From 1988 – 1992, I was on the board of directors
of St. John (Leavenworth) Hospital, Leavenworth
Chamber of Commerce as president and director
from 1972 – 1973, St. Mary College (Leavenworth)
president’s council 1969 – 1992 and was honored in

BA Journalism, History/Political Science
Employment: I began my professional journalism
career the Monday I graduated from Fort Smith High
School in 1955, working as a full-time reporter for
the Fort Smith Times-Record. While attending The
University of Tulsa, I worked my senior and graduate
years as a full-time reporter for the Tulsa World. Born
in Washington, D.C., I returned to that area in 1961
and was a reporter/photographer/editor for two
Fairfax County (Virginia) weekly newspapers before
joining the staff of the old Washington Star from
1963-1966. From 1966 until returning to Arkansas in
December 1972, I was city and then executive editor
of the Arlington-based Northern Virginia Sun, a
daily.
Leisure time activities: I enjoy reading.
memories: I still haven’t forgiven the Sigma Nu’s
for running my bicycle up the TU flagpole. It took
calling maintenance to get it down!
past 50 years: I am the current parliamentarian
and a former president of the Arkansas Press Women
Association, a former board member of the National
Federation of Press Women and have been active
in the Arkansas Professional chapter of The Society
of Professional Journalists. Among other honors,
I was the Arkansas Wildlife Federation’s 1985
Conservationist of the Year, 1996 Arkansas Journalist
from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock; I
received the Arkansas Press Association’s Freedom
of Information Award in 1997 and was inducted
into the Arkansas Outdoor Hall of Fame in 1999.
I also received the Ernie Deane Award for valor in
journalism in 2004. I also have served on the boards
of the former Greater Little Rock Mental Health
Center and the Arkansas Women’s History Institute
and I am the volunteer resident librarian at Parkstone
Place Retirement Center, where I live.
I was a reporter for the old Arkansas Gazette
from 1973 until resigning in 1985 to become
an independent journalist and to add book and
magazine writing to my efforts through my own
company, Editorial Services, Inc. Although my
Gazette assignments had varied widely, I became
known primarily for environmental, investigative and
political coverage and for being a fierce protector of
the Freedom of Information Act, including serving
on the state Electronics Records Study Commission
in 1999.
I have written a half dozen published histories,
including those of the Little Rock Wastewater Utility,
the Arkansas Conservation Sales Tax and the Bayou
Metro Wildlife Management Area.
Poor health forced my retirement on December 31,
2007.

was a killer. Don Hayden was the model professor. He
was witty, creative, scholarly, joyful, a man to admire.
Professor Eikenberry was renowned as the last word
on Shakespeare. You had to earn your way into one
of his seminars with scholarship and flattery. He
became intimate with his chosen few; and if you took
a trip, he always asked you to “Send me a postcard
with a picture of a church on the corner.”
Family: Our children are Corry (53), Phyllis (50),
and Alan (45), and our grandchildren are Corrinne
(14), Cameron (11) and Cade (12).
And, who was the speech teacher who injured his
back while lifting his partner in a theatrical touring
company? He lingered in Tulsa for recuperation, was
employed by TU, became my teacher, and I taught
him how to drive. I told him to never brake or swerve
for birds in the road because they always escaped.
Before the next corner he ran over a bird. Immature
and inept as a student, I was on probation at the end
of my first year. Then I was drafted. I returned from
Korea two years later and made the dean’s list of
those who excel.
Employment: I worked for five years in the Tulsa
Public Schools ending in 1961 with embarrassment.
Then I worked in the California Public Schools for
30 years and in the Stanford University Teacher
Education Program for ten years.
Leisure time activities: I enjoy writing, reading,
hiking and building.
memories: As for specific classes, Ben Henneke
taught “Reading Aloud Effectively”, or was that the
title of his book? He once took a trip and asked me
to cover his class. Surprise!! He insisted that I be
paid, and I still have a copy of the check he gave me.
I used the techniques he taught every day in my 40year career. Dr. Lester Fred Zimmerman, English
Department, once agreed to enter a faculty-student
tennis tournament with me. I admired him greatly. I
recall the thrill of getting to address him by his first
name during a frantic moment of play: “Back, Les,
back; it’s a lob!”
There is nothing to guarantee that a good student
will become a good teacher. As a teacher of seniors
at Edison High School, I didn’t recognize my
shortcomings because I was so overwhelmed by what
I was trying to do. Those students excelled despite
my teaching. Many of them were Merit Scholarship
finalists. I wish I could have taught them later in
my career. During the last ten years of my career, I
was working with graduate students in the Stanford
Teacher Education Program (STEP), and I am still in
touch with some of them.
I had an errand in Menlo Park last week that took me
past the last high school where I once taught. Despite
all the renovations and additions of new buildings, I
saw nothing with my name on it. I checked the new
library. I’m not there.
E.H. Criswell taught the “gatekeeper course” that
all English majors had to pass before graduation.
The first day of class he handed out 100 research
questions that became the content of the course. He
chose from this list when he wrote his final exam. It

I have come to terms with the fact that we’re all just
passing through. We’re all temps. I’m pretty sure I’m
not going to end up on the side of Mount Rushmore
either. That possibility I have with some confidence
discarded. Maybe I’ll get one of those bricks that the
Alumni Association wrote me about. You can buy one
for $100, and they will put a name on it, someone you
admire. I could afford a hundred bucks and get one
for myself.
Berkeley. Mike McCurry was President Clinton’s
press secretary. Lindsey Got is a baker. I got
Christmas notes. I keep up with Bonita Sharma, a
teacher. Jeff Rabin is a reporter. Carrie Todd dances
nude at a San Francisco bar and was once jailed for
shooting her husband. Keith Seinfeld is a reporter
for a public radio station in Seattle. I’m building
my own Mount Rushmore now, with perhaps a 50year memory bank. But, where are my university
classmates? Bob and Beverly Brinlee? Charleen
Yeager? Jack Haynes? All those whose names I’ve
forgotten?
I saw something like that, a public plaza with bricks
to walk on or view, at Disneyland a few years ago. It’s
sort of like the palm prints on the sidewalk in front
of Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, but
available to anyone. I could purchase a brick on a
walkway near the Magic Kingdom so that my family’s
name will be there forever, at least for a very long
time.
I wish I could come to Homecoming. Perhaps
another year.
the past fifty years: I have spent 40 years among
books, lecterns, and classrooms while teaching
literature, composition, and journalism. My coat
pockets are full of chalk dust. I cherish my students,
especially those young men and women from the
Stanford Teacher Education Program. My wife of
57 years leads the way as we devote our time to three
grandchildren and to the care of Rosie (92) and Vern
(95).
But, ten years after you retire, will you be
remembered at your work? Will your name come
up among those having lunch? When I was a kid
in Tulsa, I and my friends painted our initials on a
section of big pipe that emptied runoff rainwater
into the Arkansas River. It was my first attempt to
try to assure myself a lasting presence in a place that
mattered to me. By the time I entered high school,
some other group of kids had painted their initials
over mine. It’s the way of the world. I did the same
thing backstage when TU’s Kendall Hall housed the
theater. I painted my name on a stage flat and found
it obliterated the next year.
I can see the end of my life from here and realize that
every object in this well-lighted office will outlive me:
the carpet, my radio, the bookshelf and my chair. Not
one of these things will attend my last services, not
even this phonograph with its chest of 33-rpm vinyl
records that has provided a steady benediction of
sound for so many years.
Now, at 77, I am aware that whatever lasting presence
I am trying to forge, someone will soon enough come
along with their own can of paint the same way I did.
I’m thinking of embracing reincarnation. Once
around may be enough for most people, but I think
I would like to return as a waterfall, or maybe a
Halloween party, or as an enormous piano. I would
also choose to place that piano where Victor Borge
might get to play it. Better yet, with my wife and
granddaughter, we could be a trio of ushers and
hang out for a lifetime hearing good music and seeing
terrific plays.
I measure my own influence with a shorter
yardstick these days. It’s enough to know that my
granddaughter is really doing well at school, and
in fact, wants to be a teacher according to a recent
journal entry that 8th graders keep.
There is some gravy too. I am in touch with several
young teachers. I get updates from a few old high
school students. Marion Abbott from San Carlos
owns a bookstore and is published regularly in

that joyful noise. I have dabbled at painting, even
taking life drawing at TU. I still enjoy gardening after
conducting experiments in TU’s old green house way
back when.
Spouse: Marsha Hand
Spouse’s current job/activities: Marsha is the
executive assistant to the president of Health Texas
Harris Methodist Hospital in Southlake, Texas.
Family: I was married for 46 years to Martha
Jean O’Bryant Hand. We had two daughters, Coral
and Joanna. Both earned masters degrees. My wife
became ill after we had been married about nine
years and eventually received one of the earliest,
number five to be exact, liver transplants. She was
the world’s longest transplant survivor at the time of
her passing — more than 27 years with a secondhand
liver. She saw four grandchildren born and grow to
adulthood after she was given “six months to live.”
to seeing at your reunion? I would like to see if
anyone has more wrinkles than me. If one of our
alums is a plastic surgeon and can make me a really
good deal, I might be willing to part with a pound of
flesh.
How have you been you been involved with
TU since graduation? I have not set foot on the
campus in 50 years. I read the publications and I
attended the game last year when TU played SMU in
Dallas. I occasionally contribute financially.
About a year-and-a-half after she passed away, I
married Marsha Lynn Hand. I have to be careful,
since there is just one letter different in their names,
but life is good. Marsha has 11 grandchildren, and
we are involved with all 15 of our grandkids, at least
we sit in the stands and cheer at their games, recitals,
plays, etc.
the last 50 years: I was in federal law enforcement
as a special agent with the Drug Enforcement
Administration, Department of Justice and was a
supervisor of both an enforcement group and an
intelligence group. After that, I had my own security
business. My specialty as a private investigator was
hopeless cases and much of my business came from
referrals from other private investigators. One thing
was on my bucket list and that was holding an elective
office, so I ran for justice of the peace. In Texas, the
school districts are charged with education, and we
have a compulsory education law in the state. The
truancy enforcement belongs with the justice of the
peace’s office. Currently, 90% of the Texas prison
population did not finish school. It makes one wonder
Employment: I am a justice of the peace in Judge
Precinct Four, Denton County. After retirement
from the Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement
Administration, I was a private investigator. When
I was young, I played young men’s games. Being
a judge is a good gig for an old fellow, as it doesn’t
involve heavy lifting. I do that with projects at home.
Leisure time activities: I wrote a novel, Jeremiah’s
Journey, an action, adventure, spy thriller strangely
set in the Old Testament. It is still available on
1959
where all the justices of the peace have been. One of
the biggest thrills I have had in this last job is having
a high school principal shout at me as I came in the
school for a visit, “Judge Hand, I can think of at least
five students off the top of my head who would not
have graduated if you hadn’t gotten hold of them.”
If I’d gotten run over by a truck on the way, it would
have been okay.
I probably have thrown up enough on the keyboard,
but I have worked in 47 states, worked on three
continents and traveled on two more. I was once
president of the association of Federal Investigators, I
was appointed by two Texas governors on the Crime
and Narcotics Advisory Commission. I have been a
longtime member of the Board of Consultants for the
Christian Life Commission of the Baptist.

for the University of Madison, in research-related
fields. Emma plays piano, volleyball, swims on a
neighborhood team, rides horse back and participates
in scholastic meets. She entered 7th grade this
September.
Leisure time activities: I have not found
retirement exactly “leisurely,” but it does mean that
I can choose from a wide variety of activities. I sing
with the San Antonio Choral Society, a volunteer
community chorus, and continue to serve on the
board of directors this year as past president and
development chair. I sing in our church choir and
traveled with them to sing at Carnegie Hall in New
York this year. I travel to see family and adventure is
always in the plans. At home, I garden, sew and quilt
a little, visit with friends and volunteer as a Maverick
Library Friend in San Antonio. I love the monthly
lunch brunch socials and special events with my Chi
Omega sisters here in SA.
My daughter, Leslie Hogan, and her husband, John
Rickey, live in Santa Barbara, California, with their
two daughters, Clara (four and 1/2 years) and Eliza
Helen (four months). Leslie is a composer and teaches
at UCSB in the College of Creative Studies. John
is CEO of Far West Technology, Inc. and Health
Physics Instruments, manufacturing radiation
measuring products.
to seeing at your reunion: I’ll see several special
friends because they keep in touch, but will enjoy
seeing former friends who remind me of those years
at TU. I want to see all the changes to the campus.
The last time I visited, the construction was amazing
and also kept me off the campus.
Don Hogan, my son, works as the lead artist in a
computer games company in Austin, Texas. His wife,
Shelly, is the regional communications liaison for the
American Cancer Society. Grandchildren Tanner (9)
and Lily (6) are entering fourth and first grades this
fall. Tanner plays lacrosse, and both like to swim.
graduation? No, except for a few visits back to see
the campus and as an occasional donor, I have not
had family in Tulsa for over 20 years. I was pleased
to see The University of Tulsa’s partnership with
the Gilcrease Museum, where I was a volunteer and
participated in summer digs with Thomas Gilcrease
in the ’50s.
Employment: After some years as a teacher and
small business owner, I earned my Master of Library
Science degree in 1990. I worked in the Oklahoma
City Public Library System, as a Reference Librarian
at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa) and retired
in 2005 as Assistant Dean for Public Services at the
University of Texas at San Antonio Library
the past 50 years: Hmmm. I was married in 1960
1959
and moved to Madison, where our first daughter was
born. Then I followed my Marine Corps husband to
Camp LeJeune, North Carolina, where our second
daughter was born. I lived in New Mexico before
returning to our “roots” in Oklahoma. Our son
was born at Tinker AFB in OKC, while at a duty
station in Norman, Oklahoma. I also taught school
briefly. Among other things, we enjoyed a 35-acre
“ranchette” and raised sheep before going into the
flooring business for ourselves in Purcell, Oklahoma. I
moved on to Norman after a few years and went back
to school for my MLS, graduating the same year as
Don and Shelly in 1990, then we moved to Alabama
for several years where I still have many friends.
Moving to San Antonio in 1998, I felt I’d found my
home again. Life is good.

to seeing at your reunion: I hope my former
roommate, Robert Bloden, attends; also, there are
a lot of my other old friends from John Mabee Hall
that I would like to see. Unfortunately, most of my
faculty friends are gone, but I hope to see some old
student friends from the engineering school.
Family: We have four children, three sons and
one daughter. Our oldest son attended TU for
one semester. We have five grandchildren, three
granddaughters, one a new TCU freshman, and two
very new grandsons. My wife’s maternal family lived
in Tulsa, and had three TU graduates - Harold H.
Cooper BS ’31, Helen Cooper Zane BS ’32, and
Ruth Cooper Hone’s husband, Herb BS ’40. Ruth
and her husband, Herb, were contemporaries of Ben
Henneke. All things cooperative, my wife and I will
celebrate our 50th anniversary in March.
graduation? I taught in the engineering school,
1974-1980. I’m a member, but not very active, of
the Dallas/Ft. Worth Chapter of the TU Alumni
Association. I always contribute (although at a low
level) to the Annual Fund.
the last 50 years: I’ve been trying to keep my
head afloat economically and raise a family. I was
fortunate to complete advanced degrees at SMU
(MS Physics) and MIT (PhD Geophysics) and that
I was able to spend most of my active career doing
things I enjoyed. I am still a scientist and try to learn
new things every day. I enjoyed living in Tulsa twice
and can’t think of a better place to raise children.
I have been active in the Society of Exploration
Geophysicists, headquartered in Tulsa, as a member
from 1961-2009. I was the associate editor of the
SEG Journal Geophysics 1984-1986. I have been an
associate member of the American Association of
Petroleum Geologists, headquartered in Tulsa, since
1975, and I have been a member American Institute
of Archaeology since 1970.
Employment: From 1959-1974, I was with Texas
Instruments /Geophysical Services Inc. Then I
worked at The University of Tulsa from 1974 – 1980
in the department of Earth Sciences (Geophysics).
From 1980-1995, I was employed by Mobil Research
and Development Co. From 1996-2002, I was at
various telecom companies as a contract software
engineer. From 2004-present, I have worked as an
adjunct professor of physics at Richland College of
the Dallas Community College District
Leisure time activities: Being old and tired seems
to fit. Actually I enjoy teaching, working in the yard
(temperatures below 100 F), playing bridge (very
poorly), and doing genealogy studies. I am an avid

seeing at your reunion? At this time, it’s doubtful
that I will attend, but keep me informed. I would like
to tour the campus. I’m told there are a number of
new buildings. I’d like to see the new theatre stage. I
can’t remember who else graduated that year, but I’m
sure I could find someone.
Family: My first wife, Pat Hartline, BS ’57, died
in 1990. We had two daughters, Jeri, who operates
a company which boats the Grand Canyon; and
Jaque, BS ’85, who is a well site geologist. I have two
grandchildren and one great-grandson.
the past 50 years: I have a “Trophy Wall” with
several plaques from Time-Warner and The Canon
City Chamber and Jaycees. I was once pictured
on the cover of the Times Warner Cable annual
report. There is also a large color picture of myself
as Shaggy Dog with Mr. Zing (John Chick BA ’56,
MS ’60 and theatre major) and Tuffy. This is a copy
of the picture which was on a large billboard on the
Broken Arrow Expressway.
Employment: I worked at Tulsa Little Theatre as a
tech director/assistant director, as KTUTV director
and “Shaggy Dog.” I also worked at the University of
Wisconsin. Then I worked as an instructor of radioTV-film at the Tulsa City County Library, and then
as manager of the government access TV channel at
Time-Warner Cable system manager in Canon City.
Leisure time activities: At 76, I’ve slowed a bit,
but I still like rafting. After 12 years on the wait list, I
got a permit and rowed my raft on an 18-day private
trip through the Grand Canyon. My daughters were
along in their own boats. I have a small shop where I
like to repair broken things and make new things to
break. For years, Pat and I backpacked in Utah and
Arizona. Our favorite place was the Grand Canyon.
One year we took an 8-day raft trip in the Canyon.
Since then I’ve run the full length of the Canyon
several times, and have also run hundreds of miles
on several trips on the upper Colorado and Green
Rivers. I learned to fly a few years ago and enjoyed
that for a while, but my eyes began failing and I had
to ground myself.

memories: Where else could I have found someone
like Quendy Williams as a prospective wife? Tolerant
woman, that Quendy. She’s hung in there for 50
years and helped produce three good kids and four
fine grand kids. But there were also some other
great things, such as the old and evil professors who
prepared us really well for our professions, especially
the engineering sciences aspects. Participation on the
track team from 1955-1958 and living in Memorial
Hall were great – I made many friends there.
The Student Union respites also resulted in many
good friendships as I learned to play bridge there.
Remember Ben Simler’s Bookstore and snack shop?
Cheap books, good hamburgers, chili and malts! How
about the many friends from KA fraternity? Ahh, the
old rivalry between the KA’s and the Engineers’ Club
over the KA cannon. Ahh, the good revelry at the
Engineers’ Club outings. I saved Arthur Hestwood
the agony of having to kick me out of his choir by not
auditioning to join it.
Family: We have three children and four
grandchildren. Our daughter Melinda Veatch is
married to Glen S. Ely. Amanda Veatch is married
to Miles C. Wright and their two children are Helon
Alese Wright and Leila Potter Wright. Our son Ross
is married to Erika L. Peterson-Veatch and their
two children are Ralph Oscar Peterson-Veatch and
Arthur William Peterson-Veatch.
Employment: I am currently employed as the
president of Software Enterprises Inc., a petroleum
engineering consulting firm and I also teach industry
school courses on hydraulic fracturing. From 19601967, I worked at Amoco Production Company in
the producing department as a petroleum engineer.
I was in The University of Tulsa PhD graduate
program from 1967-1970. I returned to Amoco
Production Company in 1970 as a senior research
engineer in the research department, where I stayed
until 1974. From 1974-1975, I was at Louisiana State
University in Lafayette as an associate professor. I
returned to Amoco in 1975 and remained until 1993
as a research supervisor in the research department. I
started Software Enterprises in 1993.
to seeing at your reunion? I am most looking
forward to seeing my classmates and team mates,
because they were fun.
graduation? I am an industry advisory board
member for The University of Tulsa Petroleum
Engineering Department, advisory board member of
Tulsa Undergraduate Research Challenge (TURC)
and a member of the Lettermen’s Association board,
the Golden Hurricane Club and the TU alumni
association.
Leisure time activities: I enjoy travel, music,
photography and watching sports.
1959
Please share what you have been up to the
past 50 years: My long time friend, Ronnie Morris
and I usually do some guitar strumming when we
get together. Ron’s pretty good, I’m not, but Ron is
sympathetic. I got a Bolivian charango and a ronroco.
Both have very strange tuning. I couldn’t play them
so I developed a computer program to show me how
to fret the chords. The program will work for any
three to six stringed instrument. The program didn’t
improve my playing, but at least I can fret the chords!
I went to China on business in 1980. I have been
back about a dozen times since then, doing consulting
and lecturing. I’ve made some good friends on those
trips. The last four times I’ve gone, the agreement
was that after I finish my work, some of those friends
I designate get an expense paid, week long holiday to
any place in China they choose and they have to take
me along. I have had some fun trips to interesting
places.

is married to Erika L. Peterson-Veatch and their two

Employment: I taught school at Hoover Elementary
school in Tulsa for one year and it was the best job
in the world. Our principal was the best and I taught
with Mrs. Maggie Jo Hogue. I hated to leave but we
were moving out of Tulsa and beginning to raise our
family. I am not employed any more, but through the
years, I’ve been involved in many volunteer activities. Everything from PTA, many types of work in the
church and boards, including being an Elder in my
church and Sunday school teacher, a board member
of Eastern Oklahoma Planned Parenthood, Oklahoma
Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, United
Campus Ministry at The University of Tulsa and
moderator on the Justice for Women Committee at the
PC (USA), Synod and Presbytery levels.
Leisure time activities: I love to travel and we
lived in many wonderful cities where Ralph’s jobs sent
us. I enjoy community service and take opportunities
to volunteer when I can. I am a water aerobics person
which keeps me well. I enjoy reading, movies, plays,
music and having a good time with friends.
memories: When I first came to TU, I had never
been to Tulsa. I was from Little Rock and many
students thought I had a funny accent. I loved all my art
professors and remember great outings with Alexandre
Hogue. He took us on sketch trips to Osage Hills State
Park, girls in one cabin and boys in another. What a
great experience to have been taught by him, Brad
Place and Woody Cochran. I lived in Lottie Jane Mabee
Hall and was the first freshman councilor along with
my roommate Charlene Happel. We had great times
in Lottie Jane. At Christmas we and the boys from
John Mabee Hall caroled the Mabee’s at their beautiful
home. They seemed to look forward to our time with
them, served us cookies and hot chocolate. I had many
great times in Phi Mu Fraternity while on campus. I was
the pledge advisor for two years and president my senior
year. It was that year that the men of Kappa Alpha
came to the lodge to sing to me because Ralph Veatch
and I were pinned! Now we’ve been married 50 years! I
remember Sharp Chapel being built and watching the
beautiful windows being installed. They were thick glass
pieces of brilliant color, I love them. I had a wonderful
time at TU and have many more memories… just too
many to share in this space.
seeing all of my classmates, because they were fun.
graduation? I have been active through United
Campus Ministry.
Please share what you have been up to the past
50 years: The kids have all married and we have four
wonderful grandchildren. I have from time to time done
some pottery and jewelry making. We celebrated our

number of our night posters have passed away: Howard
Brown and Wally Maxey, to mention two.
Family: Our children are Susan Hall and Robert
Wagner. Our grandchildren are Eric, Lindsey,
Meredith, Allison and Trevor Hall; and Jessie,
Carson, Angie, Brady, Rachelle, Duke, Teresa,

grandchild, Ruby Hall.
graduation? I served as a participant in the Annual
Conference of Accountants, representing the Tulsa
Chapter of the National Association of Accountants.
I also represented the Conference of Accountants as
National Vice President of the Institute of Management
Accountants. I taught two semesters of management
administration for Chuck Scott in the evening program.
Employment: I was employed by Skelly Oil
Company after graduation. Skelly was acquired
by Getty Oil Company, and Getty was acquired
by Texaco. I worked in management areas with
increasing responsibilities, retiring in 1987 as Texaco’s
manager of administrative and corporate services for
Tulsa.
This is a good place to say our class probably enjoyed the
best career and social opportunities in recent U.S. history.
I truly love Tulsa; I’m always proud of Tulsa and enjoy
seeing the people that I either knew or knew of all over
the city, even those people who are getting quite elderly,
where I threw their paper on Reservoir Hill during WW
II. We were transferred to Vancouver, Washington, from
1966 to 1969, where I served as controller of a plywood
company that Skelly bought. The Northwest area is
beautiful, but Tulsa is where my roots are.
Leisure time activities: Louise and I have been
lifetime outdoor people, enjoying camping, fishing,
hunting and traveling. By being able to retire in 1987,
we have thoroughly enjoyed all these hobbies. We
are RV people and have a Holiday Rambler travel
trailer. We have enjoyed cruises to the Caribbean and
Alaska. Honestly, I never imagined how enjoyable
a Caribbean Cruise can be. Our church is and
always has been the center of our lives, and we have
participated in the usual activities of our church, such
as mission trips, building new churches in the Virgin
Islands, and teaching Sunday School and singing in
the choir. I have been singing tenor since the early
days of John Burroughs elementary, Roosevelt junior
high, and in the Nifty Class of ’50 at Tulsa Central,
belonging to the opera club and the annual Messiah
in the old coliseum. Great memories.
seeing at your reunion? I want to see the old
1959
Please share what you have been doing for the
past 50 years: Aside from the 28 years employment
with the oil companies, I really enjoyed being interim
president of Junior Achievement of Tulsa, an
organization that teaches by example economics at the
8th grade level and entrepreneurship at the high school
level. I would be remiss if I did not mention the love of
our lives, our two children and their spouses and our
14 grandchildren and one great grandchild. In addition
to them all being in Tulsa, we have the pleasure of all
living on the same 40 acres two miles west of Jenks. It’s a
grandparents’ dream.

activities, volunteering as a literacy coach, watching
TV, including commercials, and watching my
investments gradually disappear.
seeing at your reunion? I’m hoping everyone will
