Default John Rogers article

There was a wonderful two page article on John Rogers in the Sunday August 14 Arkansas Democrat-Gazette's High Profile section.

Sadly the paper does not allow free on-line viewing. The article by Rhonda Owen includes a couple of nice photos of John and some of his collection. It details his history in the hobby how he became involved in the news photo business. Mentioned are his Rogers Photo Archives, ConlonCollection.com and his new poster company PlanetGiant.com.

It briefly touches on his football career- at Louisiana Tech he started every game all four years at offensive tackle. The 6'6" Rogers' first game was in front of 100,000 at Tennessee's Neyland Stadium!

The article did a great job detailing John and his lovely wife Angelica's philanthropic efforts in the community. A nice article on a very nice person, I hope some of you get the chance to read it.
