Hey, 64, I love stories like that that show what us okies are made of. One of the most telling stories in that vain that I ever heard came from Tom Brocaw while he was here covering the bombing. Paraphrased, this is what he said.
"I have covered many events of devistation and in all cases the prices of everything skyrockets immediately, from available food to necessary supplies. Not here in Oklahoma City. Trucks just began showing up with all manner of needed supplies and there is NO charge. Food is free right now as there is no way set up to deal with money. I have never seen such generous people"
I have never been so proud to be an Oklahoman. Damn near bawled like a baby.
