DeTomaso Mailing List: March 2001, Message #122

I also have received my Profiles and newsletter together this past week. On
a related note about OK:

Just for grins my grandmother was born in Tennessee and moved to Muscogee at
the age of six in a covered wagon in 1904. Then they lived in Oklahomas City
and Okmulgee as well. Interesting stories from her about those years through
the depression, etc. I was born in Wisconsin because my mother met a sailor
stationed in Oklahoma (don't ask me why!) around WWII who was from Milwaukee
and they got married and moved here. Fascinating, hey?
