Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve - Bartlesville,Oklahoma
It was Robert's Birthday and he wanted to go somewhere special. We left home and headed west into Kansas then went south to Oklahoma. We ended up at the Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve in Bartlesville, Ok. It is a special place that was created by Frank Phillips back in the 1920's. Frank Phillips was also in the oil business. You might know it as Phillips 66!
The museum is sat on 3700 acre wildlife preserve that is home to buffalo, deer, and zebras and also boasts a petting zoo. The 50,000 sq ft museum houses an array of plains Indian artifacts as well as many early settlement artifacts. You will find everything from moccasins to airplanes in this wonderful museum.
If you are in the area please go check it out. We spent 5 hours in the museum alone and we still felt like we didn't see everything. Another trip is already planned for a return visit in April of 2019!!!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Innovations at Phillips 66
Many people think of Phillips 66 as an oil and gas company, but it makes many other innovative products.
Phillips 66ers: From basketball court to corner office
Team building and goals are important to creating a high performing organization. At one time in our company, those concepts also helped create a championship basketball team: the Phillips 66ers.
From the 1920s through the '’60s, the Phillips Petroleum Company-owned team played in the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), which was the premier league before the National Basketball Association (NBA). The 66ers exemplified the honor and commitment we still value today.
Acclaimed as one of the best amateur basketball teams of all time, the 66ers:
• Won 11 AAU championships.
• Won two Olympic Trial championships.
• Had several players go on to play for U.S. Olympic and pro basketball teams.
• Produced 39 AAU All-Americans.
• Compiled an overall record of 1,543 wins, 271 losses during their history (1921-68).

Paul Endacott - 2009 Kansas Sports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
Paul Endacott posthumously enshrined into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame during the 2009 Induction ceremony. Presenting keynote speaker is Gary Bender, 2008 KSHOF inductee.
Called the greatest player I ever coached by the legendary Phog Allen, Paul Endacott helped start the unparalleled basketball tradition at the University of Kansas. Endacott was a two-time All-American for the Jayhawks and was named the national player of the year in 1923 by the Helms Athletic Foundation. A native of Lawrence, Endacott learned the game of basketball at the Lawrence YMCA by the inventor of the game, Dr. James Naismith. He was known for his tenacious defense and helped lead the Jayhawks to their first undefeated Missouri Valley Conference record, 16-0, in 1923 and played on two Helms Foundation national championship teams. Nearly 30 years later, Allen named Endacott to his all-time college basketball team in 1951. Following his collegiate career, he spent four years with the AAU Phillips Petroleum Company team, the Phillips 66 Oilers (1924-28) and went on the serve as president of Phillips Petroleum from 1951-67. In 1943, Endacott was named to the Helms Foundations All-Time All-American second team. In 1969, Endacott received the Sportsmens World Award for basketball for Performances and exemplary personal conduct which have stood the test of time. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1972 and the University of Kansas Athletic Hall of Fame in 1977. Endacott was named an all-state guard in 1919 for Lawrence High School. Born July 3, 1902 Lawrence, Kansas. Died January 8, 1997 Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Graduated Lawrence Memorial H.S., 1919; University of Kansas, 1923.

TRANSCRIPT: Let's begin with my parents. My father grew up in Arkansas during the great depression and that was sort of formative for him. They were very poor and he always worried a lot about money because of that. He was raised a lot by his grandmother because his mother was very young when she had him and his grandmother was very assertive. So I still remember his grandmother, nana, who was born in the 1800s kind of calling the shots.
And his mother was a twin. I called her Jane because we played a game called 'Me Tarzan, You Jane' and I insisted that she was Jane, I was Tarzan. And so for her whole like I called her Jane. And she was very different than my other grandmother who grew up in Oklahoma. So my other grandmother was a writer and she wrote bestsellers about women alone on the prairie, feeling very lonely and isolated, and she was quite progressive. She was one of the original members of the committee on racial equality back when that was a very suspect, sort of almost communist, thing in people's minds.
So people were sort of outraged and they did things like burn crosses on her lawn and she was married... Her husband, my grandfather, was an engineer. That's really where I came from. He was my only exposure to an engineer, he was the only engineer I knew. But he had a slide rule and he taught me how to use it. And he actually left me his slide rule, it's the oldest possession that I have. I've somehow managed to keep it through all moves and evacuations and things like that. But he was a petroleum engineer for the Philips Petroleum Company.
My grandmother was very literary, and it's funny listening to my... So they both ended up in this small town in Oklahoma, Bartlesville. And both ended up working for oil companies. But my father's mother was, I would say, more typical of the town in terms of her political views and so it's very interesting listening to her descriptions of my maternal grandmother. Of how liberal she was. She did things like have parties where people sat on pillows on the floor and ate sandwiches cut into triangles with the crusts cut off. And they're still talking about that in Bartlesville.
But she was definitely very active in the civil rights movement. And in fact when World War II happened she wrote a letter to the New York Times complaining about the internment of Japanese Americans in the concentration camps that the United States had and saying it was wrong. And for years and years she got hate mail from people who thought that she was pro Japanese and anti-American. And she always read it and she always tried to answer it, and for her, that was just her way.
And she was quite a good writer and she actually made money during the depression writing the little notes on the inside of greeting cards for Hallmark. They had a little poem or whatever that says Happy Birthday and I think she got paid 15c a piece for those. But that was a significant source of income for her. And at some point when one of her books became a bestseller, a book called Root out of Dry Ground. Her publisher flew her to Boston, and she got to go to Boston for the first time. And my mother loved Welsh poetry, but she'd only seen one book of it. And so my grandmother went to the Boston public library and copied down, by hand, volumes of Welsh poetry from the Boston public library to bring it back to my mother in Bartlesville.
So she was quite a remarkable woman. There's lots of stories about her and I've always thought I got a lot from her. Her grandmother had actually been one of the first women in America to get a PhD in mathematics. So I probably got my mathematical ability through that line.
Oklahoma Horizon TV Show 1506
This week on Oklahoma Horizon, we look at the history and the future of Oklahoma energy giant Phillips 66.
Birch Cove - Tulsa Area - Army Corp of Engineers Park
Birch Cove - Tulsa Area - Army Corps of Engineers Park
Birch Cove is an Army Corps of Engineers Park that the Two Tired Teachers found amazing. Despite none of the sites having water at the campsite, it is a gorgeous campground with water near each campsite.
Birch Cove is near Tulsa, OK; and not far from Bartlesville, OK. Off the beaten path attractions abound in the area. Two Tired Teachers visited Woolaroc, standing for woods, lake, and rock. It is a retreat that belonged to Frank Phillips, founder of Phillips 66 gas company.
In Pawhuska, the Two Tired Teachers saw the Mercantile Building where Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond offers some of her amazing cooking skills. When the Two Tired Teachers were there, the line waiting to get in was fairly long out the door.
The Two Tired Teachers also visited the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve. A herd of over 2,000 bison have are free to roam on this 15 mile area. A visitors center and small gift shop offering souvenirs is deep in the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve.
Camping in a corp of engineers park was easy because Oklahoma corp of engineers park was beautiful. It is a coe campground in Tulsa area. Camping at Birch Cove was a great experience.
