Arkansas Governor Joins Boycott of Aruba

Wednesday November 30, 2005
Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee joined Alabama Gov. Bob Riley in asking residents of his state to boycott travel to Aruba to show respect for the family of missing teen Natalee Holloway.

Gov. Huckabee noted that Natalee's mother, Beth Twitty, is originally from Arkansas and her father, Dave Holloway, is a graduate of Jonesboro's Westside High School. Natalee also has a grandmother and aunt who still live in Arkansas.

Huckabee is the only governor to respond to Alabama Gov. Bob Riley's request that all his fellow governors join the call to boycott travel to Aruba in support of the family's effort find out what happened to the missing teen.
