Nancy was born in Omaha, Nebraska and raised on a farm near Beemer, Nebraska. She graduated from the University of Nebraska School of Medical Technology. She married Joe McDonald when he was a senior in medical school. They worked with the Air Force in medical fields for 10 years and settled in Tulsa in 1966 where Joe continued his medical practice. While facing a great deal of pushback, In the early 1970’s , Nancy became one of the leaders of the successful effort to voluntarily integrate the Tulsa Public Schools. She was further involved in the public sphere as head of the Girl Scout Council when 3 girls were murdered at Camp Scott in 1977. She became involved with the Tulsa Boy’s Home where Joe and Nancy soon helped raise the first Afro-American boy admitted to the home. They helped him through school and as a star player on the University of Tulsa Basketball team. Joe and Nancy became involved in the Tulsa LGBT scene as one of their daughters came out in 1986. At that time, Nancy had recently learned of PFLAG and set about creating a Tulsa chapter. Soon after, she became aware of Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights and its work addressing the AIDS crisis. With Joe’s support, she developed a very effective chapter and served as national president of PFLAG and also served on the board of TOHR. She testified before the U.S. Congress against the Defense of Marriage Act. She arranged for pride month displays at the downtown Tulsa City- County Library and led so many other efforts to improve education, children’s welfare, LGBTQ+ acceptance and the work to support open and affirming churches as noted in the interview.

Text Any textual data included in the document <h1 class="print-name">Rex Ball</h1> <p class="print-obituary obituary-plain-text">Rex Martin Ball was born June 14th, 1934 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the son of Ralph Martin and Sarah Mae (Kellner) Ball. Rex, an internationally known architect, urban designer, and champion of historic preservation efforts is also remembered as a beloved mentor and staunch human rights advocate, who was as intent on improving the lives around him as he was on improving society.<br /><br />A memorial service is set for 11 a.m. Friday at the Boston Avenue United Methodist Church. A visitation is planned from 5 to 7 p.m. at Ninde Brookside Funeral Home.<br /><br />Rex, graduated at the age of 16 valedictorian of his class at Kemper Military School. He then attended Oklahoma State University obtaining his Bachelor's Degree in architecture. His education continued at MIT where he obtained a Master of Architecture degree. He served two terms on the University of Oklahoma's Board of Visitors for the College of Architecture (regional and city planning, landscape architecture, construction management). His artwork is in the permanent collections of his alma maters, OSU and MIT.<br /><br />Rex was married to Margie Crowley Ball in 1960, with whom he shared many good times, many laughs, and four wonderful daughters. The couple began their married life in Oklahoma City where he began his career following in his father's footsteps at HTB, Inc. an international architecture-engineering-planning firm. They then moved to Tulsa where he founded the Tulsa branch in 1962. In 1976 Rex became a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, one of the youngest up to that time to have earned the Institute's highest honor. Marge and Rex's union ended in 1983, but they remained close friends until his death. Rex met Stephen Edwards in Oklahoma City in 1984. The same day they formed an inexplicable connection, a beautiful relationship that has endured for 26 years. Their connection was so complete that they finished each other's sentences and heard each other's thoughts. Through their bond, Rex gained a 5th wonderful daughter. Rex and Stephen have traveled the world sharing their love of architecture, interior design, and their zest for life. On the 24th day of October 2008 they were finally able to legally marry in Palm Springs.<br /><br />Mr. Ball has uniquely served as President of the local AIA Chapters in both Tulsa and Oklahoma City, as well as the State Council. He is a registered planner by the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP). He has served on the Board of Directors of both Tulsa and Oklahoma City Chambers of Commerce.<br /><br />Within the U.S. Mr. Ball has involved himself directly in a number of award-winning designs which utilized the public/private partnership concept: the National Press Building in Washington, D.C. with the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation, One Bell Central in Oklahoma City, the ingenious Mid-Continent Tower in Tulsa, and the Tulsa Community College conversion of the Sinclair Building and Central High School Shops. All of these illustratively incorporate the design values of accessibility and people-orientation that are Ball's trademarks. Mr. Ball's intense interest in our Nation's urban areas found expression through personal participation on committees in Tulsa and on similar committees within the National Trust for Historic Preservation/Preservation Oklahoma, the American Consulting Engineers council, the U.S. Jaycees, The American Institute of Architects (AIA) national component and local chapters, and the Society of American Military Engineers of which he was a sustaining member. In 1994, Ball was appointed by President Clinton to serve on the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts. He had also chaired the White house Small Business Conference's Federal Procurement Task Force, in addition to being listed in Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the World. In 1994, after 37 years of professional practice, he became Chairman Emeritus of HTB, Inc. HTB has since been purchased by Dewberry Design, Inc.<br /><br />Right up to his death, Mr. Ball was in popular demand as a speaker, panelist, and author. Consistently honored by his peers during his 12-year tenure as CEO of HTB, the firm received over 50 awards nationally and locally. His honors include the Governor's Business in the Arts Award, the Curt Schwartz Business in the Arts Award, and the Gannet Foundation's Five Who Care Humanitarian Award for long-standing commitment to economic development, education, cultural enrichment as well as efforts to help the handicapped and the needy. In November 1995, OSU singled him out for its Distinguished Alumnus Award for significant service plus personal and professional achievements. In recent years, he has focused his attention on Tulsa's magnificent collection of Art Deco buildings by chairing the 6th World Congress on Art Deco; was chair of the International Coalition of Art Deco Societies; former president of the Tulsa Historic Preservation Commission; co-founder and president of the Tulsa Art Deco Society. In addition , Rex was a founding commissioner and chairman of the Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Authority and a member and former president of Downtown Tulsa Unlimited.<br /><br />Rex is remembered as a devoted friend, loving husband, father and grandfather, who will be dearly missed. Rex is survived by his husband, Stephen Edwards, his daughters, Julie Kay Willingham, Linda Carol Ball, Sharon Louise Corbin and her husband, Clarence, Renee Marie Boehnen and her husband, Craig (all of the Dallas area) and Tiffany Gail Bjorlie and her husband, Jeremy of Tulsa; his grandchildren, Michael Ball, Cheyenne Corbin, Elyse Glass, Serene Corbin, Derek Corbin, Matthew Willingham, Aleigha Boehnen and Josh Corbin; his children's mother, Marge Crowley Ball; his special friends, Dwight Kealieher, Mike Tedrick, Steve Aberson and Brent Ortolani. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Sarah Mae (Kellner) Ball and his brother, Leonard Frank Ball. Rex left his body peacefully, family by his side, with Stephen holding him and singing the show tunes that Rex famously adored.</p> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Beatles were soon to give the Eighth Day new significance with their "Eight Days a Week." Paul S's Glory Hole, with Its balcony and the whole works, was the first of 13 he would have in Tulsa. ihe straights ·had no Idea what a glory hole was, but newly arriving gays knew Instantly. Bob White had the Eighth Day and Gala at the time, but Fran and Jodie soon would take over. Fran, a former lady wrestler, had no trouble keeping the peace, although some of the pieces did get out of hand once in a while. Those were the days when the bars were mixed - girls and guys. I could be more specific by saying dikes and queens. The best fights were always by the dikes. Shirley P. always used part of her Indian money on her birthday to throw a big party at the Gala. And those were the days when you always knew when it was about time to leave. Fran or Jodie would yell out, "Hotel, motel time." C.J., Pe�gy's other half, put little differently. The Chicken C oop, still. open on Third Street, was an after-hours eating place BY DICK SUAGEE for a lot of us. preceding Baker's by a few years.· And C.J. would regularly solicit business by yelling out, "Who's going to the Chicken Shit?" C.J., now deceased, was about as butch as they came, even sprouting a mustache once. Oh yes. she worked as a truck · driver. And Peggy was as pretty a femme as you ever would see. The Doghouse was on the corner of Seventh and Boulder, preceding the now-closed Holiday Inn by a few years. And If one of you was having a lovers' quarrel, it was a good place to wind up - In the Doghouse, get. It's main decoration was a huge reprint of the famous painting of dogs of all breeds having a poker game. Mt,CH,The Taj Mahal, which later l�ould be across the street In the middle of the same block, was not even a dream yet. Norma would bring it along In a few years, first as the Adams Hotel bar, and then Its more famous site on Seventh Street. The Zebra Lounge, around the corner on Main Street, was a ·straight place. First "Bob" and then BIii Oliver would change that a few years later. Getting back to Norma, some of the best bar stories ever came out of the Taj when she first opened it. Totally serious, she told the story of how some of her lady friends saw her downtown shopping and said they Just couldn't believe she was running a gay bar, to which she replied, ''Of course I am....All of my customers are happy." The next t wo I heard myself, A young man with a University of Hawaii T-shirt, and obviously the timid type, walked In one afternoon during happy hour and sat at a table next to me. Norma came over to wait on him, and he looked up before ordering and asked, "Ma'am, Is It safe for queens in here?" Norma replied, "My Lord, yes, honey chlle, they have those In England. We don't have them In this country." He got up and ran. Shortly after the Holiday Inn was opened across the street, a man who obviously had looked out the window and saw the bar, walked over. Janie, one of Norma's longtime friends, was working happy hour that afternoon•. Janie is about 4-foot-9, if she's that tall, and on the buxom side. The visitor from across the street observed what was going on for a few minutes, and· to an outsider, some of It could have been pretty shocking, and then stood up. Making sure he had the floor, he said, "Obviously this Is a gay bar, but who is that (pointing to Janie), Mickey Rooney In drag?" He finished his beer and left us with one of the best laughs ever. Janie took It In stride. Paul S. (The Glory Hole) later would have the Scubldu Downtown, the Scubldu East, on Sheridan, the old Thelma's Club at First and Elwood, the Queen of Hearts at Third and Frisco, and on and on. Some didn't stay open long enough for the name to register. Paul played the trombone and 1iked Contlnued...

Gracie Y. would first enter ,e scene when Bill Oliver had the �ebra downtown. Bill also would ,ave the Doors and Caruso's. Gracie, · already . in her 'O's, played the piano · every ,aturday night. The oldies were ,er ·specialty, but she had a little 1ovelly number on the rlsque side vhcf would gladly play, putting ,vhoever's name was requested In :he lyrics. It started out with the 1ame submitted, say. "James," and Nent like this: "James couldn't get :t started•..11 The laughter started immediately and ''James" soon became embarrassed. But it was fun and we all loved it. Gracie later moved her act to the Bamboo and most of us followed. It gave Gene a partner. He was a solo dancer of some merit in those days - I watched him dance from one end of the bar to the other one night to the complete Carole King "Corazon." He was not the Latin from Manhattan but he gave a r=t�6 s Getting back to Paul S. (Glory Hole), he took it upon himself to lead the "Jane Ann Jayroe Parade" after she became the state's second "Miss America" - Norma Smallwood was the first. Paul had the Queen of Hearts at the time and regularly presented drag shows. And by far the best one who ever appeared was "Dawn Winters... On this particular evening, three of his best-dressed drag queens rode on the back of his convertible, legs crossed, and waved to the huge crowd along the parade route. A sign on both sides read,"Come to the Queen of Hearts - where boys will be girls.u The .... BARS, continued cops along the route seemed to get a bigger kick out of it than anyone. And speaking of cops, many years later at Tim;s Playroom, once t�e Gala and then the place to go, two of them came In on ohe of the coldest nights of the year with a foot of snow on the ground and stood under one of the he�ll vents for what seemed like forever. The dance floor was packed for Sunday night happy hour. Tom P., Pearl to many of us, suggested to me -that we walk over and see what was going on. He knew both of them. "Looking for anything In particular," Tom asked, to which one of them replied, 0 Not a damn thing, Tom. It just happens that this Is one of. the warmest and safest spots in town right now." Tl_m Turner gave us three good bars during his ·Tulsa run, before moving to Florida. The Playroom may have been the best Tulsa ever had. And we can't forget Jimmy and Roy, who have give the Tool Box a totally different meaning than the one in your car trunk. Tulsa's bars ·have been a never-ending song of love. Yes, there were some bad moments. I remember the time I watched Ronnie Dlttmore get in his old lover's oar In front of the Zebra. They had spent the evening inside trying to decide If there was enough left to start over again. The next morning I would read that Ronnie had been murdered. And two days later, another story told how the · ex-lover had killed himself on his father's grave in Kansas. Tulsa's bars may never relive their old days. AIDS may have changed that forever. But the many fond memories will never die. I will never forget Walt Carlton (cancer), Carl Nagel (cirrhosis), and Bruce Hower.ton. Wayne Galutza, Newcombe Cleveland, to name a few. They were so brave in death. For . them, the long and winding road has ended. Our Job is to see that their trip wasn't In vain - that we, as gay Tulsans, ca11 rise up and prove to this city that we are some its best .citizens.

Title A name given to the resource [2019] Gala Lynn Riggs Video Subject The topic of the resource Lynn Riggs (1899-1954), Oklahoma's Own Playwright and Poet, namesake for the Lynn Riggs Black Box Theatre at the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center operated by Oklahomans for Equality. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Oklahomans for Equality Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource April 27, 2019 Description An account of the resource Lynn Riggs, Oklahoma's premier playwright, wrote most of his 25 full-length plays about his home state - stories of the people he knew in this childhood as they struggled to create new lives in a changing culture . Son of a part-Cherokee mother and pioneer father in Claremore , Lynn wished to introduce the public t the diverse people of the Plains Many of Riggs' early poems, The Iron Dish 1930, evoked the ambiance of Santa Fe, his favorite city. Later, more personal poems, This Book, This Hill, These People, 1982, often reflected a Native American view of life. His interests were in singing, playing guitar, and acting. After high school, as a young man with identity issues, Riggs signed on as a cattle puncher on a train bound for Chicago. then went to New York , where he played an extra in some early cowboy movies being filmed in the Bronx. By 1920, he was in Hollywood, working as a film extra. Between film jobs, as he read proof for the Los Angeles Times, a disaster brought him a windfall . In 1928, Riggs' talents earned him a Guggenheim Fellowship to work for a year in Franc e. It freed him from money worries and gave him peace to write his most famous play, Green Grow the Lilacs. The Theatre Guild produced it on Broadway in 1931, featur­ing many of the old folk songs from Lynn's childhood that he loved. The same group revived it on Broadway in 1943, substituting contemporary music by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein and the new title, Oklahoma!. It broke all records and continues to be produced across the U.S. and around the world. He continued to write all his years, and to encourage aspiring writers. He supported amateur theatre groups wherever he could believing that they would shape the future of American theatre . He died of lung cancer in New York in 1954. -By Phyllis Cole Braunl ich, author of Haunted by Home: The life and letters of Lynn Riggs, 1988, and "R.
