Jean, what a neat list! We've heard the names of most of these individuals through the years, but is terrific to pull together the complete list.
ReplyDeleteI certainly can't correct you on any of the list, but you might check the spelling on the Corporation Commissioner...I think it was Norma, not Norman (little typo there).
Love your writings! Keep up the great work for Oklahoma Women!
