Rick, probably 1:00 would be better, but I don't really know how Saturdays are there. I haven't been myself in a year or so and it was usually during the week @ lunch. I think they could accommodate us either way, especially outside if weather permits. You know, they bought the bldg. to the south next door so they have a lot more indoor room than they used to. I think it would work .
April 19 th, is that the chosen date ?
John Morgan
I'll be there @ 1PM
My brother and I will be in Norman for the NARO-OK meeting, so hope to meet a whole bunch of you and put names with faces.
M, hope you and your brother can come to the Mont because I would love to meet you and personally won't be going to the NARO meeting.
Glad to see you were able to convince your brother to come to town!
We will miss the Mont on the 19th, have to get back home for a wedding. Will meet as many of you as we can at NARO and try the Mont for another time.
For those of you going to NARO, you can't miss us. Martha is 5'9" with long red hair and glasses (yuch) since I can't use contacts any more. Too many years of interpreting seismic on computers… Bill is 6'3" with red hair. (You should see all of the cousins). Little bit of Scotch Irish Dutch Okie there. Look forward to seeing as many of you as we can.
Darn it! I will be guiding a turkey hunt in south Garvin County that day...
Virginia..I don't believe they are talking about in Moore. I think it's in Norman. I could be wrong but I'm used to that! lol
Wish we could be there and if the Lord sees fit to heal me between now and then who knows!
I’ll be appearing via closed circuit t.v. Just kidding. Skype? Facetime? O.K. I’ll be there in spirit!
Come on Hutch. You need to come see your rigs anyway
Wish I could Vicki but still recovering from knee replacement and don't think I could ride that far. Hopefully I can make it up while the rigs are still there, would love to met you guys!
This is coming up fast. This Saturday 1:00 PM at the Mont. 1300 Classen Blvd, Norman, OK 73071
Rick,
I have been looking forward to meeting everyone, but it looks like I'm not going to be able to make it. Maybe next year won't be as busy.
Virginia
I had really wanted to come up and meet you guys, I just didn’t realize it was Easter weekend. Maybe we can plan another gathering in the future. Y’all have a great time.
Rick, do you get the feeling it's just going to be the two of us?
That is what it is starting to look like, Vicki! I honestly didn't realize it was Easter either.
Got up early Saturday morning and drove to Norman. Parked on Campus Corner and walked around the Universtiy to the various buildings where I, had attended classes. Sat and simply enjoyed the environment. When school is in FULL SESSION especially at Midterm and Finals one can feel the energy from all the tension.
Saw the New O'Connells Irish Pub, and that huge building which was where they used to be. And , some other changes on the Campus - a lot of BIG, NEW buildings.
Summer school is really the time to be there. Not so many thousands of people and , therefore, energy from tension of just thousands of people being there is way down. The place is actually enjoyable. It was for me.
This being a holiday the school was pretty vacant . Felt pretty good just being there. Then about 12:20 went and moved truck over to the Mont. Got there about 12:25 and waited. Figured there would be some people show up looking around for others like I, had came to do.
Told the woman who was sitting people why I, was there. And, she didn't have a clue. But she was nice and told me to go inside and look around. Not real sure what anyone looked like , except for Rick from his picture here. So, I, went inside and stood there like a LOST PERSON, thinking someone would say something. No one did. So, I, walked around inside of the Mont looking and pausing waiting for someone to say something , no one did.
When back outside and asked her again if Howell or Ferguson's name was written down. She replied again , no.
Thought will someone else will show up early like I, did to be sure we would have a place to sit. So, kept waiting. Finally at 1:20 decided it did not look promising. But got up again and asked her about Howell or Ferguson. Same reply - no. Decided to go over to Braums and have some ice cream. Got one of those really good ones like I, had years ago - Pralines and Cream .
Now it was almost 2:00 . Went back one more time and she remembered me. No one had came she noted, and she was sorry. Something went wrong I, replied. Not your fault. Returned home.
Where was everyone ?
John Morgan
John,
I am so sorry. I thought everyone had bowed out but Vicki and myself. Vicki had a family emergency come up at the last minute. Because I didn't think anyone was going, my wife and ended up doing something else. I take full responsibility. I should have went ahead and went just in case.
My apologies go out to you. I need to find some way to make it right with you. I'm so sorry I missed out on the opportunity to meet you.
