Dayna and I want to thank the many of you that have called or come by to congratulate us on our purchase of the Holdenville News. Holdenville has been home to the Robinson family for six generations and we love this town. There are so many good things happening still today here in our hometown and we want to share them with you, not only today, but in the many issues to come. Today we will focus on city government, in future issues we will focus on Hughes County government, which is doing some wonderful things as well, and also focus on our Holdenville churches which are the backbone of this community.

Loneliness is such a sad affair, as the saying goes, and our politicians have succeeded in turning America into a lonely nation by decree. We are going on four months now of lockdowns, business shutdowns, and few social gatherings. What this is doing to the nation’s psyche has been devastating.
