Those Oklahoma Hills

Those Oklahoma Hills - Many a month has come and gone - Since we wandered from our home - In those Oklahoma hills where we were born. - Many a page of life has turned, - Many a lesson we have learned.....

Even though months, miles have past since we have wandered from our Oklahoma Hills where we learned many lessons, we have not forgotten from where we were born and raised. That's why we gather these OkieLegacies to leave behind for the future generations to find in the future.

We hope we can jog a few memories this week. There is a gentleman in Wales, UK, doing research on Oklahoma soldiers that might have fought in WWI for the British & Canadian forces. Mr. J. S. Clark is searching for information on J. H. Mondy, Pvt, who was in the Canadian army. Clark would like to know if you know about this soldier, and is he entered on any Roll of Honour or town memorial. Clark's interest is on a non-commercial research and he writes short stories on soldiers from the USA who served in the British or Commonwealth forces during the 1st World War.

We have heard from several Oklahoman's about your low gas prices in Oklahoma. WOW! Oklahoma's gas prices are lots better than here in southwest Colorado. Our gas prices in Bayfield, Colorado were ranging around $2.359 for awhile until it finally dropped to $2.259 a week ago.

We heard from another northwest Oklahoman that Dub Garnett died this week. For those of you who might not know Dub Garnett, you might remember the Garnett Conoco gas station on 6th and Oklahoma Blvd., Alva, Oklahoma.

Finally... We are searching for memories of an Alva business, a medical center on the east side of college Avenue called "Youngs clinic." We understand that besides being a regular doctor's clinic, it also had hospital rooms. Anyone out there have any memories of Young's clinic in Alva, Oklahoma? Thanks again for sharing your memories and inquiries with the OkieLegacy this week.   |  View or Add Comments (5 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
