I was there from 1948 to 1953 while my dad was getting his BSME at OU,
and moved back in 1970 when I got out of the USAF. I remember the BOQ
at NAS Norman burning down, but can't put a date to it: I would have 
been under 7 then, and probably closer to 4. 

I'm still there, and probably won't go anywhere else, as I can't 
afford to move all the books and boatanchors. 

I suppose I'm not particularly an old-timer: I got my ticket in 1962, 
and I'm only 61. Call me a Young Fogey, then.
