Ohhh.... the pro-RU-486 irony of it all

No, no, no... the following award is not named after Appalachian Educational Communcations Corporation (WHCB 91.5 FM) President Dr. Kenneth C. Hill:

Kansas City, Missouri is where the RU-486 abortion drug manufacturer Hoechst AE (Germany) located its U.S. subsidary Hoechst Marion Roussell (HMR) after merging with a Kansas City based pharmaceutical company. In December 1998, King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (under former King CEO John M. Gregory and former President Jeff Gregory) finalized the negotiations that acquired the King Pharmaceuicals the U.S. distribution rights to Altace.

The National Right To Life Committee in 1994 organized a national U.S. boycott of all Hoechst products, including Altace.

Former King President Jeff Gregory began these Altace negotiations with Hoechst during the summer (June) of 1995.

John M. Gregory is a major contributor to both AECC (AECC offices are located within the Gregory-owned Leitner Pharmaceuticals Building) and the 2004 campaign coffers of 7th House District candidate Matthew Hill.
