Dear friends:

My father Ted (Teddy) Lee Luther, graduate of the 1922 class. He was born in 
1904 in Yale Oklahoma and passed away in 1966 in Long Beach California. I am 
his son John Michael Luther. I have his annual of that year (1922) and it is 
in incredible shape. What a great looking group of graduates. I feel very 
close to this school. I have been there before with my father. It was quite a 
moving experience. My father told me a funny story about locking a cow in the 
auditorium the night before an assembly the next day. When the day arrived it 
was a big mess and of course therefore there was no assembly. My dad married 
Edna B. Zeller and they moved to California in the 1930s. He worked for the 
Ford Motor Co. for 35 years stating in Oklahoma City and then Long Beach 
California. 

I am looking for relatives of my father and therefore of me. If you have any 
information that would help me please let me know. If there are by chance 
still classmates of my father that are still alive and able, I would love to 
hear from them.

Thank you.

Dear friends:
 
I just sent you an email about my father Ted Luther, graduate of the 1922
class. In his annual he had kept track of the football games of that school
year (wins and loses).

That's it. This is probably no new news but I thought you might be
interested. By the way, I was looking at a picture of Marcye Clark (Marcye
Clark Barney). Wow what a looker. she's got to be 98 years old, but when she
was a senior at Cushing (now a senior citizen) she was a bomb. I wonder if
she knew my dad.
 
Enough of this. I miss my dad and feel closer to him just communicating with
you. I am a composer of music and just had some music performed by the
Philadelphia orchestra. Both he and my mom would be proud. I am now the age
of Teddy Luther when he passed away. He is the first one pictured in the
section on seniors on page 26 of the OILER of 1922.
 
Please keep in touch,
John Luther
