SPECIAL TRIBUTE SECTION FOR CHARLIE WALLACE IS 4/9/21

The Monroe County Herald will feature a special section next in next week’s edition (April 9) that will be a “Tribute to our Bicycle Charlie”, that will benefit a Memorial Fund being set up for Charlie Wallace, long-time paper boy, all-around helper and one of Brinkley’s most loved people.

We hope to fill the section with memories and sentiments from all those who knew and loved this bicycle-riding cowboy! We know he had lots of friends in the community and we know they’ll miss him as much as we do! He was one of our town’s beloved characters and we hope to help raise funds to place a memorial to him somewhere downtown - a statue of Charlie on his bicycle with a basket full of newspapers. We can’t think of a more fitting way to honor his memory.
