I'm glad Donis is telling us about another aspect of the state.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-13667408470277493142009-04-24T00:46:00.000-05:002009-04-24T00:46:00.000-05:00I really enjoyed this blog.

After 50 years in California I'm back in Oklahoma and getting acquainted with this state all over again. <br /><br />I grew up in Hughes County, just east of OKC, and now live in Yukon. There's a Chisholm Trail marker about half a block from me, and old Route 66 runs right through downtown Yukon.<br /><br />I was interested in the World War I comments. My mother was half-German and told me that during WWI the family told people they were "Black Dutch."<br /><br />We didn't have the Dust Bowl in Hughes County. It was all trees and creeks.<br />There are many Oklahomas.<br /><br />But the worldwide Great Depression shaped our lives. Our nearest neighbor talked constantly about moving to California. We moved into town during WW2 so I never knew if he made it to California.<br /><br />Best of luck with your new book,Donis.<br /><br />Pat Browning<br />ABSINTHE OF MALICE,<br />Krill Press 2008<br />authorsden.com/patbrowning<br />pbrowning.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-44503203549739310632009-04-23T20:12:00.000-05:002009-04-23T20:12:00.000-05:00Thank you, Pat.
