A LIFETIME LOVE AFFAIR? ALMOST!

Body

A love that began in grade school continues today. Bill Tobey actually crowned his future wife, Brenda Nichols, as Little Olympics Queen in grade school. They are two of our favorite HHS graduates and we enjoyed visiting with them at their 60th class reunion. They still look great!

Holdenville City Council members Jeanna Gordon and Liz Campbell began an initiative last week that shows great promise as it continues throughout the years.
