The most famous unsolved case in Osage County is the murder of E.C.
Mullendore III, heir to the 300,000-acre Cross Bell Ranch. Mullendore
was murdered in his home Sept. 26, 1970. The only other person with
him was ranch employee Damon ‘Chub’ Anderson, who was also shot,
though there was speculation that Chub was the murderer. Author Dale
Lewis and Anderson were friends until Anderson’s death in 2010. Using
photos and taped interviews, Dale will share his insight, stories and
theories as you learn about the history of the ranch, the mistakes made
during the investigation, and various theories about the crime. Dale Lewis, also known
as “The Original Buffalo Dale,” is the author of Footprints in the Dew: The Life and
Times of Chub Anderson, due to be published in fall 2015.

Price Tower, 510 Dewey Ave
Tuesdays, 1 – 3 pm

Instructors: Judi Hill and Melvin Hildebrand
Combining alternative medicine with mainstream medicine is commonly called integrative
medicine. Alternative medicine embraces practices of diet, exercise, supplements and
holistic practices that are not typically part of the usual advice you might receive from an
MD. The ultimate goal of using both
approaches is to enable you to make
decisions and take actions that will give
you the greatest potential for a healthy
lifestyle. Judi Hill and Melvin Hildebrand
will help you define how integrative
medicine can help you become healthier as
they share their personal experiences.
