EDITORIAL
by JOE GOOCH
Once again, it’s that time of year! SUMMER! June! Middle of the year. I ask myself, Joe is the year half over or best half yet to come? They say time flies when you get older. Funny... I don’t feel any older. Instead I’ll say, time flies when I’m having fun! FORTUNATE is what I would call this old publisher. Fortunate to have a staff of two graphic artists, seven writers, several computer assistants, seven delivery crews, one amazing photographer, and my health. Thank you, Lord! Each month seems to get harder to finish and make deadlines. Well honestly, I may have
partied too much during May with my 1967 classmates, but what fun! Vacation time has arrived on The Corridor. Where can The Corridor take you this year? I say let’s go camping! Camping Along The Corridor features many stories and vacation “hot spots” for fun family times. So, you don’t have any vacation plans? After reading this June issue, make a list and choose several of The Corridor’s “hot spots”. And ask Dad where he would like to visit along The Corridor. Thank you for beginning your summer vacation with us!
Happy Father’s Day!

Hundreds ofThings to Do Along The Corridor.. 2017 SUMMER TRAVEL ISSUE by DONNIE SCHROEDER
Last summer I took my family on a vacation to see relatives in Montana. I went with my wife, mother-in-law and three sons, the youngest of which is four years old. We hadn’t taken a vacation since the birth of our twins. It was a 24-hour drive one way in a rented Tahoe and it was an exhausting trip. Compiling entries for this travel guide made me realize how much there is to do right here in our backyard that we rarely take advantage of. When we do get some free time, we often aren’t thinking about visiting local attractions, but pehaps we should. There are so many fun and interesting things to do here on The Corridor that I think we will just stay on The Corridor long before making another cross country trip. You may just be surprised at just how much there is to do in this area of Oklahoma this summer. Check it out!

CAMPING Along The Corridor by ROBBIE McCOMMAS
Unwind, disconnect, breathe in some fresh air and relax. The great outdoors is an adventure playground for families to explore together. Whether in a pup tent or an elaborate camper with amenities, stepping away from the responsibilities of home can revive adults and place lasting memories in the hearts of children. Setting a date, gathering supplies, packing, choosing a campground as a family can be part of the fun. Camping areas along the Corridor are numerous and are just a short drive away. Lake Arcadia, Bell Cow Lake, Stroud Lake and Keystone Lake can all accommodate in a fashion that’s right for your enjoyment. Keeping it simple is a good idea if your family is busy with a lot of other summer activities. Beginning with an overnight stay could be your ticket. Short and sweet, but fun filled including a little bike riding, a hike, some swimming, a cookout and a campfire with s’mores to top it off before lights out! For others, who are old camping pros and are equipped with the latest in camping gear, a long weekend or several days is a better fit. This family may choose a lake that offers entertainment as well or maybe they’ll bring their own ski boat, fishing boat, or paddle boats. Life is more fun with aunts, uncles and cousins to play with! Pick a weekend and enjoy some family togetherness. Let the kids run and play, swim, laugh and listen to the grown ups tell campfire stories! Childhood memories last a lifetime! LET’S GET ORGANIZED It’s okay if you don’t know the first thing about roughing it for a few days. Ask around, Google it, or find it on Pinterest. Yeah, Pinterest will make the least interested camping person eager to try it out! We can 24
THE CORRIDOR / JUNE 2017
do this! Make your own bug repellent, tent light, make shift air cooler, tin foil meals and dozens of camping hacks you can scroll for days on this subject! The ideas are endless and will really help you know how and what to pack. Don’t let yourself get overwhelmed. Keep it fun, stressing about camping is counter productive! But, being prepared is the key to success. UNWIND…AND HAVE FUN Take a book with you that you’ve been wanting to read. Find a shady, quiet spot and get enthralled. Or, maybe just taking a nap fits your bill. Free yourself to just enjoy. Go for a walk along the water’s edge. There’s always an early bird in the family. They’re the ones who watch the sun rise and the steam drift off the lake in the early morning hours while sipping coffee. They may be the first to the lake and cast their line. Or, if the family is lucky this person will start the campfire breakfast. They’ll catch the sight of nature awakening with the hustle of squirrels playing, deer moving about and birds singing. The aroma of bacon cooking can begin to stir the heaviest sleeper. There’s
nothing like a campfire breakfast! Night owl family members keep things interesting. They may stay up late stirring the campfire, laughing, telling stories or playing cards. They slip away for a midnight bike ride by the light of the moon, or play jokes on each other! he family with a ski boat takes time to teach the kids to master the rhythm of the waves. There’s nothing like a smile of satisfaction when the child stays aboard the skis for a whole trip around the quiet cove. The evening campfire with marshmallows and s’mores is fun for all! Campfires are known to relieve stress, promote relaxation and clear the mind, so what are your waiting for? MAKE YOUR PLANS Call ahead or research the campground online. Understand the rules, the fees, the hook up accommodations, what they offer and whether they accept reservations. A good website to research camping opportunities is travelok.com. Also look up each camp ground and read reviews of people who have recently stayed there. Keystone Lake has just opened Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Camp Park. The resort looks like a great place for families to have a blast. The facility boasts camping, Wibit Aqua Park, paddle boards, kayaks, swimming, activity pool, splash pool and slides. Information on this park can be found at keystonelakejp.com. You can also find this attraction on Facebook, or call n 918-865-2845.
Geese at Bell Cow Lake enjoy the campers.
Family of Laurie Ray, Wellston, find good fishing on Bell Cow Lake.
Billy McCarty and Clay Beal are a bit chilled after an early morning swim. Laurie Ray and son, Noah, Wellston, are on the trail headed for the dock on Bell Cow Lake.
So, unwind, disconnect, breathe in some fresh air and relax. The great outdoors is an adventure playground for families to explore together.

=Honoring our Dad, Randy Seaton and daughter, Jennafer Seaton: He’s an absolutely amazing man who has bent over backwards for my mom and us kids. He works his tail off to make sure we have what we need and want and he is always there when we need him. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone through things I didn’t think I would make it through that he was right there with me every step of the way helping me in any way he could and crying right there with me.
Dad Randy Brown and daughter Kamber Brown: My daddy, who has helpmed me get to the place I am today, has always supported our family even when it came to quiting his job and starting his own business to give us a better life. He is someone who would willingly give his shirt off his back if need be. I’m so proud to call him my dad and not just becauseof what he has done for me but also for our country as a USA Marine Veteran who spent time in the Gulf protecting our country.

GRANDPA JACK FICK SR. and GRANDDAUGHTER BRANDI WILLIAMS: My grandpa was the most honest, hardworking man I knew. He also loved to joke around! He would give someone his last $10 bill if they needed it. He was special to me. This picture from my wedding was one of his last outings before he passed away. Jack’s daughters, Marsha Laxton and Teresa Allen, also commented this about their father. He taught us how to be a hard worker. I, Marsha, started out driving at 5 years old driving in a hay field. I loved my daddy so much I always wanted to be with him in the fields. He taught me how to work hard for what I wanted, but most of all he taught me how to love people. He enjoyed watching me play basketball as I grow up I can still hear his voice in the stands cheering me on. I miss him still today.

THE CORRIDOR / JUNE 2017 33
All Hung Up on Route 66 by DONNIE SCHROEDER
The City of Sapulpa’s Downtown, like the Downtowns of many other cities in Oklahoma, is experiencing a recent revitalization. In Sapulpa, at the crossroads of that revitalization, just south of Main on Dewey rests a small art studio where two women are doing the things they love to do together. These two friends opened J2 Studio last June combining their talents. When interviewed by the local newspaper, Jan and Jo Beth were called the ‘spunky duo,’ which they have embraced. Jo Beth Force is the talented sketch artist, painter, and art instructor. Jan Marie Duke is her best friend, and her passion is photography and pushing Jo Beth to explore areas of drawing and painting outside of her typical comfort zone. J2 Studio is a place where the two friends can create art whenever they feel the inspiration to do so, as well as it gives them a place to enjoy each other’s company and the inter-
esting guests that visit their studio. Their Route 66 T-shirts and postcards bring both locals and people from many places outside of the city of Sapulpa into their studio. When Jan and Jo Beth began kicking around the idea of focusing their talents to create art that celebrated the history of one of America’s most famous roads, the general thought of their friends and family was, “You’re crazy!” The women that make up J2 Studio may be a bit crazy, but it is all in fun. Yet, just as Downtown Sapulpa is enjoying a rebirth, so is America’s love affair with this historic highway that extends from the California coast to Chicago, IL. The beauty of Route 66 is that it brings those that travel it directly into the heart of the hundreds of towns along the way. Each town is interesting in its own way and each has a history and a story to tell. Unlike the Interstate Highways that are designed for travelers to get from major cities to other major cities
quickly, Route 66 is not just a way to get from point A to point B, rather it gives travelers a taste of each of those communities along the way. In turn, those that travel it spend some of their hard earned money in those communities and both travelers and communities benefit from the trip. Jan and Jo Beth, like many others across our country, have a deep appreciation for this history and have worked hard over the last year creating new designs for the T-shirts that Jo Beth draws by hand. As Jo Beth puts it, “There is no computerization in the making of our T-shirts.” She draws the designs and the lettering; then they take it to their printer, who sizes it and burns a screen to mass produce T-shirts with the design. J2 Studios’ Route 66 T-shirts are only available in Sapulpa. They are sold at the studio or at Little Bit of Country just a block east of J2 Studio, which is located at 124 E. Dewey. Since its’ opening, J2 Studio has had visitors from most U.S. states and even visitors from Europe who have an appreciation for the history of Route 66. Jan and Jo Beth particularly love it when biker groups come through. One of their Route 66 T-shirts has become a traveling T-shirt, having made it from Maine to Florida with people signing it all along the way. Neither Jan nor Jo Beth are originally from Sapulpa. Jan was born in New York and spent much of her teenage years in New Jersey, while Jo Beth grew up in California. Jan married an Oklahoma boy and the two moved to Oklahoma early in their marriage. New York was a culture shock to him, while Jan admits Oklahoma was a culture shock to her at first, and called herself ‘a misplaced Yankee.’ Jo Beth was born in Oklahoma, She moved to Puerto

This is when she says she spends a couple of hours in the bathtub with some soft classical music and a book. That usually does the trick to re-energize her so she can get back to being herself. In Jo Beth’s words, “I have M.S., but it doesn’t have me.” She explains that she is blessed, having a long period of good health, with very few days of poor mobility or speech. When Jan brought up the idea of the two of them opening a studio, Jo Beth was very excited. Jan Duke doesn’t herself an artist. Though she does really enjoy Jo Beth’s instruction in drawing and painting and especially pastels.

ALONG THE CORRIDOR
MIX HAWK
by RICK REILEY
The Russian Outlaw/Country Gospel Voice Along the Corridor
I first met Mix Hawk last year when mutual friends, Dwayne and Renee Burns introduced us. The Burns had met Mix and his wife Natalie, at church. Mix and his wife currently live in Pawnee. Being relatively new to the area he was looking for other like minded musicians to share a few tunes. We’ve been in regular contact since then and have grown accustomed to his big voice. It’s a welcome mix to the flavors of song that thrive in this part of the country. Mix Hawk was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. (It was known as Leningrad at the time and Mix adds that he ‘hates that name’. A name that referred to the long dead Russian dictator, Vladimir Lenin.) His parents were in show business and he grew up in the show business atmosphere making his first professional stage appearance at the age of 5. His mother was an actress and singer. His father is a professional actor and his grandfather was
a ‘big deal’, as he puts it, in the Soviet circus. Being raised in the crowds and shadows of crowds perhaps explains his relative ease when performing. Because of his family profession he’s appeared in short roles in drama, movies, parodies and song. When he was 14 he formed a not so serious rock and roll band. Then at 17 he joined another band, ‘Finestreet’, which he tells me became a legend in Russian Country music. When he turned 19 he formed another band, ‘Blind Mix Band’. His performances with both of those band afforded him the opportunity of appearing on Russian television as well as stadium performances. He says his first real experience with American music was when he was able to attend a John Denver concert in Russia at the age of 12. He says he was ‘blessed’ to witness this performance and his outlook on music was changed forever. Also at the age of 12 he discovered a Charlies Daniels Volunteer Jam 3 &4 double album. He says finding out about this sort of music was very difficult at the time because it was ‘almost illegal’ in Russia. Which made the search even more intriguing. He was forced to study music before he could talk. Though from my perspective, he seems so natu-
ral at it I can’t believe it took much force. After hearing Charlie Daniels’ music and experiencing a John Denver concert he still remained under the influence of the Beatles, Rolling Stones and other rock bands. But he began dreaming about singing country music. It was all but impossible since no one at the time played country music in Russia. He claims to be the first in his city of 6 million to start wearing a cowboy hat and dress like Willie Nelson (long live Willie!) (He also gives a nod of the head to the music of Paul Overstreet. He tells me he has placed
him in own private inner music Hall of Fame. (Which will lead me to refamiliarize myself with Paul Overstreet at some point in the very near future!) After the collapse of the Soviet Union, bit by bit, American music began to creep further into the city soundscape. In addition to being a musician, somewhere along the way he found his way to becoming an ordained Christian minister. He and his wife had been living in Crimea, Ukraine the last few years where he served as pastor to two churches. In his words, ‘When Putin
started war and occupied Crimea, I was included on the ‘arrest list’ so we had to flee.’ They came to Minnesota for a religious conference, not intending on staying, but have been in the US since. They’ve been in Oklahoma since 2014. He recorded an album in Russia in 1996 and as he says, ‘It’s almost impossible to record a good country sound in Russia. There’s no people who know how to make it.’ He plays bass, double bass, guitar, slide guitar, Dobro, piano, mandolin, harmonica, clarinet and saxophone. Being a minister, his ministry
Mix Hawk with country music legend, Charlie Daniels.
is his #1 priority. He loves singing and playing but his tells me his future depends on his ministry. He says that after turning 45 in May, he has no illusions about beginning a new professional career in show business in this part of the world. As he puts it, ‘So we’ll see. How the Lord’s gonna lead.’ He has a booming voice that can bounce across the room and back again never losing it’s momentum along the way. He plays mostly old familiar, country/gospel songs but has a few he’s written that are as good as anything I’ve heard in a long time. He’s also fine instrumentalist who pays close attention to detail in recreating the sound of the original recordings you’re familiar with. I have always said that I truly believe music can change the world, one heart at a time. It can help heal and unite. I know others who think that idea is a silly one and they’re welcome to their opinions. But recently, something about hearing a Russian born voice singing American country, roots and gospel music with honesty, passion and authority, gives me hope. And I’ll always take hope where I find it. Find out more about Mix Hawk’s music and give it a listen by following this link: https://www. reverbnation.com/mixhawk

Delilah’s “Oh, holy crow,” Dooby exclaimed as he sat at the desk in the living room at the Royal Flush Ranch. He had been there all day, immersed in.....
.....the search history he and Eli had down loaded onto a thumb drive from Blaize’s computer. It was late. Delilah and Joel were already upstairs preparing for bed. Eli was securing the barn and all the out buildings. “This can’t be right,” Dooby said defiantly. He typed some more, read some more. “This has to be wrong.” Eli sauntered into the room. “Find anything yet?” he asked. Dooby looked up at Eli with a troubled expression. “You are not going to believe this,” he said. “Pull up a chair.” Eli procured a chair from the dining room, while Dooby placed a quick call to Karon. With each click of the mouse Eli’s brow furrowed more. After thirty minutes, Eli leaned back in his chair and vigorously rubbed the whiskers on his chin. He leaned forward and put his head in his hands. “We got played,” Dooby said, with a mirthless chuckle. “She lied!” Eli said incredulously. “I thought you knew all her secrets.” “Looks like I missed one,” Dooby admitted. “And, looks like no one verified the story she told us.” “Except for Blaize,” Eli said, with a sigh. “What now?” “I have no idea. Let’s start by documenting everything you’ve found.” “Eli, is there any way this could’ve been fabricated?” “What do you mean?” “I mean, could this information have been planted to throw suspicion away from the real Mrs. Wrigley?” “I suppose it’s possible. We need to verify all of this.” “Outside sources.” “Precisely. Can you get your people to check?” “I’ll call them first thing in the morning. Do you still think there’s a mole in your agency?” “I think it’s wise to operate under the assumption there is.” “Agreed.” “I don’t think Delilah should be told about 42 THE CORRIDOR / JUNE 2017
DILEMMAS by
DIANE BROWN this. At least not right now.” “Agreed,” Dooby said again, with an exasperated sigh. “Has she been sleeping?” Eli shook his head. “I hear her tossing and turning all night. Just like she did after the Herbert fiasco.” Herbert had been Nettie Mae’s attorney, and then Delilah’s attorney. In an effort to gain ownership of the ranch, the geeky, unassuming, little man had tried killing Delilah just a few months after she’d arrived on the ranch. Herbert now called the McAlester State Penitentiary home. While Eli and Dooby sat in the living room discussing their findings, Delilah had silently cried herself to sleep. She had felt it coming on for two days, and had held the tears at bay. But it finally caught up to her. The guilt, the sorrow, and the fear simply took possession of her in the quiet darkness. It began with Blaize. Even though she believed Blaize had come to her in a dream, or whatever it was, and told Delilah not to mourn her death, but to be happy, Delilah couldn’t help but feel that Blaize would still be alive if she, Delilah, hadn’t needed protection. The guilt was overwhelming. Yet another death by association. Delilah thought about Marietta. Poor thing. She had some hard decisions to make, and Delilah’s heart ached for her. She cried because she missed Aunt Nettie. She grieved the loss of five husbands. Grief turned to fear; fear that her life might still be in danger. And then the big one, fear that Eli might come to the same sad and violent end as her five husbands and Blaize. And it would be her fault. Unless she did something about it, like move back to Georgia. She just didn’t know if she had the strength to do that. One more thing to cry about. At last, all cried out, she finally
dozed off into fitful, restless sleep. Shortly after 2:00 AM, a tremendous clap of thunder jolted Delilah to consciousness. She screamed as she sat up. Seconds later, Eli rushed through her bedroom door; his silhouette softly illuminated from behind by the night light in the bathroom. “What was that?” Delilah said, panting and searching the room for the source of the sound. A flash of lightning and a clap of thunder answered her question. “I’m okay,” Delilah said, as Eli sat on the edge of her bed. She let out a half-chuckle. “Whew. That was intense.” She continued to laugh nervously. “I guess I’ll be a little jumpy for a while.” Eli gently rubbed her arm. “You want me to stay with you?” he asked sweetly. The truth was, part of her did want him to stay. But another part of her wanted some distance between them. She felt unbalanced, uncertain of her path. “Not tonight,” she said, her eyes averting his. “Not with Joel just down the hall.” There was another flash of lightning and another clap of thunder. Delilah jumped, and then her eyes locked with Eli’s. He smiled sympathetically, and Delilah knew her excuse hadn’t fooled him. Eli nodded. “Alright,” he said. He kissed her, sweetly, slowly. “I love you,” he whispered. Delilah nodded. She could feel the sting of tears collecting in her eyes. “Of that, I’m certain,” Delilah choked. Simultaneously she felt comforted and concerned. “I love you, too,” she added, with a hint of desperation. “So much that . . .”
She stopped. She couldn’t say it. She couldn’t tell him, that for his own good, they needed to part company. Eli took Delilah’s face between his hands. He shook his head, and then placed his forehead against hers. “No,” he said, as though he’d read her mind. A few hours later, shortly after dawn, Delilah sluggishly awoke. For the first time in a long, long time, she didn’t want to get out of bed. A light rain was falling outside. The house was a cool 68 degrees, and her bed was warm and toasty. She considered going back to sleep. But, that fantasy was short lived, and she clambered out of bed. With her left arm still in a sling, dressing was, at the very least, challenging, and it took twice as long as usual. She pulled on a pair of gray sweat pants, and a white frontbutton blouse, over her one and only bra that clasped in the front. She slid her feet into house slippers, and ventured downstairs, where she found Eli in the living room, fixated on his lap top. “What are you doing?” Delilah asked. “You should’ve slept in, Babe,” Eli said, glancing at Delilah, and then taking a second look. He grinned seductively. “I could’ve helped you dress, you know. I mean, the kid’s still asleep.” Delilah couldn’t help but smile. She gave her head a little shake, and went to the kitchen. At breakfast, Delilah, Eli, Gus, Marietta, Joel, and Bufford sat at the dining room table. Hannah had slept in, and Dooby hadn’t arrived from town yet. “So, how’s your brother?” Eli asked Buford. “He’s fine,” Buford replied, slathering an excess of butter on his toast. “He’s spending a lot more time on the golf course. Sort of semi-retirement.”

“Family well?” Eli asked. “Yeah,” Buford said. “You know he and Jean have the grand-kids?” “I didn’t know,” Eli said. “Abigail’s been traveling,” Buford said with a disappointed sigh. Delilah’s head snapped up. “I thought she was on the prowl for another rich husband?” Delilah asked. “And when she was here over the summer she indicated that Uncle Gene was bank rolling her.” “Well, I think he’s been helping her some, Sugar,” Bufford said. “But, evidently she was smart enough to hide some money away so her no account husband couldn’t get his greedy little hands on.” “I’ll bet she did,” Delilah said under her breath. She shot a furtive glance at Eli. She caught a passing look on his face, in his eyes, that said there was more to it than she or anyone else knew. Delilah’s heart sank, and her mind went into overdrive. About that time, Dooby sauntered through the back door. Moments later he joined the others in the dining room, and a silent, secret exchange occurred between him and Eli. Delilah felt that tingle in here belly again. She had to get to the bottom it. But she couldn’t interrogate Dooby and Eli at that moment. Once breakfast had been devoured, Marietta cleared the table with restricted help from Delilah, and the two cleaned the kitchen. The men went to the barn, and around 9:00, Hannah came into the house from the garage apartment. Marietta prepared Hannah toast and coffee, and set her
a single place at the dining room table because she wanted to “talk to Delilah privately,” and she didn’t want to be “distracted by the noise of Marietta’s chores in the kitchen.” Delilah joined her mother in the dining room with some reservations. “Are you happy?’ Hannah asked Delilah, sincerely. Delilah was utterly gob smacked. She couldn’t remember her mother ever asking her that question. As far as she knew, Hannah had never deemed her happiness a matter to consider. She paused a moment thinking about a dog; the kind of dog that comes up to you, all friendly like, with a wagging tail, inviting you to pet them. And then, as soon as you proffer your hand to them, they bite. As shocked as Delilah was, she was even more cautious. She certainly would not give her mother the slightest indication that she had been harboring any doubts concerning her current situation. “Yes,” Delilah replied, with a slight air of defiance. “I’m very happy.” “And Eli?” Hannah prodded with kindness. “How are things with Eli?” Uh huh! Delilah thought. The dog is wagging its tail. “Great,” she replied. “Eli’s very good to me. He loves me, and I love him.” “So, you’ll be getting married soon,” Hannah stated firmly, but still with a tender tone. Here we go. Delilah thought. The dog has just invited me to pet it. “Well, actually,” she proceeded with caution. She knew what she wanted to say to her mother, because given her mother’s history, and viewpoint on the subject, she

could anticipate the direction her mother was going with the inquiry. And Delilah had been rehearsing her response for weeks. “We’re not going to rush into anything right now,” Delilah said confidently. “I don’t want to make the same mistake I made with my last four marriages. I allowed the pressure of family and society’s conventional expectations determine the length of my courtships, and honestly, I feel like relinquishing that to others was detrimental to those marriages.” Hannah blinked rapidly. The dog began to growl. “I just don’t understand how you can take that stance. I thought I raised you differently.” Delilah laughed. “Ah, but you seem to forget that Buford Beauregard raised me, too.” Hannah let out a long, exasperated sigh, and rolled her eyes. “Believe me,” she said, the tone of her voice registering a little less friendly. “I’m reminded of that fact so often I couldn’t possibly forget it.” If Delilah had had any thoughts of moving back to Georgia, they were now completely erased from all contemplation. Without knowing it, Hannah had successfully insured that her only daughter would be living in Oklahoma for a long time. “I know you object to Eli and me living under the same roof, without a marriage contract,” Delilah said. “But what’s most important is that we genuinely love each other. And we work at o u r re l a ti o n sh ip t h e s ame as a n y c o u p le w i t h a license.” “It’s just that if you’re married,” Hannah argued. “You would be financially protected.” Delilah laughed, almost maniacally. “Of course,” she
said. “You had little use for Eli until you found out he had money. Mother, I pray the day will come when you finally accept that you and I have different priorities. I would love to have conversations with you that didn’t end in a quarrel. I’m not you, Mom. I don’t want to be you.” “Oh, for the love of Pete,” Hannah exclaimed. Just then, Marietta entered the room with a pot of fresh coffee, and topped off Hannah’s cup. She reminded Delilah that it was dusting and vacuuming day, and she would start in Dooby’s apartment, which, at present, was Buford and Hannah’s apartment. Without a look or word one, Hannah waved Marietta away with the back of her hand. Delilah gazed at her mother in horror, as she thanked Marietta. Hannah leaned toward Delilah. “Delilah,” she whispered, seriously. “I really don’t think you should have that kind of person working for you.” “Oh, Mother,” Delilah said with a dispirited sigh. She shook her head. “You have no idea what KIND of person Marietta is. You know nothing of her history, nothing about her misfortunes, and nothing about her nature. I’m not going to discuss this with you. With all due respect, it’s none of your business.” With that, Delilah rose from the table and made her way out the back door, leaving Hannah sitting alone in the dining room. Delilah joined the guys at the barn. She was bent on cornering Eli or Dooby, or both, in order to extract an explanation for their odd behavior. She strongly suspected that their secret had something to do with Abigail. She wondered if they suspected Abigail of shooting her. Abigail was indisputably capable of attempted murder, but she was more likely

They had reached the house, and were met at the back door by Hannah, who informed her husband that she would be in the apartment until supper, and since her daughter was so displeased with her, they may want to dine in town. Delilah smiled, shook her head, and went in the house. Delilah made her way to the living room, where she found Eli, once again, glued to his computer. With hands on hips, she demanded to know what was going on. “I’d rather not say, just yet,” Eli offered, closing the laptop and pushing away from the desk. “Because?” Delilah prodded. “Because we need to verify our findings,” Eli said. “By we, you mean?” Delilah said. “Him and me,” Dooby said from the doorway. Delilah jumped, not realizing Dooby had been there. “I just talked to my connection,” Dooby continued, as he stepped into the room. “They’ve verified everything we’ve already sent them.” Dooby locked eyes with Delilah. “Looks like Abigail is Mrs. Wrigley,” he said.n
Does that mean Abigail was the shooter? Does Abigail have an accomplice? Can Delilah turn in her own cousin? These and other tantalizing answers await in the July installment of Delilah’s Dilemmas in the Corridor Magazine.

to hire someone to pull the trigger, than to do it herself. Maybe that’s what Eli and Dooby had discovered. Or perhaps, they had unearthed some sort of conspiracy involving the money Abigail had rat holed. The later in the day it got, the crazier the speculation. And in the end, it was neither Dooby nor Eli that was cornered, but Delilah. It was Buford’s turn to have a talk with Delilah. And, although this conversation would be far less painful than the conversation she had had with Hannah, Delilah was anxious to talk to Dooby and Eli “How’s your finances?” Buford asked, as the two of them walked alone, back to the house. “I’m fine, Daddy,” she replied. “The rent money I get from my condo in Macon covers the utilities, and what little is left over goes in an account for household repairs.” “Your utilities run that much?” Buford asked incredulously. “Well, there’s three meters, Daddy,” she replied. The house, the apartment, and Gus’s trailer. Then there’s propane, and two landlines, three Dishes, and internet.” Buford looked concerned. “Dooby helps with groceries, and little odds and ends,” Delilah continued. “And of course, he doesn’t take ANY salary. And, the stud fees from Henry’s Last Hoorah are keeping the ranching operation in the black.” Buford nodded his approbation. Buford was a very wealthy man. He owned one of the oldest and largest plantations in Georgia. Old family, old money. When Delilah was a child she had wanted for nothing. But as an adult, determined to make her own way, she had always refused any financial assistance offered by her parents; a source of pride for Buford, and irritation for Hannah.

Summer Camps & Missions
Where can an adult go to find adventure, fun, games, good food, and inspiration without spending a fortune? Don’t tell anybody this wellguarded secret, but she or he might consider spending her or his vacation volunteering at a church/mission camp! Right now your church, synagogue or mosque may be looking for adults to serve as counselors/chaperons for summer youth camps and mission trips. I have had some experience with this: over 125 church camps, retreats or mission trips over the past 40 years. Although these events leave me exhausted, they also never fail to bring me refreshment and renewal. Looking for an adventure vacation? Church camp often includes high ropes courses, canoeing, swimming, sailing, archery, hiking and zip lines! One camp at which I counseled has giant inflatable toys on the lake. Another camp where I counsel even offers go cart racing! But none of that fun begins to compare with the spiritual adventure participants enjoy at camp in small group Bible study, creative worship, prayer labyrinths, singing spiritual music and campfire devotions. And what is especially surprising, for most adult volunteers

who mentor kids at camp there is no registration fee! Can you imagine? This grand adventure for free? What a vacation deal! Some folks will say a person would have to be “crazy” to spend a week at camp with young people, but truly camp is a blast and pays high dividends in personal and spiritual satisfaction. There’s nothing quite as exciting as mentoring and hanging out with young people! Getting to know today’s youth is the real adventure and it encourages one to have faith in the next generation. One learns that kids are people too; they care deeply about God’s world and God’s people. I go to camp as a spiritual guide to lead kids in Bible study and personal reflection. How exciting to watch teenagers grow more fully in love with God! It is amazing to me to have been given the opportunity to coach youth in spiritual disciplines and watch them delight in new ways to commune with God’s Spirit. Some may think that serving as a counselor at summer camp is an activity best left to young adults. Although I have to admit that, at age 61, I am usually the oldest person at church camp, adults of all ages

can make significant contributions to camp. When I used to direct Junior Camps in the Laurel highlands of Pennsylvania, one of my best counselors was an octogenarian who always came to camp wearing a hat that he had woven himself from dried reeds. The kids loved him and loved taking turns wearing his hat. Grandmas and grandpas are just as welcome on camp staff as young millennials who can run and play with the youngsters. Every time I go to camp with youth from my congregation, I meet with other volunteers who have joined the adventure to mentor kids at camp. We have become a community of folks who are God’s friends who love kids. We have an awesome time together. This summer I will spend a week with middle school youth at Oakridge Camp near Anadarko, a weekend with 2nd and 3rd graders at Central Christian Camp near Guthrie, and a week with high school and middle school teens doing mission work in Stillwater. What an adventure vacation! (Don’t tell the folks at my church; they may get the idea that I don’t need my regular vacation. They already say I only work one hour per week on Sunday morning!)
