Alva's Murals Gracing Alva Buildings...

Don Gray, the artist, and the Alva Mural Society have finished the Charles Morton Share Mural on the Professional building sometime last week.

Alva's local artists, Richey, Warren and Dunkin, are still working, painting on the Castle on the Hill Mural (5th & Oklahoma Blvd). It is a work in progress. We have many talented citizens in this neck of the Woods.

Things seem to be working smoothly this week (knock on wood). Lots of you emailed and mentioned that you had received last week's newsletter right on schedule. Some did not. Some got multiple copies. Some mentioned that... "I'd rather get multiples than nothing at all!" Other's mentioned that they had, "Received my copy right on schedule, and as usual enjoy it very much.... thanks for all your effort." Thanks to Y'all for the many responses and encouragement. We couldn't do it without you!

Before Duchess and I get out of here for the weekend and "Mother's Day" this Sunday , we have a Southern Oklahoma friend that celebrated his 83rd birthday on April 13th. I know this is a few weeks late, but we would still like to wish the Honorable Ernest D. Martin a Happy Belated Birthday. I have never met Ernest, but feel like I have known him forever. You see... I was honored a few years back to have been chosen to help him put his "Father's Legacy" on the web for his family. It is truly amazing, fascinating how those who cross our path one way or another -- How our lives are impacted. Thanks, Ernest, for letting me share, help bring your Legacy to the web -- helping you get reacquainted, connected with old friends along the way. It was my pleasure. Happy Birthday, Ernest!

We shall see the rest of you next weekend with more Okie Legacies, photos, memories and perhaps some answer to our "old" photos above. That is ... If we don't melt in these Mid-90s, May temperatures. Happy Mother's Day to ALL you Mothers out there!
