Alan Leveritt has been publisher of the Arkansas Times since its founding 47 years ago with $200 in capital. During the early years the only requirement to work at the Arkansas Times was another means of support. Leveritt drove a Yellow Cab at night for several years until retiring after a very bad night with four armed men in his cab. He lives on his great grandparents farm in north Pulaski County with two large dogs, two cats and a peacock named Lance. There he farms heirloom tomatoes, raspberries, elephant garlic and a variety of other crops for local restaurants and for sale at the Hillcrest Farmers Market onb Saturdays. He describes that as his night job. He loves Mexico where, as a young man, he spent three months hitchhiking on $150 and has been returning there annually for the past 50 years.
