Oakie's NW Corner

The cold winter winds having been blowing across Oklahoma this week reminding us that it is still Winter, BUT... the sun has been shining. You just had to hang on to things when venturing outside. *Smiling*

Thanks to you all who sent heartfelt condolences concerning the death of my horse, Moon. I really do appreciate hearing from you and everything you have to share with us at The Okie Legacy. You are Wonderful and GREAT!

I have been keeping busy transcribing some information passed down to me by one of my readers. It concerns the WWII POW Camps in Oklahoma - 1943-45. Click the Oklahoma Map on the left to catch a better glimpse of the POW camps that dotted our State. You can read more about the Barbed Wire & Nazilagers POW Camps in Oklahoma written by Richard S. Warner, a freelance writer in Tulsa who has been collecting information on POW camps for many years. - printed in The Chronicles of Oklahoma, Vol. LXIV, No. 1, Spring 1986.

I am going to keep this short this week because there are lots of things to read in the newsletter: NW OK Marriages of 1941, WWII POW Camps in Oklahoma, Wiley H. Cowan Obit, Home Comfort Range, Old Alva Photos (help find a home) and many other family inquiries. Speaking about the Old Alva Studio Photos ... I have them in an Album of their own and will be adding more later. If you have any Old Photos to add, Email Linda a jpg file. Thanks!

Before I send you off to explore ... Nadine from Germany, lived in Oklahoma for 11 months and is now studying English at an University in Germany and is working on a Presentation of the History of Oklahoma. If anybody could help her, contact Nadine at N.Holtrup@t-online.de.
