Horns Down!

I went old school Saturday. And by old school, I mean I listened to the OU-Texas game on the radio. That’s right. The radio. By choice. Took me back to the 1960s, when my dad and I would work around the house on Saturdays and have the OU game playing on the radio in his ‘62 Chevy pickup.

Farewell to Ruth Davis

Early last week, my wife’s mom passed away. She was 97 years old. We had a graveside service just as she had requested and family and friends gathered at our house, some for several hours, following the service, which also was to accommodate her wishes.

Town Talk

‘52 Rolleiflex

As is my habit when I don’t have something to cover, I took a nap after eating lunch on Saturday. When I woke, I gazed out the window and - whoa! what’s that sitting on the hood of my pickup? Why, it’s a package, that’s what it is.

Remembering dogs

Pets have been a part of my life since I can remember. We got our first dog when I was a third grader. Even before that, when I lived part of the time with my grandparents on my mother’s side, they had a dog.

Town Talk

The Bugle Boy will soon be blowing his horn to honor our veterans. The sound system should be in place in time to pay homage to our veterans on Veteran’s Day. Reveille and taps are two of the songs that he will play. Town Talk is pleased to complete this project for our community.

Town Talk

I saw on Facebook that after having a fun-filled weekend the Hendricks sisters made a road trip to Stroud to see the banners they had purchased for their beloved veterans.

Weekend at the lake

Last weekend we (the wife Pat and I) kept our grandson Liam. It was the first time in nearly two months and he had turned 5 since then. We saw him over the Labor Day weekend right after his birthday, but it’s always a privilege and pleasure to have him for a couple of nights.

Editorial

Oklahoma legislators recognize how critical it is to keeping our kids safe at school. Extremely important as well is to ensure those teachers and administrators entrusted with watching over the students also are safe.

Experiences

I was glad to see Charles Morrow when I was in Fitzhugh for a funeral a couple of months ago. He’s slowed down some, but that tends to happen to people when they pass 80. He was still trim, sharp and probably can still outwork two-thirds of the people in the county.
