The reader who picks it up will get a pickup of pleasure from its observations of life and living." ' -Nan Snow and Dorothy Stuck, authors, Little Rock "Your idea of combining three people's columns, plus the use of side-bar comments, is unique. You have put together a 'good thing'-the writing hints at the end are a marvelous teaching tool for creative writing instructors or for just 'wannabees' like me." -Myra Moran, specialist in Arkansas books, Rogers "It turns out that the best material for community newspaper columns generally isn't a weighty national subject; rather, the best material covers matters that are often close to the hearts of the writers. . . l'm sure you'll find these writers are speaking from their hearts." -Kent Marts, Benton County Daily Record editor, Bentonville "This is a collection of most informative and readable newspaper columns. What makes this collection particularly important is that the reader gets to know and understand the writers through accompanying commentary.
