Welcome, Mike, and how far West? I was born in Carter County (Ardmore), and as a kid, lived in Oklahoma City, Healdton, Marlow, and Marietta before moving to Texas 53 years ago.
Yeah, Jay, my dad was easily bored, changed jobs a couple of times, then worked for a company that transferred him 3 times before he bought a service station in Marietta. But when the highway bypassed the middle of town during the 1956 drought, we moved to Texas to make a living and I've been here ever since.
