2012 OREA STATE CONVENTION Friday, May 11, 2012 Marriott Oklahoma City Hotel and Conference Center 3233 Northwest Expressway Oklahoma City, OK 73112 CAPTAIN JACK PARKER... KEYNOTE SPEAKER A real, live farmer and rancher from Mountain View, Oklahoma (that's near Gotebo), Captain Jack Parker is wise in the ways of western America. He will share some of that wisdom with OREA members in attendance at this year's convention. In his own unique style, Captain jack will address a variety of topics, blending humor, history heritage and pride in just the right proportions. This includes small town etiquette, pool hall protocal, garage sale manners, country road waving and even some simple lessons in "farm talk" translation. A sturn' wheel, balin' waur and a jar of red dirt allow him to articulate and focus the "cultural spectrum" that lies between Boston and Gotebo.
