Karen Hogue McClaran writes to let us know that her father has moved into the Veteran's Center in Norman, OK. His progressive neurological disorder has reached the point of needing 24 hour a day care and family could no longer care for him. She asks for family members to take a moment to write him a note of encouragement. He is having an extremely difficult time leaving his home of many years. Write him at: Veteran's Center - Norman Division; ATTN: Calvin Hogue - Rm. F-108; 1776 E. Robinson St.; Norman, OK 73071-7442.

Myrtle Hjorten recently renewed memberships for her children and herself. She mentioned that Mel had a heart attack, but is doing better now. She misses coming to the reunions.

David Herd had Vada F. Fletcher’s last newsletter returned. The address we had was: 153 Sierra Vista Dr, Redlands, CA 92373. Does anyone know if she has moved or passed away? Ed Stout writes, “That was the last address I used to contact her. She was born in 1907 so, sad to say, I'm afraid she has passed away although I can't imagine that some of her family were not in touch with me at the time. She and Addy Brewster were among the descendants of John Fulbright of Dry Glaize featured in the last news. They had moved out west, and settled in Redlands, Calif., which is just north of where we live. We were well acquainted -- they were the nicest kind of people, and Vada always was one of the very best.”

I have received several communications recently from that finest of Christian gentlemen, Dr. Arthur Fulbright (who is also my cousin). He just turned 80 earlier this month, and I plan on working some of the material he sent into an article for the next newsletter. Happy Birthday, Arthur!
