Dogs Make Our Lives Whole...

"Dear Linda - It is about time to tell you that I enjoy the Okie Legacy so much. And give you an idea about who and what we are. I, Bette Wilson, have been married to Ben Wilson, for almost 60 years. I was born and raised in Woodward County. Ben was born in the Galena area, Woods county, the son of Mabel Armour Wilson and Orla Wilson. They moved to Waynoka about 1939. Ben was the grandson of Robert Armour, a Woods County commissioner, many years ago. Probably before WWI. There was a Lewis (or Louis) Bynum who sold hamburgers in Alva during the 1930's. He was an uncle to my half brothers. I used to hear many people say that uncle Lewis made very good hamburgers. He left Alva and moved back to Cedar Co., Missouri, where he died. And I want to wish you a very happy birthday. Sadie told on you. I love to hear about your dogs. We are the proud parents of three. Two poodles and a schipperke. As I have heard said, they are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole. Keep up the good work. Best wishes from Amarillo." -- Bette Wilson   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
