Jay Fletcher, Staff Writer/Reporter
Jay Fletcher is an unconventional reporter with a background that will make you cringe.
Molested at just five years old and then violently abused until he was 11 years old, Fletcher sought escape through drugs and alcohol for 40 years before he had children.
That revelation caused him to turn his life around.
Well, that and an almost fatal encounter with a drug addicted dishwasher at the NOLA restaurant in Indianola.
Fletcher arrived in the south because a failed relationship resulted in a pregnancy, and a life-altering journey to be a better person.
The story is far from over, but the rest of it won't be disclosed here.
If Mr. Fletcher could impart one message to whoever might encounter this, it would be this;
Nothing, and I do mean nothing, can stop you from realizing your dreams, and anything is possible through our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
God bless you and keep you.
