State Senator Gene Stipe's A Gathering of Heroes

Abstract

Fint the disclaimer: I am an employee ofthe Oklahoma State Senate Staff and as such work for all 48 Oklahoma State Senators, including Gene Stipe. I do have an autographed copy of his volume personally signed for me by Senator Stipe. I paid for the volume but not the autograph. Finally, I am not a native Oklahoman and was not in the state during much ofthe period covered. While I have heard of many of the people Senator Stipe mentions and have actually met a few, I don't know any of them on a close, personal basis.
