Born and raised in a little place called Tuff it Out, near Gray Hawk, Kentucky. Donald (Duck) Moore was one of 6 surviving children born to his parents. Working as sharecroppers the Moore family lived in a 2 bedroom house, grew what they ate, and lived off of the farm that belonged to a Mr. Tommy Hays.

Duck found a love for sports in high school and was fortunate enough to get a scholarship to go to college, where he earned his teaching degree. while working hard to pay his tuition during the Summer months.

Mr. Moore started teaching school in 1970 with American History being his favorite subject to teach, from the year 1865 up till present time. One of his proud accomplishments was coaching the boys and girls high school basket ball teams getting both to the tournament in 1974.

Retiring from his teaching career after 27 years of service, Duck drove a school bus for another 5 years the ran for the office of Jackson County Clerk. He has at this point in time held that office for 23 years and has no plans of retiring any time soon.

Healthy Habits- Duck walks, briskly for 15-20 minutes per day and watches his diet.

Words of Wisdom- Do the right thing, take care of yourself, find a good hobby, and don't run with the gang.
