T -Thunderbird Inn Motel.

On old Route 66 after exiting the Turner Turnpike from Tulsa. We lived in T-town from '56-'61 and when we came to see my Grandparents in OKC I always knew we were getting close when I saw that cool neon bird.

The "Square Ring" used to meet there toward the end. It was a group of
boxing enthusiast and old boxers that met every month. Virginia Rimmer was
a very important person in preserving the boxing history of Oklahoma and
produced a book that I have in my library. She introduced me to several old,
old time boxers.
