Thanks For the Memories

"Thanks once again for jogging my memory of growing up in Alva. My grandfather, Kent Fash, was Woods County Assessor for years. His office was in the northwest corner of the Court House on the third floor. But the best part of the Court House was the jail in the basement. From time to time when I would go to the Court House to see my grandfather (Pop was his name), I and whatever friend I was with, would sneak downstairs to peek in the jail. It was a dark and menacing place and was not a place where I would ever want to wind up.

I don't remember Snyder's Cigar Store but I have vivid memories of Brand's. I thought that's where all the champion domino players went to play. At least that's where Pop and his friends, and Bill Brand, played and taught me the game.

All the best. I look forward every Sunday to receiving Okie Legacy." -- Bob
