We had a good turn-out Saturday (Oct 18th) for the
picnic (hog-fry) in the Kenwood Community Center. We arrived at about 10
O'clock in the morning and found Chuck Deerinwater behind the center, cooking
hog meat in a big cast iron kettle.
It wasn't long
before folks started showing up from all over; Elliot and EttaMae Pulliam
came down from Kansas, Melba Burris came from Arkansas, Milo Yellowhead
came from New Mexico, Ruby and I came from Texas and others came from OK
City, Ada, Tulsa, and of course Tahlequah.
Some of those
who enjoyed the picnic were: Harris Cully, Cecil Blackwood, Rex Vann, Joe
Kingfisher, Fannie Houston, Robert & Kay Cornsilk, Thompson & Shirley
Gouge, Mixwater & Nancy Buckskin, Sue Griffin, Loretta Lewis and many
of our regulars.
For those of
you who were unable to attend, you missed a good time of story telling,
good eats and the company of old friends and fellow Sequoyah alumni.
I know some
are going to say, "I didn't know about the picnic." Well it was announced
in the last newsletter. If you didn't get the newsletter, perhaps it's
because you aren't on the mailing list.

friends would like to be added to the mailing list and not miss the next
