Blog mission


I did this blog for many reasons and the biggest reason is for me to share with you the experience of having been there through pictures and the stories behind them! Over the years I have collected some beautiful pieces of photography either given to me or some that I have ran across and try to look at these photo’s with a deferent perspective and you may wonder why? When the bombing of the Murrah Building happened it left and it took from every body so, to see the living art of another human being through the pain of another is yet unique and tragic on all the same page and to know your still here and that life does go on is a wonderful thing.

When I visit

I’ve decided that every time I visit the Okc Memorial which I do often I’ll do my normal routine which is leave a penny and fulfill a lifetime promise to so many people I know! I will also randomly pick out someone for a hug and a photo. I think it sounds pretty cool! I got the idea from a previous trip up from Dallas to Oklahoma City with my wife! she has this knack for me to tell my story which for the most part I do when people want to listen! But, this last time a little old lady from Iowa came up and grabbed me by the arm and ask me to walk with her! she was so tiny and sweet! Anyway, as we walked through the memorial she ask me (Do you know what happened here son?) I just smiled and said nothing and for once I listened.

But on the chance the Pendleton native had an express ticket to hell, he defiantly said he would be in the company of many generals and world leaders who murdered their opposition. As the first and only journalist to repeatedly interview McVeigh face to face, my job was to keep him talking. My colleague Dan Herbeck and I needed every scintilla of his thought process, no matter how outrageous, so that we could provide a window into the worst domestic terrorist in U.S. history. We were working on writing a book, “American Terrorist: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing.” Time was sh McVeigh had a date with the executioner. He had been convicted of delivering a homemade, 7,000-pound truck bomb that killed 168 innocent people and wounded  more than 800 in and around the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Buil
