Anyone a Kentucky Colonel?

[MNCM]

I have been a Kentucky Colonel for 7 years now.

I am a Kentucky Colonel.

 

Me too.

[SportsGuy41017]

Yes, Actually found out yesterday when I got the mail.

I am not a Kentucky Colonel but I am a Kentucky Admiral , recieved it when my uncle was in the Ky House of Representatives and I owned a houseboat .

[Watusi]

Well, I think she is but it didn't hurt to have her "Uncle" know the right people to get the job done! BTW, if I told you who her Uncle was (and I won't) and who he worked for (and I won"t), you would understand!

I was just having some fun with you TOG. Those guidelines are pretty loose and I didn't really think anything of it. :thumb:

^ Is the SK for Simon Kenton?

 

Yes it is. the wife and I moved to Independence 2 years ago and our kids will be at Sinon Kenton, but not for a long time. Our oldest is only 4 and our second is on the way. I heard my uncle is a colonel, but just a rumor from my cousin not sure if he really is. I am going to talk to him today to find out and ask about nominating me to join. If he isn't really a Colonel maybe a fellow BGP'er could nominate me!!

Been a Colonel for a number of years....I'm thinking about driving around with a license plate telling the world that I am one...NOT....couldn't anyway...live in Indiana now....darn!!!!

[KentuckyJoe]

It turns out my uncle is NOT a Colonel. I would really appreciate it if anyone who is would be willing to nominate me. Feel free to PM me if you would be willing to. It would mean a lot to me. Please let me know, thanks!!!!!!!

Once a colonel always a colonel? I used to be one but have not gotten anything from them lately? Am I still a colonel?

Yes, once you have been awarded the certificate from the Governor commissioning you as a Kentucky Colonel, you are always a Colonel. There are many people that are Colonels, but the true distinction are from the people that participate in their Good Works program and being members of the Honorable Order. If you have not received anything from them in a while, contact them. I found this on their website.

 

I was commissioned as a Kentucky Colonel and I never receive anything in the mail like other people do?

Please contact: Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels Headquarters, 1717 Alliant Ave., Ste. 14, Louisville, KY 40299. We'll make every effort to correct this oversight. You may also email members@kycolonels.org.

I've been a proud Kentucky Colonel since 1976, commissioned by Julian Carroll.

 

I purchase the Ky Colonels licence plate.

 

Get invitations to, but rarely attend their functions. Send them a $25 annual donation to remain in good stead with the Honorable Order.

I'm not a KY Colonel, but if I were, I think I probably would go for the license plate were it not for the ugly mustard color of it...

 

 

Why not go for pretty much any other color?

glad this thread is still going, but will someone nominate me??

[bulldog77]

Yes and quite proud and honored. But when I combine the title with the last name . . . well, we won't go there.
