Namron (Norman, OK) and Wiesenfeuer (OKC, OK)  had to explain the travel

time problem to a Steppes (Dallas) based Crown who wanted to know why we

weren't a single group.  They didn't grasp the idea that Oklahoma City
was 
larger than Dallas in land area (at the time OKC was the largest single
city 
in the world with 625 square miles inside the city limits) and didn't
have 
the freeway system that Dallas has.  At the time, it took me 45 minutes
to 
commute from the center of Norman to the center of Oklahoma City.  From
far 
Northwest OKC to the meeting in Norman took almost 90 minutes.
