I admire the programmers that figured this out - My Democrat- Gazette is always with me - I have read these 2 papers since 1944 - I think that I learned to read fascinated with the war coverage - It has been a part of almost every day since - What a difference during 4 years of Army Service(2 in VN) it would have have made - I had a hard time finding out the Arkansas-Texas score in 1964 - But then I found a friend that was a ham operator and he found out from somebody in Japan - From SpecIal Forces Camp Plei Me near the Cambodian Border touching ARkansas meant a great deal - I have used online for years while traveling, cumbersome at first but always getting better - While I might suggest a few small changes, it is easy to use and just WELL DONE - Thank you Walter Hussman and your programmers - It has always and still is the best paper I know and I am a newspaper junkie that reads many newspapers.

Each morning of this freezing Kansas winter I get out of bed around seven thirty or eight. I make my coffee, and while it makes I start a fire in our wood stove. I pick up my iPad, pour a cup of coffee, sit down in my catnapper with my feet close to the stove and open my iPad to the new edition of the Democrat Gazette. I met my wife while attending a military school at Camp Robinson. She lived in Broadmoor at the time. I became familiar with Little Rock and enjoyed reading the Gazette every day I was there. The Arkansas Section is the best. These many years later (still married) I sit in the middle of the Kansas prairie and imagine the traffic on I 630, or the sound of the blue jays at Maumelle State Park, or the smell of Arkansas (wet wood, wood smoke and trees). I hear the traffic on Cantrell, taste Shipley donuts from the donut shop, hear the sound of running water from Rock Creek. I watch the barges going up and down the Arkansas River, I see the bright yellow street cars downtown, I see that railroad bridge at the Clinton Center. I get all of this when I read my daily Democrat Gazette. I wouldn’t want to live life without it. Thanks for the good times.Dennis FlavinEsbon, Kansas

A lifelong reader of newspapers and a 40 year subscriber to the Democrat/Democrat-Gazette, I joined the thousands who lamented the change to digital format that was inevitable. But not willing to lose what is one of the best newspapers in America, I signed up for the new technology. Well......it’s not the same. IT IS BETTER. Way easier to read with brilliant color photography, graphics, ads and extras that make the Arkansas Dem/Gaz an absolute joy. And I do the puzzles and games everyday. I don’t use the audio versions but they are there. And extras that make the difference. Thank you, Walter Hussman, and the entire staff for a dynamite performance every day! Here’s to another 200 years!

One of your appeals to your readers when you went to the digital addition was that it would allow you to retain the exceptional feature writers that have drawn my wife and me to be regular readers of your paper for over 40 years. You kept your promise and we especially appreciate what you have provided us when we have visited friends and family in other metropolitan areas with a much greater population and see a newspaper being offered to their subscribers with less than 25 to 40 percent the content and a diminished quality of writing as that offered by the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. We are really old school when it comes to reading books. We enjoy holding a book our hands, and the smell and feel of the pages (particularly the older editions of some our favorite books.) Seldom do we read a book in digital form. But, we have been drawn to your digital format so much that often the Sunday edition delivered to our home is never opened. James Miller Sherwood
