Dizzy Dean Day October 13th
Holdenville TRIBUNE VOLUME 12, NUMBER 38 HUGHES COUNTY, OKLAHOMA 1 SECTION 50¢ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2012 Dizzy Dean Day October 13th Large Crowd Expected At Annual Spaulding Festival The annual Dizzy Dean Day festival will be held in Spaulding, October 13, 2012. Our good friend Gerald Bottoms wrote an article about Dizzy Dean Day a few years back. We thought this would be the perfect time to share it. By Gerald Bottoms As any adult will tell you, the years pass faster as you get older. I am amazed to realize that over 60 years has passed since I graduated from Spaulding High School. Like most of my classmates, I married, had children, had a rewarding career, and retired from that career to enjoy the passions I missed while I was working. Regardless of where I have gone, my perception of the world has always been based on the life lessons I learned while growing up in Spaulding. Annually, I have a chance to revisit my childhood at the Dizzy Dean Day. A highlight of the celebration is the opportunity to see former classmates and friends while en- joying the parade, listening to country music and seeing the classical farm equipment that would have been the envy of my father in his early days as a farmer in Hughes County. The entire event provides a day and evening full of excitement and memories that any old Oklahoman would enjoy as much as anything Disney World could offer. I am proud of the values and lessons the Spaulding community taught me and my friends as we matriculated in the 30s and 40s in small town America. Although we didn’t have a lot of money, we seemed to be wealthy in terms of the survival skills we learned. We knew that the quality of each day, whether we were happy or sad, depended on our attitudes. We learned the value of family, the rewards of hard work, and the ability to make decisions affecting our future with common sense and optimism. In case our decisions during life’s journey were misdirected, we learned to quickly make course corrections as we lived our lives. The frustration of our youth led to our desire to see the world outside the imaginary walls of Spaulding. Dizzy dean Day offered the opportunity to return once a year, as the traveler returned to Brigadoon, to see how time had somehow missed the community we used to call “home.” Like all the legendary places, Spaulding has stories that are at times questionable and sometimes surprisingly true. One of my favorite “stories” is the legendary “bottomless well” which was located a short distance southeast of Spaulding School. It was known as a bottomless well because no one really knew its depth. It was known to be a favorite place for young exContinued on Page 3 WE BELIEVE THE GROUP ABOVE TO BE “KINFOLKS” OF DIZZY DEAN.

PAGE 2—HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—SEPTEMBER 26, 2012 I want to start out with my favorite story of the week . . . probably because it reminded me of myself and my oldest son. I was visiting with my son last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “I don’t waste money on newspapers. Here you can borrow my iPad.” My “smart” son was right. His iPad did work better. That stupid fly never knew what hit him! —CC— Speaking of “smart”, one “smart” gentleman has found a way to make a good living out of helping dumb or lazy college students by writing their research papers for them. Now, David Tomar has written a book, “How I Made a Living Helping College Kids Cheat.” “In “The Shadow Scholar: How I Made a Living Helping College Kids Cheat,” Mr. Tomar, a 32-year-old Rutgers graduate, describes how, for the better part of a decade, he labored as a writer-for-hire catering to incompetent and lazy students. It didn’t matter if the task at hand was a reflection on Nietzsche, a piece on Piaget’s theory of genetic epistemology, or a 150-page paper on public-sector investment in China and India. Mr. Tomar, with not a small amount of help from Wikipedia, was a man for all semesters. The most amusing and disturbing tidbits of “The Shadow Scholar” are excerpted communiqués from Mr. Tomar’s clients that show just how badly these arrested young minds required his assistance. “Let me know what will the paper going to be about,” one college student instructs Mr. Tomar. “Also don’t write about, abortion, euthanasia, clothing or death penalty, those were not allowed by my teacher.” Mr. Tomar worked for only a few cents a word, but he kept busy enough to earn $66,000 in 2010. (Not bad, especially considering that the average pay for a non-tenure-track lecturer at Harvard last year—an institution with its own student-plagiarism scandal at the moment—was just under $57,000.) He was a freelancer for several of the “hundreds and possibly thousands” of online paper mills in the United States, services with names like rushessay.com and collegepaper.org that produce custom essays for their student clients. Lest you think that this sleazy racket is a fringe, underground phenomenon, Mr. Tomar is here to declare otherwise: “It’s mainstream. It’s popular culture. It’s taxable income. It’s googleable.” “The Shadow Scholar” is a follow-up to a 2010 essay of the same name that Mr. Tomar wrote, under the pseudonym Ed Dante, for the Chronicle of Higher Education. The original essay was concise, hard-hitting and topical, revealing the dirty details of a business that educators try studiously to ignore. By contrast, Mr. Tomar’s book is frequently self-indulgent and meandering, as much a memoir of the author’s post-college search for purpose as a whistleblowing manifesto. Clichés and mixed metaphors abound: “I’m tumbling into a well of bad memories the way that a motorcycle backfiring in the distance might take a guy back to ‘Nam,” he tells us in an eight-page account of a phone call to the Rutgers Parking and Transportation For those willing to wade through it, however, “The Shadow Scholar” is a fascinating exposé of the remarkably robust industry of academic ghostwriting. Assuming that Mr. Tomar’s story is at least roughly faithful to the truth, his testimony amounts to a harrowing indictment of the modern American university’s current shortcomings as a meritocratic, credentializing institution, much less a home for mental and moral growth. Mr. Tomar didn’t just aid and abet casual cheating. Rather, he claims, he was engaged in a process of systemic intellectual fraud that students took advantage of all the way up the academic ziggurat: fabricating “personal statements” for unqualified college applicants; crafting term papers for undergraduates and “cockpit parents” who diligently directed their children’s plagiarism; sweating over doctoral dissertations with only one page of instructions to go on; even, in one extraordinary case, doing the writing for an entire Ph.D. program in cognitive and behavioral psychology on someone else’s behalf. Mr. Tomar’s dispatches from the dark side certainly do nothing to dispel the impression that, even as tuition hikes at many colleges outpace inflation, American colleges and universities may be delivering a product of declining value. Former Emory University president William Chace, in a recent essay on the normalization of cheating in the academy, wrote of a “suspicion that students are studying less, reading less, and learning less all the time.” The numbers back this up. Economists Philip Babcock and Mindy Marks reported in 2010 that the number of hours that full-time college students spent on their studies dropped by a third between 1961 and 2003, to 27 hours per week from 40. Having largely abandoned the mission of molding student character, many American universities and colleges today find themselves challenged to uphold the most minimal standards of technical training and assessment. Sociologists Josipa Roksa and Richard Arum, in their 2011 book “Academically Adrift,” found that, of a nationally representative sample of thousands of college students, over a third demonstrated “no significant progress on tests of critical thinking, complex reasoning and writing” after four years in college. Unable or unwilling to do the work, many students find it far easier to hand it off to a subcontractor.” Many of us can remember when beginning Latin was taught in high school. Now Remedial English is taught in college. I have said for many years the worst bargain in America is college. We don’t need more money for colleges, we need fewer students going to them. Many high school graduates should consider our Technology Centers. I have always believed they provide the biggest bang for your buck. I have three sons. Two went to college and one to Vo-Tech. The one that went to Vo-Tech has a better paying job with more benefits than the other two. Vo-Tech is not for everybody but neither is college Seniors need to consider both before making a choice. —CC— I am well award that making money should not be the major consideration in our job decision. One of my favorite authors, Phillip Gulley, writes that each of us needs to find a vocation that uses our God-given gifts or we will be a miserable human being. Phillip shares his journey toward finding his vocation: “The first job I ever had was delivering newspapers. I had twenty-two customers, but it took more than two hours to deliver the papers. I was raised to believe that it’s polite to inquire after a person’s health when you see him. Trouble was, all my customers were elderly. When I asked them how they were feeling, they told me. I did that for three years, then I quit to mow lawns and do odd jobs. Once, after a snowstorm, I earned twenty dollars shoveling out the widows on our street. I showed the money to my dad, and he made me take it back. He said it wasn’t right to take money from widows. I learned from that experience. The next time it snowed, I sent my little brother out to shovel. When I was sixteen, I went away for the summer to work at a national park. I earned fifty dollars a week, plus room and board. We spent the summer helping to renovate a historical building. I met my first girlfriend there. Ever since then, I’ve had a weakness for women in hard hats. Then I came home and got a job working in a grocery store. I used to sack groceries and put canned goods out. I almost went away to college to become a grocery store manager, but my dad advised against it. He said that the hours were long and the pay wasn’t all that great. So I became a minister instead. I’m glad my dad was looking out for me. When I graduated from high school, I worked for an electric utility for five years. I operated big computers. I hated it. To this day, I won’t own a computer. People look at me funny when they find out I don’t like computers. Once I tried writing on one, and the computer had the gall to suggest that I use one word in place of another. I don’t like computers telling me what to do. That’s what parents are for. I quit my computer job, got married, and started college. During college, I had a bunch of different jobs. One summer I got a job with the state highway picking up dead animals along the road. I always mention that in job interviews so prospective employers will know I’m willing to do anything to earn a living. While I was in college, I was hired by a country church to be their pastor. After worship I would find grocery sacks of sweet corn in my car. Plus, once a month we’d throw a pitch-in dinner. I was there for four years and gained twenty pounds. One year at Christmas they gave me a hand-stitched quilt. I can’t imagine a gentler way to initiate a young pastor into ministry than keeping food in his stomach and quilts on his bed. Now I pastor a church in the city. Been here six years. No quilt yet, but free baby-sitting and tears when we miscarried and people so tender they make Mother Teresa look like a slacker. I hope God keeps me here a long time. I’ve met a lot of people in my lifetime, and over the years I’ve had a lot of people bare their souls to me. Consequently, I’ve formed a few insights into what constitutes the good life. The first is this: Never ask people how they’re doing unless you really want to know. The second is this: Find a vocation that uses your God-given gifts, or you’ll be a miserable wretch of a human being. That’s the God’s truth. I know a guy who’s a janitor. He is thoroughly convinced that God has called him to be a janitor, and he loves it. He doesn’t make much money, but he’s one of the happiest persons I know. He worked real hard to put his children through college. So they went down to Bloomington to the state college, and now they earn a ton of money, but none of them are as happy as their father. If you have to choose between following money or following your heart, go with your heart. There are some choices we make that cannot be corrected. Squandering your life in a job that shrivels your soul isn’t one of them. Use your gifts. Follow your heart. HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—SEPTEMBER 26, 2012—PAGE 3 Dizzy Dean Day October 13th One of my favorite tales plorers to share tales about the is the story about the young Spaulding High School Sewell. nior couple who was curious about the depth of the well and decided they would use their advanced mathematics and science education to design an experiment to determine the depth. They had learned in school that a free falling object would have a velocity of about 32 ft. per second neglecting air resistance. A dense object would have minimal air resistance and its speed would be very near 32 feet per second. They believed that they could drop a rock into the well and count the number of seconds until they heard the rock hit the water. Once they knew the number of seconds it took the rock to hit the water, they could calculate a reasonable depth to the surface of the water. After carefully considering the validity of their experiment, they proceeded. They found a small rock, leaned over the well, noted the time, dropped the rock and carefully listening for the rock to hit the water. Several seconds passed and they never heard the water splash. They looked at each other with great excitement and concluded that this well must really be deep. SUE AND DOG HARROD ALWAYS ENJOY THE SING- They decided to repeat the ING AT DIZZY DEAN DAY - AND SO DO WE! experiment using a much larger rock which would make a bigger splash. Great care was taken to repeat this trial exactly as the previous one to assure scientific accuracy. They carefully listened for the larger rock to hit the water with a big splash, but they never heard anything. Not willing to admit defeat, they looked around and found a large railroad tie. Simultaneously, they decided to drop the railroad tie into the well. Surely this would make a big splash, and they would have the data they needed to estimate the depth to the water. The results were unbelievable. The two talented seniors were speechless and in shock. To their amazement, another young Spaulding freshman boy came running across the field toward them. He reached the well exhausted and quickly asked if they had seen his goat. He said, “I tied him to a railroad tie using a long rope so he could graze in the tall grass while I walked to the other side of the hill!”. These two senior stars were OUR LONG TIME FRIENDS RAYMOND AND MARGA- speechless as they looked RET ITSON TRY TO ATTEND THE EVENT EACH YEAR at each other. Finally, one looked at the boy and said, AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE A GREAT TIME. “You know, a few moments ago we saw the most unusual sight at this well. We looked up and saw a goat running as fast as he could toward the well. Without slowing down, he jumped head first into the well.” Happily to report, all three Lip Lick’n Good students survived the experience and went on to successful careers as adults.

The squad is composed of 15 sophomores, most of whom saw junior high action, 15 juniors and ten seniors. The Wolverines are somewhat lighter than last season with the top backfield averaging out at 162 and the most experienced line averaging 164.

Hard-hitting Boomer John Majors streaked to a touchdown from 20 yards out Tuesday night to tally the lone six-counter in the fifth annual Candy Bowl football classic in Wolverine Stadium. Majors carried the bacon home on a triple reverse just as the second quarter opened and the extra point try, a pass, was incomplete. The Boomers took their 6-0 win running a single wing offense and Coach Brent Adams commented this morning that signal caller Hartzell Schaff “performed well in confusing the defense.” However, Coach Lee Horne of the losing Sooners wasn’t working the crying towel as he said, “I was well satisfied with the Sooners’ playing—we just weren’t quite big enough.” The Sooners had offensive troubles early in the battle that never saw them past the 40-yard line on the Boomer end of the grid, but, after the Boomer TD, they tightened up defensively and stymied the winners’ offensive work. Approximately 800 fans turned out for the Rotary Club-sponsored Cub Scout thriller and Neal Clark, pack chairman, said this morning, “We were all surprised at the way those little fellows ran off their plays so well—it was just mighty efficient.” The gate receipts, a portion of which supports the entire Holdenville Cub Scout program for the year, totaled well over $300, according to Rotary Club officials and concession stand sales were at the top also, with the urging of announcer Paul Kennerly, who advised, “All the proceeds from the concession stand go to the Cub Scout program, so would you please go down and eat until you’re sick!” WOLVERINE CUB ROSTER REVEALED BY COACHES Head coach for the Wolverine Cubs, Warren Hurst, revealed recently that 28 players had checked out football equipment for the coming schedule which includes seven Twin Highway conference games. “We expect several more boys to come out for the Cub squad and interest will step up after school starts,” Assistant Coach Chuck Collins commented.

Boots & Bows Benefit Raises Funds For Carter Family What a wonderful night Boots & Bows had to honor our beloved Ralph Carter. We lost our wonderful square dance caller on Sept. 9th just three months after he was diagnosed with cancer. We had square dancers from the State office, District officers, Ardmore, Kingston, Tulsa, Sparks, Shawnee, Seminole, Davis, Duncan, Sapulpa, Stratford, Sulphur, McAlester, Jennings, and of course, Holdenville. All totaled over 80 square dancers and families to come to pay tribute to Ralph and Bonnie. Their son brought videos of his life to show as well. The evening started off with Jim Woolsey from Shawnee calling the Grand March. We had 8 squares on the floor with widow Bonnie Carter and Daryl Smith leading the march. Tommy Lee, a caller from Tulsa, was also on hand to help with the calling. Blue tablecloths covered the two long tables that were filled with finger-foods and desserts. Square dancers are known for their cooking! We had 21 bag prizes to buy tickets on as well as handcarved wooden clocks, picture frames, and fall decorations for our silent auction, half-pot and donations which generated over $2000.00 to help with funeral expenses. This generosity was overwhelming for Bonnie and was so appreciated by the family. When she was presented with the money, all she could say was “Thank you, thank you!” as she cried. Caller Jim ended the evening by calling one of Ralph’s favorite songs, “The Long Black Train”. We were able to include Bonnie in one of the squares. As we called it a night, we all joined in a circle with the men going one way and the women going another to shake hands or give a hug and tell everyone “Good Night!” The Boots & Bows club also lined up by the door to thank everyone for coming. Some of the guys darted back around and went through the line twice! It was a wonderful night for all of us and we were so thankful to everyone that came out to support Bonnie and our club in this way. Lynn Marquis We now have...

Oh, well! But the big winners of the night were Rusty Jones and Sharon Dilday! They won 7 games. Although Sharon shot it once and didn’t make it, she thought it didn’t count as her name wasn’t mentioned last week as shooting the moon and making it. Did she think that one would white-wash another?? Wrong! So, Sharon, what’s for refreshments next week!! A big “Thank You” to Jean Phillips for the pizza! Yea, Jean!

CAXCA HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—SEPTEMBER 26, 2012—PAGE 13 from Dayna’s Desk A while back we received a journal that belonged to HHS graduate Parker Rossman. He is the son of the late Rev. and Mrs. G.P. Rossman. Rev. Rossman was the pastor of the Holdenville First Christian Church in the 1930’s. Parker was a 1937 HHS graduate. Many of his fellow seniors wrote short notes in his journal just before graduation. Some are funny, some are serious, but each of them gives us a great look back at the “good old days” of HHS. Beginning today I will share some of the notes. The first one was written by Hartzell Schaff. As many of you know he was a well known local doctor for many years before moving to McAlester. He had three children, Martha, Hartzell, Jr. and Billy. His note read: My Dear George Parker Rossman. Hi Parker, my pal. You’ll do even if you do write putrid poetry. Hartzell Vernon Schaff, “Genius”. Dear George Parker Rossman, Jr. Hi Parker, Sincerely Yours Hartzell Vernon Schaff. George made a note that Hartzell became an MD (surgeon) and practiced in McAlester. —0— Billy Wallace wrote: Dear GPR, “Here’s to luck” Remember the good times we have had together. Remember me always, Bill. April 13, 1936 - Dear George P. Rossman, Whyfore I’m writing in this I don’t know, but here goes – Hi! With sincere joy I say. Yours never, Billy Wallace. George wrote that Billy was his best friend in high school and college, was the son of a doctor and became a psyciatrist in Merida Yucatan. —0— April 13, 1936 Dear Parker, You already know as well as I do that I will always remember you as a good friend. So there is not much else to say except that I wish you as much success from the end of school on as you have had the last four years in high school. Your friend, Hubert Francis DeWolf Worthy Dear Parker: I can’t forget you and I don’t want you to forget me as one of your best friends. Good luck and happiness – Hubert Worthy George wrote that he and Hubert was roommates at OU one Strothers Twin Cinema Seminole Oklahoma (405)382-7254 Starting Friday LAWLESS R 3-D PG Finding Nemo Matinees Daily All New Digital Picture & Sound Including 3D www.seminolemovies.com semester. He wrote that Hubert died in 1998 in Arizona. —0— April 13, 1936 Dear Parker, I hope you will remember the good times we used to have up in your trees. Big airships and airplanes, machine-guns and bombs; all in our big tree. Don’t forget me as your palsy-walsy. Remember your window that I put your paper in. Well, here’s lots of luck to ya. Your pal, Leland W. West Dear Parker, Remember me as your lifelong friend and fellow classmate of the Sr. class of ’35 and ’36. Lots of luck, Leland George wrote that Leland was a college roommate for one semester. He said that he saw him at the 50th class reunion. —0— Dear Parkyacarkas, It gives me a great deal of pleasure to write in your memory book. As I write this I recall the good times and fun we have had. I will always remember you as one of the finest friends a person could have. As ever, “Duke” Sarkeys Dearest Parkayakarcas, Don’t forget the fun we’ve had at dearl old HHS. Seniorally yours, “Duke” George wrote that Duke visited him in Beruit Lebanon in 1965. He said he saw in a Beruit newspaper headline that Duke’s father left 10 million dollars. Duke died in 1980. —0— April 13, 1936 Parker, It must be admitted that you are a person of exceeding abilities – as a humor writer your not so bad (don’t let that go to your head) but in the orchestra you’ll have to admit that I’m most as good as you are. I hope you have all the luck and success in the world and don’t do anything you shouldn’t. Your’s till— Margaret (guess what!)

Please remember just another. Dorothy George wrote that she became Mrs. Willis Lawson and that he saw her sister Ethel in Holdenville in 1979. —DD— We were pleasantly surprised at church a couple of weeks ago when our good friends Harvey and Sue Holliman visited us. They were very active in the Holdenville Church of the Nazarene for many years and Sue owned D’s Flower shop for many years. We sure miss them around here, but they are living in Oklahoma City close to their sons and grandchildren. Their son Mike works for Hudiburg 1st Anniversary Sale Join Us Sept 1 t0 Sept 29 Savings Beyond Belief! 1500 Hoppe Blvd, Suite 4 • Ada Chev-Buick-GMC in Oklahoma City. Their son, Keith is a Certified Physicians Assistant and is currently the Executive Director, Mercy Orthopedics and Sports Medicine at Sisters of Mercy Health System in Oklahoma City. Sue said she and Harvey stay pretty busy with the grandkids and are loving every minute of it! It was so good to see them and we hope they will sneak down here every now and then to visit us. —DD— Bill and I had the best visit with our good friend and former neighbor Melvin Swinhart this week. He is living in the Norman Veterans Center and seems to be doing very well. We laughed and reminisced and even sang a little together. Melvin said he is going to be 94 in January and it is really hard to believe. We talked about the different groups Melvin and Gladys had sang with. At one time or another Gladys sang with Bill’s aunt Christine Robinson Ellis, my cousin Minella Leewright and Geneva Pierce. Melvin, Gladys and Geneva sang many trios in the Church of the Nazarene and we always loved to hear them. I have sung with Melvin and Gladys on numerous occasions. One of the songs we sang together at funerals was “It Is Well With My Soul”. Bill asked Melvin what his favorite song is and he just laughed and said, “Bill, I have 400 songs and they are all my favorites!” I believe that. Melvin loves music and knows it well. He was choir director in our church for many, many years. I think over 50. We loved seeing Melvin and hope to visit him more often. —DD— Billye Treadwell stopped by recently and said she had visited with Jenny Fotenopulos and wanted to give us the correct spelling of her name. I am printing this today so we can have it in black and white. Maybe next time I’ll have a reference and will spell it correctly, but I’m not promising anything! —DD— We also had a great visit with our good friend Frank Crane recently. He is recuperating from a recent fall and pneumonia. He is doing much better, but still needs your prayers. We had a great time reminiscing about his days at HHS. He is still sharing his memories with us and we are enjoying them so much. He has such an incredible memory and I envy that. We will be praying for you, Frank!! —DD— Our good friends Don and Beverly Branum Vannoy recently returned from Louisiana where they visited their son and grandchildren. They had a great time and I am anxious to trade grandchildren “stories” with Bev. Don and Beverly are two of my favorite people and our family was so glad when they moved back to Holdenville. They are a real blessing to so many of us. —DD— Our “memory lane” news this week is from 1942. The following article about Mrs. Claude (Audrey) Barnard drew my attention. Audrey and her daughter Mary Kathryn Hurley were our good friends and at our wedding. Bill and I used to drop by and visit them and always had a good time. Bill still remembers that they kept the small bottled cokes for us and they were a real treat. Mary Kathryn’s daughter Lynn and Bill’s sister Penny were best friends from grade school up until Penny passed away. We have not heard from Mary Kathryn’s son Rick in many years. Here is the article from 1942. MRS. BARNARD TO HEAD PROJECT ON SOLDIER KIT BAGS Mrs. Claude Barnard has been appointed by Leon Akins, chairman of the Hughes County Red Cross chapter, as chairman of the chapter’s kit bag project for soldiers, sailors and marines leaving the United States. The county, Mrs. Barnard pointed out, has been requested to make 400 of the supply kits, 50 per month, starting this month and ending with April. Material for the bags, she explained, will be furnished the Red Cross chapter, and the bags are to be filled with donations of civic clubs and organizations, churches and school districts. Any person who wants to make and fill one of the bags may do so, Mrs. Barnard said. Material to be used, however, the chairman explained, has not arrived at the county chapter office. The cost of making the bags is about $1 each. They include such items as a small soap box with soap, playing cards, cigarettes, shoe polishing cloth, a pencil, envelopes and paper, chewing gum, tan shoe laces, waterproof match box, razor blades, pocket size humorous book and a sewing kit. Service men, she said, receive the bags at the embarkation point from where they leave for service on foreign soil. Several Hughes county men, Mrs. Barnard revealed, have written their parents that they received the small items as they embarked, and all expressed pleasure at receiving them. —DD— Bill was at the Historical Society Museum Friday when a gentleman came in to look around. His name was Marc Anderson and he lives in Tualatin, Oregon. Bill and Marc had a great visit and Bill learned that he is the son of the late Lucille Brewer. Lucille was a well-known local resident and passed away in the 1990’s. Although Marc never lived in Holdenville he still has several relatives in the area. One of the people he had hoped to see was Leo King. Bill has tried several times in recent weeks to call Leo but has been unable to get him. He was in the hospital for awhile but when we called there we found he had been dismissed. We are going to keep trying to reach him. Leo is one of our dearest friends and we really miss talking to him. —DD— We received a great letter from our dear friend Marie Friend Roberts this week. We want to share it with our readers: Dear Friends, In going through some things I ran across some funny things, thought you might also get a kick out of reading. I hope your friends have been well. I broke both my arms this year, after a few weeks the Dr. showed me my x-rays and the good Lord had grown me some brand new bones! Imagine that! I have osteoporosis; guess that’s why my bones break easily, but God is taking good care of me and Vicki and I are ready to get into her cute convertible and cruise down the highway. Maybe wind up in Holdenville; my favorite place to be. Keep sending us that good ol’ Hometown News! We love you both, Marie and Vicki See you soon! —DD— We also enjoyed hearing from our good friend Bob Anthony. He writes: 9-12-12 Dayna; We enjoy reading news about Holdenville from you and Bill. I was talking to you when we visited last year about news about 1955 graduates. I have found a well informed source in Barbara Cummins. She now lives in Norman and we both worked for OG&E for years. Thanks, Bob Anthony —DD— We reminded the Leewrights of the upcoming reunion last week, but this week I wanted to share a picture with you of Lafayette and Sarah Ellen Craft Leewright’s family. We acquired this picture from a family member last year and it will always be treasured.
