My family moved to Bokoshe in 1961 from central Texas. I graduated from Spiro HS in 1970, from the University of Oklahoma in 1975 with a BBA in business, worked in various financial sectors, part owner and operator in three nursing facilities until 2002. I'm currently involved in health care, funeral home, and ranching. I have six children all living in the state of Oklahoma, with 15 grandchildren(actually 14--but we still count the one that is now with the Lord knowing that we will see him One Day). I have been an active members of Cross Community Church for the past, almost, 32 years.
