Merry Christmas Columnists 2013

Every year at this time I like to include photos of those who write regular columns for the Gazette, and this year is no different!  It’s good to put faces with names and words.  Besides, sometimes you can tell a book by its cover or a newspaper by its columnists.

Tom Abts, Deer Run Golf Pro, and his friend Harvey.

Tom Stumpf, Cowboy Correspondent, and his buds Hank and Kramer.
