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!

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.
