Greetings from Chickasaw National Recreation Area

This photo is of my husband’s chair in the OKC memorial bombing museum. Park Ranger Daniel was there and has been for a number of years. He’s a wonderful spirit to help folks navigate the grounds and to just be present for those with questions. I needed a hug and got one of those, too. He’s wonderful! Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum is the name but your website won’t let me list that.

Sincerely,
Barbara
