Genealogy research is one of the fastest growing hobbies in the United States. The Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center offers many historical research resources for northwest Oklahoma. The Research Center is also equipped with Ancestory.com for those on a quest to find their roots beyond the Cherokee Strip.

 

Join the Heritage Center for a Genealogy Seminar from Noon to 1pm on Saturday, August 11, 2012, in the Archival Research Center. The seminar will feature John Phillips, a professor and department head of Government Documents at the Edmon Low Library at Oklahoma State University where he has been on staff for nearly 40 years.

 

Mr. Phillips will be sharing information on the newly digitized plat map collection and how the collection can be used effectively for genealogy research along with other library resources at the Edmon Low Library on the OSU campus in Stillwater. The lecture is free to the public.

Coach Iba and the 1972 Olympics

Oklahoma Memories, 2010-08-02

by Michael Dean

 

"Doug Collins has perhaps won the game...2 seconds...somebody has gone down on the floor. The Russian coach and Hank Iba are - or a Russian official and Hank Iba were yelling at each other, and bedlam has taken over here at the basketball hall."

 

That's the voice of the ABC sportscaster broadcasting what he thought was the end of the USA vs USSR basketball game at the Munich Olympics in 1972.
