Medicine Park played host by students from Lawton public Schools. On Tuesday the first graders Crosby Park came with their teachers and some parents and grandparents.  And on Wednesday it was the 3rd graders from Whittier. Charley Wright, who brings the book, Trapped in Death Cave, to life, held court again as he furnished details on the local writer’s, Bill Wallace, book. He explained what part of the book was fictional and what parts of the book were based in reality. Charley has taken on the role for a seemingly endless parade of schools and school children. Odus Hennessee, who has been a partner in these presentations, brought out his guitar and sang the Possum Song which has become the unofficial anthem of Medicine Park. And enjoyed by visitors of all ages.  The Marauders showed up as well with Michael Fahrion as Marshal Payne, Randy Hansen as DOG, Lee Hibbetts as Calamity and yours truly, as Little Britches joining in to help tell the history of the Park. Always part  of the presentation is Charley’s guided tour of the Park pointing out places that were referred to in the story. More groups are scheduled in including the Burkburnett and Ft. Worth Texas school kids.

Thanks, Charley
