Today, Sunday, was another day that I have been looking forward to for about 20 years. We returned to Oklahoma City and Norman Oklahoma. We started the day by attending the Oklahoma 1st Ward - a friendly ward and the successor to the Oklahoma Branch that I belonged to from 1952-55. I lived in Norman in the little white house at 604 Iowa Street. It hasn't changed much. The photo at the top is of the church building in Oklahoma City where we attended for Sunday School on Sunday mornings. At that time even though we had a building it was only a Branch. The photo is of the building as I remember it. It has since been torn down and replaced with a new school. However, they kept the top of the spire and placed in on the new building. The photo at the bottom is of the back of the Presbyterian church building in Norman, OK, where we rented a classroom in order to hold a Sacrament Meeting. For that tiny dependent branch of a branch there were only two families, a few Sailors stationed nearby and a few university student. It was sooooooo cool to visit those places again. rm
Ps. Once, President Henry Eyring's father visited our family in that humble home on Iowa Street. He was very kind and spoke with me as though I was a grown up.
