Soon to be Tulsa Bound
« on: January 25, 2012, 03:37:21 PM »
My wife got some grim news about her grandfather and we may be heading to Tulsa, Oklahoma in the next 48 hours. Her grandfather, John, is a veteran of WW2 (Pacific) and one heck of a stand up guy. He lived in Macalister (SP?) and recently was moved up to Tulsa to be closer to family and facilities to care for him. John reminded me of John Wayne and my grandfather (Who was also named John) put together. Tall fellow who would tell you like it was. Straight shooter. It is a pity to lose good men like him though he has lived a long life.
Waiting for the call and then loading up my wife and daughter into the Jeep for that 12 hour drive. It will be nice once we get there to be with family.
While in Tulsa I am going to try and visit the US Shooting Academy. I was looking at their website and appears to have a competition on 1/28. So if we are there at the time, I am definitely going to check it out.

Thanks. I was trying to remember which of our DRTV buds lived in Oklahoma.

Safe travels!

Best to the family and my prayers go with you.

If it works out, USSA is a great place.  I was there under the old management, but from all indications the new is just as good if not better.

Be safe!

Yeah, well, they needed the change-over after that horrible flying UPS shorts incident!!   ;)

Safe travels, and let me know if you can't get hold of Rastus - he works crazy hours and does not spend as much time here as he would like to. I may be able to short-circuit the wait. However, he lives near OK City, not Tulsa. Not that far, though.

Will be thinking and praying about/for you and your family.  Have a safe trip.  Hope you get a chance to shoot...seems like a good facility.

God Bless,

Thanks fellas. We are just waiting on the call. I did send a message to Rastus. I understand about working crazy hours. Have not worked a normal shift since I left Chrysler. LOL  ;D

Ping, thought and prayers are with you and yours. I think you will enjoy USSA, might also check out Bass Pro in Broken Arrow and the J.M. Davis Gun Museum in Claremore. I am 45 miles north of Tulsa.
