The Sooner State

Oklahoma; formed from Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory in 1907.
Sheldon flew to Oklahoma City for a second training for his employment with the Tulalip Tribes.
Other than a stop in Dallas, Texas both ways, and being under tornado watch, it was an uneventful five-day trip!
Sheldon was glad to be back home at the end of the week, and we were happy he was home too!

Many will remember the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, 
the worst act of domestic terrorism in American history until the events of 9/11/01.

Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols (no relation) detonated an explosive outside of the
Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building which killed 168 people, including 19 children.
