Reader expresses gratitude
MARVA JEAN ACKER Jacksonville

We would like to say "thank you" to the Cherokeean Herald for printing our anniversary announcement and for publishing the obituary for Kenneth Acker.

I would also like to commend Leland Acker for the column written in memory of Kenneth. I know he writes great columns, but this one on Aug. 15 was so perfect, so sweet and touching.

Most people don't know that the Jacksonville newspaper charged $45 for the obituary, wouldn't have run the announcement of our anniversary for less than $35, but would have run it after the event for free. It would have taken no more space to say "gonna be" than "has been," and I've been a subscriber for 10-15 years.

I appreciate the Rusk folks because I worked there. Thank you very much.
