Thanks Geoff,

The Roman Art Exhibit felt eerie and beautiful, standing among Gods and
Caesars.   The installation was impressive.

I really enjoyed my visit to that town and I'm happy Eric is going to
University there, so I have an excuse to visit often.

Some of the nicest people in the country live there.  I think the horrible
bombing of the Federal Building, shaped them into a resolute bunch of
people.  We went to Church at St. Paul's Cathedral, and were warmly
greeted.  That church was damaged so badly that it took two years to repair
it, and they never missed a single service in that time.

Oklahoma City is an unsung destination, but I really like it there.
