You see, I was born about 2 miles from that building, worked at the old Triple AAA Root Beer Drive-Inn on 13th and Broadway during my young years, went to business college on Broadway (or Robinson), had my first job across from the Katy Depot at George's Diner on Reno at age 16, my children were born at Wesley and St Anthony Hospitals, my husband died at the VA Hospital there. Most of my ancestors are buried in Sunny Lane and I have many, many cousins living in OKC to this date. So you can see why I had the feeling that my Home and Heartland had been desecrated along with the rest of you. I visited the memorial there last summer when it was pouring rain and I am not certain if that was rain or tears still flowing. Thank you so much for sharing those memories and I will see that each of my children receive a copy of your message. No tim mcveigh cannot take away the strong bond of kinship that we have for each other no matter how far we are apart and how great the span in our age groups. We will have to leave it to the Lord to attend to tim's final judgment.
