But &#8220;next year&#8221; turned into 10 years. She was engaged to be married, and she wanted to move back to the Eastern Kentucky town of Whitesburg, where her roots are. &#8220;I was just kind of ready to move on with the rest of my life,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That mindset changed, though, after she landed a job as a community program manager for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.letchercountyfarmersmarket.com\/tanglewood-to-table.html#:~:text=The%20Tanglewood%20to%20Table%20walking,a%20fun%20and%20social%20manner.&amp;text=There's%20no%20better%20way%20to,a%20spree%20at%20the%20market!\">Tanglewood to Table Walking Program<\/a> at the Letcher County Farmers Market. Customers there receive a $10 credit if they walk a mile along a trail from a parking lot to the market and back throughout the season. It&#8217;s part of a University Kentucky health outreach program, and Blair monitors changes in their weight and cholesterol over the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thing is, she gets a sizable salary bump if she has a bachelor&#8217;s degree. So this past winter she decided to bite the bullet and make the five-hour round trip to attend classes in Lexington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the pandemic hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/12\/callie3.jpg\" alt=\"Blair at the Letcher County Farmers Market\" class=\"wp-image-15423\" width=\"262\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/12\/callie3.jpg 444w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/12\/callie3-192x350.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/12\/callie3-400x730.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/12\/callie3-164x300.jpg 164w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><figcaption>Callie Horn Blair at the Letcher County Farmers Market<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only did her daughter have to stay home for virtual learning (with no day care available), but Blair is the primary companion of her 90-year-old grandfather who lives next door, someone extremely vulnerable to COVID. She was like: &#8220;Scratch that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then history professor Gregg Bocketti reached out to tell her about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/healthy-at-transy\/\">Healthy at Transy<\/a> plan for hybrid learning at the beginning of the school year. It allowed her to take the missing Senior Seminar class, for which she&#8217;s writing a 25-page paper on pack horse librarians \u2014 women in Eastern Kentucky who during the Great Depression were paid through the New Deal to deliver books to remote locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s really been the perfect set-up for me,&#8221; Blair said. &#8220;It&#8217;s the one good thing I can think of that&#8217;s come out of all this mess.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Bocketti said he&#8217;s happy to have her back at Transylvania. &#8220;Amid the clouds and difficulties of the pandemic, the fact that the changed circumstances have allowed her to complete her degree has been a real silver lining. It&#8217;s been great to work with her again; she really shows the qualities of lifelong learning that we&#8217;re hoping to cultivate in all our students.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Callie Horn Blair, a community program manager for the Tanglewood to Table Walking Program at the Letcher County Farmers Market,
