It’s been decades since I’ve given this old customer of mine from long ago much thought. After all, he’s been dead 40 years. But I remember him well. One day he called in his prescription refill and I asked him if he would be in to pick it up. He said, “I would like you to bring it to me. I need to visit with you.” I was pretty darned busy but on the other hand, my home deliveries often produced the highlight of my day, so I told him OK. Later I drove out to his house. He lived in a house that is long gone now. I parked and went up to the door.

Holdenville 4-H club hosted their first Family Fun Night Bingo, it was a resounding success! This family fun night bingo is not only a fundraiser for the club but also a community outreach event. Our club operates on donations only and these events will help offset the cost for club leaders, members and volunteers to attend events, trainings and purchase supplies. The club had the concession stand open with a full menu along with a meal special which included a pulled pork sandwich, chips, pickles and a drink. The Holdenville 4H Club hopes to continue this community outreach event monthly with the support of our community.

There has been some chatter on social media and the paper has been contacted by residents and elected officials asking what is ODOT doing regarding the Holdenville maintenance yard. According to ODOT; Holdenville is located in ODOT’s District 3 Three which includes eleven counties and over four thousand lane miles of pavement.

He sustained several injuries from the crash. Our sincere prayers are with he and his family as he recovers.
