First off who remembers the old red brick streets? Isn't it interesting how those streets last forever and we are constantly replacing and repairing the new streets without brick underneath.
Who knows when Shidler was founded?
Where did it get its name?

| Grainola |

Trying to find information on the old Oxley? Ranch Mansion that used to be on Salt Creek northeast of town. Stumbled upon the ruins while rounding up scrap metal 20 years back. An older gentleman named Bob told me to go out to his sisters ranch, and I found the place. Old polo grounds, huge buggy barn, and the old house was made of cut sandstone snd had been 3 stories tall.
Peggy, great to hear from you. I was in Marcus' class. My family and I fellowshipped with Jim Frank and his family for a few years around 1995-97 here in Tulsa. He is an outstanding world famous speaker and a great Christian. My mother was known as Winnie Stock.
My grandma was Martha Baker, daughter of Opal Baker/Mashino/Yamamoto. She went to Shidler High School in the 1940s
