Gatewood Galbraith, a Kentucky Original

You could say a lot of things about Gatewood Galbraith, except that he was "just another politician." Galbraith, who died Wednesday at age 64, was a Kentucky original. Everyone knew him as Gatewood — as with Elvis, the last name eventually became superfluous. In fact, I'll bet if you showed most adult Kentuckians a tall, lanky silhouette of a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat, they would know immediately who it was.
