The Carthage Press hit the right note with today's feature on former Jasper Mayor Fred "Doc" Krusekopf, who died Wednesday. As I have noted in two earlier posts, the Joplin Globe ran only the paid obituary, continuing its company tradition of taking advantage of death to make a profit. Of course, The Press also ran a paid obituary of Krusekopf, but they also recognized the news value of Dr. Krusekopf's death.
Thank you for your thoughtful comments on the passing of "Doc" Krusekopf. Irregardless of your politics, "Doc" served the folks of his area well and deserved that recognition and respect.
ReplyDeleteDr. Krusekopf was a major influence in our son being a DVM today. I'll always remember his excitement after going to MU to see the vet school,staying at Dr Krusekopf's father's home, and just being around Doc.
