NW Okie's Journey

It is beautiful around these southwest parts of the Colorado Rockies. The image on the left is a view of the mountain ridges north of Vallecito Reservoir, as seen from atop of Middle mountain.

Besides enjoying the autumn hues in our area of southwest corner of Colorado, I am also researching the 1960's Democratic Politics of Oklahoma when my Father, Gene McGill, was State Democratic chairman. Somewhere in my collection of treasures I have a political cartoon drawn by cartoonist Jim Lange, who was a cartoonist for the Oklahoman newspaper for 58 years.

The cartoon I am trying to locate shows a cartoon of Gene McGill eloping with the Democratic party while Governor J. Howard Edmondson is knocking, courting at the front door. My copy is an autographed copy given to Gene McGill with best wishes from cartoonist Jim Lange. I need to dig out my political items handed down from my father. I found the three Lange political cartoons I have been looking for so frantically. We have stuck them in this week's issue of our OkieLegacy Weekly Ezine/Tabloid.

Good Night, Good Luck searching for your roots!   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
