Volume 9 , Issue 38

On the left, we bring you a glance, looking East towards Herod Hall, on the university campus, sticking up above the tree tops on the right, on the horizon. This view was taken from the corner of 12th Street & Oklahoma Blvd.

The photo on the right is a shot of one of the 12th Street houses before the removal of the roof. The Pigeon's domicile! The infamous house with the "bed frame security guard."

We have spent a couple of weeks doing demolition work on these two houses on 12th Street -- finding lots of hidden treasures and meeting "OkieLegacy Ezine" readers. It has turned out worthwhile and very enlightening.

One of those highlights was getting to meet one of our OkieLegacy Ezine readers and sometime submitter of Oklahoma history memories. The highlight of that was being an honored recipient of an autographed copy of his Oklahoma Novel.

I am speaking, of course, of Marvin Wiebener's novel, The Margin, that takes place just after the Korean War, in northwest Oklahoma as the character, Fred Gray, a veteran and third-generation Oklahoma rancher, discoveries an old journal recording official events as far back as 1893.

I have only begun to read the novel Marv Wiebener wrote, but what I have read has me intrigued to read more. If you venture over to Marv's website, you can view, read comments about his book and purchase it through a link at Amazon.com.
