One of Pike Countyâs longest tenured public servants recently wrapped up over 45 years of work in the community.
Blaine Beekman has entered retirement, a state he sarcastically called âperfectâ, because there isnât much to do these days but turn on the news and view all the chaos that is taking place.
For a man who has kept as busy for as long as Beekman has, retirement will likely be a significant change of speed, but given the broad and lasting effect he has had on his community, it is a well deserved break.
Beekman began his career as an educator- the occupation in which he says his true identity is found. His first teaching job was at Southeast Community College in Cumberland Kentucky as a Political Science teacher.
