Spc. Kyle Minor puts bay gelding Cody through his paces near the old stables. The Soldiers’ military occupational specialties include motor transport operator (Minor), supply clerk, and Patriot missile operator, but for a year, they are all members
of the Fort Sill Artillery Half Section.
Half section to go to Rose Bowl Parade
Story, photos
By Cindy McIntyre
This New Year’s Day will be the first time Fort Sill’s
Artillery Half Section will participate in the Tournament of
Roses in Pasadena, Calif. The invitation to the Rose Parade
came about with the help the 1st Cavalry Division Horse
Cavalry Detachment out of Fort Hood, Texas, which has
appeared frequently in the esteemed parade.
“Their help has been outstanding,”said Gerald Stuck, chief
of the Artillery Half Section, who claims both Mad River and
Fortuna, Calif. as his hometown.
Maj. Gen. John Rossi, Fires Center of Excellence and Fort
Sill commanding general, was inspired by seeing Fort
Hood’s horsemen in the parade, and encouraged Stuck to
see if his unit could participate as well. Stuck sent photographs and videos to the parade committee and an invitation
followed.
In preparation for the three-day trip, the Soldiers are servicing all the trailers and trucks, and making sure the new riders will have their ducks in a row before appearing on
national television.The team has traveled to every state east
of the Rockies, and this will be the first time west. They do
45-60 demonstrations each year, including at change-ofcommand ceremonies, and also pull a caisson for funerals.
The Half Section started in 1963, and became a special ceremonial unit two decades later. Newbies to the section are
given a 21-day trial period which includes a riding, jumping,
and agility test. “Most of the Soldiers have never ridden
before,” said Stuck. He gets them for only a year, and they
come from many different military occupational specialties.
“By the time I get them trained, I lose them, and have to start
all over,”he lamented.
Any trip involving overnight stops has to be carefully
planned. Stuck uses a resource that lists “horse motels”
which will board horses in transit. The first stop will be El
Paso,Texas, and then Blythe, Calif., before winding up at the
Los Angeles Equestrian Center stables in Burbank, Calif.
They stop every three hours to allow the horses to rest, since
it takes effort for them to keep balanced in the swaying and
bouncing trailers. A separate equipment trailer carries the
tack, hay, grain, and water, and acts as a changing room
when the Soldiers are ready to don their dress uniforms.
Now retired from the Oklahoma National Guard, Stuck
had been a wheel driver in the Half Section from 1992 to
1993. Even though he’s a civilian, he wears the historic
Model 1912 cotton summer uniform with the campaign hat
as he leads the section during demonstrations and ceremonies.

Fort Sill recognized its instructors, and curriculum
developers of the year Dec. 10, at Snow Hall
Honored for excellence were:
Air Defense Artillery Officer Instructor Capt. Jason
Roberts, Headquarters A Battery, 2nd Battalion, 6th
ADA.
Field Artillery Officer Instructor Marine Capt. Alan
Bock, Marine Corps Artillery Detachment (MARDET).
FA Warrant Officer Instructor Chief Warrant Officer
3 Timothy Giroux, 1st Battalion, 30th FA.
FA Noncommissioned Officer Instructor Staff Sgt.
Aaron Shugard, 428th FA Brigade staff and faculty.
ADA NCO Instructor Staff Sgt. Daniel Smith, 2-6th
ADA.
MARDET Instructor of the Year Marine Sgt.Timothy
Shoaf.
MARDET Curriculum Developer Marine Gunnery
Sgt. Osman Lima.
Department of the Army Civilian Instructor Dwight
Thurman, B Battery, 3-6th ADA.
Maj. Gen. John Rossi, Fires Center of Excellence and
Fort Sill commanding general, told the honorees that
what they do is critically important to the military’s
number one priority: readiness.
“We have an obligation to give the best product possible in the form of a Soldier or a Marine that is ready
to go,” Rossi said. “What you’re doing is extremely
important.”
The general said instructors today are faced with
creating better service members, while having less
time, dollars and instructors to do so, than when he
was a young lieutenant 32 years ago.
“There’s only one way you’re going to do it, and
that’s where your innovation comes in and how you
teach,”the general said.
Despite all the technologies available in a modern
classroom, the students will only get what the instructor puts into the classroom, he said.
“That product (students) is only going to be as good
as how much you put into it,” Rossi said. “How much
heart you put into it, how much thinking you put in
being innovative and creative.”
Roberts, who is the ADA Captains Career Course
manager, is responsible for the curriculum development and execution of each class, which averages four
a year with 60 students in each class.

Soldiers honored as noncommissioned officers, Soldiers of the quarter
Story, photo
By Jeff crawley
Fort Sill recognized its noncommissioned officers and Soldiers of
two quarters during a ceremony
Dec. 10, at Snow Hall.
Sgt. Marcus Dudley and Spc.
Ryan Hayes were honored as the
NCO and Soldier, respectively, of
the fourth quarter Fiscal 2015.
Hayes, who is assigned to the
428th Field Artillery Brigade, was
unable to attend the ceremony.
Dudley works at A Battery, 1st
Battalion, 31st Field Artillery, as a
maintenance officer.
“I’m very honored to represent
my battalion and brigade,” said
Dudley, 31, originally from Selma,
Ala.“I’m very excited and motivated to try and go for NCO of the
Year.”
Dudley, a chemical maintenance
specialist, is working outside his
branch. He’s in charge of the physical security of facilities used by
Soldiers in Initial Entry Training.
Cpl. Aaron Septimo, Sgt. Stephanie Clements and Sgt. Marcus Dudley
were honored as the post recognized its NCOs and Soldiers of two quarters Dec. 10, at Snow Hall. Spc. Ryan Hayes, who could not attend the
ceremony, was also honored.
wanted to be a Soldier because I
wanted to part of something that is
greater than I am,”he said.
Septimo’s
supervisor
Sgt.
Jennifer Thomas, Headquarters
and Headquarters Battery, 3-2nd
ADA, described Septimo as “one of
the best Soldiers I’ve ever had.”
“He takes initiative, he’s very
focused, driven and he likes to help
Soldiers and make connections,”
Thomas said.“If you need anything
he’s the person to talk to.”

Stephanie Clements and Cpl.
Aaron Septimo, winning as NCO
and Soldier, respectively.
“I was surprised that I won, but I
feel pretty good,” said Clements,

example to our Soldiers,”he said.
Septimo, who works as an emergency care sergeant, said he was
honored about the recognition.
“I feel proud of myself,” said
Septimo, 21, a San Diegan.

While many, during the holidays, enjoy receiving gifts, Spc.
Kassundra Harper said one of her
most favorite memories isn’t
about the gift she received but the
gift she gave. One year Harper
volunteered to shop for three children who were living in a foster
home in Lawton.
“We got a chance to go and deliv-
er the gifts to the
children and it
was nice,” said
Harper. “They
brought in a
Santa and it was
nice to see
Santa hand out
the gifts to the
children.”
Harper said the experience
made it the best gift she has been
able to give.
“To give to kids,” she said, “it’s
just a good feeling.”

and Soldier of the month/quarter
programs to identify the best of
their best. Soldiers begin at battery
and company levels, progress to
the battalion level, then brigade
and eventually to the post-level
competition.
The selection process includes
physical fitness tests, uniform
inspections, warrior skills tests,
and grueling appearances before a
board at each level.
In addition to the physical
requirements ands-on warrior testing, competitors must be knowledgeable about Army history, customs, drills and ceremonies,
administrative regulations, leadership roles and current events. The
comptition requires endless hours
of studying, said all of the winners.
“It took hours and hours of study
and patience and dedication,” said
Dudley, who has been in the Army
nine years and at Fort Sill for two
years.

Roberts said the recognition was great, “but it’s more
a validation of the instructor certification program we
have at the Fires Center of Excellence which really sets
us up for success.”
Shoaf teaches artillery meteorological operations to
enlisted and officer Marines. He said he wanted to be an
instructor so he could make a difference with both
entry-level and career Marines.
He said he stresses two-way communication in his
class, and that he works closely with his fellow instructors as well as mentors.
Thurman teaches Advanced Individual Training students in the military occupational specialty 14E Patriot
(missile) fire control enhanced operator/maintainer
course.
“I feel honored to be selected,” said Thurman, who
retired as a sergeant first class in 2007.“It’s a great thing
that they recognize civilians along with their military
counterparts.”
James Jones, 3-6th ADA supervisory instructor,
described Thurman as an outstanding instructor, who
trains Soldiers for realistic environments.
“He makes sure Soldiers know what they need to
know when they go into combat,” Jones said. He added
it is Thurman’s friendly, outgoing personality and professionalism that sets him apart from other instructors.
All the honorees received a two-star note of commendation, said program narrator John Starling. The
Soldiers also received the Army Commendation Medal.
The Marines received the Navy/Marine Corps
Achievement Medal, and Thurman received the Army
Commander’s Award for Civilian Service.
The instructors will move on to the Training and
Doctrine Command’s instructor of the year competition.

Members of the Fort Sill Veterinary Treatment Facility
taught the firefighters of Station 4 how to give CPR and other
first aid interventions to military working dogs and other
animals. While many of the techniques such as treating
bleeding wounds and burns were similar to treating humans,
animals are often more sensitive to injuries and will deteriorate more quickly if untreated.
Spc. Brianna Jamieson warned the 18 firefighters present
that, as with humans, CPR has a high failure rate, but it is
worth trying to save the life of a military working dog or
someone’s pet. Circulating blood is the only way to resuscitate a dog from cardiopulmonary arrest, said Jamieson, but
if a second responder is present, breathing into a dog’s
mouth can help as well.
Capt.AuvianWilliams said keeping the beat to the song“Staying
Alive”helps assure the 120 compressions a minute dogs need.

Sill Veterinary Services; Giovanni Naselli, Station 4 firefighter; Capt. Auvian Williams, branch chief of Veterinary
Service; and Spc. Brianna Jamieson, veterinary technician; pose for a photo.
Capt. Auvian Williams, branch chief of Fort Sill Veterinary
Services, demonstrates how to do CPR on a small dog, compressing both sides of the chest. On a large dog, like the
training aid dog Jerry, compression would only be on one side
with the floor or table acting to compress the other side to
keep the heart beating.

they had one week’s notice that they would be appearing before the Nov. 19-20 FCoE boards, so they
crammed together.
“It was nightly studying,” Septimo said.
“We did questions-and-anwers back-and-forth,” said
Clements, a Patriot (missile) fire control enhanced operator/maintainer, currently working as a communications specialist,“If I didn’t know something, he knew it.
If he didn’t know something, I knew it.”
All the honorees received the Army Commendation
Medal and FCoE Command Sergeant’s Major coin of
excellence presented by Command Sgt. Maj. Brian
Lindsey. They also received numerous gifts from community and post sponsors.
The FCoE quarterly winners will compete for the
installation NCO, and Soldier of the Year. Those two
winners will move up to the Training and Doctrine
Command’s NCO and Soldier of the year competition.
DUI
A Soldier from Reynolds Army Community
Hospital was arrested for driving under the influence while on leave in Texas. On Dec. 10 at about
11 p.m., the Soldier was taken into custody. He
was unsuccessful in notifying his command with
his collect call attempts. He was finally able to
contact a noncommissioned officer Dec. 12. The
Soldier remained jailed until he met with a judge,

Community Hospital;
Anita Deloney from Army Sustainment Command; and
Adrian Nuñez from the Fort Sill Noncommissioned
Officer Academy.
FORT KNOX, Kentucky — U.S.
Army Human Resources Command,
or HRC, announced Dec. 14 the availability of the DA Form 2166-9 series,
the revised Noncommissioned
Officer, or NCO, Evaluation Report,
or NCOER, and its activation in the
web-based Evaluation Entry System,
or EES.
As detailed in Military Personnel,
or MILPER, Message 15-395, the
effective policy date for use of the
2166-9 series will be Jan. 1.
Activation of the revised NCOER
forms now allows Soldiers and raters
to immediately begin to prepare
NCOERs with a“through date”of Jan.
1 and later.
The 2166-9 series consists of three
revised NCO rating forms based on
grade plate that mandate distinct
rater and senior rater roles, and
incorporate a senior rater profile and
rater tendency assessment.
Soldiers who are due to receive a
mandatory report between now and
Dec. 31 of this year will continue to
receive that report, whether it be an
annual, an extended annual or a
change of rater report, using the DA
Form 2166-8 series of report forms.
Sergeants first class who are eligible for the FY 2016 Regular Army
and U.S. Army Guard Reserve
Master Sergeant Promotion Boards
will also employ the 2166-8 series
NCOER form, said Sgt. Maj. Stephen
McDermid of HRC's Evaluation
Branch.
Details were published in MILPER
15-340, Oct. 27. For board eligible
NCOs, who have not received a
mandatory report as outlined in
MILPER 15-340, he or she will receive
an HRC-directed Code 19 Evaluation
with a through date of Dec. 31.
“This will ensure those individuals
eligible for that board receive a closeout evaluation,”McDermid said.
Training modules for proper use of
the revised NCOER forms and an
EES test site have been and remain
available on the HRC website for
Soldiers and raters to practice with.
Detailed training modules have
been posted to HRC Evaluations
Branch website as well as S1NET
and are available for download on
DVIDS a https://www.dvidshub.net/
tags/video/ncoer. The training modules lead NCOs and raters through
the process, section by section, in an
easy-to-understand
manner,
McDermid said.
In addition to the activation of the
NCOER forms, MILPER 15-395 also
announced an update to the OER, or
Officer Evaluation Report, forms that
incorporate the use of Department of
Defense ID numbers, or DoDID, in
place of Social Security numbers.
The new NCOER forms will also
use DoDID numbers in place of
Social Security numbers.The DoDID,
which appears on Soldiers' Common
Access Cards, is being phased in as
part of the federal government's
effort to remove Social Security
numbers from as many documents as
possible.

Parade
From Page 1A
“We’ll probably wear the 1936 khaki
uniforms at the Rose Bowl,”he said.The
parade travels a 5-1/2 mile route and
will take about three hours.
The ceremonial half section team
consists of eight people, (a full section
would include another team of horses
pulling a separate ammo caisson).
Stuck, the section chief, and guidon
bearer Pfc. Hunter Lowry ride out front.
Each pair of horses pulling the gun is
guided by one rider. Spc. Kyle Minor of
Coalinga, Calif., is in charge of the two
lead horses, and they are the most surefooted steeds who set the pace. The
swing pair’s rider is Spc. Craig Anson of
Michigan. They help maneuver the
team, swinging in and out to keep the
traces off the ground. The biggest and
strongest horses in back are guided by
the wheel driver, Spc. Jayson Bohner.
Three cannoneers sit on the limber
where the ammunition is stored, and
the gun is pulled behind. The cannoneers are Spc. Collin Julian of
Virginia, Spc. Jason Harrison of
Georiga, and Pvt. Nathaniel Shiosee of
New Mexico.
Technically known as a Model 1897
French 75 field piece, the 75mm cannon is credited for turning the tide of
World War I because it could fire so
quickly without being re-aimed. It was
the first hydro-pneumatic recoil field
weapon invented, thus its development
was so secret that various parts of the
gun were built in a different location,
said Stuck. The cannon used by the
Half Section was built in 1918 and was
used as a training gun for the artillery
school; it never saw combat.
There will also be demonstrations
prior to the parade, beginning Dec. 29 at
the Equestrian Center which will be
filmed by RFD-TV, a cable and satellite
channel covering rural America. Their
traditional demo consists of the figure 8,
disconnecting and then firing the gun,
relimbering, hooking back up to the
gun, and pass and review.
The horses are all black-legged bay
geldings, and their manes are roached,
trimmed into a buzz cut for uniformity.
There was also a logistical reason for
this as well. During World War I their
manes would retain the mustard gas
agent which could be inadvertently
released after the gas attack had passed,
poisoning the Soldiers, said Stuck.
Although there are eight equine units
in the Army, Fort Sill’s is the only
remaining horse-drawn artillery unit,
said Stuck. The horses are named after
former commanding generals.
“You have to ask permission to name
a horse after someone,” he said. “If
they’re deceased we get permission
from the family.”
Stuck buys horses saddle broke
because he doesn’t have time to break
them in. Still, it takes up to five years to
get them trained to perfection, and if a

horse can’t make the cut, or is retired, an
adoptive home is sought. Rigby and
Marty will soon be put out to pasture.
Marty is going to a retiring Army major
who wants to start a riding therapy program for handicapped children.
Just like people, the equine Soldiers
also have individual personalities.
“General McDonald was doing ceremonies within two weeks,”said Stuck. A
standardbred pacer from the New
Jersey racetracks, he has the traits his
breed is known for. “They are built to
pull,” said Stuck. “They were known as
the war horse. He’s like a big dog. He’ll
turn six this January. He will climb in
your pocket if you let him.”
Except for two standardbreds, the
other 10 horses are quarter horses, the
traditional ranch horse. Stuck thinks the
ideal age for a working horse is seven to
nine years of age.“They’ve seen a lot and
done a lot by then.”In addition to getting
them used to the sound of the artillery
piece, they are also trained to be calm
around crowds, waving flags, and other
distractions and surprises.
The stable area is part of the National
Historic Landmark. Most of the picturesque buildings were crafted by Buffalo
Soldiers from stone in nearby quarries
in 1870. New horses are quarantined in
the stone stable area for three weeks to
be sure they are completely healthy
before introducing them to the other

horses.The paddock was a former World
War II era barracks and parking lot.
While the uniforms are recreated
from the traditional patterns, the saddles are genuine century-old 1904
McClellans, some with the original
leather. Stuck learned how to restore
the saddles and tack with leatherworking skills learned from Ed Shroader,
the Half Section NCOIC when Stuck
was here in 1992-93. Later, the Army
sent him to school to be a saddlemaker
(who knew the Army had a saddle
school?) He has a fine Western saddle
in his office which he made from
scratch.
As of press date, the order of appearance of Fort Sill’s Field Artillery Half
Section is not known, but the parade,
which will be televised, begins January
1, at 8 a.m. Pacific Time with a theme of
“Find Your Adventure.” The 2016 grand
marshal will be documentary filmmaker Ken Burns.
Being turned out to pasture with breakfast hay brings out the playful side of the
equine Soldiers of Fort Sill’s Artillery Half Section.

Sponsors’ generosity appreciated by Fort Sill
By Jeff Crawley
Photos by Sara Mazzo
Fort Sill thanked 78 local community sponsors for their generosity during its annual Sponsorship
Appreciation Ceremony Dec. 8, at
the Patriot Club.
Their cash donations and inkind gifts were valued at almost
$300,000, said Logan Ralston, Fort
Sill Family and Morale, Welfare
and Recreation’s Commercial
Sponsorship and Advertising coordinator.
“It’s great to see sponsors doing
this because all the donations go
toward events for the community,
Soldiers and their families,” he
said. “Sponsorship builds a connection between Fort Sill and
Lawton, because we have a lot of
Soldiers who live off post.”
Sponsored events ranged from
unit 5k runs to FMWR events to
the Fires Seminar to the Army 10miler team to the St. Barbara Ball
to award ceremonies.
Maj. Gen. John Rossi, Fires
Center of Excellence and Fort Sill
commanding general, thanked the
sponsors.
Sponsor donations help reduce
the Army’s cost of events, which
results in greater participation,
especially for junior Soldiers and
their families, the general said.
Lawton-Fort Sill is one community, and sponsorships strengthen
the community relationship,
Rossi said. Community events
help Lawton learn about Fort Sill,
and help Soldiers learn about
Lawton.
“None of the sponsors do this for
recognition, they do this because
they feel it is the right thing to do
and they want to contribute,” said
Rossi, during another sponsored
event, the Toys for Kids program
opening Dec. 14.
During the sponsorship ceremony, Rossi; Col. Glenn Waters,
Fort Sill Garrison commander;
Garrison Command Sgt. Maj.
Walter Puckett and Brenda
Spencer-Ragland,
Fort
Sill
FMWR director, presented a certificate of appreciation to each
sponsor organization. Sponsors
were recognized at the bronze,
silver, gold, platinum and patriot
levels.
Pam & Barry’s Team RE/MAX
Professionals was one the sponsors recognized.
Why do they sponsor?
“Because without Fort Sill, without people serving this country, we

wouldn’t be here,” said Pam
Marion, broker associate. “Really,
that’s why we do it.”
Corvias Military Living was
another sponsor honored. Some of
the events Corvias sponsored
included the month of the military
child, Easter Eggstravaganza, military spouse appreciation night,
75th Fires Brigade run, Devil Dog
run, summer concerts, Army 10miler team, Family of the Year,
Fallen Soldier memorial run; and
the holiday tree lighting activities –
which it has done for several
years, said Amber McNeil, Corvias
business director.
“One of things we accomplish
through our sponsorship is that we
are able to touch more Fort Sill
Soldiers and families and to
improve their quality of life,”
McNeil said.
Corvias appreciates its partnership with the post and FMWR and
looks forward to attending and
providing for community events,
whether it is volunteers or monetary contributions, she said.
As part of the festivities, Ralston
displayed a symbolic, oversized
check for $295,829 — the amount
donated by sponsors.
Across the Army, Fort Sill ranks
near the top in sponsorships, said
Brenda Spencer-Ragland, Fort Sill
FMWR director. “That shows the
incredible relationship we have
with our local supporters.”
In addition to the nearly
$300,000 local sponsorship donations, the Enrique Iglesias concert
national sponsorship during summer was valued at $500,000,
Spencer-Ragland said.
FMWR is planning two free concerts for the community in 2016.
“The only way I can provide free
concerts is through sponsorship,”
she said.
She explained concerts that are
free to attendees still incur major
costs to the Army for lodging,
transportation, equipment, food
and other logistical costs. “The
sponsorship allows us to cover
those services, which means we
can cover the event.”
In his conclusion, Rossi said he
was looking forward to building
the relationships with the sponsors
during the new year.

Fort Sill circa. 1870
History comes alive after sunset
Story, photos
By Cindy McIntyre
History came alive on the
night of Dec. 12 in Fort Sill’s
Old Post Quadrangle when
men in 1870s uniforms and
women in antebellum dresses took on the personas of
folks now read about in history books.
The annual Candlelight
Stroll sponsored by the Fort
Sill
National
Historic
Landmark and Museum
began as the threatening
skies darkened into evening,
and groups of visitors were
led to various stops by “frontier” Soldiers lighting the
way with lanterns.
Lori Siltman and several
other volunteers oversaw
the refreshment table in the
museum, where each tour
group gathered. Her dark
blue taffeta hoop dress billowed about her, and a
cameo brooch adorned her
collar. Costumes such as
these are custom made by
online retailers such as
CivilWarLady.com,
said
Siltman. Some were also
provided by the museum,
which gets many of its
exhibit clothing from similar
sources.
Eight of the women in
period attire belong to the
Gentle Tamers, a volunteer
group that supports the
museum. The name refers to
the women pioneers, who
managed the same harsh
conditions as their menfolk
with a feminine touch.
Marcia Peppel, a retired
kindergarten teacher, wore a
more functional dress made
of red cotton twill. It featured a row of buttons in
front, a bustle, and a layered
crinoline petticoat over pantaloons. “Everything had to
be up to your neck, and
dresses had long sleeves,”
she said. It wasn’t just from
modesty. “It was protection
from insects and the sun,
too.”
She and friend Wallace
Moore Sr., who played a
Buffalo Soldier outside the
Cavalry Barracks, have a
non-profit business telling
the story of the AfricanAmerican of the West.
“We do re-enactments for
other museums,” she said.
“Seven of 10 cowboys on the
Chisholm Trail were black.
Most people don’t know
that.”
She said Moore is a “cowboy poet” and she helped
him put down his oral poetry into words which became
a book, “Ebony Horse
Soldier: Poems of the
Buffalo Soldiers, Volume 1”
published in 2013.
Outside the old barracks,
Moore, a retired Army
infantryman, related a tale
of an unfortunate cavalry
Soldier who had to patrol
Maj. Lucas Sparks, 1st Battalion,19th Field Artillery executive officer, and Jonathan
Bernstein, director of the training support and Army Technology preservation facility, sit on

stroll.
the stables area, which had a
very unpleasant odor. A
young child came along,
noticed
his
depressed
demeanor, and reminded
him that “our Lord and
Savior” was born in such a
stable. As he related the
story, Kenneth Reese, a
retired field artillery Soldier,
played a Buffalo Soldier corporal who softly hummed
Christmas hymns in the
background.
Although there was no
interpretive talk given in the
Sherman House this year, a
walk-through allowed visitors to see the lovely home
with its two fireplaces and
Christmas trees, as well as
the other decorations and
furnishings. The current residence of Maj. Gen. John
Rossi and his wife, Liz, it
was so named because it
was where Kiowa warriors
attempted to kill General
William Tecumseh Sherman
during a council on its steps
in 1871.
One stop was at the office
of the first post commander
Col. Benjamin Grierson, portrayed by director of museum services Frank Siltman.
He said the Fort, which in
the 1870s was 150 miles by
wagon from the nearest railroad station, was established
to protect settlers from the
Indians, and to keep the
“Sooners” out of Indian
Territory as well. He also
organized and commanded
the 10th Cavalry Regiment
of free black men and former slaves who came to be
known as Buffalo Soldiers.
Grierson declined offers
to command other units, to
the dismay of his superiors.
“They were good Soldiers
and committed to serve on
the frontier,” he said of his
desire to stay with them.
Alvie Cater, museum
interpretive
volunteer
staffing the Guardhouse,
looked like someone out of
the TV show “Lonesome
Dove.”He has played Deputy
U. S. Marshall James H.
Mershon for the last 12
years. Although Mershon
escorted many ruthless lawbreakers to trial at Fort
Smith, Arkansas, one of the
jail’s most famous residents
was Chiricahua Comanche
warrior Geronimo, who is
buried on post.
Turnout
for
the
Candlelight Stroll was lower
than in previous years, said
Frank Siltman, who blamed
the forecast of thunderstorms
that
evening.
However, the night was
warm and pleasant, with not
a drop of rain. For people
who appreciated a peek into
Fort Sill’s history, this portrayal of life on the frontier
post was an opportunity that
comes but once a year.
The Sherman House, residence of the installation’s commanding general, was open for a
walk-through tour of a historic home embellished with modern holiday decor for the season.

“Fun money & confidence”
Army wife’s gift shop helps military spouses
Story, photos
By Monica K. Guthrie
A small 19-by-19 foot store
(about the size of a living room)
called MEW&Co., sits on the main
drag of Medicine Park, across from
the stage.
Mary Wunderlich, an Army
spouse, opened the store in June,
selling her own handmade stationery and also purses, jewelry,
photography, toys and more hand
crafted from friends, family and
other Army spouses.
“I always wanted to have a store,
but I did not know that it was
going to be like this, that’s for
sure,” she said. “I’m very EastCoast style and in Oklahoma there
are people from all around. They
like this style and it’s really great.”
She began the dream years ago
when as a child she would sell her
drawings to family members for 10
cents. Wunderlich and her husband, Alexander, were living in
Hagerstown, Md., with her working at FedEx and her husband
working at a restaurant. She was
selling her cards wholesale to a
local store but wanted more.
“I wanted to get a really old
brick-and-mortar shop downtown
in more of an urban area,” said
Wunderlich. ‘They had this great
downtown, but it’s really dying so
we decided not to.”
As the couple debated their
future plans they decided to move
to Austin,Texas, for its thriving art
and music scene. They dropped
everything, sold everything and
moved to Texas in June 2013. They
each got a job, however were not
making large strides in achieving
their dream. During their son’s
second birthday they realized they
couldn’t stay in their current financial position.
“I thought, ‘OK, I really want to
pursue this. What do we need to
do?’” she said. “It was kind of that
point where we are really happy
and this is funny that Calvin is so
unaware of everything right now,
but if he gets older and we continue like this, he’s going to realize
that we are really poor and I don’t
want that.”
In October of 2013, Alexander
joined the Army. While he attended basic training and advanced
individual training, Wunderlich
returned back to the East Coast
where she was able to focus on
her stationary and invitations.
She said during this time she
honed her skills and developed
her confidence in herself and her
work. Her clientele expanded
through word of mouth and as
she produced work, they returned
to make new purchases.
But soon she would have to
move again.The couple arrived to
Fort Sill in February 2014 and
Mary Wunderlich, owner of MEW& Co., works on a necklace in her store in downtown Medicine Park.
Wunderlich’s store features all hand-crafted items made by herself, family, friends and military spouses.
Wunderlich said she has plans to
add furniture to the shop and possibily expand to other locations.
Wunderlich, like many spouses,
was underwhelmed with their
first duty station and their new
home.
“I wasn’t thrilled because it
wasn’t anything like we were
used to,”she said.“We were just in
Austin which is beautiful and
urban and I loved that thing. I
was not a fan of it here.”
The couple ventured to
Medicine Park to see a band play
and “fell in love,” she said.
Alexander considered creating a
recording studio in one of the
available shops and Wunderlich
joined him in conversations with
landlords.
“It wasn’t in my mind to open a
store.They told us how much rent
was and that’s when it clicked. I
could open a store. I could do
this.”
The pieces fell into place. A
storefront right on the main road
opened up and Wunderlich took
the chance to do what she’d been
trying to do for years. The building was formerly an indoor eating area with mustard yellow
walls inside and out, a red door
and fluorescent lights. A few days
of manual labor, paint buckets
and some “East-Coast style”transformed Wunderlich’s dream into
reality.
The very first day of the store’s
opening Wunderlich earned
enough money to cover her first
month’s rent. She sold items
made from family and a few
friends
from
Arizona,
Washington, D.C. and Oklahoma
City. Her success only fueled the
desire to help others and she said
she began to thinking, “here are
these people and this is what we
can do. Who else do we need to
get in here?”
“I wanted to have a completely
hand-made store,” she said. “I
thought ‘well, how am I going to
get there? I can’t do it so who can
I help?”
Wunderlich thought about her
sister who is a stay-at-home mom
and who was selling items in the
new store, and then about other
stay-at-home moms who may
need help in boosting their confidence.
“I can help (stay-at-home
moms),” she said. I can give
(them) that confidence and show
them off for them.”
With that Wunderlich began to
involve military wives with a
knack for crafting. One of the
spouses sells jewelry in the store
and is almost always at the top of
the list in terms of who earned the
most profit each month she said.
“That’s so cool to be able to do
that for people,” Wunderlich said.
“You’re not only providing them
with a little bit extra fun money,
but you’re giving them that confidence that I’d always strived for.
You carry yourself differently
when you’re confident. You treat
people differently when you’re
confident. Your entire outlook on
life can change. I don’t mean confident as in stuck up, but confident in knowing your value and
being valued and feeling like you
have something to give.”
Wunderlich plans on adding
small furniture pieces to her store
and is excited about the possibility of expanding to other locations.
Still she says she loves her small
little store and is amazed at how
well it has done.
“It’s so humbling that people
are choosing these things over
everyone else — the mall, big
stores, Target, you can get really
trendy cool-looking things for
half the price of a lot of the stuff
that’s in here,” she said “But people are buying it because they like
us, they’re believe in what we’re
doing and the item.This is quality,
we’re supporting this person and
that is huge.”
Spending the Holidays in Lawton
By Monica K. Guthrie
Contrary to my headline, I won't be
spending the holidays in Lawton. I'll be
visiting family in Texas – it will be the first
time in years I've been home for Christmas
and I'm pretty excited about.
But that does mean I won't be here to
give you guys ideas on things to do. Rather
than leave you in the lurch, I thought I'd
give you a quick rundown of some "holiday
happenings" in the area.
The Live Nativity
Sponsored by the Holiday in the Park
and the city of Lawton will be Dec. 18
through Dec. 20.The event features a live
representation of the stable scene of
the birth of Christ. Central Baptist
Church is presenting the event with a
cast of 30 men and women (plus a
few animals). They will bring the
scene to life with music and narration throughout.
The event is at Elmer Thomas
Park and is free to the public.
For more information visit

ok.us/parksnrec/Live%
20Nativity%20Flyer.pdf.
(sorry for the long
address — you could
always Google it)
Medicine Park
Christmas Parade
and Carnival
Medicine
Park
will also be having its
C h r i s t m a s
Parade
and
Carnival Dec. 19.
The event starts
at 9 a.m. with
games and live
entertainment.
The parade will begin at 2 p.m. on East
Lake Drive.
Light displays
A few weeks ago I talked about Holiday
in the Park, also located in Elmer
Thomas Park, a free drive-through
light display (although donations
are accepted). Two homes in the
area have stepped up their "light
game" by setting their lights to
synchronize with music. The
homes include 177596 Hwy. 277,
Geronimo, Okla., (located three
miles south of Geronimo on
Highway 281) and the home on 6804
NW Crestwood Drive (they have a
drop box for canned food donations
for a local food bank).
A larger light show, complete
with a camel ride, can be seen if you take
the drive up to Chickasha. Its Festival of
Light has been recognized by one website
as one of the top ten holiday-light shows in
the nation (you can determine that for
yourself). The park is free, however additional activities have fees. Event times are
Sunday through Thursday from 6 p.m. until
10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 6
p.m. until 11 p.m. For more information
visit
www.facebook.com/
ChickashaFestivalOfLight
Star Wars
The new “Star Wars” movie comes out
Dec. 17; that's today.That's all I have to say
about that.
Lawton-Fort Sill Christmas Gala
The Lawton-Fort Sill Christmas Gala is
taking place Dec. 18 from 6:30 p.m. to 10
p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn. Admission is
a toy donation, however, dinner tickets are
available at $25/adult and $8/child.
Children are welcome to come with the
first 50 children receiving a prize. There
will be live performances and pictures with
Santa. For more information, call 580-5834898 or 580-215-9918.
Visit Santa
Santa sightings happen throughout
the area to include regular hours at
Central Mall Lawton. Santa will
also be making an appearance at
the Owens Multi-Purpose Center
(1405 SW 11th Street) Dec. 23
from noon until 3 p.m. Hot
chocolate, candy and crafts will
be free to the public.
Old Post Chapel 140th
Anniversary
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the 140th anniversary of the
Old Post Chapel here on Fort Sill.
From Dec. 21 until Dec. 24 the Old
Post Chapel will have an open house where
guests can come visit the chapel and see
photos of its history. After visiting, they are
invited to enjoy tea and cookies before
leaving.
Christmas Eve Service
at the Old Post Chapel
There will also be a candlelight
Christmas Eve service at the Old Post
Chapel (the actual anniversary of the
chapel). Following the service, a reception
will take place on the grounds outside – but
don't worry about freezing, it will be an
indoor reception (they're going to have
tents to keep you nice and warm).
Well there you have it. Just a few highlights of things going on in the area – and
if you schedule one a day (sometimes two a
day), that will give you something to do
every day until Christmas. Perfect! I won't
be here next week to chat with you but I've
given you plenty to do. Enjoy the holidays
and the Southwest Oklahoma area – and if
you're gone until January, I hope you have
a very happy New Year.

Deer, elk gun-hunting winding down
We at Natural Resources
want to wish everyone a
Merry Christmas and the
happiest of holiday seasons.
While enjoying those holidays, remember to make it
safe and be sure to be back
with us as we start another
year of hunting, fishing, hiking and other great uses of
Fort Sill’s abundant natural
resources.
So that our special duty
personnel can spend a little
time with family and
friends, the check out for
Sportsmen will close at
noon Dec. 24, and reopen at
noon Dec. 26 (Saturday). We
will close at noon Dec. 31,
and open at noon Jan. 2.
Passes will be given out
before we close for the days
that we are shut down. You
must have a pass to be on
the range.
Sportsmen unable to check
out before our closing time
may use a self-checkout procedure, which will be available inside the deer shed.
Instructions and samples will
Wild Side
By GLEN WAMPLER
be posted, a drop box, writing
materials and range passes
will be provided.
You must report your harvest on the day that we
reopen.
Don’t forget that you must
have your new state licenses
for 2016 starting New Year’s
Day.Your 2015 Fort Sill permit will be good through
Jan. 4, as we will not start
selling 2016 permits until
then.
There have been plenty of
good stories told by hunters
about this year’s deer and
elk seasons. A lot of first
deer were taken by newcomers. Others that had taken
deer to the processor in the
past actually tried cutting up
their own deer this year. It
was a first for many folks
and that definitely makes for
challenges.
I was listening to Mandi
Defoor as she told her story
of taking her first cow elk.
It was a lot of work getting
it out of the field and then
cleaning it, but she was
there through it all. She was
really excited about it, but I
think her dad was even
more excited. I noticed this
to be true of several other
folks whose kids or spouses
took first deer or elk.
Take time to view the Wall
of Honor at the check station. I put the photos of this
year’s deer up on the wall.
The case is full of happy
folks showing off their harvest for this year.
Also several of the children who hunted for the first
time during the youth season came back to try during
the regular gun season. It’s
great to see them develop an
interest in the outdoors and
the art of hunting.
Hopefully, we will continue to educate the next generation as well as the population in general.
Bag limits for the final
weekend of deer gun season
will start the same as last
weekend with East Range
areas: Shotgun, either sex.
West Range areas: Closed,
and Quanah Range Areas:
Shotgun only, either sex.
Saturday’s harvest will
determine what the restrictions will be on Sunday.
All those drawn for elk
gun hunting this weekend
will get to hunt.
Don’t forget to attend the
mandatory briefing at noon.
If you can’t be there for the
noon briefing you need to
make arrangements ahead
of time. Don’t show up
