Monday Memories:
A glimpse into the past with KFGQ radio here in Boone. We aren't certain of the date the photo was taken (likely early to mid 1920s) or who the gentleman is. It's possibly Rev. John Charles Crawford, the founder of the Boone Biblical Ministries.
Did you ever ride the Interurban Railroad that ran through Boone County? Our next Trail Tales issue in April will feature the Interurban Railroad and we are interested in personal stories of Boone County residents riding the Interurban Railroad. Please share them with us and we may print all or part of them in the next issue of Trail Tales, which will be printed in April. If you have pictures, that's even better! Just remember, if your Facebook handle isn't your true name, we'll need your name, too. Thanks!
