Yet Another Reason Why Akron is Great
I decided to break tradition and not do a snarky post. Akron is a great city because there are people like Jackie Figler. For years, Jackie has served as Executive Director of the Violet Cupboard, which provides services to people living with HIV and AIDS. As she prepares for retirement, we can learn from her spirit and willingness to take on insurmountable challenges.Figler was on the HIV/AIDS battlefield in the early years, when the most that could be done was to help the patient die with dignity and help stamp out the fear and ignorance of the disease that was so rampant and vile.Talk about a great role model for us all.
