David Fogerty and Wayne Baker

"I can’t imagine one kid having a negative thing to say about their experience at Burkes' Barbershop…”

Wayne Baker and David Fogarty have been friends since 1970, when Baker's family moved to Yellow Springs - right next door to the Fogartys. Baker's strongest memories of his childhood in the village are of Burkes Barbershop. And of wisdom passed down from the proprietor, known as "Brother Burkes."

This interview was edited by WYSO Volunteer Sehvilla Mann. To find out more about volunteering at WYSO, click here.
