It’s been 5 years since they were both on the podcast, talking about opening Oklahoma’s first Summer Moon coffee shop locations. They currently have 8 locations and are aggressively opening more.

Sue Ann Arnall grew up in Poteau during the cultural revolution of the 60’s and 70’s. In her hometown she had the formative experience of witnessing her best friend’s parents, Dr. and Mrs. John Montgomery, establish the LeFlore County NAACP. After graduating from The University of Tulsa College of Law, she was recruited by the predecessor to Continental Resources to establish and manage the oil and gas marketing departments. There she enjoyed a successful career while raising her two beloved daughters, Jane and Hilary. Following her departure from the oil and gas industry, Arnall set her focus on a new aim—to level the playing field for marginalized individuals by lowering barriers to social and economic mobility. Informed by her early experiences and with the recognition that not all Oklahomans enjoy the same opportunities, she created the Arnall Family Foundation in 2015.   Since its founding, Arnall has invested more than $200 million primarily to improve Oklahoma’s foster care system and reduce its unprecedented incarceration rate. To meet the gaps and needs in the current system, she guided the Foundation to create the Diversion Hub, which has assisted thousands in permanently escaping the criminal legal system to lead productive lives. Arnall also serves on the Oklahoma County Jail Trust, leading efforts for a new state-of-the-art facility that meets the government’s responsibility for public safety while also providing necessary diversion and rehabilitation services. Ancillary to her work, she strives to educate the public on policies that contribute unjust treatment and trap disenfranchised individuals in a cycle of incarceration. https://www.arnallfamilyfoundation.org/ Huge thank you to our sponsors.

With roots in eastern and western Oklahoma, Bob Blackburn graduated from Southwestern State College with a degree in History before earning his Masters and Doctorate degrees in History from Oklahoma State University. At the time of his graduation from OSU in 1979 he already had published his first of 26 books and discovered the new field of historic preservation. That same year he began a career in public history as editor of The Chronicles of Oklahoma, the journal of the Oklahoma Historical Society. In 1989 he was named deputy director and a decade later became executive director. Under his leadership, with a widening circle of mentors, colleagues, and partners, Blackburn developed a new business plan for all Oklahoma Historical Society operations that included a combination of state investment, private donations, and self-supporting sustainability. Among his accomplishments are the Oklahoma History Center, the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum, the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center, the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture, the Battle of Washita Monument as part of the National Park Service, and the Gateway to Oklahoma History—a rapidly growing digital universe of newspapers, photographs, manuscripts, and documents accessible to everyone at no cost. Blackburn’s contributions have been honored by the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits, Leadership Oklahoma and Oklahoma City, Putnam City Schools, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, OSU, the Journalism Hall of Fame, and the Higher Education Hall of Fame, among countless others. He is married to educator and former state legislator Debbie Blackburn. Together they have one son, Beau, daughter-in-law Tori, and two grandsons, Bodhi and Waylon.

On this episode I chatted with Lacey and Hank alongside cohost Matt Randall. Lacey is an Okie through and through. She grew up in the small town of Kiefer. Always fascinated with the sky, lightning, hail, and, yes, tornadoes. Most of her life she knew what she wanted to do when she grew up. She wanted to be a meteorologist. Lacey attended the University of Oklahoma, interned under the legend Gary England. Lacey’s first job landed her in Sioux City, IA. After her time away, Lacey made it back to Oklahoma joining the News 9 weather team in 2011. Hank Brown attributes his passion for severe weather to his father who exposed him to it at an early age. One of Hank’s first memories is standing on the porch watching a tornado with his dad while the rest of the family was in the basement calling them crazy. Hank’s love of photography and severe weather brought him to NEWS 9 as a StormTracker in 1998. Since then he has traveled thousands of miles chasing tornadoes for Gary England and the NEWS 9 weather team. Hank has witnessed countless tornadoes including the May 3, 1999 tornado in his own neighborhood in Moore. Hank’s chase partner is his wife Patty. https://www.instagram.com/okstormchaser/ https://www.instagram.com/lswope/ Huge thank you to our sponsors.

On this episode I chatted with Roger owner of Dog Tired Guitars, custom guitar builder and creator of some of musics greatest guitar straps! "I've always had a passion for old things and the stories that are born from seeing life in all of its imperfections.  To me, there's nothing better than taking an old, neglected structure — something with a history that's barely remembered — and using it to create something that inspires someone to start telling their own stories.  I started Dog Tired as a way of bridging the old and the new — the forgotten stories with the narratives yet to be told.  There's always been a sense of "mojo" around electric guitars.  People who love them know that each one has its own feel and character, and nothing inspires you to create like a guitar you connect with.  Whether it's preserving the history of Oklahoma with a Heritage Series guitar or preserving your own personal history with an Heirloom Series, our goal is to build something beautiful, unique, and meaningful — something that inspires you to tell a story." https://dogtiredguitars.com/ www.instagram.com/dog_tired_guitars  Huge thank you to our sponsors.

On this episode I chatted with Master Photographer and artist Heather Beadles about her unique business. Heather started her journey to portraiture long before she picked up a camera. Being the fourth generation Oklahoman to grow up on her family’s 1889 Land Run Farm, family legacy is a integral part of her heritage. With a passion to encourage marriages and families, she studied Family Relations and Child Development at Oklahoma State University. After receiving a Master’s Degree in Counseling she went on to become a Licensed Professional Counselor. It was about that time that she was given her first “real” camera and the love of capturing faces and stories was born. For over 15 years Heather has been honing her artistic skills in composition, posing, lighting and color harmony. Over time her portraits have evolved from photographs into hand-painted portrait art. By blending the crafts of photography and brush painting, subjects are no longer stuck with an artist’s “interpretation” of how they look, and as a result her embellished mixed media portrait paintings have become highly desired by her clients. https://www.beadlesportraits.com/ Huge thank you to our sponsors.

On this episode I chatted with David about the wonderful celebration of Route 66. The story of the American West is, at its heart, a story about movement. Folks moving across a wide, wild stretch of land—different people, cultures, and communities all heading west for their own reasons. Over time, the push westward became less about wandering and more about building—building ways to get people and goods from here to there. And at the center of all that movement? The roads, rivers, rails, and trails that carved their way through this rugged land. We tell that story in our new exhibition: Route 66: From Trails to Truck Stops.
