THANK-YOU CAMPAIGN: Jill and Randy King (center), owners of Kings Christian Bookstore in Boone, Iowa, presented a thank-you card with more than 200 signatures from local residents in late March to Boone Fire Chief Ed Knight. The couple, who opened their 2,000-square-foot store last June, encouraged people to visit their store to sign the card for the Boone firefighters to show appreciation for their efforts in a Feb. 3 fire that destroyed three downtown businesses. Randy King was a volunteer firefighter for 10 years as well as a paramedic for a local hospital for 10 years. “Many people who had never been in the store ... came in specifically to sign the card,” Jill King told Christian Retailing. “People from neighboring towns came in and signed the card. ... Fire departments from other towns also came to help.”
