Great stuff, Art – the pictures and the stories.

The pictures from Okemah caught my eye since I was there last week. The town seems less leery of Woody than you found it in '86. The main road into town from I-40 is now Woody Guthrie Blvd, and there is a modest statue in a park on Broadway. The town still looks like it does in your photos. The foundation is about all that remains of the old home site, the "Guthrie Hole", but there is a chainsaw sculpture in the yard to mark the location.
