Get out to Fairfax and cheer on our local athletes.

The Atchison County Mail has been in only two families in its 141 years of existence. We lost another member of our newspaper family with the passing of John Henry Cox. John Henry was never afraid to say what was on his mind and it was that quality about both he and my father that I admired. I can only imagine what Kimosabi and SOB are saying right now about our current political climate. Rest in peace, John Henry. -30-
