Don
Barker
Photographer,
fisherman and local historian
Very
few Conover citizens are not familiar with Don Barker.
A lifelong Conover resident and son of William J. and Lula Brady
Barker,
Don is constantly researching and documenting the little known
aspects
of our historic past. His latest projects have focused on our
local
movie theaters 
and the semi-pro baseball teams of Catawba County.
And now, he has published a fascinating book on the
City of Conover.

Don's US Air Force service and his love of flight have been forever intertwined.
Don's neighbors marvel over his love of cats, especially Tiny.
"There's room on my horse for two"
His
photographic talent can be seen in his display of the beauty
of springtime in Conover and his award winning photographs (below).
