Queen Mother's Letter

It isn't everyday that you get an email from a "Queen Mother" ... That is the Queen Mother of the Red Hat Ladies of Orlando Florida (a.k.a 25 Royal Court Ladies). Here's a special "Hello" to all those Red Hat Ladies, especially the Okie Dokies of Alva, Oklahoma that we talked about in The OkieLegacy, Vol. 6, Iss. 4.

Now... I really feel like I have been touched by royalty with a note from the Queen Mother in Orlando. We think you will find some interesting items in this week's newsletter/ezine. NOW... you can check to see if some of your ancestors lived in the Dacoma (Oklahoma) area in 1947? Rod Murrow has transcribed the 1947 Edition of the Dacoma (Oklahoma) Telephone Directory into a pdf file -- placing it on his own website. Thanks, Rod!

Also... Check out Bat Masterson's Last shootout at the age of 27, Dodge City, Kansas, 17 April 1881 when an innocent bystander and "Al Updegraff" were wounded.

Does anyone out there remember when there was a water tower located on the southside of the Alva railroad tracks, west of the depot? We are not quite sure when that water tower was torn down? Was it in the 1970's?
