I regret I didn’t thank Janice Frederick enough for the work she did in the important early days in getting the EKU campus in Corbin and helping it get started. This morning after finding out about her death, I was talking to some ladies who told me, “Janice was an unsung hero in the history of getting EKU to Corbin and in working hard to make it a success.” They explained that many people just don’t realize her valuable contributions to this cause.
It was ironic when I heard this from these ladies because last night (Thursday) I was talking to two gentlemen from a State Education Group at a meeting in Lexington and one of them asked me, “Who was the lady who worked so hard in the early days in getting EKU off the ground in Corbin? Can you get us her name because we want to talk to her about her ideas in another project we are working on?” I told them, “I would bet it was Janice Frederick and I will get you in contact with her.” Now I will have to call and tell them she has passed away.
When I drive past the EKU campus in the future, I will remember Janice and what a wonderful and kind person she has been for her family, EKU, and our community.
