Forty-two years ago, Dr. Marilyn McMillen completed her Anatomic and Clinical Pathology residency at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. The Jessamine County native had also obtained her medical degree from the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, studying under Dr. Abner Golden and Dr. Debbie Powell in the Pathology Department. She joined Dr. Carl Strand at Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital to begin her 42-year career on September 20, 1982.

The 100th Anniversary Celebration gave many of us a chance to reflect on how Scouting has impacted our lives. My parents, church, school teachers and my Scout leaders had the greatest impact on my life.

(Nic) Berry were my Sunday school teachers at First Christian Church.
