Oklahoma

 
Posted by Picasa


We visited the Memorial to the 168 victims of the 1995 Federal Office Building bombing in Oklahoma city. It is built on the site of the building. 168 chairs on the lawn represent the victims, placed in rows to represent the floor on which they died. The bottom two floors included 19 children fatalities.

It is a solemn and well done National Memorial. We did not allow time to visit the museum, but my cousin Katie from Oklahoma says you will be moved to tears if you do.

We met Katie and her family for dinner in Stillwater, home of Oklahoma State, and then spent a very comfy night with her in Cushing. Peonies are blooming everywhere in her yard and in vases throughout the house. Don't think I am in Texas anymore.
