Americans Abroad and Oklahoma Views in a Turbulent Era
A reminiscence blends observations on Americans abroad and Oklahoma life. The writer notes a Melbourne Olympic ticket quest, cross-Atlantic perspective gaps, a political intra party fight after Laude Y. Thompson’s death, and local progress in road and civic projects. Disjointed anecdotes recount Steelman’s bid savings, by pass construction, Lions Club charity TV, a violent incident, and high school football disappointments with a glimmer of academic sports hope from Penn vs Dartmouth.
