Dr. Rowe, Sue Rowe: Pride in great accomplishments

Takes pride in accomplishments of Band all year, in this Great Trip, and salutes the "public face of much of what we have seen," Shamarie, ColumbiaMagazine.com and other local media outlets on "once in a life time opportunity"

Ed and ALL Adair Countians,

We, like so many of your readers, have been following with pride the great accomplishments of the ACHS band for several years. We want to echo the sentiments of all the others here.

Congratulations and thanks to the ACHS band members, their sponsors, and their families for all the hard work and sacrifice that made this possible.

Shamarie has been the public face of much of what we have seen recently and want to thank her. We obviously realize there are many, many more, some working quietly in the background, who have contributed to make this possible for Adair County.

We want to thank them also. We also congratulate Columbia Magazine and all the other local media outlets on their coverage of this truly "once in a life time opportunity" for the band and it's members.

Thanks!!

s/Sue and Rick Rowe, MD
