"Roll Call" - Introduce yourself

[Keith]

Hi!

I am called several names....Darla is my birth name but I answer to Mom, Grandma, Aunt Dorie and several more depending on whether I'm behind the wheel of an automobile. I am a native Oklahoman with stopovers in Canada, 3 years, Beaver Lake, Ar, 16 years, Yukon, 5 years. I am an avid gardener, a political junkie, active letter writer on a variety of subjects.....rail transportation, depleted uranium, local city council activities, etc.

Some of my best friends tell me I'm opinionated and I can't argue the point. I've already told everyone too much. Glad to be here!!

Hi Darla,

Welcome to this forum, and please feel free to post your opinions on anything. There are lots of good people on this forum, and many great discussions,so we are glad that you are here to share with us.

Hi, Spookytourchick......and welcome to the forum. I think you will find this a very unique place to be, and your opinions and ideas are always welcome. Being a single mom with 2 girls, means you are a very busy lady, so thanks for taking the time to register, and I hope we see more of you .

[Spookytourchick]

Thanks! I will try my best to visit!

Busy is an understatment, I should be in a padded room by now!

[Dave Cook]

Hello.......I am a former OKC'er who has lived in Tokyo for the past 8 years.

It's been kind of fun checking out some of the topics (esp. the nostalgia stuff) on these boards. I'm surrounded by 150 Japanese software programmers who don't relate much with conversations dealing with Del Rancho Steak Sandwich Supremes, Jim Traber, or OSU football. Well, Traber..maybe....but forget the rest.

Anyway....see you around.

[dirtrider73068]

Well welcome to the board SweetNSourPoke, and sgsooners. Since you said you like art festivals sgsooners, do you know about the may fair this weekend at andrews park. It runs fri sat sun, if you haven't been its a good place to go lots of art and other stuff too.

[Spookytourchick]

Where is St.Andrews park?

[dirtrider73068]

Andrews park is in downtown next to the railroad tracks. Its just south of the post office and the police station. If you are on gray street adn see the post office just turn left and you will see it. If you come off of 35 and take the highway 77 exit or flood street cross robison and go down to acres I think there is a light there now a muffler shop is on the corner turn left and that will take you right by there. If you need more better directions let me know.

Hi Phil......I would like to welcome you to this very unique forum. There are always many different discussions going on, and occasionally a good debate. It's great to hear that you have businesses that are real close to downtown, and I wish you and your wife, Lisa, the best of luck on remodeling your home.

Thanks for replying on the "roll call" thread, and I hope every visit you make to this forum is a pleasant one.

[Dungeon Master]

Hello Everyone,

I'm the Dungeon Master. This may sound weird to some of you but It's my title. I own a dungeon located in Bricktown, OKC.
A dungeon you say?
Yes, It's an amusment ride opening up in July.
I was born and raised in South OKC and went to the Moore school district. I joined the Air Force and years later went to the Okla Air National Guard where I am currently employed.
For a hobby I set up haunted houses and rides to provide clean, fun entertainment for families to enjoy.
OK, this guy is really weird. Well, blame it on my dad. He started it (when I was young).
Anyway, I'm glad to be aboard and hope to see this site progress as OKC/Bricktown progresses. I think it's great to see our town finally get on the maps of tourism. growth is a good thing and it can only get better.
Thanks,
The Dungeon Master
