From the Editor

As this issue of the Roosevelt News – East Coast Edition is dated 11/11/2011 we feel it is only appropriate that we remember our Veterans in this edition. We would not have the privilege of living in this great country if it were not for the many who have served to first gain our freedom in the Revolutionary War and continued to fight for that freedom through the many conflicts our great country has engaged in. So many lost their lives in these conflicts. Others have suffered life changing injuries. Yet, all served proudly to honor their country. On this Veteran’s Day, let’s not forget to remember each and every one of them and if you are fortunate enough to have a living veteran as a family member or friend be sure to tell them thanks for the great service.

Tuesday of this week was Election Day in Virginia. Again, without the service of our veterans to preserve our freedom, we might not have the opportunity to vote--another privilege to be grateful for.

When Mike and I went to vote in a primary election in August they were asking for volunteers to serve as election officials in future elections. We looked at each other and decided that was something we could do. So we completed paperwork, submitted it, and were immediately notified we had been approved to serve. We went to training and served as officials for our first time on Tuesday. After working the election on Tuesday, I think we view “the privilege of voting” from a whole new angle. As we checked in the many voters, we saw how important it was to them to be able to cast their vote and weigh in on who will represent them in our state and local governments. To see the many faces of those, both young and old, from all walks of the community, taking time from their busy schedules, to exercise this right and duty was quite touching. They came not only because they could, but obviously because that felt they needed to. It was their opportunity to express their convictions. We hope to continue to serve in future elections. We believe this is just one small way, at our age, we can “give back” and serve our country.

Thank you all!

Remembering Henry Farrar (Class of 1964)

Obviously, many of you in my age group have pleasant memories of Henry Farrar. Unfortunately, roughly 5 short years after graduation Henry lost his life in a car accident in Afghanistan while serving in the Peace Corps. For some reason, at that time, Henry’s work with the Peace Corps and the news of his untimely death escaped me. Assuming that I may not be alone we’d like to share a very touching memorial to Henry prepared by his younger brother George. Ironic that in the “Fallen Peace Corps Volunteers” article referenced below Henry was scheduled for assignment in Libya, but the assignment was cancelled due to a military coup led by Muammar Gaddafi creating a new government unfriendly to the Peace Corps. As a result Henry and his wife were reassigned to Afghanistan where he met his untimely death. Now, over 40 years later as we revisit the last 5 years of Henry’s life, we are comforted knowing that the man who caused his fateful reassignment to Afghanistan has recently been removed from power and killed. Please go back in time with me and reflect on the life of Roosevelt graduate Henry Graham Farrar. mlm

Thoughts from the Squirrel Lair

I spent considerable time last week trying to insert this inspirational piece “A Butterfly’s Lesson” in the paper with no success. There are many versions of this out on the internet, but the PowerPoint version, sent to me by Junior Curtis, is by far the best--very eloquently done. That version is the one attached to the version of this newsletter mailed out. Unfortunately, that version cannot be attached to this html version on the internet. So, I am enclosing what I feel is the “next best” version for this copy of the newsletter. I hope you enjoy.

Alumni Website

We have renewed the account that Wanda Jackson had set up at the photo sharing website, picturetrail.com for the Roosevelt Alumni: http://www.picturetrail.com/rooseveltalumni. She had posted many pictures from past reunions, class panels, and old schools buildings along with write ups about them. We thought you might find these interesting if you haven’t visited this site in the past.

TASTE Oil Vinegar Spice

Mike and I took advantage of a beautiful fall Virginia day to take a road trip to Culpeper, Virginia. Our sole purpose for the trip was to visit George Farrar (Class of 1969) and his wife, Jan Davis, and tour their new store, TASTE Oil Vinegar Spice located in the heart of old town Culpeper. We had a great day. First, we really enjoyed visiting with George and Jan and renewing old friendships. Second, I really was intrigued by what George had posted on Facebook about the store and wanted to see and partake of its wares for myself. I must say Mike and I both were fascinated by the concept and the products they sell. I believe the following article (in bold) which appeared in the Culpeper Star Exponent better describes their venture than anything I could write.

The owners of a new specialty shop in downtown Culpeper want to help folks add a little flavor to their palates.

Husband-and-wife team George Farrar, 60, and Jan Davis, 57, both of Amissville opened TASTE Oil Vinegar Spice at 202 E. Davis St. on Oct. 8.

Why, do you ask?

“This will help people take the next step in their cooking,” explained Davis. “It’ll also make it easier for them to cook.”

Once inside, two aisles of miniature fustis — Italian for stainless steel tanks — filled with flavored extra virgin olive oils or aged balsamic vinegar frame the middle of the store.

Similar to wine tasting, Farrar and Davis invite their customers to taste the tangy and/or fruit-flavored condiments before purchasing. Each individual vat features a typewritten description.

For instance, the Blenheim apricot white balsamic vinegar is “both sweet and tart with an intensely aromatic aroma of honeysuckle and picked with a faint green tinge.” The description also suggests that this particular balsamic vinegar would pair wonderfully with grilled chicken, as a glaze or with cheese.

The shelves are also stocked with three sizes of empty bottles for patrons to fill with their own unique concoctions.

“A lot of people haven’t seen this concept before and so they are just interested in seeing it and talking about it,” said Farrar. Small stacks of plastic disposable cups sit near each tank for customers to sample the stock. Tiny oyster crackers are also available for dipping.

“We encourage our customers to read the signs, to see what the contents are, what the aromas are and how they taste,” Farrar said.

There’s also a stack of bright, yellow slips of paper located next to the tanks for customers to fill out while making their selections. The paper features the names of the olive oils and balsamic vinegars, various bottle sizes, and prices, which range from $6 to $56 (for the specialty oils).

Near the back of the store, hand packed organic spices from exotic locations such as the Mediterranean, Turkey, Israel, France, and India are neatly lined on shelves, too.

The store also offers specifically labeled sniffing jars for customers to smell certain spices as well.

“Many people are very surprised that there are so many different kinds of cinnamon,” said Davis.

The couple boasts that the store only carries 20 of the “freshest extra virgin olive oil harvested in the southern hemisphere for six months” and that the balsamic vinegar originates from Modena, Italy.

The description of the blood orange olive oil reads “as blood oranges and Tunisian olives ripen, we press them together to form this beautiful agrumato, a combination of whole fresh fruits crushed with olives. Our oil is exceedingly versatile.”

The recommendation is to “use it on fish and seafood, chicken, fruit and salads” or “blend it with our cranberry-pear white balsamic vinegar for a lively, tart vinaigrette.”

“We have oils from the southern hemisphere because that’s what is freshest now,” said Davis. “We always want to have the freshest and the best quality.”

Both United States Navy veterans, Farrar spent 27 years serving this country and Davis served 20 years. Married for more than five years, Farrar recently left his position in July as the associate vice president of university relations and director of communications at the University of Mary Washington; while Davis still works as a consultant in Crystal City.

“This is something we both wanted to do for many years and finally got the opportunity where the timing was just right,” said Farrar.

Asked what inspired this type of business, Farrar said it was when the couple visited a specialty shop in Bar Harbor, Maine, that they finally made the decision to open their own store.

“We stopped in a similar store to this with the same concept and it really appealed to us,” Farrar said. “So we thought that might be a good business for this area. Jan had taken some small business administration courses online and we’d talked about the various things we might do,” said Farrar, who thought about venturing in the business of selling hard apple cider.

Before selecting Culpeper for their new business, Farrar and Davis looked for storefronts in Fredericksburg, Middleburg, Warrenton and Front Royal.

“We basically looked at old towns,” Farrar explained. “We wanted to be as close as we could to home, but in a really vibrant area. When we found this location on Davis Street, we thought this would be the perfect location.”

However, this isn’t the first specialty shop at this particular address. During the mid-2000s, 202 E. Davis Street was the home of Rathuil: All Things Irish, a tiny gift shop; and by 2008 it housed N Style, a small fashion boutique.

Today, it’s the home of TASTE Oil Vinegar Spice and Farrar and Davis have extended an open invitation to the locals and tourists alike.

Farrar said even if you’re hesitant to try something new, he wants you to stop by “because it’s a great place to learn.”

“It’s just a great place to experience the taste,” Farrar concluded.

Want to taste?

TASTE Oil Vinegar Spice — located at 202 E. Davis St. — is open Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. and closed Tuesdays. For more information call 825-8415.

I did leave the store with bottles of their goods. I just hope this country girl can decide what to cook to take full advantage of the great balsamic vinegars and olive oils they sell. Using them definitely opens up new concepts and recipes to prepare. Become friends of TASTE Oil Vinegar Spice on Facebook and keep up with George and Jan and their new adventure.

Eva (Allard) Sparks

We received word from Glenda (Sparks) Hyneman (Class of 1969) that she moved Eva (Allard) Sparks (Class of 1929) to the McMahon Tomlinson Nursing Center which is part of the Comanche County Memorial Hospital Complex. If you are in the Lawton area, please drop by to visit Eva. Do understand that some days are harder for her than others, that she’s not exactly happy with her latest move and may possibly express that to you. Should that be the case, do yourself, Eva, and Glenda a favor by assuring her that she is exactly where she needs to be to get the care that she deserves. Regardless, we know she would enjoy having company.

To our knowledge Eva is the oldest living graduate of Roosevelt. She is such an icon from Roosevelt’s past. All remember her vibrant days at the Farmers’ Co-op. During her most productive years, no single Roosevelt business person commanded more respect—especially from the farmers—than Eva.

Note: The editors wish both Eva and Glenda the best in this most difficult time.

Earthquakes and Wild Weather

Oklahoma had the strongest earthquake ever to hit the state on Saturday night just before 11:00 p.m. The magnitude 5.6 earthquake and its aftershocks still had residents rattled Sunday. This earthquake followed one on Saturday morning that was of the 4.5 magnitude. Two minor injuries were reported. And, aside from a buckled highway and the collapse of a tower on the St. Gregory's University administration building in Shawnee, no major damage was reported. However, some homes near the epicenter at Sparks, Oklahoma, did suffer some damage. We have reports of some Oklahoma residents being woken by the quake. Others report that dishes, etc., rattled in their homes—all an unnerving experience. Then on Monday night another quake of a 4.7 magnitude rattled the state again.

The state has seen a dramatic, unexplained increase in seismic activity.
Oklahoma typically had about 50 earthquakes a year until 2009. Then the number spiked and 1,047 quakes shook the state last year, prompting researchers to install seismographs in the area. Now, you probably are saying I never felt those quakes. Those quakes actually happened but they were of such a low magnitude that you do not feel them. Only specialty equipment records those low magnitude quakes.

If the residents weren’t rattled enough by the Saturday quakes, Monday afternoon brought severe thunderstorms. Kiowa County was right in the line of the extreme weather with tornadoes reported in several locations. One tornado which started in the Tipton area of Tillman County continued along a path to just east of Snyder and continued through to the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge. Damage was reported in the Tipton area. It dipped down again just east of Snyder as it crossed Hwy 62 and the granite mountains hitting the home of Snyder High School Principal, Mark Batt. The house escaped serious damage but a garage was totally destroyed along with trees. The family safely survived the storm in the cellar. Another tornado was sighted just north of Hobart but no damage was reported there. Again, tornado activity in November is unusual. The rain that accompanied the storms certainly was welcomed by all.

This has been a year of records. Last winter brought a record 24-hour snowfall to parts of the state and the lowest temperature ever recorded in Oklahoma. The extreme heat and drought of the summer followed by the earthquakes and November tornadoes certainly make one wonder what might be next on the horizon. Who knows!

Humor

Christmas is just around the corner and we thought some of you might be needing suggestions for gifts. Now, we expect that you, your family, or your friends probably have many if not all of these tools. However, after reading the following explanation of what the tools actually do--rather than what you thought they did (or were used for), you may decide that you need an additional tool for your tool box or the tool box of a friend or family member.

Tools Explained

Drill Press: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

Wire Wheel: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it take you to say, “Oh sh--!”

Skil Saw: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.

Pliers: used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.

Belt Sander: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.

Hacksaw: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle…It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

Vise-Grips: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of hour hand.

Oxyacetylene Torch: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.

Table Saw: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.

Hydraulic Floor Jack: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.

Band Saw: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.

Two-Ton Engine Hoist: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.

Phillips Screwdriver: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.

Straight Screwdriver: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.

Pry Bar: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

Hose Cutter: A tool used to make hoses too short.

Hammer: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.

Utility Knife: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes but only while in use.

Son-Of-A-Bitch Tool: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling “Son of a BITCH!” at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

Hope you found this informative.

WOW.  Mike and Carolyn, what a great issue! I had heard rumors of the music festival days in the past couple of months, but never knew of them or at least did not remember them.  I am sure they were before my time.  Which Mike, makes me one of the younger ones you refer to in the newsletter.  Small towns!  I grew up basically in Roosevelt before we moved to Snyder between my 8th and 9th grade years. I have always had a special place in my heart for small towns.  That probably explains the heartache when we drive through towns in western Oklahoma I remember as alive and busy communities when I was a youth and now to see them just shy of being ghost towns.  To think of the adventures, friendships, memories, and life long no generational life in families who strived to not only live in great towns like Roosevelt but to see their children and grandchild do the same.  Although I graduated a Cyclone, I'll always be a proud Roughrider at heart.  But that red has to go!

We really enjoyed reading about the Band Festivals.  They were great and Wayne will check to see if he has anything we can send you as he was in the band.  I remember they once performed at night on the Roosevelt street and they had lights on their shoes and they did some dance steps.  Dozens of buses loaded with band members, singers, etc. descended on the town and certainly increased the population for a few days.  Members of all the churches provided the food.

We read about Cecil Perkins' health problems.  Would you send his mailing address so we can send him a card?

You and Carolyn certainly put out a good newsletter!  I assume you scanned those articles and didn't have to type all of it.

Mike, F. D. "Fern" Hooker was the algebra and geometry teacher of that era. Not sure but Monroe Chadwick might have been science. The band article was great. I know that was time consuming. Sure brought in the memories. Thanks Carolyn.

Mike:

Every time I finish reading a newsletter, I have a big smile on my face.  You and your wife have brought back so many memories.  Buried but not forgotten memories.  I was in Mrs. Edmundson's 2nd grade class in 1957.  She really loved to decorate her classroom and I always loved to touch them although I knew I was not supposed to.  They were so pretty.  I also loved to sing in the bathroom.  I had no idea the class could hear me.  The class told her one day I always sang in the bathroom and she just said "I know.”  lol   I have found myself smiling more and more these days. 

Thanks to you and your wife.

I have a 1955 annual and it has pictures of all the classes in high school. Mr. Alexander, Junior High Principal, taught math or at least it looks like him in the picture and Mr. Hooker, high School Principal, taught science. I can tell for sure from the picture it is him. It is really interesting to look back through the old annual from 1955. Ethelyn Rickerd was annual queen, Jane Lyde was grade school queen, and Wendell Johnson was band king. Laverne Johnson was drum major of the band, Beverly Gray was majorette, Bobbe Tate was majorette, and Vera New was majorette. There are pictures of the Roughriders grade band, Roughriders beginning band, senior high girls’ octette, and grade school chorus. Then, of course, the famous Roosevelt Rhythm Band, pictures of the pep club, “the Rideretts of 1954,” student council members, Bronc staff for the school newspaper. Junior play for that year was “Ginger Snaps Back” and senior play was “The Great Ben Allah.” Bobbe Tate was football queen, Laverne Johnson was basketball sweetheart. An interesting fact I did not realize until I started looking at the 1955 annual was the boys basketball team was called the Roughrider Cagers and the girls basketball team was called the lady cagers. Of course, the junior high teams were called the junior high Roughrider cagers and junior high lady cagers.

Looking back brings good times, good memories and bad times and bad memories, but all of these are what made us who we are today--the good as well as the bad. Roosevelt will always have a special place in my heart. No matter how far I am from there, it will always be home. When we get to go back to Roosevelt or Hobart, we always go to the lake and look around. I can remember some things that were there and where they were but it is sad because so many places have changed and I can’t remember where things were. But that is progress and I am glad the lake is there.

We wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and hope each and everyone can be with family at this time. Without family, holidays are a sad and depressing time.

That was very interesting reading.  I did not know the extent of the band festivals.  Of course I was a wee bit young in 1951.  But I remember Rhythm Band and marching.  Could not tell you what I played in rhythm band but remember Mrs. Sears and Mrs. Edmundson conducting. I actually remember some of the festivals in the mid 50's when Roosevelt was still a thriving little hamlet.  Of course the biggest treat of the year was the Roosevelt Free Fair.

I hope Judy Johnson Erickson is on the receiving end of your Roosevelt News - East Coast Edition.  I certainly enjoyed her poem.  I did not see her at this year's reunion.  Was she there?  I always look for her.  She is such a dear, dear person.  I have known her my entire life.  My daddy worked for Carl Johnson driving a truck.  I remember sitting in my daddy's lap while he drove the truck.  He would let me put my little hands on the wheel.  I was probably all of 5 years old. Guess that began my driving career.  Was driving on my own by age 7. Grandpa Vern let me drive out in the pasture--was driving on roads by 8.  When you are long legged you can reach the clutch, brake, starter and gas pedal, shift those gears and off we would go--maybe to LeRoy and Gayle's house!!

Mike and Carolyn, once again a great news letter!  You just seem to find the best news to send out each week.  This is what will keep Roosevelt alive.  Help some of the young ones to know what kind of town it really was.  Not the little place with boarded up windows of downtown and junk cars all over the town.

Thank you again and have a wonderful week.

Hi Mike and Carolyn,

I'm enjoying the Roosevelt newsletter so much! Thanks for putting your heart and soul into this endeavor. You both are appreciated more than you'll ever know. I had to LOL when you published the picture of me on the Roosevelt Band Brochure. I have one of those hidden away some where. I remember when Benny Valentine came down to the grade school (I was in the first grade) and ask that I go with him to the high school. I thought I was in serious trouble. I was scared to death! What could I have done that they would want me to go to the high school to be punished????? Mrs. Sears must have known what was going on, but she didn't let me know. When I found out why I was being taken out of class and to the high school I was so relieved!!!! Well, that was the start of a wonderful time in my life. Talk about a lot of fun. Wow! All of the high school students treated me so nice and I loved being with the "big kids." My cousin, Koleata Talley took me under her wing and I became a real pest to her and Mervyn Hackney I'm sure. They used to take me with them once in a while on a date. Remember one time they came by and picked me up and took me to Craterville. Know everyone remembers Craterville. Sure loved Koleata, still miss her. Also remember my twirling days as I took lessons from Beverly Gray (she was really good by the way). Always entered the twirling contest that took place in the old Gym. I always loved the Band Festivals all through school, loved it when we traveled to other cities. It was so sad when we lost our band. I'm thankful I had that experience. Thanks for publishing what was printed in the Band Festival brochure. Just reading all those names of people I knew brought back some special memories.

Love to both of you,

Judy (Nash) Williams, Class of 1961
