Letter: Friends meet again through Reed Bros. ad

Mike Neal also appeals to Adair Countians to support Speaker Richards

Ed,

I wanted to take the time and tell how much that I have enjoyed reading your Columbia Magazine.com , As you know I travel alot and it keeps me up to date with all the news.

Recently I was contacted by an old friend whom I had not spoken with in a couple of years. The friend lives out of town and was reading your site and saw the link for Reed Brothers and got my email address.

Also, I appreciate your stories on Jody Richards and wonder when will Adair Countians ever have the chance to vote for a home town boy again?

I think it is our duty as Adair Countians to get behind him not only because he is from Adair County, but he will be a great Governor of Kentucky.

Mike Neal
