Oakie's NW Corner

OKC, Oklahoma -

This last week has this writer's head stopped up with a head cold due to the on again off again winter-spring like weather that hits through the heartland of America this time of year. That is my excuse for being slow and late this weekend. BUT... the ezine/newsletter goes out anyway, huh?

Bill McGill Story

"Linda - I've so enjoyed your loving recreation of your grandfather's scrapbook, I'd like to share a few links that I visited as I was following the Bill McGill story ... I've also passed your URL along to a few of my friends in the Society for American Baseball Research who - I believe - will find great value in your work. You've done a great job with the site. Thanks for sharing!

History of Baseball in Oklahoma

Tulsa, Oklahoma - "I'm the co-author of the Oklahoma Heritage Association's 1999 book, Glory Days of Summer: The History of Baseball in Oklahoma. I wish that we would have had access to the McGill scrapbook when our book was compiled. Although the book did get the best design award of the Oklahoma Department of Libraries and the Smithsonian Institute for the year, we surely could have used some of the pictures and early day history.
