Question: What’s more prolific: a pig or a cow?
Answer: A pig because it makes more babies.
Perhaps Daniel Webster would have chosen a different way to illustrate the word prolific. But for the students of Gary Farley’s special education program at Clinton County High School, the illustration makes the definition clear. His competency as a teacher has earned him the respect of his peers and students. At home, Farley exudes the same affection and playfulness around his children, Melanie and Joshua, and wife, Doris, who is a third-grade teacher at Albany Elementary School.
When he’s not teaching, Farley works at the Fish Tales guide service on Lake Cumberland. He started the business about five years ago and gets help from partners Tony Campisano and Joe Campbell. Tomorrow may be the day Farley starts writing his book about fishing or introduces his play to the school board for “practical experience” classes at the high school.
Whatever it is, Farley will undoubtedly face it with a pleasant grin.
