It happened in the early ’90s in an Oklahoma music store. John Cooper of the Red Dirt Rangers was chatting with the proprietor when the latter, who was both a musician and music historian, asked him how long the band had been together.

A photo album of these native Oklahomans is striking. One picture is of an accomplished TV and film actress strolling down the red carpet; there’s an action shot of a Division I college athlete. Other snaps include a successful fashion designer, a health-care professional receiving accolades from the U.S. surgeon general, and an internationally acclaimed poet.
These are images of...
Oklahoma students speak about a liberal-arts education
Often bypassed by thousands of aspiring seniors in Oklahoma high schools are small liberal-arts colleges nearby.
While the vast majority of in-state, college-bound students go to either the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, a regional university or a community college, small liberal-arts schools offer other higher-education options – primarily low student-faculty ratios, individualized...

Valdes fled Cuba on his uncle’s boat in 1980. With lengthy study, he became an aircraft inspector, first in Miami, Florida, then in Tulsa....
One Friday evening, Joel Bein, with a boyish grin that deserves to be trademarked, accepted the applause of a well-heeled audience at a charity benefit cooking contest. He had just won the top award over chefs from some of Tulsa’s finest restaurants and country clubs.
His winning dish was an intricate, artistically plated concoction of smoked and braised wagyu beef,...
