About S. L. Johnson...

S. L. Johnson was one of our founding fathers, businessmen and chairman of the steering committee that worked with H. L. Ross, secretary; W. F. Hatfield, editor of the Alva Pioneer; James Kelley, editor of the Alva Republican; C. C. Hudson, editor of the Alva Review; A. H. Andrews, city attorney, and Jesse J. Todd, met and advertised for offers of land near town for a college site for the Northwestern Normal school (Castle on the Hill). This aggressive body of town fathers never gave up -- formulated other plans -- applied pressure on the legislature to secure a location of the Normal school in Alva, Oklahoma.

I have been hearing on the news that this is the 40th anniversary (February, 1964) of the Beatles touring the U.S. Back in February of '64 I would have turned or was turning 16 years of age. They did have some great songs, didn't they. What Beatle mania do you recall... besides "I Wanna Hold Your Hand?"

I see by the old clock on the wall that it is again time to STOP - Proofread - and get ready to send out this latest issue of the OkieLegacy Ezine. But... before we head out of here let me remind some of you Lovers out there that Valentines Days is just around the corner. What do you have planned for that special person in your life? Besides Valentine Days coming around the corner next weekend, Duchess will be blowing out her 1st Birthday candle (February 14). See Y'all next week. Keep warm and keep those memories flowing this way.
