Description:
Artist Statement: "My grandparents owned the daily newspaper in Haskell Oklahoma from the 1930's-1960's. My grandmother served as the writer / editor and Papa set type and ran the printing press. Honey sat at her typewriter under the window and wrote about small town news, births and obituaries. At noon she walked home and made a hot midday dinner. The town has declined but during my childhood there was still lots of news, and 1 stop light, Haskell, OK."
