Jacque Howard and Karon Baxley were recently presented with honorary Gold Certificates from the Arkansas State Board of Pharmacy to commemorate their 50 years as licensed pharmacists. “Your 50 years as a pharmacist is a commendable achievement, and your profession is better because of dedicated pharmacists like you,” wrote John Clay Kirtley, executive director of the state board. Howard has worked at Power Pharmacy her entire career, starting in 1974, and still works there three days a week while Baxley spent 14 years at Nashville Drug; 23 years operating his own pharmacy, Mineral Springs Pharmacy; 11 years and three months at Walmart; and five years at Power Pharmacy with a year and a half of semi-retirement in the count.
