A Way of Life

February 2, 2015


Coach Bill Powell has been swimming for 67 years. He learned when he was 8 while living on an island off the coast of Michigan. Ever since then, swimming has been a lifelong career. He spent most of his career as the head coach of the Western Kentucky University swim and dive team, where he later had the school’s natatorium named after him. He has touched the lives of many by sharing his passion of swimming with the people in his life. – By Kreable Young

MOUNTAIN WORKSHOPS

Since 1976, the Mountain Workshops has been gathering stories of our shared history. This unprecedented visual collection of a rich past reveals the everyday life of the people and places that make our Commonwealth unique and truly, one-of-a-kind.

We believe in the power of human connection through storytelling, and we create and preserve a valuable cultural archive of Kentucky life.
