Okie's NW Corner

This week's newsletter is a bit short this week. You see... this Pug is in the process of heading back this weekend to the muggy, summer heat of Oklahoma. I shall miss the cool, dry climate of SW Colorado, though.

They tell us that over 3 inches of rain -- gusty winds ranging around 80 mile per hour -- tennis to golf ball size hail pounded the northwest parts of our neck of the Woods earlier this week in NWOklahoma. Leaving remnants of tree limbs scattered about as reminders of Mother Nature's Summer force.

As for the 4th of July Celebrations last weekend... Even dogs (including this Precious Pug) tagged along, meeting and mixing with the crowds, citizens that gathered on July 4, 2004 at the north edge of this Southwest Colorado Lake Resort to share the excitement, declaration of our independence in this United States of America.

After wearing myself out "woofing" at the commotion, movements, I found me a safe place to settle down next to Oakie -- sleeping most of the time while Oakie was trying to get her camera in sync to catch just the right shot of the fireworks before it faded into oblivion. BUT... she did get a couple of great shots to share.

Before we send you to our Mailbag Corner, we need your help, research. Can you Help?

For instance... We just found out that two silent pictures were filmed in Warwick, Oklahoma, in Lincoln County? We do not know what year they were filmed. Has anyone ran across any research, stories of Warwick, Oklahoma's silent films?

We still haven't found our Northwest Oklahoma ghost town that supposedly is located northwest of Waynoka and Northeast of Mooreland with a 6 foot monument with remnants of the rifle on the top.

Another inquiry... this reader is looking for a person by the name of Pamela Allen.  She would have been about 17 years of age in 1971 -- living in Alva.  We think she had other relatives living in the area as well. If you can help, please contact Marvin. His e-mail is listed in the Mailbag Corner.

For all of those who live, have knowledge of Ingersol, Oklahoma... There is another lady whose Great-Grandparents homesteaded -- lived in Ingersol, Oklahoma. Ingersol is located a few miles east of Alva on hwy 64. Ingersol does have a popular place for those who love Bar-B-Cue. Anyway, this reader would love to share some great pictures of her Henry Hubbards family... and would love to hear from anyone from Ingersol, Oklahoma.

If any of this Okie legacies rings a bell -- jogs some memory cells, we would love to hear from you and so would some of our readers.

Please do not be offended by Oakie's Soapbox below! Everyone needs to get on their soapbox now and then. It stirs the blood and is good for the soul. Peace!
