No McCrackn County was not wild then, nor is it now. Nor is Murray, KY 
where I was a newbie campus security worker guarding doems a long time ago.
There has been a marked increase in local sleeze since the Metropolis 
gambling riverboat was put in across river from Paducah.I wish I could tell 
you different but by en large it wass quiet.The Klan had a small foothold 
there but it was an undercurrent. In 1978 my girlfriend,now wife and I were 
had "files" on us  in the ir archives.
Not to confuse issues, I would love to move back for my final years as my dad 
and my wifes parents still live there and it is peaceful. KY would have to 
dump their income tax for retirees before that happens though.  I enjoy no 
state income tax in TN too much.
