I m among that fortunate group of Arkansans who read Mike Trimble s stories and columns in the Arkansas Gazette. Running out to the driveway to pick up that morning s Gazette was part of my routine as a boy growing up in Arkadelphia. The Gazette s "Arkansas Traveler" column was one of the first things I read.
