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

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.

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

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

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.”

cently, “but we’re still in one of
BOOMERS WIN, 6-0 IN
the roughest conferences in the CANDY BOWL TILT
state.”
The lineup includes eight senior lettermen and four juniors
holding the Wolverine “H”. 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.
The hometown crew will travel
for a scrimmage tussle to Oklahoma City Capitol Hill Friday
where they’ll tangle with the
Redskins at 6:30 p.m. Fans are
urged to travel with the Wolverines and watch the conflict at 36th
and Walker.
Here is this year’s Wolverine
Roster:
QUARTERBACKS
Denny Anderson; 155; senior
Johnny Whaley; 135; junior
Joe Winningham; 135; soph.
David Baker; 150; senior

Ben Stepany; 150; senior

FULLBACKS

Jack Huey; 145; soph.
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.
The Cubs have been working
out since last Tuesday evening.

BOOTS AND BOWS MEMBERS ARE PICTURED ABOVE AT A BENEFIT HONORING
THE LATE RALPH CARTER WHO WAS THEIR CALLER.
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.

Game Night News
We had 16 “Moon” players tonight! That means when your
team loses, two more are there to take your place. That makes it
more interesting and you get to say hi to everyone.
Team members were: Arjean Williams and Geraldine Ingram
winning 4 games including Arjean shooting the moon on their very
last game. Good job, Arjean! Reba Lovelace and Glenda Smith won 3 games. Naomi Tomlinson and Marie Grimes won 2 games. Margaret Newman and won 2
game. Everyone was wanting to borrow Marie’s “Crying Towel”. My guess is that she didn’t need it any more! Margaret and Cheryl
Stinnett won 2 games. Cheryl and Naomi won 2 games including
Naomi shooting the moon and making it! Shirley Hardwick and
Betty Sharp won 2 games. Selma Fitzhugh and Norma Summy
won 3 games including Selma shooting the moon and making it!
Yea Selma! Jean Phillips and Sue Wood won 3 games including
Jean shooting the moon, not once, but twice and making it both
times! I guess that means that she’s Not bringing pizza next week!! Lynn Marquis and Joyce Yates finally won 1 game. Lynn thought
their luck had turned when she shot the moon and went down! She isn’t going to be there next week. Do you think that they will
forget? 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! And to Selma for the homemade pecan tassies. And I can’t forget
Naomi for the cookies! Yes, we not only had a feast but we had a
lot of fun!
For a good time, come and join us next week!
See ya then!

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.

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

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.

Billye Treadwell stopped

I’ll have a reference and will spell
it correctly, but I’m not promising
anything!

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!!

Our good friends Don

so glad when they moved back
to Holdenville. They are a real
blessing to so many of us.

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.

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.

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!

We also enjoyed hearing from
our good friend Bob Anthony. He
writes:

Dayna;

I was talking to you when we

We reminded the Leewrights
