Jackie Browning Park City High School - Class of 1970 Jackie B. Browning was born in Danville, Kentucky on March 25, 1952, where he lived until he was five years old. His father, Ed Browning, took employment with the Corps of Engineers and therefore moved his family to Buckhorn, Kentucky. While the entire family cherished the friendships made there, Jackie’s parents were concerned with the level of education the boys were receiving in the small mountain community. The Corps of Engineers had announced the construction of Barren River Reservoir, and Mr. Browing applied for a transfer. In 1965, his family relocated to Barren County (Even so long ago, they were impressed with Barren County Schools). In December 1956, Jackie enrolled in 8th grade at Park City where he excelled in baseball, football, basketball, and academics, graduating at the top of his class in 1970. In the fall of 1970, he entered Western Kentucky University with aspirations to coach and teach chemistry. In 1971, he married his high school sweetheart, Debby Jones. While attending WKU, Jackie began a long career at Farmers Rural Electric. From 1972 to 1988. he held positions as Engineering Aide (filling water coolers each morning), Assistant Staking Engineer, and Staking Engineer. In 1982, Jackie was approached by J.B. Galloway, CEO of Farmers, and asked to pursue a major in engineering; he re-enrolled at WKU, working full time and raising his family. In 1983, Jackie supervised the conversion of the Cooperative’s data processing system to an in-house system and was named System Engineer and Manager of Data Processing. He earned his Engineer in Training Certification in 1983 and then achieved the distinction of Professional Engineer. After 16 years of diligent work, Jackie was named CEO of Farmers Rural Electric in November 1988 (A long way from waterboy). 6
Christopher Royce McCoy, MD, FACS Hiseville High School Class of 1969 Upon graduation at Hiseville High School, Christopher attended Georgetown College and graduated in 1973 majoring in Biology, Magna Cum Laude. He then attended University of Louisville Medical School graduating in 1978, Internship at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Covington, KY in 1979, Surgical Residency at Henry Ford Hospital from 1979-1983, and Fellowship Vascular Surgery HFH in 1984. Dr. McCoy opened a private practice in General, vascular, thoracic surgery, GI endoscopy, and endovascular in Owensboro, KY, from 1984 to 2012. Dr. McCoy’s responsibilities include: Director Vascular Lab at Owensboro Health in 2012, staff surgeon at Mercy Hospital and staff surgeon Owensboro Health in Owensboro from 1984-2012. Clubs and Organizations – Fellow American College Surgeons Member of Kentucky Medical Associations, Southern Association for Vascular Surgery, Kentucky Vascular Society, and Society of Americans Gastrointestinal and endoscopic surgeons. Awards received – President’s Award in 2006 from Owensboro Health System, and Daviess County Medical Alliance, 30 year service award in 2008. Dr. McCoy is a member of Walnut Memorial Baptist Church involved with outreach ministry, past church bus driver, substitute Sunday school teacher, Sunday morning greeter, and past executive committee member. Lessons learned since graduation; 1. Patience is a learned skill. 2. Delayed gratification is really difficult. 3. It’s okay that not everyone agrees with you and some will openly disagree. 4. Love is the antidote to selfishness. 5. Life is short, make the most of every opportunity every day. 6. People can usually tell when you are sincere and kind. 7. Self-confidence is important but secondary to recognizing your dependence on God’s power. 8. Study the 9 fruits of the spirit realizing they are the gift of the Holy Spirit and the evidence that you are a true follower of Christ headed to heaven for eternity. My hobbies and interests include family farming at 1370 Al Shirley Road in Glasgow, visiting my sister Jill who lives in a family home in Glasgow and my brother Louis who lives in Bowling Green. Also, visiting my daughter Natalie who is a freshman at Sullivan University in Louisville. My greatest accomplishments include having a loving family, helping those regain their health survive cancer and retain their dignity in the face of death. Seeing my dad through his last 3 years of life and learning what it’s like to humble as he relinquished all human ambition and human strength and exchanged exhausted form for a perfect eternal form. My advice to a high school student moving forward is be optimistic and keep a positive attitude, seek to serve others with great empathy and caring through the skills with which you have been blessed. Be consistent and absolutely honest so you may earn the trust and respect of friends and co-workers. Work hard and take full personal responsibility for all mistakes, being quick to apologize when in error. Remember God is a source of all your strength and possessions and share with others less fortunate. Stand up for the freedoms and worthy cause you believe in help and defend the weak. Celebrate the success of others even if they are competitors. Read “The Last Lecture” written by Randy Paucsh and Jeffery Zaslow. I still attend high school reunions where I see my Hiseville classmates. 7
Tony McGuire Barren County High School Class of 1974 Anthony “Tony” McGuire is a Barren County High School graduate, class of 1974. He lives today with his wife Brenda [Mizell] McGuire, Temple Hill alum class of 1971, in Murfreesboro, TN. In October 1974, Tony began his career with McDonald’s restaurants. He worked hard, earning recognition and respect of his peers as he progressed through various management positions within three different McDonald’s franchise organizations. In 1998, Tony realized his dream of becoming a business owner as he purchased his first McDonald’s franchise location in Nashville, TN. His new company, McGuire Management Group, grew to six locations by 2013 during which time Tony received numerous awards including Ray Kroc Press on Award (1988), Leading Edge Operator Award (2001,2005, 2009, 2011), People Award (2013), Ronald Award (2013), and Stewardship Award (2016). He was widely recognized as one of the top McDonald’s Franchisees in the country. Tony led McGuire Management Group into a new era of growth beginning in 2013. He partnered with one of his sons, mentoring him as a second-generation McDonald’s Franchisee, and laying the foundation for a succession plan so that eventually McGuire Management Group would become more than just his company, it would be his legacy. Together, the father-son team grew the company to 20 total locations by 2020. In September of 2021, Tony completed the plan that he had created seven years before as he sold his remaining interest in McGuire Management Group to his son and retired so he could spend more time with his wife, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Besides spending time with their family, Tony and Brenda enjoy working around their farm and spending time with their church family. They are known to this day for their work ethic and their dedication to their “McFamily”. Their legacy continues as McGuire Management Group currently employs approximately 1,300 employees and serves approximately 8,000,000 guests per year. Tony believes that his greatest accomplishment is his soon to be 49-year marriage to his high-school sweetheart. Their family includes four children, eight grandchildren, and four great- grandchildren. His advice to today’s generation of BCHS graduates is simply to work hard, be honest, save money, and be prepared to take on whatever challenge tomorrow has in store. The Barren County Alumni are proud to recognize Tony and Brenda for their accomplishments. 8

Tim Shipley, Jr, Barren County High School - Class of 1974 The Shipley family has long been known in Barren County as a progressive and innovative farm family. Timothy Shipley III has continued to maintain that tradition for the duration of his life. Tim, son of Frances and Tim Shipley Jr., is a Barren County native who always knew he wanted to be a farmer. Following in his father’s footsteps, Tim started on the farm as soon as he could walk. As a child, Tim could be found in the fields or on a tractor helping his father. He went on to take over the majority of the farm while still maintaining his studies at Park City High School. While attending PCHS, Tim was actively involved in 4H, FFA, and baseball. He earned many achievements and awards across District and Regional levels in FFA and 4H. Upon graduating in 1974, Tim was awarded State Farmer Degree, Chapter Star Farmer, Citizens First Hall of Fame, Chapter winner in beef, swine, corn production, senior tractor driving, and record book awards. Tim was once quoted as stating “Start gradual- dont try to get too big too quick. Don’t expect to start out at the same level as your parents. Start out and grow into it.” He did just that, enhancing and operating the family’s diversified farm to owned land of 560 acres and farming over 2,300 acres from 230 original acres. While successfully growing the family farm, he incorporated as Shipley Farms in 1991. During his lifelong dedication to Barren County agriculture, he was elected into the American Angus Association, named one of the twelve Outstanding Young Tobacco Producers in Kentucky by Phillip Morris and the University of Kentucky College of Agricultire, and was awarded with the Conservation Farmer of the year as well as the first annual Barren County Farmer of the Year. Tim and other farmers in the community started the “Barren County Beef Cooperators”, co-hosted farm tours to educate Barren County youth on agriculture, and were always willing to lend a helping hand to each other. The partnerships with other community farmers not only advanced agriculture in Barren County, but created lifelong friendships. Tim has spent his life dedicated to family and farming. Tim is married to Donna J. Shipley, has four daughters, Jaime Shipley-Bale (Thomas), Jill Shipley, Jenna Shipley (Shaun), and Jessica Shipley, and 3 grandchildren: Peyton, Reagan, and Lincoln along with 2 sisters, Janine Shipley and Jo Shipley (Ernest). Tim’s hard work, dedication, and fairness has earned him numerous awards and achievements throughout the years, but the most noteworthy is that of fulfilling his childhood dream of continuing the family tradition of becoming a farmer. 10
