bullet  Marriage Notes:


Email from Eddene Hightower in Nov 2013:

"By the way, Oscar's just younger brother, Kenneth Orville Lightfoot and his wife, Margaret, had one daughter, Myra Jo Lightfoot just a year older than Sondra and me and Myra Jo is still living. She is on Facebook, too and we keep in touch occasionally. She was married to a Robert Harper who passed away in 2010, and they lived around Vinita or Ketchum, Ok area.

My sister, Lavon Hightower Lewis, started a FB page called "You Might Be From Vinita If..." August 2011 and we have about 2000 members now... talking about old times and current goings-ons, sharing photos, newspaper items, history.. Lots of good talks."
