I gasped and was saddened to read this although I did know it was coming eventually. I admit I have slacked in writing him lately and I feel terrible because of letting life get in the way of writing a few lines to make his day a bit brighter. I am putting pen to paper tonight. Who will join me?

Attorney General Chris Koster has announced in a press release that the Missouri Supreme Court had granted the State’s motion to set execution dates for Allen Nicklasson and Joseph Franklin, both of whom have exhausted all appeals in their death sentences. The Court has set Nicklasson’s execution for Oct. 23, 2013, and Franklin’s execution for Nov. 20, 2013.
