Greg Wood - A teammate on the Turley Jets, and one of the best baseball players I've ever seen, pitcher and shortstop. Would love to hear from you, send me
a message if by chance you get this! Greg's father was a minister, has an older brother named Alan who also played baseball and was a very good player. Jeff Webster, who became a close friend and who played against us, for the Penn Cougars, reckons Greg wasn't all that great but Jeff never gives another dude credit and did not play with Greg all the time like I did. Penn kicked our tails, and were the Tulsa champs for many years, but so did some others teams but we were competitive, middle-tier team when Greg was on the team. It all went downhill for the Jets once he moved away...More later after I get some fotos scanned or if some of these Tulsa lugnuts could send me one. Help a brother out and email me your mug homeskillets or I will just scan your goober pictures from yearbooks. You know who you are! Here's a partial list of bd's Most Wanted in no particular order (if you know me from back in the day charge it to my head and not my heart if you're not listed!): Joey (Neon or Frosty) Sanders, Jeff (Let it Whip) Webster, Gary (Spook) Leak , my high school paisan, we ragged on each other non-stop every single day. Bruce (White boys really can play b.ball) Watts, David Ullrich, Shan Cox, Pee Wee Lehman, Bobby Mayes, Jr., Marty Irwin, Marcus "Magic" Jackson, Darryl Buttrey, Joe Smith, Pat Montgomery, John Whittaker, and Mark "You should have taken me to some of those throwdowns" Barre. A guy I really miss Butch Watts (RIP), only a teammate with Butch for only one year but felt privileged to have played baseball with him, a person who did more for my confidence than perhaps anyone in human form...
Other high school paesan &/or teammates: Central H.S. boys - Eddy "Crazylegs" Helker, Forrest Carpenter, Robert Clark, Donnie Veale, Felix Navarro, and who am I forgetting? another Rob (wore glasses, super nice guy)?; Danny Hightower from Owasso, co-worker and ghetto superstar Reuben Jones...
From Monroe J.H.S.: Mike & Wayne Jones, Brian Turner, Tony Duke, Rufus McCaroll, Jesse Vann, Dwayne Vann (RIP), Reggie Howell (whom I caught up w/ at NEO), Bubba Carpenter, who else?

Former teammates, from Tulsa Welding School (Babe Ruth League) Ronnie Hollaway and Charlie Tripp, and long-time opponent Ricky Cook (hey, how about your old HS coach getting to Miami U?!); my juco roommate Todd Terrell, Scott Boone, Brian "Ox" and his brother Kevin (surname?), Robert Clark, Tom McCool. from B.A., , ;
Other NEO friends: Jim Gray (now principal chief of the Osage Nation, congrats Jim!, David "Woobs" Edsall, Keith Boedecker (what happened to you main?), Frankie Gant, Ron Blades, et al.

Finally my old church buddies from Gilcrease B.C.: Robert Scott, Tom & Becky McCaslin, Donald Goodell, Terry Scott & family, Brasel Thomas & family, including the lovely Jamie, Brian Morrow, all the kiddies, where's Reggie, Rodney & Roger (man, that's all these people do (at Falls Creek summer camp) is go to church), and Chris?
