Letter: Two really nice people: Rollin & Pina Lee Pyles

Comment on story: Pina Lee Pyles Portrait of a remarkable lady

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Really a nice story about two really nice people--Rollin and Pina Lee.

They have both had a long and positive impact on the community including Lindsey Wilson. When Vonnie and I arrived in Adair County over 20 years ago, the Pyles were among the first to greet us, and took us on a long introductory drive around the county.

Rollin and I still have breakfast occasionally--but not often enough.

And I also very much appreciate the personality sketches and other articles Dr. Phil writes. They are among the many, many contributions he makes to Columbia and Adair County. He doctors well and selflessly and he writes well.

May God continue to bless them all.

s/George Kolbenschlag
