Will Rogers visits Waynoka, Oklahoma..."Will Rogers arrived in Waynoka late on a Sunday afternoon in his private plane during the TAT era. Teenager Punk Kelsey, who lived across the road from the TAT Airport, described Rogers' plane as being like an office inside. Kelsey asked Will how much he was paid to write his daily newspaper column. Will reported, 'A dollar a word.' So thereafter Punk counted the words in the columns to calculate how much Will was paid. -- www.waynoka.org/news0035.php & Waynoka Historical Society - News & Information | View or Add Comments (0 Comments) | Receive updates ( subscribers) | Unsubscribe
