JC Johnson thanks Little League Board for making things right JC Johnson writes: I had no intention to cause any embarrassment or judgment to the board or any individual on the board of the Little League. My question was directed to the Parks and Recreation board, I thought they had the new sign put up, maybe I was wrong on that. Once again I apologize to anyone who thought I had the wrong intentions. I just wanted to make things right, and thanks to the Little League board for doing that. --JC JohnsonComments re article 44851 Joe Johnson Little League Park will remain 2011-06-08 16:54:59 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

WEDNESDAY with CM, June 8, 2011 The Joe Johnson Edition on Tuesday, June 7, 2011 was an outpouring of love for a Great Adair Countian and the Adair County Little League program. Tributes to Joe Johnson are throughout the Tuesday with CM for June 7, 2011. The issue of the sign was secondary and now somewhat insignificant. The depth of love for Mr. Johnson and for the Adair County Little League program were what mattered, and the community is much, much better for it. Thanks, J.C. Johnson, for pointing out the slight, the oversight, which we've now learned was unintended, unfortunate as it was. -EW New columns and story reminders
