Dear Editor,

I would like to give a special thanks to a few people in town for their help to help me with collecting bottle caps for “Miss Kesha” (she goes by Kiki), out of San Antonio, Texas, in her fight with Leukemia. Just this summeralone they managed to collect over 200 pounds of bottle caps, and over half of them came from us here in Pea Ridge, Ark.

Special thanks for a HUGE number of caps to Andrea Ricketts, April Smith, Amber Coulson, Alice Crabtree, Andrea and Ashtyn Mondy, Judy Lee, Arvest Bank and everyone that brought me caps this summer.

Thank you, KARA D. HOWARD Pea Ridge, Ark.
