Great Storytellers I Have Known
When it comes to great storytellers much can be said for Yavapai County, home of Gail Gardner and up the road a piece, this guy:
Yes, Marshall Trimble has been Arizona's official state historian for the past 35 years. And, although he retired this year from True West, where he wrote the very popular column Ask The Marshall for the past 25 years, Marsh—as we affectionately call him—has kept us in stitches for decades. For example, I thought my school was small, but Marsh informed me his school was so small they had driver's ed and sex ed in the same car! Damn, that's pretty small.
Marsh also has many stories about the folks from his home town, for example, he likes to say "you know you're in a small town when you dial a wrong telephone number and wind up talking to someone for 30 minutes anyway, or when yhou move across town and don't have to leave a forwarding address. In a small town, when you have an emergency, all you have to do is step out on the front porch and hollar, '911,' and first responders arrive immediately. A small town is where everybody knows who the father of the pups is, and everybody whose checks are good and whose husbands aren't."
We co-wrote this book which was a hoot-and-a-half:
