Cards of Thanks

The Express-Star

CHICKASHA — In Appreciation



We wish to thank everyone for the many kindnesses shown to us at the death of our loved one, David Thomas.  

Everything is so greatly appreciated, the abundance of food, the many visits from friends and family, card and letters, phone calls, the kind words, even the kind pats on a shoulder, the tears shed with us, and most of all, your many prayers.

We thank Sevier Funeral Home for taking us through this sad time with kindness and compassion even in the midst of their own sorrow.  

The EMT's worked diligently and are greatly appreciated. We thank College Heights Baptist Church fro providing a delicious lunch, and First Baptist Church and Crossroads Community Church for showing your love and compassion.

God Bless you all,

Bill & LaVelle Thomas,

Darren and Yvan Thomas,

Kory and Rebecca Thomas,

Rick Thomas and

Gaynelle and Larry Wyatt

HATS OFF TO P.S.O.



On Sunday morning, the day after Christmas, I woke up to a partial electrical outage and no heat.   Brrrrr!  

Upon notification P.S.O. promptly sent out an employee who found the problem (a bad outside wire) and put in a temporary fix.  

On Thursday, a whole crew showed up, promptly went to work and had a permanent fix in place- cleanly, efficiently and with a minimum of in convenience to me.  

Great big thanks to a great crew.

  • Uncle Joe, the windmill man for the Common Good

    South of town, my grandfather’s family grew wheat. North of town, my grandmother’s family raised cattle. Water was important to everyone and everything.  Unless you were fortunate enough to have a live creek on your land, you had a windmill.

  • Inhofe comments evidence of larger political problem

    There is no denying that global warming is one of the most disputed and politicized issues of the last two decades. Broach the subject with anyone that has an opinion on climatology, and that person transforms into a highly educated scientist with years of experience conducting weather related experiments.

  • Thank you Bryant Baker for our territorial mom….For the Common Good

    Gazing intently to the southwest with her chin held high, Oklahoma’s Pioneer Woman statute stands as a symbol of courage, faith and hope and is one of the most recognizable sculptures in the United States.  The statue is properly named “Confidence.”

  • Writer looks at constitutionality of presidents

    As I'll be turning 88 in June, I'd begun to lose hope for at last witnessing in my lifetime some legal accountability for the George W. Bush-Dick Cheney-Barack Obama-CIA-national security torture policy instituted after 9/11, which continues today.

  • Seeing the forest and the trees….for the Common Good

    Today, my optometrist would probably call it Macular Degeneration. In the 1940’s my family just knew that my grandfather’s cousin should not have been driving a car.

  • Dorman updates on remaining bills

    I have an update on my remaining bills going through the legislative process.  I will have three pieces of legislation which will need further work, but I expect good, thoughtful policies to come about from them.

  • Editorial: Tax continuation could only be good for Grady County

    Taxes are a necessity for any community on the verge of extreme growth, and Grady County is no different.

  • Perryman touts importance of reading

    I grew up in a house that received a daily newspaper, two weeklies and a number of magazines.  That was the norm.  My grandparents’ homes were the same.  So was their parents’.  Settling in western Caddo County in 1901, my Indiana great grandparents kept up with news from the area where they were raised through the ‘Churubusco Times’ and my Kansas great grandparents did the same with a paper from central Kansas.

  • Dorman reviews bills authored in senate

    As we proceed through the session, I wanted to provide you with some information on the bills I am authoring for Senators.  Each piece of legislation requires an author from both bodies, so these are the bills I am currently carrying for my colleagues across the rotunda.
