Unfortunately, I've never gotten to meet any of the TAGS cast members.
Once, in the early 90s, George Lindsey visited Hugo, Oklahoma, a small town
down the road from my even smaller hometown of Soper, Oklahoma, and the
county seat of Choctaw County. I don't know why I didn't go see George. I'm
not sure if I was still in high school or if I had already gone away to
college. (College for me was never more than a couple hours away.) I do
remember seeing George's face on the front page of the Hugo Daily News, his
picture having been taken with the sign at Floyd's Barber Shop. I remember
reading in the article that, of all the places he has performed, Hugo is
the only place where he's actually seen a Floyd's Barber Shop. Nowadays the
shop still stands, but it is called Robbie's Barber Shop, but I think ol'
Floyd might still work a day or two each week.
