Floyd, my thoughts are always with you on this day!
1775 - the “shot heard around the world” was fired. The American Revolution began.
1861 - first blood in the civil war.
1995 - My life changed forever. RIP Larry, Harley, Peter, Bob, Jean and 163 others.

Terrible to loose friends like that. I remember walking through the lunch room at work, looking at the TV thinking that had to be a natural gas explosion. How little did I know at that time.
Floyd, do you know Randy Norfleet? He was the Marine recruiter in a meeting on the 6th floor when the bomb went off. Everyone around the table lost their lives and he was left sitting in his chair looking out and down at the destruction. He lost his right eye and had to retire as a result. He was also the first witness in McVeigh's trial and has been on several documentaries of the bombing.
I hired him to take my place when I retired. Good man.
Sooner born, Sooner bred and when I die, I'll be Sooner Dead!

I did know Randy but not well. I remember him from the trial as well. I was one of the last to testify.
