NW Okie's Journey

We have been in Northwest Houston, Texas (near the Vintage area and Tomball Parkway) for almost a week ... visiting friends and my cancer sister. It was cloudy, chilly and rain the first half of the week, but by Friday the sunshine began to peek through the clouds with a warming trend this weekend. Ain't the sunshine, mid-60 temperatures grand!

As the January, 2015 goes, we are continuing transferring data from our other websites into the Okie Legacy newsletter database. This week we have some World War II Prisoner of War (POW) camp stories for POW camps in Oklahoma.

Thanks for your patience and understanding for the missed newsletter last Monday. We were on the road to Houston from NW Oklahoma.

The First 100 Years of Alva, Oklahoma states that the Prisoner of War (POW) camp during WWII was best known to POW's in other camps as, 'Devil's Island' or the 'Alcatraz' of prisoner of war systems in the United States. It was built to hold only Nazi's and hard-core sympathizers. But we have connected with some POW's that say it was not all hard core Nazi sympathizers. It stood south of Alva (Oklahoma, USA), westside of highway 281, in the area now used by the Airport on the east and the Woods County Fairgrounds on the west.

Good Night! Good Luck!
