This book presents a nostalgic journey to selected scenes
associated with the author’s paternal roots as well as
recollections of his own childhood.
A collection of humorous and spellbinding stories is
intertwined with background material about a small Oklahoma town
of the 1930’s and 40’s and a glimpse of the small Illinois town
where the Dulanys settled and raised their families after
leaving Tennessee in the aftermath of the Civil War. An
entertaining read for individuals of all ages, for many this
book will revive memories of pre-television small town life. A
collection of relevant photographs and maps supplements the
text.
The lead story tells of the participation of the author’s
father in the mid 1930’s burial of the last survivor of the
Dalton Outlaw Gang. The gang was decimated in a shootout during
a failed bank robbery in Coffeyville, Kansas in 1892. Emmitt
Dalton died in California years later and his cremated remains
were returned to his family’s home area for burial. The burial
site of the early day outlaw remained unknown for many years.

OAS book
A “Gung ho” chaplain during his first tour in Vietnam, this
officer’s military career seemed doomed within its first few
years as a result of official blunders, unavoidable
circumstances and personality conflicts.
Empowered by a firm conviction that he had been Called by God
to The military, this chaplain persisted and ultimately survived
the challenge of these early tempestuous years. For a time his
career was trouble free and productive until a happen chance
run-in with the military’s infamous program of drug testing
upset this equilibrium and introduced months of a cat and mouse
game with the Army’s CID and JAG Corps.
