Writing as both a columnist and as a reporter, Jim Heffernan has entertained and informed readers of the Duluth News Tribune and the Duluth Herald for more than half his life.

Jim has hand-picked fifty-two of his and his readers' favorites, from his "Blanche" and "Ethnic Editor" columns to his encounter with celebrities who visited the Twin Ports during his career, and of course the poem that became his most-requested column: "Cooler Near the Lake."
