[Eoscstudents] Menu for Manic Mon. Oct. 16

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks, 

Boy, we sure had a nice Saturday followed by an extremely wet Sunday!  
My family and I journeyed to Keota Saturday for the Overstreet-Kerr  
Historical Farm Fall Festival and ran into Les and Ruth Brelsford along 
with C. C. and Suzee Puckett.  That's always an enjoyable place to visit 
and they looked like they were having a good time too. 

Then Sunday my husband and I went to the Latimer County Genealogical and 
Historical Society meeting where the guest speaker was Eastern's own 
Coach Clyde Wooldridge.  His subject was the history of coal mining in 
this area, which is a major reason a lot of our ancestors came to this 
area.  He has written a book on this subject  which should make for very 
interesting reading, with stories on some of the influential citizens  
(and maybe some of the infamous citizens, too)  that played a part in 
the history of the towns in this area.  He also mentioned that he has 
written a book about the history of Eastern Oklahoma State College, 
which is due out in the spring, and should also be very interesting 
reading.  He also said that if he is invited back, (and I bet he will 
be), he has information to share on the origin of last names and their 
meanings.  That could be a lot of help in doing genealogical research, 
as well as just interesting to listen to.

I hope as many of you as can are planning to attend the lecture given by 
Rep. Jari Askins today at 11:00 in Mitchell Auditorium.  It is not every 
day that we have the opportunity to learn from someone so influential in 
our state, and it should be well worth attending. 

Our menu for today includes:

          Spaghetti with meat sauce
          Whole little potatoes
          Green peas
          Italian vegetables
          Okra
          Rice
          Baked potato bar
          Hot rolls

Our fast food is a Chicken Strip Sandwich.

And for dessert we have some tasty Peach Cobbler.

Come on over,

Rhoda   :-)
