Here is Amber’s sweet letter about her husband:
I love my husband Ken more than words can convey, and I would love this opportunity to share it with your listeners. Since our small wedding 24 years ago, he’s worn (and loved) a slim, gold wedding band. Like his ring, we show our age more now. We are not as shiny as we once tried to be, we are a little mishapen around the middle, and have some weak spots. He’s not a flashy man, but he deserves more. As an essential worker in the electric department who never missed work during the pandemic and put in crazy hours during the derecho, only to come home to an 85 degree powerless house with storm damage of its own – he never once complained. And he would never complain that his ring has seen better days, nor would he want to spend money on a replacement. This contest is an amazing opportunity to show him how much I appreciate all he does for me, for our family, for his job, and for our community. Every time he looks at it he would be reminded of my true and undying love for him and the fact that I wanted to shout it out to all of Kix country.
UPDATE: Doris was able to get a hold of Amber!!

In Theaters this weekend: ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’
Avatar: Fire and Ash picks up after The Way of Water and dives into darker territory, introducing a more aggressive Na’vi tribe tied to fire and volcanic regions. It cranks up the conflict, explores moral gray areas, and shows Pandora is a lot less peaceful than we thought.
