Rainey (Aldridge) -1st Fort Supply Patient...

"My name is Vonnie, I have been receiving your email regularly, and enjoying them as well. I need some help. My Great-Grandmother passed away in Ft. Supply Hospital she was one of the first patients to arrive in 1908. I have gone to Oklahoma to visit family, and visit her gravesite. Just to let her know she's no longer alone. Other family members have gone before me. Being that our world is so different today, she would have lived a very productive life in todays times. She was manic depressive as we have found some old paperwork. What I am absolutely sure of, is that Bob Rea (the keeper of the history) at Ft. Supply Hospital/Fort has literally hundreds of pictures of the people that lived there in the hospital. Because we were limited on the time we could spend in Oklahoma (my mom and I) I was unable to go through some of the pictures, but I did see some that showed the first patients arriving there. I need to find out if Bob has made any further progress in putting those pictures in some sort of format? He was somewhat accessible, but no longer. I hope I wasn't a pest, but I am so close to Lou Ann Rainey(Aldridge) history, it's really getting hard to be patient. I haven't tried to contact Bob for a couple of years. I need a plan B. Can anyone help? Please and Thank You." -- Vonnie W. - Email: vnwright1977@yahoo.com   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
