You old timers may remember Don White who was a hypnotist. The first time I saw Don was at an OASFAA conference almost 30 years ago. It was the fall of 1986 at the Hilton Inn in OKC. Heck, some of you young whippersnappers were just a gleam in your parents eyes back then. Anyway, I had been in OASFAA for about six years and was just getting to know some of the OASFAA personalities - Ed Queeny, Warren Wilson, Rhonda Freeman, Mary Coffey, David Horn, Chuck Pappan, Richard Dean, Dave Barrett, Elton Davis, Archie Gwartney, Don Matthews, Carole Pence and even Pam McConahay just to name a few. Well, Don was the banquet entertainment, and it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen! If you have ever seen a hypnotist perform, when you know the people involved it makes the show a gazillion times more funny. He had people doing things completely out of their character. But he was a gentleman, nothing morally inappropriate of course. We were laughing ourselves to tears; it was hilarious! Too bad we didn't have cell phones back then! We had Don come back once in subsequent years, however that story is for another day. I'm sure you have some interesting personalities in the association today, but back in the 80's there were some real corkers! "Hall of Famers" is what we called them. Someday when I have more time, I'll have to tell you the story of a presentation by Henry Pace whose topic was "Meeting Unmet Need". Yes, as they say, those were the days...

He danced (not well) & played an imaginary guitar as Hank Williams Jr. BUT the best part was when the hypnotist convinced him that his buttocks had been removed. He was then directed to sit in a chair on stage, which he kept trying to do just to swoop up as he realized he had nothing to sit on. Don kept asking him why he wouldn't sit down...all Larry would say was "I can't." (Never did the words butt, hiney, or even posterior pass his lips.) Finally he was told a woman in the audience had his behind & he just needed to sit in her lap & twist to lock it back on so he did....and was awakened while still in her lap. Mary Mowdy & I were crying laughing & desperate for it to be over because we were about to wet our pants. They say you won't do anything under hypnosis that conflicts with your values or personality & I know that's true. I actually went to see Don White to get hypnotized to lose weight. I'm still fat and Larry was & still is a gentleman!

You old timers may remember Don White who was a hypnotist. The first time I saw Don was at an OASFAA conference almost 30 years ago. It was the fall of 1986 at the Hilton Inn in OKC. Heck, some of you young whippersnappers were just a gleam in your parents eyes back then. Anyway, I had been in OASFAA for about six years and was just getting to know some of the OASFAA personalities ? Ed Queeny, Warren Wilson, Rhonda Freeman, Mary Coffey, David Horn, Chuck Pappan, Richard Dean, Dave Barrett, Elton Davis, Archie Gwartney, Don Matthews, Carole Pence and even Pam McConahay just to name a few. Well, Don was the banquet entertainment, and it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen! If you have ever seen a hypnotist perform, when you know the people involved it makes the show a gazillion times more funny. He had people doing things completely out of their character. But he was a gentleman, nothing morally inappropriate of course. We were laughing ourselves to tears; it was hilarious! Too bad we didn?t have cell phones back then! We had Don come back once in subsequent years, however that story is for another day. I?m sure you have some interesting personalities in the association today, but back in the 80?s there were some real corkers! ?Hall of Famers? is what we called them. Someday when I have more time, I?ll have to tell you the story of a presentation by Henry Pace whose topic was ?Meeting Unmet Need?. Yes, as they say, those were the days?

You old timers may remember Don White who was a hypnotist. The first time I saw Don was at an OASFAA conference almost 30 years ago. It was the fall of 1986 at the Hilton Inn in OKC. Heck, some of you young whippersnappers were just a gleam in your parents eyes back then. Anyway, I had been in OASFAA for about six years and was just getting to know some of the OASFAA personalities - Ed Queeny, Warren Wilson, Rhonda Freeman, Mary Coffey, David Horn, Chuck Pappan, Richard Dean, Dave Barrett, Elton Davis, Archie Gwartney, Don Matthews, Carole Pence and even Pam McConahay just to name a few. Well, Don was the banquet entertainment, and it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen! If you have ever seen a hypnotist perform, when you know the people involved it makes the show a gazillion times more funny. He had people doing things completely out of their character. But he was a gentleman, nothing morally inappropriate of course. We were laughing ourselves to tears; it was hilarious! Too bad we didn't have cell phones back then! We had Don come back once in subsequent years, however that story is for another day. I'm sure you have some interesting personalities in the association today, but back in the 80's there were some real corkers! "Hall of Famers" is what we called them. Someday when I have more time, I'll have to tell you the story of a presentation by Henry Pace whose topic was "Meeting Unmet Need". Yes, as they say, those were the days...

Both schools were greatly affected by the May tornadoes that ravaged our state this past year. We will have a variety of 20 gift baskets that you will have the opportunity to win. For every dollar donation that you give, you will receive a ticket to be put into the basket of your choice. We will be taking donations Wednesday and Thursday until 4:30. Your donations can be made by cash or check. Please make checks payable to Moore Public Schools Tornado Relief. The drawings for the baskets will be during dinner Thursday night. You must be present to win or you may leave your ticket with a trusted friend who will be present, if you are not able to stay. We have put together 3 teams for a little friendly competition. Our gracious team captains will be Ron Hancock, Penny Gandy and Wayne Sparks! I wonder who will Kiss a Pig.

Following is some explanation of this terminology. Each bill is required to have a ?title? and an ?enacting clause? to be in proper form to be passed by the Legislature and sent to the Governor. When the information about a bill in the legislative update indicates that the title and/or enacting clause have been stricken or removed (or is ?off the legislation?), it means the bill in its current form cannot be sent to the Governor for consideration. This process of removing the title or enacting clause by the House or Senate simply keeps the bill alive for now but also requires that there will have to be further action/amendments in the future to restore the title/enacting clause before the bill could potentially be sent to the governor. It gets a little confusing but this process indicates that the legislature is keeping the bill alive at this point, but there is not yet final agreement on the language in the bill or whether or not the bill should ultimately be passed. It allows the legislature more time to keep discussing the bill until there is consensus on the language of the bill and on whether or not to pass it. HB 3211 is still very much alive. You can find the text of the most current version of the bill at http://webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2013-14%20AMENDMENTS/Amendment%20&%20Engr/HB3211%20SAHB%20&%20ENGR.PDF. Also in regard to HB 3211, I?m attaching a draft document that was recently provided to the Legislature with some analysis related to HB 3211. Let me know if you have further questions.

My understanding is that unless you are an eligible post-secondary vocational or proprietary institution, a program that leads to a certificate must be 1 academic year in length and must prepare the student for gainful employment. Post- secondary vocational institutions can be less than one year and the specifics are further discussed in the handbook. I have just been scheduled for a meeting to discuss the requirements for Certificate programs and Gainful Employment at our school too. Had some preliminary phone discussion about this a couple of months ago with Academic Affairs. Here we go.
