Recently, I asked Pat Harris for an interview and he graciously accepted. Pat was born during World War II and he grew up in the era in which Rogers grew from a little town of 3,500 citizens to a major business and industrial center.
Last month, the Remembering Rogers column was about the year 1956, the Diamond Jubilee of the birth of Rogers. This column jumps ahead 25 years to the year 1981 -- the centennial year of Rogers. It is interesting to look back and notice some of the major changes in Rogers and its citizens over that period.
Last month I wrote about the origin and early speakers at the Rogers History Club. There was a great response to these individual memories of early Rogers. Every person experiences events from a unique perspective, and it is enlightening and entertaining to hear their stories. This column features two speakers from families that had a great positive influence on the development of Rogers.
