John Clay Barnett makes School Presentation
John Clay Barnett made a Revolutionary War presentation to the
fifth grade class at Coolidge Taylor Elementary School.
John hoped to create an interest in the students learning more about
their American Heritage. His program also included life on the early
Kentucky frontier and life without their I-Pods and electronic games.
John said that many good questions were asked.
Thanks to Ms. Sally Gamble, teacher and Manual swim team Mom,
for inviting John to further the student’s interest about the Revolu-
tionary War.
