BEA'S BOYS

Lodging for University of Kentucky students in the 1950’s was extremely difficult to find. And, the only alternative for some of them was to sleep inside of their cars. After a few nights of maximized discomfort, I chose to be a renter of one bed, a table, a table lamp and a sitting chair at Bea’s Rooming House at a reasonable rate of 7-dollars per week. In certain respects, it was the best decision of my life. But, in some other respects, maybe I should have stayed in the car.
