I met my hero this weekend
Bob Lemon, of Oklahoma. Met him at a party hosted by his son.

This gentleman is 75 years old, has trouble walking (and I would imagine traveling), yet he was just back from Camp Casey, and will be marching on Washington on the 24th. Has been a lifelong Democrat since seeing FDR speak when he was 7 years old. I want to be him when I grow up!

2. Do you know where in OK he's from?
I was born there (about the time he heard FDR speak). He makes this native Oklahoman proud!

3. If I recall....
...he's not an OK native, but from Texas! But I believe he lives now in Oklahoma city.

4. Ah, a Texas to OK transplant!
Just like my Mama shortly before she had me. Either way, it's good and he's a worthy hero. Thanks for the info!
