Only in America...

"can people voice opinions without fear of loosing something, possibly a head, because of their opinion.  I respect your opinions almost no matter what they are.  Since in the past everything on your site was always open to comment I assumed that would continue.
     You might have assumed that I am a conservative, by my recent response.  In fact, I am worse than that. I am a disillusioned Liberal.  Winston Churchill once said, "Show me a young man who is not liberal, and I'll show you a man with no heart.  Show me an old man who is not conservative and I'll show you a man with no head.  And no money, I'll add to that now that the wheel has turned for me.

I appreciate you and also your zine.  My family left Oklahoma when I was a wee tot, but part of my heart has always remained there.  I think you are doing a great job of performing this service.  I enjoy each issue.  I hope to continue to contribute a few things from time to time.  I still have a number of old, pre-statehood photos from my family in Woods County .  I've already shared these with Sandie Olson .  Her group is, of course restoring my gg grandfather log cabin.

You may have noticed that there was a big fire recently in Kingfisher.  The movie theater that burned down was owned by my second cousin, Allan Harzman, a great grandson of Joseph Barnett, builder of the previously mentioned cabin.  All roads seem to lead to NW Oklahoma, at times.

I was not kidding about preferring to write about Vallecito.  I made my first trip there with a travel trailer in 1968, and have gone back to that area from time to time ever since.  I have some photos and adventures to share with our fellow Okies, past, present, and wannabees. I appreciate your civil and diplomatic response to my response. looking back at you to see if you were looking back at me, to see if Peace and love." -- Charles   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
