The Benton Argus ran a series in 1951 of people "You Should Know." Each week, a photograph and a short article would appear about a person of significance in the community.
The Benton News is going to do the same thing over the coming year. Readers are welcome to submit their suggestions for persons of significance that our community should know more about. The person can be either living or dead. Simply submit your nomination of a recommended person with a photograph (which will be returned) or a photo sent by email of that person. A short statement about the person should accompany the photo along with a point of contact and phone number so I can "fill in the holes" if there are any.
Participation is strictly voluntary, but it would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached by email or by phone at 925-6974 if you have questions.
