Earlier this year I had the honor to appear on Brent Weber’s Fox 25 morning show to plug my book Big Easy. Brent is an affable and intelligent man, and put me instantly at ease. I realized that he is talented but didn’t know that he is also an accomplished actor until I received this recent email: Friends, Thank you all for welcoming to Oklahoma to my new job as anchor of Fox25 Morning News. That's how you got on this email list! You were a guest, are a co-worker, family member or a friend... And if you come to this show, you'll get to see me in a different element, one near and dear to my family and my heart... Along with a remarkably talented cast of actors, musicians and technical folks. This rare production, officially based upon the quintessential American novel about the Great Depression, and the enduring power of hope in community, was a multiple Tony Award winner on broadway in 1990. Gary Sinise played the role of Tom Joad, and the truck, an iconic centerpiece to not only this play, the novel and the film - but perhaps to the United States in general, is the original: the same truck SInise and company created for the original production has been rented for this show, and is already on stage n Oklahoma City. The cast is amazing, direction superb and the story timeless. if you can, I would be honored to see you in the audience. This is my first chance to be on stage since leaving acting behind in California (a reverse migration on the Mother Road) so i consider this chance to be a blessing and a true honor to be embraced by the Oklahoma arts community. And of course - I appreciate you always watchingme on my day job - as Morning News Anchor in Oklahoma City! I do recommend you buy your tickets now for this show as it will surely be played to sold out houses! See ya at the Tolbert! For more infoin case you can't read/or print this poster, go to www.oklahomashakespeare.com Brent Weber aka "Uncle John" Yes, Brent, I intend to be there and I recommend that all of you in the Oklahoma City area join me.

While it is true that the eighties oil bust adversely affected every oil hub in the United States, Oklahoma City maintains a unique position in the episode because it was the location of the infamous Penn Square Bank debacle. Penn Square Bank occupied a stand-alone building in the parking lot of the Penn Square Mall, still located in the northwest corner of One story that has circulated for years now involves an oil company that borrowed millions of dollars to purchase drilling rigs. Auditors, attempting to account for the bank’s collateral after the company went bust, learned that Rig 13 (I don’t know if this is the actual number) was really a Lear Jet. Clients, supposedly with little or know oil experience, could get a million dollar loan with only a signature and the promise of drilling a few oil wells. Many nouveau operators purchased jet planes, helicopters, luxury vehicles and lavish offices and lifestyles with the seed money they borrowed from Penn Square Bank, and then parlayed into millions more with money raised from largely unsophisticated investors. It is safe to say that most of these investors had little more than a “lick or a promise” of ever seeing any return from their investment. While drilling a well in western Elaborate parties were the norm during the last oil boom. Christmas parties hosted by operators and service companies boasted hundreds of guests, all enjoying free food, drink and entertainment. I attended one oil company party where Mel Tillis and the Oakridge Boys were flown in by jet helicopter to entertain for an hour or so. One of the Saturday, October 6

It’s early October, misty rain falling from a darkened sky – a continuation of The days are still warm, unseasonably warm. Still I know that the first freeze is not far away. The long days of summer will soon give way to long winter nights. As they do, I will revel in the falling snows, icy rime coating the window panes, and the chilly blast of wintry air when I walk to my car in the morning. Yes, I’ll enjoy the change of seasons, but next July I’ll see a magic moonflower bloom again in my garden, even if I have to go to Home Depot and buy one! |
