I wish there had been wind when I went to Oklahoma last July. Thankfully, I missed the real heat wave. It was only 105 degrees. It had been 110 degrees the day before.

But like all my travels, it wasn’t the weather that left a lasting impression, but the people.  I met very kind, interesting and interested people. Among them, Prof. Scott Lamascus and Carla Walker, who interviewed me (for three hours!) for the Oklahoma Humanities Council Magazine. This is, by far, my favorite print interview of all time. I hope you enjoy it. If you do, and want to write a letter to the editor of the magazine, please do so! They will publish the letters in the next issue of the magazine.

Enjoy the article, and the pictures. (Cut and paste the above link.) Notice that no one rocks a bouffant like my great second-grade teacher, Mrs. Sandberg!
