THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, MAY 12, 2016 -PAGE 2
by Bill Robinson,
Publisher
I have taken pictures of several proms this year.
Each time I do, it brings back memories of the proms
I attended.
Some were great, some were humiliating. All were
memorable.
Of all the prom stories I have heard or read about,
my favorite was shared by April Knight.
A PROM TO REMEMBER
It was spring 1959 and time for the junior prom.
The prom was the most important thing in the world to
the junior girls at our small school. It was the next best
thing to being Cinderella for a night.
My mother was reliving her own junior prom by
dragging out her old photos and telling me about the
perfect night she’d had with George. (Unfortunately,
George married someone else and my mother never
really got over him. She married Dave, who was eventually my father.)
I kept telling her I wasn’t going to the prom because
no boy would ask me, and I refused to go alone. Every
girl in my class had a date, and the boys who were left
without dates didn’t want me.
My mother began dropping hints to all the neighbors
who had sons. “My daughter doesn’t have a date for
the prom. Do you think Johnny (or Jim or Robert or
Gary) would take her?”
The other mothers, who
were better at minding
their own business, would
say they’d mention it to
their sons. I doubt any of
them did.
My mother bought a
lime-green formal for me.
It was stiff, scratchy, puffy
and fluffy. When I tried
it on, my mother said I
looked “like a Greek goddess,” but I knew I looked
like a green bean. I also
got my first pair of high
heels. The heels were
only 2 inches tall, but I
felt like I was walking
on stilts. My mother dug
out a beaded evening bag
she’d carried to her own
prom. It once had been
covered with white pearls,
but now the fake pearls
had turned various shades
of yellow and gray.
I had long hair and
liked to wear it straight.
The night before the prom,
she insisted on putting my
hair up in pin curls. The
next day, my hair hung
in a hundred ringlets. I
looked like I’d been electrocuted.
She insisted I borrow
her very best rhinestone jewelry—which she’d bought
at Woolworths for $3—but only if I was very careful
with it.
My mother said that since I didn’t have a date, my
father would drive me to the prom and pick me up at
midnight, when it ended. So just when I thought things
couldn’t get any worse, they’d gotten worse.
So I lied. On the day of the prom, I told her Billy
had called while she was at the grocery store and had
asked me to the prom, so I had a date and my father
didn’t need to drive me to the school.
Now all I had to do was think up another lie to hide
the lie about having a date. What would happen when
no boy came to the house to pick me up?
I could pretend I’d been stood up; I’d pretend to
be heartbroken—but what if I couldn’t keep my father
from driving me to the prom? I could pretend to be
sick. That wouldn’t take much pretending, because I
did feel sick.
That evening, I got dressed in the stiff, itchy formal.
My mother decided I needed a corsage—and what if
Billy didn’t remember to get me a corsage?—so she
sent my father to the florist to see if he could pick up
something at the last minute.
I saw my chance to escape total humiliation. My
father would be gone for at least 20 minutes. I stood
next to the door, looking out the window, watching for
Billy to arrive.
“Oh!” I gasped. “I left my evening bag upstairs in
my bedroom. Can you go up and get it for me? I want
to watch for Billy.”
My mother couldn’t imagine me leaving without
her evening bag, so she ran upstairs to look for it. I’d
hidden it under my mattress. As soon as I heard her
upstairs, I made my break.
“Billy’s here! I’m leaving!” I shouted, and I ran
out the door and slammed it behind me.
I lifted my formal above my knees and galloped
around the house and out to the back of the garage,
where I squatted behind a hedge.
I hoped my mother was still searching for the evening bag or that she’d heard my yell I was leaving.
She’d be upset she didn’t get a photo of Billy and me
as we were leaving for the prom. Father returned and
Mother met him at the door. I heard him say he couldn’t

Donate this Satturday to ‘StampOut Hunger” in Allen
This Saturday, May 14
letter carriers in 195 cities in central and western
Oklahoma will “Stamp
Out Hunger” by collecting canned food donations
from households on their
routes. In Allen, donations benefit Holdenville
Loaves and Fishes in partnership with the Regional
Food Bank of Oklahoma. This is through the Feeding Hope and Letter Carriers’ Food and Fund Drive,
presented by Devon Energy Corporation.
“Hunger is closer than
you think,” said Steve
Riggs, statewide chair of
the Letter Carriers’ Food
Drive. “If you’ve seen
one hungry child you’ve
seen one too many. Most
of the clients served by the
Regional Food Bank, and
its partner agencies, are
children, seniors and the
working poor.” To help “Stamp Out
Hunger,” fill the plastic
donation bag you receive
in your mailbox this week,
or any plastic bag, with
canned food donations and
place it by your mailbox on
Saturday, May 14 before
your letter carrier arrives. Your letter carrier will
do the rest. Most needed
items include: canned
meats, meat-based soups,
canned fruits, canned vegetables, peanut butter, and
rice and beans. If your donation is
missed, take it to your
local post office. Monetary donations can also
be made online at feedinghope.org or by calling
405.600.3136. Every dollar donated will provide
five meals for Oklahomans with inconsistent
access to food.
The Regional Food Bank
is dedicated to “Fighting
Hunger…Feeding Hope.” More than 656,000 Oklahomans struggle with hunger on a daily basis. The
majority of those served
by the nonprofit are children, seniors living on
fixed incomes, and working families who cannot
make ends meet. One in six Oklahoman
struggles with hunger every day. Last year, the
Regional Food Bank distributed more than 49.9
million pounds of food to
Oklahomans with inconsistent access to food. “A client recently began to cry as the food
was loaded into her vehicle,” shared one client of
the Regional Food Bank. “When we asked if every-
thing was OK, she simply
explained how happy she
was and how this food
would go such a long way
to help feed her children.
She said that we really
cared about them.”

about the Letter Carriers’
Food Drive, ask your letter
carrier, contact your local
post office, or call Angie Doss at 405-604-7109

for taking me to the prom.” Then I dashed inside and
closed the door.
My mother came rushing into the hallway, holding
her camera.
“Why are you home so early?” she said as she
opened the door, hoping to catch a glimpse of Billy.
“Billy has a midnight curfew,” I said. “The dance
was fine.”
I dashed upstairs and changed into my robe, dug the
evening bag out from under my mattress, put it with
the formal, and went back downstairs.
My dad had gone to bed.
I went into the kitchen and made a peanut butterand-jelly sandwich. It tasted heavenly. I was starving.
“Tell me all about the prom.” Mother sat down at
the table and drank a cup of tea.
“Well, there isn’t much to tell. Billy is a nice boy,
but we really didn’t have anything in common. He’s
not a good dancer, and mostly, he hung around with the
guys. I don’t think we’ll go out again,” I said.
My mom looked crushed.
“Let’s face it, Mom. You and George had the perfect prom date, and nobody else is ever going to have
a prom date that perfect,” I said.
“Yes, you’re right.” She got that dreamy look in her
eyes she always got when she talked about George. “I
just wanted you to have a happy memory so someday
you could tell your own daughter about your prom.”
“Well, let’s just say I’ll never forget the night of my
junior prom,” I said.

Threads of Life

Millions of people every
day are entering into conversation with God; from
their bedrooms, from their
backyards, from their cars,
at work, at play, and many
other places. More than
one-in-three Americans
pray about once a day.
The books on prayer are
numerous.
How we pray is not important. We are created
with the capacity to pray.
God gives us the gift of

this special communication. We do not have to
wait to have a perfectly
constructed, carefully analyzed theology of prayer
before we begin to pray.
We can simply accept
the gift and pray. It is,
in a sense, just talking to
God.
Prayer seems to come
naturally and easily to
most people. In his hymn,

Romanaette Bryant
Passes Away
Romaette WhiteheadBryant, age 82, a resident of Allen, Oklahoma,
passed away peacefully on
Tuesday, May 10, 2016.
Romaette, a retired
nurse, was born September 23, 1933, in Allen. She
was the daughter of Marshall Clayborn Whitehead
and Estella Mae Cook.
Romaette attended Allen
Public Schools and graduated in 1951.
Romaette married Jack
Bryant of Allen, in 1953,
in Ada, and they celebrated their 63rd wedding
anniversary earlier this
year. Jack and Romaette
lived in numerous states
during their early marriage, working in the oil
fields. They had one son,
Jack Jr., and made their
home in LaCrosse, Kansas for many years while
Jack worked for Koch
Industries, and Romaette
worked in Hays, at the
Hays Pathology Lab.
They moved to Schulter,
Oklahoma in 1972 and
Romaette became a LPN
and worked as a surgical
nurse for numerous years
in Henryetta, Okmulgee
and at the Creek Nation
Hospital in Okemah. Toward the end of her career
she worked in home health
in the Henryetta area.
They retired while living
in Schulter, and returned
to a small farm outside
Allen, nine years ago.
Romaette was preceded
in death by her parents,
two older sisters and two
older brothers. She is survived by her husband Jack
of the home; her son Jack
Jr. and her daughter-inlaw Donna of Oklahoma
City; one brother and his
wife; one sister of Allen,
one sister-in-law of Allen;
and numerous nieces and
nephews.
Romaette was a loving wife and mother who
brought happiness and
compassion into the lives
of those she cared for as a
nurse and her close family.
Romaette, a devote
Christian, was a member
of the Oklahoma Cremation Society, and had
requested that the family
not hold a public service.
The family asks that in
lieu of flowers, donations
be made to the Romaette
Bryant Memorial Nursing Scholarship through
the Redlands Community
College Foundation in El
Reno, Oklahoma.
gomery wrote, “Prayer
is the Christian’s vital
breath. The Christian’s
native air . . . The upward
glancing of an eye. When
none but God is near.”
The best way to pray is
the way we pray best. Just
talk to God. My daughter,
when she was in college,
would pry, “Hey, God . .
.”
Prayer in the life of the
Christian is rooted in the
long tradition and practice of prayer in the lift
of Jesus. The Gospels
report that He prayed in
the midst of His ordinary
life. He left His disciples
and went out alone into the
desert early in the morning
or up into the mountains
at the end of a busy day
to pray. He went out into
the mountains, and He
spent the night in prayer
to God (Luke 6:12) before
He chose his disciples. He
prayed alone.
H e prayed when He
took His disciples with
Him. He prayed for other
people. Mothers brought
their children to Him that
He might lay His hands
on them and pray. He told
Peter that He had prayed
for him that his faith might
not fail. He prayed for his
enemies. From the cross,
He prayed for those who
crucified Him, “Father,
forgive them, for they do
not know what they do.”
Luke 23:24.
And He prayed for Himself. In the Garden of
Gethsemane and from the
cross, “Abba, Father, for
You all things are possible, remove this cup from
me, yet, not what I want,
but what You want.” And
then, “Our Father, which
art in heaven . . .“
Prayer played a central
role in the life of the early
church. The story of the
birth of the church begins
with a group of men and
women gathered in an upper room in prayer. (Acts
1:12-14) “After Pentecost,

the new converts devoted
themselves to the apostles’
teaching and fellowship,
to the breaking of bread
and prayers.” The first
deacons were appointed
care for the needs of the
growing community so
that the twelve could devote themselves to prayer
and to the ministry of the
work. (Acts 6:1-24)
P aul reported that he
had been praying for the
members of the churches to whom he wrote,
and he repeatedly asked
them to pray for him. In
his teachings, he said,
“Do not worry about anything, but in everything
by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving, your
requests should be made
known to God.”
Growing in our understanding of who God is
can be compared to our
experience in getting to
know another human being. What you think about
another person and who
the other person is are
never exactly the same.
We can never perceive
everything that another
person is. No one can
ever know us just as we
are. The being of God is
beyond our comprehension. God has changed in
the Bible. In the book of
Exodus, Moses asked God
for His name. The answer
Moses received was, “I am
who I am.”
So how do we picture
God when we pray to
Him? I picture Him as
Jesus did when He prayed.
I think of Him as Father.
“Our Father, which art in
heaven, hallowed be thy
name . . .”
We do not pray just to
ask for something. We
need to pray in praise and
adoration at times. “O
God, You are my God,
my soul longs for You.
My soul is thirsty for You.
Let me see You in the
sanctuary; let me see how
mighty and glorious You
are. Your constant love is
better than life itself, and
so I will praise You. I will
give You thanks. I will
raise my hands to You in
prayer. My soul will feast
and be satisfied, and I will
sing glad songs of praise
to You.”

One Pharmacist’s View
“You ought to go to the
doctor,” my wife kept
saying last week. You all
know I am a busy man but
she finally nagged me into
it. I sort of wanted to go
up to the City anyway and
go to Sam’s. So away we
go. I didn’t even take a
toothbrush.
The nurse asked how I
was . . . “Fine.” A few
minutes later I confessed
to having chest pains but
they were mostly in my
back. “Between my shoulders,” I said. She checked
my blood pressure, then
ran an EKG. “You know
that you’re in A-Fib?” I
just looked at her. Next
thing I know I’m in a
wheel chair.
The cardiologist in the
E.R. said, “Aw I don’t think
you’re in A-Fib. Must be
one of those shunts we
put in your heart herewhile-back.” Thus began
yet another odyssey up at
the VA or as some would
say, “The Twilight Zone.”
I was shoved off into the
basement (for the VIPs I
supposed) called the Cardiac ICU. There was a
split in opinions as the day
progressed. There were
the pro A-Fib boys, the
stints have failed group,
and the stint booster club.
This club consisted of the
team that had installed
the stints last New Year’s.
“Casual” is the word!
The trend in Christianity
today seems to be “casual.” The accepted norm
today is to be casual with
our religious beliefs and
not take them too seriously! People say that
God accepts most any belief and worship style. To
be accepted, it seems that
preaching needs to be “casual.” The word can mean
careless, nonchalant, informal, superficially or
relaxed. It seems that we
do not want religion to be
demanding or exacting of
us. We want a religion that
is “easy” and a god who
will accept most anything
we like. We even want to
dress casual!
Can our relationship
with God be taken casually – superficially and
nonchalant, without giving attention to details?
When we assembly to
worship God, are we not
drawing near to God to
pay Him homage, honor
and glory? Can we enter
into God’s presence with a
casual, relaxed attitude, as
if visiting an old familiar
friend or buddy? Surely
there is something very
special about coming into
God’s presence?
Bats in the Belfry & Ants on the Floor
They felt I had made them
look bad. Next stop, the
heart-catheter lab.
It was kind of weird
down there. They put in
the heart camera device
and the doctor showed
me on the TV screen the
inside of my heart. I had
no great joy seeing them
probe right there and he
told me what he was doing
and then asked, “does this
hurt?” While I was in this
deep conversation with
this doctor guy, a man who
said he was “Leonard” and
who was apparently a barber kept giving me little
editorial asides as my doctor and I continued on. A
moment later I was again
asked about pain and sure
enough it started hurting
and I so informed my doctor. Leonard leans down
and says, “that’s not really
heart pain you feel, it’s
probably a muscle spasm
or something. But I know
it isn’t heart pain.” I was
relieved to hear Leonard’s
diagnostic speculations
but the whole thing left me
wondering who to believe,
the guy doing the tests or
Leonard (my nurse and
barber).
I finally got back to my
room full of joy-juice and
hope. My stints were in
place and a ton of nitroglycerin had been pumped
here and there to open up
those little arteries and I
was all fixed. I was glad
(and dopey) while wondering how soon I could
get out. I still needed
to go to Sam’s. But for
what? That was when
I saw that the floor was
working alive with ants.
Luckily, I thought, I am a
professional. A Pharmacist. I know it’s the medicine causing this optical
illusion. I decided this
hallucination would best
be kept to myself, while
I try to remember what I
want at Sam’s.
My two sons, Ron and
Steve, appeared in my
room about that time.
They looked at the floor.
Ron said, “My gosh (or
something similar) what
are all those bugs doing
in here?” Steve, too, expressed alarm over the uninvited guests. About that
time Michelle (my gorgeous nurse) wandered in.
She called another and before long we have security
in the room. The ants just
dug in and wouldn’t leave
so they evacuated me to
the hall. There I lay what
seemed like hours. By
this time I convinced the
Light from
God’s Word
How can we be casual,
nonchalant or relaxed in
the presence of the One
who created us and who
has the power of life over
us? Can we be casual
with Him who has turned
His face from us because
of our sins against Him?
And, can we be casual
with Him who because of
the blackness of our hearts
can justly allow us to suffer eternally in hell? Can
we be casual and nonchalant in the presence of Him
who gave His pure sinless
Son as a sacrifice to die in
our stead so that we might
live eternally?
Let’s test this concept of
“casual” by God’s word.
The Apostle Peter wrote,
“Therefore, brethren, be
even more diligent to make
your call and election
sure.” (2 Peter 1:10) He
did not encourage us to
be casual, but to be “diligence.” And, certainly,
Jesus did not encourage us
to be casual when He said,
“Strive to enter through
the narrow gate, for many,
I say to you, will seek
to enter and will not be
able.” (Luke 13:24) There
is nothing more serious or
important than our relation
with God!!
smarter parts of my brain
that my basement suite had
indeed been taken over by
termite ants. In the hall I
was visited by one of VA’s
attitude adjuster expert.
She was kind of a cute
midget. Said she was a
Chaplin. “Uh huh,” I said.
“Where were you when I
needed you?” I was a little
loopy.
I told Steve that everything looked normal so
far except I still hadn’t
been put into a room with
a raving maniac. But wait.
His name was John. My
doctor came in about then
and I sweet talked him
into letting me go. I was
really glad to get out and
now I am home. Now if I
can just remember what’s
wrong with me. And what
it was I wanted at Sam’s.
Well anyway, don’t forget to go to church Sunday
and remember to have a
good week.

Jinger McClure Named new
Community Relations Manager
Allen native, Jinger McClure, has a new hat to wear.
After more than two decades of managing and directing education programs in Ada and southern Oklahoma, McClure will join Mercy’s integrated marketing
department as a community relations manager.
In her role, McClure will juggle a number of responsibilities, from acting as a community liaison for
the hospital and clinics to engaging and collaborating
in meeting the marketing and business development
activities for the hospital. McClure will also be responsible for managing media relations, advertising,
and organizing hospital events, such as Ada’s popular
Wear Red For Women event, held each year in February.
“Jinger is a strong leader who will help further expand our hospital’s outreach in the community,” said
Lori Wightman, president of Mercy Hospital Ada.
“She has a proven record for success and is a good
reflection of Mercy’s mission of providing compassionate care and exceptional service.”
Born at Valley View Regional Hospital, now Mercy
Hospital Ada, McClure has long served Pontotoc
County, first as an educator in Ada, Stonewall and Allen public schools. Most recently, McClure served as
the Director of Indian Education for Ada City Schools.
She will take the position of Barbara Miller, who will
now serve as Mercy’s director of marketing planning
for Oklahoma.
“Mercy is known across Ada and southern Oklahoma as dedicated to serving the community and patients, and I look forward to continuing that mission,”
McClure said.
In her free time, McClure enjoys spending time with
her four children, three sons ages Ian, Brendan, Cole,
and a daughter-in-law Kelsey.

COMBINED NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND NOTICE OF HEARING
TO: All persons interested in the Estate of Joie Dale Burk, Deceased
Leah Chermack, Kasey
You are hereby notified that on the 3 day of May, 2016, Nancy Carole Burk
rd
(the “Petitioner”), Post Office Box 1488, Ada, Oklahoma 74821, by and through
Susie Bolin Summers of Mayhue, Summers & Files, PLLC, Attorneys for Petitioner,
filed in the District Court of Pontotoc County a Petition for Summary Administration, Appointment of Special Administrator, and Admission of Will to Probate (the
“Petition”).
The Petitioner has alleged that Joie Dale Burk, deceased (the “Decedent”),
died testate on November 4, 2014, at the age of 82 years, domiciled in and
residing in Riverside County, State of California, and that the total value of the
Decedent’s property in Oklahoma is approximately $9,000.00. Attached to the
Petition is an instrument purporting to be the Last Will and Testament of Joie
Dale Burk. Petitioner has asked this Court to admit the Will to probate and for
other summary proceedings pursuant to Section 245 et seq. of Title 58 of the
Oklahoma Statutes.
In an Order for Combined Notice entered on the 3rd day of May, 2016, the Court
found that it should dispense with the regular estate proceedings prescribed
by law and order notice to creditors and issue an order for hearing upon the
Petition for Summary Administration and Admission of Will to Probate, the Final
Accounting, and Petition for Determination of Heirs, Devisees and Legatees and
Distribution.
The names and addresses of the heirs or devisees of the decedent are as
follows:
Nancy Carole Burk
Nancy Carole Burk, Trustee of the
Joie Dale Burk and Nancy Carole Burk Living Trust
Dale Scott Burk
Dena Carole Burk
c/o Mayhue, Summers & Files, PLLC, Post Office Box 1488, Ada, Oklahoma 74821
Pursuant to the Order for Combined Notice, all creditors having claims against
Joie Dale Burk, deceased, are required to present the same with a description
of all security interests and other collateral (if any) held by each creditor with
respect to such claim, to Nancy Carole Burk, Special Administrator, at the law
offices of Susie Bolin Summers, of Mayhue, Summers & Files, PLLC, Attorney
for the Special Administrator, on or before the following presentment date: June
2, 2016, or the same will be forever barred.
Notice is also hereby given that a hearing will be held on the 1st day of July,
2016, at 1:30 o’clock P.M. at the Pontotoc County Courthouse, Ada, Oklahoma. At the hearing the Court will decide whether to approve the Petition for Summary
Administration and Admission of Will to Probate and the Final Account and Petition for Determination of Heirs, Devisees and Legatees, and Distribution of the
Petitioner. The Final Account and Petition for Determination of Heirs, Devisees
and Legatees and Distribution will be filed herein on or before the 8th day of June,
2016.
You are hereby advised that you must file objections to the Petition for Summary Administration and Admission of Will to Probate and the Final Account and
Petition for Determination of Heirs, Devisees and Legatees, and Distribution
at any time before the hearing and send a copy to the Petitioner in care of her
attorney, Susie Bolin Summers, Mayhue, Summers & Files, PLLC, Post Office
Box 1488, Ada, Oklahoma 74821-1488, or you will be deemed to have waived
any objections. If you have no objections, you need not appear at the hearing
or make any filings with the Court.
The Court will determine at the hearing whether the Will attached to the Petition
shall be admitted to probate and whether summary proceedings are appropriate
and, if so, whether the Estate will be distributed and to whom the Estate will be
distributed.
