Oklahoma Pattern (was Any pattern flying near NE Arkansas?)

[Dan Curtis]

Brian,

Tulsa had some nice contest back in the 70's.  The Springfield bunch came
down in force every year.  It would be nice to get Tulsa back on the circuit
again.  Finding a date could be a bit of a hassle but could be done.
