Dear Friend,   As we enter into a weekend of remembering our past and celebrating our future, we mark again the tragic death of our friend, former state senator and Democratic Party of Arkansas Chairman Bill Gwatney. As someone who worked on Bill’s first campaign for state senate, I know that all of us owe a great deal of gratitude to him for everything he did to make our state and our party stronger. He will never be forgotten.                              It’s an honor to serve as Chairman in the footsteps of great men and women who have previously served, and we are especially glad to recognize them for their service with a special presentation at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner.   This morning, we will open our state convention with remarks from Gov.
