When the militia dispersed, Governor Isaac Shelby asked Charles S. Todd, one of his officers in the campaign, to remain in the capitol and serve as an AID-DE- CAMP on the Governor's Staff. Todd was given the rank and grade of Colonel.Early Colonels, such as Colonel Todd, actually served military roles. As times changed throughout the1800's, the title became more of an honorary one. In the late 1920's, a group of Colonels started talking about forming a formal "society". Governor Flem Sampson gave his blessings to the project. "Formulate a society to more closely band together this group into a great non-political brotherhood for the advancement of Kentucky and Kentuckians," Governor Sampson challenged the organizers. And they did. Minutes of the early meetings confirm that charitable programs were to be a central part of the organization. Social events would also play an important role. "The Kentucky Colonels" held a Derby Eve dinner in 1932 as their first event. " I strive for accuracy in my descriptions and take good pictures.
