FYI: The further behind I get, the more stubborn I get. For the person who has left a note on my door twice for me to call them to get info for a yard sale ad (rather than leaving the actual ad text & $5) ... I won't be calling. This is primarily an internet business and I get the majority of info from email. If you don't have email, you can leave written info via mail or the mail slot. A telephone call is the least accurate way to conduct this business. -- Frequently Asked Questions (#8, #11, #12) -- Ted Wright -- 5/31/2012

Ted, We got word yesterday, that Cowgirls n' Angels will be in theatres in 2 weeks!! It opens May 25, and will be showing in Owasso. There are a few other venues in the Tulsa area that will also be showing it. Haley plays the role of "Rose" and does all the trick riding stunt work and Holt did the trick riding stunt work for "Ida" (Bailey Madison". Yesterday, someone sent Haley a picture of the poster that was in a movie theater under "coming soon". She made the poster- doing the hippodrome liberty stand. I know school will be out and several have asked when it will be in theaters. I am excited to see the final product. We missed the first premiere in Dallas- because Haley chose to go the prom instead. If possible, could you please post on your website the opening info. Thanks so much. -- Charlene Ganzel (5/10/2011) -- Previous Coverage

So give me a few days then it will be more obvious who I need additional photos to be submitted for. -- Ted 12:45pm Wed May 2nd}  
May 1st Plan: I'm in a catch-22 with news backlogging and slow progress on senior pages that should have been completed for today ... so will spend a few hours on news from last week and then put the senior pages online early May 2nd in their current condition. Many pages are not ready for release, but waiting to upload completed pages one at a time would take twice as much time that I already don't have. So please be patient, this will likely take weeks before I can say they are all complete to my satisfaction. If you do submit photos (to wrightted@aol.com), please no more than 4 can be accepted. -- Ted 11:40am Tues. May 1st
