From the article:

Before the sun sets at a remote mountain attraction called Holy City of the Wichitas, Jesus and a band of white-winged angels walk through a crowd gathering on the hillside.
Nobody seems fazed.

1. I remember that!

It was just past Prairie Dog Town!

Lawton, Ft. Sill, Wichita Mountains - beautiful break from the monotony of West Oklahoma.

My wife and I both transplanted from San Antonio up to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where we met and married.

We actually honeymooned in Eureka Springs, Arkansas and saw the giant Passion Play there on our honeymoon! Centurion horsemen, donkeys/asses, cast of hundreds!

Memories.

2. What an excellent honeymoon!!

My wife and I attended the Passion Paly in Oberammergau in 1984. Incredible.

I would not have imagined a Passion Play in Oklahoma.

3. Eureka Springs up in the Ozarks was huge! Saw it Spring '87.

Eureka Springs is modeled after Old World styles!

Moved to Alabama in '89! Out of the fryin' pan...

5. Have you ever been to Branson?

I'm kidding!!!

Your "fan club" is probably lookin' at this sayin,' "That explains everything!"

6. Never.

We have visited St. Charles, and St. Louis, and Hannibal a few times. We took a few vacations with our children and a few of their friends to that area. Friendly people and great scenery.

7. Also in Eureka Springs on our honeymoon:

St. Elizabeth Catholic Church, noted for its entrance through the Bell Tower!





Thorncrown Chapel, glass church out in the woods!
