interesting show

If you have a chance either this Monday night, or next Saturday night, you will have to flip over to OETA (see their site for the time).

There is a short little documentary on the 1909 hanging in Ada. I have heard about it ever since I have been down here, but never had actually heard the full story and explanation of what happened. Anyway, I found it interesting. Here are the details from the OETA site.

Death of the Old West

program / series description:
The 1909 lynching in Ada of four men suspected of murdering a local rancher.

Yea, they sure took care of things then didn't they! Just a side note, the gentleman they interviewed that was related to Bobbitt, I used to work at Sykes with. I had no clue he had any ties to that until last night. Just goes to show it is a small world (or town, haha).

I saw it, was really interesting, had no idea all the big goings on in a small town.
