Hi Bud, You did everything right! I did receive the postcard. I am constantly being surprised by the ways some of us across the country have connections either through family or places we have lived, etc. Pawnee is where my husband's Dad grew up. My husband's grandparents, Proctor Knott & Mary Irene Gambill McKenzie, moved from Redbush, Kentucky to Pawnee via Ohio. P.K. was the street commissioner in Pawnee from 1932 until 1953. My husband was born in Pawnee and lived there a few years as a child. His parents moved to California during WWII. Glenn (my husband) and his parents drove from California to Oklahoma every summer for their vacations and Glenn also spent a summer (I think it was 1953) working at the swimming pool out by the lake. He went to Oklahoma State in Stillwater and spent a lot of time with his grandparents during those years. He has a lot of good memories. I have only been to Oklahoma 2 times - unfortunately both times were for funerals in Pawnee. Have you seen the website that the Pawnee Historical Society has online? The URL is: http://www.skally.net/pchs/ If not, you might enjoy looking at it and also the one for Pawnee Bill that is at: http://www.open.org/~alfa/PawneeBill/ Got to go - it is getting past my bedtime!

Sharon, Who is this Proctor Knott? I live in Lebanon, Kentucky on Governor Proctor Knott's farm. Is your husband grandparent related to this Proctor Knott?
