My alma mater @WKU Folk Studies is losing support & may have to be suspended. @WKU & WKU Potter College of Arts & Letters this program is a leader in our field,& so important especially now when work to understand & support tradition & cultural expression in both public and academic settings is critical

Lynne S McNeill, PhD says legends and myths thrive on ambiguity; "legends are stories that are told as though they are literally true -- despite having outrageous elements that make it hard to believe. The impact of the story is derived from the possibility that it is true".
