Rotarians Learn Smartphone Technologies

Rotarian Doug Morgan, right, hosted the program for Monday's noon luncheon meeting.  Pictured with Morgan are Sandra Harmon, center, a co-owner with her husband, Dennis, of Harmon's Services & Electronics, Inc. in Brook, and Ryan Maners, her Verizon Wireless account manager from Indianapolis.  Maners presented a slideshow that showcased the features and apps of various new smart phones, tablets and electronic devices that are available at Harmon's store.  Many of the features are those that business people nowadays find almost indispensable.  

Harmon's Plumbing, Heating & Air-conditioning was started by Donald Harmon 1971 in Brook.  In 1992, Dennis and Sandy, who than managed the Brook location, became the Verizon Authorized Retailer  offering cellular service to Newton and Jasper counties.  In 1995, Dennis and Sandy purchased the Brook location from Dennis' father, Donald Harmon.  With the combining of the existing Verizon Wireless retail sales with the service business, the name then changed from Harmon & Sons to Harmon's Services & Electronics, Inc.  The business focuses on service which is one of the good reasons for patronizing a local rural entrepreneur.
