Carolyn Gray Hammond Library Fund

Carolyn Gray Hammond (1945 - 2001), class of 1967, has been honored many times over for her impact. She earned her master's degree in library science in 1978 from the University of Kentucky. She served as a teacher and librarian for over 23 years in the area school systems.

Bob Rowland wrote, "Her friendship was a source of strength for all of us. Her love for kids, school and learning made us all especially proud of our profession. We are truly better people having been her colleague and friend." [15 April 2001]
