 Summer has arrived and Appalachian Wireless has a great sell on the world's hottest smart phone from now to the end of the month. You can get the amazing iPhone 13 for more than half off because we are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. During a Pike County fiscal court meeting Monday, members adopted a resolution to request the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Department of Highways, to rename the bridge on Miller, Kentucky, 1789 to Willie Runyon and Glenneckon's Bridge. Well, this has always surprised me, ever been at having heard the first word and it's really an honor. Born in 1932, Willie Runyon graduated from Hellyer High School in 1950 and served with the United States Air Force until 1955. For a time, Runyon worked briefly in the coal mines and fires bakery and went on his own franchise thereafter. It was in the 1970s that both Atkins and Runyon would be founding members of the Millard Volunteer Fire Department. With the funds collected, they purchased a used fire engine and miscellaneous equipment. Willie and Glenne founded the Millard Volunteer Fire Department in 1972 and to this day, it is still in operation at the same location. Whereas Willie Runyon and Glenneckons have been positive role models and mentors from members of the Millard Volunteer Fire Department. Through their tireless dedication to leadership, the Millard Volunteer Fire Department has grown substantially. The department is now Class 4 ISO rated fire department with four fire stations, six engines, four rescue units, a dive team and a trail rescue team. After the adoption, Runyon commented on influences that brought him to where he is today. Well, it means a lot to me. I've seen a lot of them come and go. One of our bests in the department, one of our bests is Rickardine Atkins. He's been a big help and it's been great having him on the board. He's a son-in-law. For Mountain Top News, I'm Jules Coyle.
