Murray State’s department of journalism and mass communications has spent the spring semester preparing to send off Robert Valentine, who has been an instructor in Wilson Hall since 1974.
Valentine explained his move from New York to Kentucky was not a linear decision. After bouncing around the nation for business opportunities for his father, the Valentines eventually wound up in Bowling Green, Kentucky for a while.
“We got here at the end of my fourth grade year,” Valentine said. “I graduated high school in Bowling Green.”
