Paw-paw goes to Ft Sill - voluntarily this time!

While the folks were here we made a quick trip to visit Ft Sill, the Army base where my dad was stationed for a couple of weeks when he was called up in 1972. I think things looked quite a bit different from when he was last there -- the old stockade he worked at no longer exists. And when Dad was last there he didn't have a car so he was limited to seeing things that his feet could carry him to. We took advantage of our set of wheels to see some sights. We took a quick spin through the base (fort? I don't know Army lingo...), checked out the Ft Sill Museum, walked around the historic fort, and saw Geronimo's grave.


After a couple of hours at Ft Sill, we continued through rural Oklahoma to the children's hospital in Oklahoma City so Maddie could have her surgery (more on that in the next blog post!).
