LETTERS: HONOR FOR NAETERS IS A FITTING TRIBUTE

To the editor:

I was most pleased to read that the Missouri Press Association will induct Fred and George Naeter into the distinguished ranks of the Newspaper Hall of Fame.

How very fitting it is that they receive this prestigious honor. It gives me great pleasure to have known the Naeters for such a long time.

I had the opportunity to visit with the Naeters at their home above the Southeast Missourian. Fred Naeter was always happiest when he could talk at great lengths. He had many desires and wishes for his accomplishments. Many were granted, as we all know. I gained much knowledge by just listening and talking to him.
