    1. [GORIN] NEAT NEWSPAPER ARTICLE
    2. Sandi Gorin
    3. A friend of mine, Ray Green of Glasgow (in FL for the winter) found this newspaper article that I'd somehow missed. It was from the Glasgow Weekly Times, 2 Feb 1928. "Group Pictures of the old and new Temple of Justice. The Times has just come into possession of (a) photo of the old and new Barren county courthouses. Originally, it belonged to the Gorin family, of this city, and was loaned The Times for display. Barren county has had five courthouses, and three stood on (the) corner where the Christian church is now located. The present courthouse was erected in 1896 at the cost of only $40,000, and succeeded the one erected in 1888, which was subsequently razed. Grounds surrounding the present structure, as well as site, were given the county by the famous Gorin family, of this city, of which Miss Annie Gorin is (the) only direct descendant now living in Glasgow." I've seen a newspaper copy of this picture and had no idea it once belonged to the family. The Christian Church cited was at the corner of Race Street and Washington Street; later, when the church moved out by my house on North Race Street, it became the Glasgow Recreation Building. It was recently sold again and now belongs to Glasgow Baptist Church of which I'm a member, for youth activities, Hispanic ministry, etc. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas - thanks for the cards and emails, they mean a lot! Happy New Year one and all, Sandi
