For many years, local citizens met at Gary Townzen's barber shop in Rogers to talk about a variety of topics, including history as they remembered it -- and some even came in for a haircut. So, of course, I did much of my research there when working on my first book about Rogers. In late 2009, Gary and I decided that these memories from senior citizens needed to be recorded and preserved for future generations. We worked with the Rogers Historical Museum and organized a club, whose purpose was to have a speaker or speakers present a program once a month on any subject, as long as it was about Rogers history. It was recommended that the program last from 30 minutes to an hour, and it could be a talk and/or have pictures, slides, artifacts or any other enhancements that the speaker desired.
