Letter lost in inbox is reminder of all-time high CM story

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

This letter to Julia Ann Pickett right after her "biography" was printed in ColumbiaMagazine (August 20, 2008). It was received right after the story was printed, but was lost in the email at the time and should have been printed then. The story, "Raising Julia Ann Pickett was a full-time, full-town chore" created more excitement than about any published in ColumbiaMagazine.com, and the letter was somehow overlooked. The Ken Conrad letter is a reminder that "Raising Julia Ann' is an account worth reading often and that Julia Ann Pickett still needs to finish the book length autobiography. -CM

I saved this until the end of the day to read and this is soo good. Your parents could have more accurately nicknamed you the Terrior of Columbia. . . Some of those names I had long ago forgotten.

But now I want to be a part of the Adair County Arts Council and have some of my ideas considered.
