Robert L. Owen (1856–1947) was one of Oklahoma’s first U.S. Senators—taking office in Dec. 1907.

In 1913, he co-authored the Federal Reserve Act, which created the country’s financial system that is still in use today!

Each state contributes 2 statues to the National Statuary Hall Collection at the U.S. Capitol.

Oklahoma’s contributions were statues of Sequoyah (added in 1917) & Will Rogers (added in 1939).

In its heyday, the 101 Ranch covered more than 100,000 acres—located near Ponca City (north of Marland, Oklahoma).

I’ve been to Oklahoma.

That’s the clinical definition of “cruel and unusual punishment”.

Surprised the Nazi defendants’ attorneys didn’t bring this fact up at the Nuremberg trials.

Being almost 70 I grew up with the space program from the early days. I've been to Cape Canaveral-Kennedy Space Center many times dating back to the 60's.

Thanks very much for posting the pictures...I could look at these type photos all day.


Thanks. I have a few more to post, have just been tied up this week. I'll try to get to them soon.

I've lived in Tulsa, one of the better places that I've lived. (I've never been to Spain).
