U.S. Rep. Barry Moore visits Ingram State Tech

Cliff Williams / The Herald Congressman Barry Moore visited the Draper Instructional Service of Ingram State Technical College. He sat in the barber chair in Connie Barnett’s classroom.

It’s not often a sitting member of Congress spends close to two hours on a tour, much less behind the razor fence surrounding Staton and Draper Correctional facilities and Ingram State Technical College (ISTC). But Rep. Barry Moore did and sat in a chair in the college’s barbershop.

“Can you take a little off the top,” Moore said to instructor Connie Barnett. “My wife always cuts mine.”
