Vern Hofer of Rankin poses with an edition of the Ford County Chronicle at musician Johnny Cash’s boyhood home in Dyess, Ark. “I have met Johnny and June Cash previously, and it was pretty neat to see where Johnny grew up as a young man and at the same time didn’t have much in life,” said Hofer, whose trip later included stops in Memphis, Tenn., then San Antonio and Dallas, Texas. “If folks get to this area, they should take the time to stop in!”
