On A Request Note Now

I have a request for help for some of you Oklahomans out there. Can you help with your Oklahoma hospitality? I received an email Friday afternoon from a Napa valley California lady whose 10 year-old daughter is doing a report on Oklahoma and a famous Okie (Woody Guthrie).

The lady is Terry Kent and her daughter is Lindsay. Lindsay and her family are the descendants of the LIPPINCOTT's & DeGEER's (formerly from around NW Oklahoma). Some of you might remember Thelma DeGeer Lippincott from her earlier years of school at Northwestern State Teachers' College. Also, the DeGeer's had the Freedom Express on the Old DeGeer homestead near Freedom, Oklahoma. They also had the DeGeer General Store. Is that building still standing? If so... What has it become now?

Terry told me they also have some old trade coins that they believe are from the DeGeer General Store days and are embossed with DeGeer General Store. Terry and her family plan to make a trip to Oklahoma before June in the Spring of 2005. Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to where they should begin their Oklahoma journey? Places to stay? Places to dine? Places to see? AND... any information to help Lindsay with her report on Oklahoma? Please see their Inquiry in the Mailbag Corner below. Thanks in advance for your help and Oklahoma hospitality!   |  View or Add Comments (1 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
