Hartwell, Trey
From Spearfish Lake Tales Wiki
Trey Hartwell is a character that first appears in Blue Beauty. He is from a small town in Indiana that is only ever referred to as "Bumfuck", but in the real world would be located near Peru, Indiana. Ten minutes after leaving his home he was on US31 and heading south past Grissom AFB.
Both Trey's parents (unnamed) continue to live in their home. His has a brother, Robbie, that he shared a room with for years and doesn't see often enough now. Robbie is now partnered with Shirley. His sister, Carolyn, married Aaron Trilby right out of high school and they have three young children at the time of Blue Beauty.
Trey joined the army after high school, both to get out of his small town and because he couldn't afford college. He was in the Infantry, stationed at Fort Stewart for a couple years before serving in Kosovo for peacekeeping. On returning to the states he was transferred to the First Infantry Division (Big Red One) at Fort Riley. From Ft. Riley, he started taking extension classes with Marienthal College.
Trey first appears in Blue Beauty as a Junior (3rd year student). He is four years older than his roommate Justin Blair and other classmates and he is considerably more mature. He is majoring in business administration, but determined to do some fun stuff also, he took an "Introduction to Theatre" course in his first year, and from there drifted into stage lighting and management and sound systems. In the second term of his junior year (December 2000) he was a student in a freshman English literature class. He talked his professor, Myleigh Harris into doing a public performance on her harp at the college, which was a smashing success. While in college, had a part-time job as a baggage handler for South Central Airlines.
While in the army at Ft. Stewart, Trey had done some surfing over a few years. He was with some army buddies and surfing at Buddha's, overhearing Myleigh speak, before they were introduced. He was revisiting B&G's Surf Shop over the Christmas 2000 holidays that led to his introduction to Myleigh's friends and a strong bond with Randy Clark. The visit also provided employment for the subsequent summer with Al Buck's Canyon Tours.
His association with Myleigh also introduced him to Blake Walworth and Trey became a competent recording engineer working either in the field, such as Myleigh's Grand Canyon expedition, or at the Walworth's Point Drive home in Spearfish Lake.
On December 29th 2001, Trey marries Dr. Myleigh Harris, at the home of Jennifer and Blake Walworth, in Spearfish Lake.BB36 PE26
