Tichenor, Carroll and Doris.

Carroll (b. 1927) and Doris (b. 1931) Tichenor - activists, outdoor enthusiasts, and partners - fought to ensure the preservation and protection of the natural environment from the late 1960s through the early twenty-first century. They were instrumental in the formation of the first Kentucky chapter of the Sierra Club and in the organization of the protest march, led by Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, which gave the chapter much of its early energy, and Carroll later became president of the chapter from 1970-1971. The Tichenors remained active in the organization throughout the later half of the twentieth century, and in the early twenty-first century successfully prevented the construction of an electrical transmission line across their family farm, which would have damaged the land and disturbed historic sites on the property. Carroll and Doris have two children, a daughter Karen, born in 1955, and a son, Annis, born in 1956.
