        My Dad, Will Counts, made a difference with a small camera and the AP wire. We all have small iCameras in our pockets. Use them vs. hate.

        Your dad was a great man. I was lucky enough to have him as a professor in 1992 at IU.

        A great man and an aces dad as well. I miss him for sure but it's cool yet horrifying to see his Little Rock work making a point......again.
