Ruthie's mom came to this country in 1928. Passed Ellis Island, and immediately boarded a train to Okeene, Oklahoma. We took a detour off of I40 to check out Okeene. (A much easier trip for us.) Ruthie's mom worked for the local town banker....and State Guarantee Bank still exists on Main Street. Then off to check out the town and the cemetery where some relatives are interned, along with friends of the family. Following our driving and sojourn to Okeene, found a Army Corp of Engineers campsite right on the Arkansas River. We love the Army!
