"Live your life, so that whenever you lose you are ahead" -Will Rogers

We honor the memory of Oklahoma's
beloved native son. A modest, unspoiled
child of the plains, cowboy, actor, humorist and world traveler whose homely philosophy and superior gifts brought laughter and tears to Prince and Commoner alike. His aversion to sham and deceit, his love of candor and sincerity, coupled with abounding wit and affable repartee, won for him universal homage and an appropriate title,

"Ambassador of God's will"
