Elementary and Junior High
Posted Saturday, November 11, 2017 07:34 AM

I notice that there is no menu item for my elementary school which was Bryant. It was in what had formerly been Dawson prior to it being annexed by Tulsa in the late 1940s. On my way to and from school, I walked by the Spartan trailer factory.  In the parking lot was J. Paul Getty's underground bomb shelter.

We lived northwest of the Admiral Twin. Mom worked at Spartan. I used to walk up Sheridan to the Air National Guard Base and watch the troops drill on their weekends. If I was lucky, I might get to see some fighter planes taxying. I was about twelve at the time.
