Shades of Ed Poe And a Treynor Editor Remembered
A fragmented verse dream opens this column with a Turkey head image before shifting to a tribute to Emmett Butler, longtime Treynor small-town editor. The piece honors his fiery independence, community service, and impact through “Popoffs” and local efforts with the Red Cross and fire department. It also touches on editorial style and the challenges facing independent papers, then hops to light notes about Euell Gibbons, highway costs, and other playful asides.
