Interesting thought this morning on this subject. Somewhere up the chain of command of ancestors was a relative, who came to Oregon as an immigrant, being a Okie Dustbowl emigrant. I guess now I am the emigrant from Oregon and an immigrant to OK- completing the circle and using both spellings.
Also, good to see another familiar face my friend! Thank you for chiming in!

What’s up everyone! Originally from Oregon. But Oregon got so insane with their anti-liberty policies we finally packed up and moved to the reddest state in the union. Nine families in total left and we all ended up within a half hour of each other northeast of tulsa. We love it here. grateful to God we ended up here. A lot of people asked why Oklahoma and I tell them they should come here and find out. Patriotism in our schools, respect for police, lower cost of living. Anyways, glad to be here. If you have any questions about the socialist land of Oregon I’d be happy to answer 😃.
Welcome to Okie land. Glad you could find a place that satisfies you and your family. Been here for over 30 years. Retired from Fort Sill in 1993. Best place in the states to live (some will argue with that though).

yes sir we love it. Crazy being born and raised in Oregon and watching it slip further and further into a liberal dump it’s like a frog in boiling water that starts off room temp. Didn’t realize how bad it was until we got here. Eternally grateful!

It's a shame and there are more and more places like it every day. Wish for the older days, 60's and 70's were fun.

Great time to grow up ! Not a great time for a lot of young adults!
Had a good friend of ours from church who was a chopper gunner in Vietnam. That poor man was haunted from the things he saw and the things he had to do. He passed away a couple years ago from cancer. For the crap he lived through he was one of the kindest people you could ever know. Grateful for men like him in my life that’s for sure
