On OK Moments, October 5, 2010 Issue, they had a slide show and history of the "Castle On the Hill." I recognized the last image of the burnt out shell of the Castle on the Hill and a few more photos that they used of mine. I am thrilled that they could use them and do not mind them using them. On their site they gave me "photographs courtesy of. . ."

The two or three pictures that I recognized as mine were: 1901 photo of the castle on the hill with the large group seated, standing in front; and the burned shell of the castle. I'm not sure where, who submitted the photos. Not all photos they used were mine. Just 2 or maybe 3 photos were from my collection.

I noticed on this week's OK Moments, Tuesday, October 12, 2010, they talk about US Representative and Governor William H. "Alfalfa Bill" Murray. I did not know that Alfala Bill" ran away from home at the age of twelve and worked as an agricultural laborer while attending public schools sporadically. AND -- Alfalfa Bill Murray was an activist in the Farmers' Alliance and the Democratic Party.

Thanks, OK Moments, for another insight into one of our Past Governor's of Oklahoma, "Alfalfa Bill" Murray!   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
