Hello, I am from Girard originally and have heard all of those expressions and some or the reasons, but by no means all of them. Always interesting to learn something new about the past. Thanks for posting and teaching us something. Good to hear from someone from "home" Have lived in Tulsa for 20 yrs. If we talked long enough, I am sure we would connect trough the six degrees of seperation, something that fascinates me. Have a great day.
