Attention Will Rogers alumni! Enjoy a unique multi-year calendar with interesting
background on the construction, the art deco architecture, the scores of photographs
and paintings, a 70 year timeline, and its recognition on the National Register
of Historic Places.
Enjoy a nostalgic visit in Tulsa's great olde movie palaces with pictures and
stories, and read about the Tulsans who have a connection with the silver screen.
Reminisce about a by-gone era.....an era before DVDs, video, and special effects;
before disaster movies; before G, PG, R, and X; even before cinemascope. Going
to the movies before 1960 was unlike any other experience. Downtown Tulsa was
alive with theastre goers, late-night snackers, and window shoppers.
Going to the movies back then wasn't just about the movie. It was a dress-up
time. Dinner before or a snack afterward often included Bishop's, Nelson's, Ike's
Chili, the Coney I-Lander or the Zig-Zag restaurant. On the way home in your
'57 Chevy or Ford V-8 it could be a stop at Pennington's, Burt's or Frank's Pig
Stand.
Grab a coke, a bag of popcorn, some Milk Duds and sit back and enjoy yet
another great nostalgic calendar about Tulsa.
Legendary players. Legendary coaches. All Americans on the field and successes off
the field. A century-old sports program built on spirit and heart to create TU sports
traditions.
And, they're all included in a tribute to one of the smallest, yet successful universities
in Division I college sports.
Stories, facts and vintage photographs are written and designed to keep the TU fan
interested for hours. This timeless keepsake, although outdated, is unmatched in
college sports circles.
Glenn Dobbs, Ivan Grove, Nancy Lopez, Howard Twilley, Steve Largent, Paul Pressey,

If you like Tulsa, you'll love the most unique calendar ever produced on the city
-- Tulsa 2000 - One Last Look at the 20th Century. Tulsa 2000 will appeal to any
current or former Tulsan. Although it is for the year 2000, it contains more than
400 historical facts and 25 nostalgic photographs, some appearing in print for the
first time.
There is also a section where distinguished Tulsans answered the question, "What
was the most significant event in Tulsa in the 20th Century?" Answers were
provided by such notables as Michael Wallis, Dr. Ben Henneke, Chester Cadieux, Ray
and Robin Siegfried, Sharon King Davis, Bob Hower, Gordona Duca, Nancy Feldman,
Betty Boyd and .....even Will Rogers.
Among the featured photos are a blacksmith and tire shop in 1907, Abdo's Pharmacy
in 1924, Main Street at 4th at Christmas time about 1940, Trinity Episcopal Church
in 1926, an American Airlines Convair 240 in 1953, and a Huckleberry Fenn look alike
contest in front of the Majestic Theater in 1960.
The facts cover the first buildings, the first churches, the hottest and coldest
days, the greatest snow and rainfall, two Indy winners, a Derby champion, a Miss
America and hundreds more.
All together they capture the heart, the growth and the spirit of a great city,.....now
more than a century old.
