The only thing I can think of is a portion of caution tape that cordoned off the Murrah building in 1995, about a foot in length, that I took from the extra on the short-side of the tie-off. Oh, and the newspapers from the day and those following.

My family has a couple of Centennial Farms that have commemoration signs, but I don't know if that counts.

I have a whole book of tickets to the Semi-centenial. But I also have a piece of our dark side. It is a Democratic Party pamphlet from Pittsburg County in the teens. It is extreemly racist and very embarrassing for the state, the party and the era. As they come to mind I will list others.

Would like to see the buttons and book. I have a cannon ball (that was the suprise for you I spoke of ) Mine are from the Vicksburg area. My second favorite place in the world to be. Also have musket leads. If you were shot with one of those even today they would not be able to save the limb...........

I, Too am a Civil War and History Buff. this guy's Dad told us that there was a Hospital set up about where his front yard was and it was nothing to get up in the morning and find half a dozen people out there digging in his yard. Years ago, I found that The Younger Boys (Bob & Cole etc.) were cousins of my Grandmother's and thatfascinated me tremendously. I was in Missouri not long ago and stopped at the James Farm and there were pictures of the Youngers.....Looked just like my Grandmother's family.....

I would be leery of that group. I have seen some of them. Kinda shady if you ask me, especially that gray haired man with glasses. Actually I went Saturday and they are a great group of people. Growing up in the Spencer/ MWC area they even let me come. Didn't know much about the folks they mentioned, but it was a plethora of information.

He gave them to my Grandfather who eventually gave them to Me. Yes, they are true McChesney Silver Inlaid Spurs. Lots of History in these things......Family Treasure.....
