Rural Oklahoma is a special place that has powered Oklahoma’s future since 1907. As you travel our state you feel the sense of community and responsibility for nurturing the next generation of Oklahomans. It’s here that store fronts and main streets still generate the next big idea for our economy and the next leaders to provide guidance to our future.

DEAR ABBY: I met a man, “Gabe,” 30 years ago. We had a very good time together. We dated some and even traveled occasionally. I liked him a lot but, when we met, I was divorced and looking for marriage. He was not. I moved for my job, and met and married someone else.

Waaaay back in August, at the start of this school year, Baby Yoda roamed our hallways collecting positive predictions for the upcoming school year. (Yes, Star Wars zealots, I know it’s not Baby Yoda.) The green guy himself was vacationing on Dagobah, so I opted for a Baby Yoda backpack, where I placed the prognostications of students from PK to 12th grade. As you can imagine, a distinct theme ran through them: the fear of more preemptive school closures. Of course, some drew pictures, and many shared hopes of new friends, but others relayed the nightmares of quarantines and forced virtual school. Their thoughts touched my heart and made Grogu’s little chin wrinkle.
Earlier this week, a leaked document from the U.S. Supreme Court shows that the highest court in our land is poised the overturn Roe v.
DEAR ABBY: Last year my mother passed away after a 15- year battle with lung cancer. When I tell people she died, I am not bothered if they ask what she died from.
