... Frequently Asked Questions
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.

113
years ago my great-grandfather (W.L. Wright) printed the very first
issue of "The Collinsville News" May 11, 1899 in Indian
Territory. My family published that newspaper for 88 years until
my dad sold it 1987. Thirteen years ago today, I officially opened
the "Newspaper Museum In Collinsville" in 1999. -- Ted

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

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
