Fan of fans fills barn in Harrison

July 18, 2011|by Steve Grant, KY3 News | sgrant@ky3.com

HARRISON, Ark. -- You could say Dr. Geoff Dunaway has his fans, with 30 years of bringing children into the world.  Not far from his clinic, you can find more of Dunaway's fans -- around 3,000 of them.

Inside a two-story barn behind Dunaway's home is a walk back in time for any fan of fans.

"It started when I was 9 months old," Dunaway said. "It started with an infatuation with rotary motion at my grandma's house in Texarkana."

Dunaway started his collection after high school.  It includes fans that only millionaire collectors can afford. The good doctor won't put a price on his favorites.

"What's the most you've paid for a fan?" a reporter asked.

"Can't comment," Dunaway said.

"Don't want your wife to know?"

"That's a secret," he replied.

"Everything runs?"

"Probably, but not a a lot of them do," Dunaway said.

Enough do run for Dunaway's daily dose of rotary motion.

Dunaway is also a member of considerable standing in the Antique Fan Collectors Association.
