Some people are simply wired for the journey, bringing a certain presence wherever they may land. You know the type.

“Summer, winter, spring or fall, the Peter N. Kimballs are doing something,” reads the July 17, 1971, The Register cover story featuring the late Peter and Dorothy Kimball. The two, who both worked as executives—he in insurance and she as the vice president of the Crawford Company—roamed far and wide throughout their many travels, both for business and pleasure.

Both hailing from small towns, Dorothy, a Riceville, Mississippi, native, and Peter, a “farm boy from Whiteville, Louisiana, which is located 12 miles from Bunkie,” became well-versed in domestic and international travels.

Thanks to annual conventions, the two spent swaths of time in Mexico City, Portugal, France, Switzerland and Jamaica, just to name a few. When the original article was published, Dorothy had visited all but 10 states. But it was time spent in the great outdoors that always brought them back to the Sportsman’s Paradise.

Avid fishers, the couple were often found at their favorite fishing spot on the Belle River Spillway or in one of their many unnamed hideaways where the fish were always biting. Upon their return, they could be found in the garden, cooking out on the patio at their home in Tara and indulging friends, family and their beloved grandchildren with their delightfully fresh fish recipes.

No matter how far you may roam, the adage will hold true—there’s no place like home.
