I tried sending the below message but it was rejected because I had attached the photos from the Governor's office and the file was too large. If anyone is interested in the photos, just let me know and I'll send them separately. Below is the Governor's press release anyway.

Thanks to all of you who signed our petition and who let your wishes be known. This is an amazing victory and a great day! A great day not only for members of the Boone family but also a great day to anyone and everyone who cares about not forgetting the memory of our pioneer ancestors who sacrificed so much to settle this great country! The Boone Society has worked on this project for 2 1/2 years and we are very pleased (to say the least) to have such a positive outcome. We are grateful to Representative Brent Yonts and Governor Ernie Fletcher for their hard work in getting this deal done. We also appreciate the backing and support of Congressman Hal Rogers.
