administration. I could not have done it without her, and I wanted
‘ " ‘ publicly to thank her for her support and encouragement over these years.
One initiative in which Patsy and I will stay engaged after we leave our respective positions is the Presidents Scholarship
Initiative (PSI). I knowI would not have achieved my dreams if not for academic support. I received some small scholarships
that supported my undergraduate education, and I received a fellowship from the Hertz Foundation that allowed me to earn my
masters and Ph.D. from MIT.
Scholarships help level the playing Held for students, regardless of their background or Hnancial standing. All too often Hnancial reasons
can result in a person not attending college.
As Kentuclqrs flagship, land-grant university I believe it is incumbent on us to offer the Hnest education to every capable and promis-
ing student regardless of their Hnancial situation.
That is why we launched PSI about a year ago. We wanted to ensure that a UK education remained accessible and affordable to
students from all 120 counties.
And I am proud to say our work is paying dividends.
In]uly energy service provider E.ON, parent company of E.ON US., announced that it will donate $2 million to help fund energy-
related scholarships. The will help fund scholarships in UKs recently created Power and Energy Institute of Kentucky (PEIK).
Republic Bank CEO Steve Trager announced in]uly that he was creating a scholarship program. Republic Bank decided to provide 20
four-year UK scholarships to students from the 12 Kentucky counties included in the banks network. Each Republic Bank Foundation
Commonwealth Scholarship will provide $2,500 per year in a renewable annual scholarship. In addition to funding the scholarship pro-
gram, Steve Trager hosted a lunch this fall to encourage fellow Louisville business leaders to support the Presidents Scholarship Initiative.
In December, ESPNs Scott Van Pelt appeared at Rupp Arena during the annual UK-Indiana University mens basketball game to pro-
vide the PSI with a $100,000 donation. Last March Madness, I·Iewlett-Packard Co. (I·IP) and ESPN launched the Amazing 16 contest
to Hnd which school in the Sweet 16 had the most enthusiastic fans. Big Blue Nation stepped up to the challenge and won $100,000 for
the university
I certainly thank all of those who have supported UKs Presidents Scholarship Initiative over the past year, and I look forward to
partnering with you to provide our next generation the greatest gift of all: The opportunity to receive aworld-class education from the
University of Kentucky
For more information about the Presidents Scholarship Initiative, please contact the UK Office of Development by calling
800-875-6272 or logging on to its website, wwwukyedu/psi/
