Among Other Things...

Have you ever seen a tornado from a distance ... In person? On June 21, 2006, David experienced a string-like tornado west of Turpin, Oklahoma last Wednesday evening when he was headed back to Oklahoma. He got almost to Turpin, Oklahoma (a mile or so west) in the panhandle. The winds were blowing -- storm clouds were brewing -- stirring up things in "No Man Lands" last Wednesday, June 21, 2006. David said he pulled to a stop about a mile west of Turpin to catch this and other shots of the Tornado in the distance. Afterwards, he turned around and headed back towards Guymon, Oklahoma for the night.

Celebration & An American Tribute...

Gettysburg Address - by Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863 -- "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal...." --

Happy Birthday, America -- "When a bunch of fellows from Boston held a big party with tea, That's where your cradle was started and they called it Liberty. At Bunker Hill could be heard among the hues and the cries, 'Steady men don't fire, until you see the whites of their eyes.' So when those fellows got together again to draw up and sign a form, They called it a Declaration and that's how you were born....."

Archiving Issues...

"Another great issue! Even though 'you Okies' live in another state, I still make a hard copy of every issue to archive in The Balmer Collections, Pittsburg (KS) State University Special Collections. I think there is so much 'connectedness' in the history of our Oklahoma/Kansas border towns that it is very important to document and save all of the stories possible on both sides of the state line for future generations.
