Toby
Reba
Reba’s sister (Susie)…not as famous
Vince Gill
Patti Page
Hoyt Atkins
Garth (whatshisname)
David Gates (and Bread)
Leon *Walking a Tight Rope* Russell
I guess that’s probably enough!
But….I have too mention Blake, because he’s from Ada
And B.J. Thomas, because growing up, I thought he was so cute! (okay, now that I’ve told my age, I’ll quit!) Do I get extra credit on the singers…because I am going to need it later. ;)
Astronauts:
Gordon Cooper
Shannon Lucid
Thomas Stafford
Olympic Medalists:
Jim Thorpe
Shannon Miller
Bart Connor
Kenny Dale Monday
President: Nada, but Ike came close
Oklahoma city with Oil ~ I’m going to say Tulsa (and hope it isn’t Ponca City)
Tom Cruise movies: The Outsider and Rain Man
The 5 Indian Ballerinas ~
Rosella Hightower, Yvonne Chouteau, Moscelyne Larkin, and Maria and Marjorie Tallchief
The picture…I have no idea. There is one similar to it at Asher, but I don’t know the name of it.
