Voices: Deserve support



Congratulations to our new mayor and Joplin’s “first lady,” Gary and Kathy Shaw.

They were in classes I taught at Ozark Christian College (formerly OBC) some 45 years ago. I was a colleague of Gary’s late mother when she worked at Ozark, and knew his father, Rollie, well.

I knew Kathy’s late father, Bill, and her mother, Katherine, was in my Sunday School class at College Heights Christian Church. These families are two of Joplin’s and Carthage’s finest people. They deserve our whole-hearted support.

Paul T. Butler

Joplin
