Grove Genealogical Society to Meet
The monthly meeting of the Delaware County Genealogical Society will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept 20, at the Grove Public Library, 1140 NEO Loop. Dale Denney, speaker, will discuss his new book, "My Letters to You", an outgrowth of his passion for writing letters beginning with the one that triggered the romance and marriage to his wife, the former Juanita Graham, of Jay, OK.
While each of the 100 stories in his book can stand alone, taken in their entirety, they tell the story of life in northeastern Oklahoma during the final three quarters of the 20th century, from the poetic chicken thieves of the 30's in the oil fields of Oklahoma to finding the perfect human being living in Delaware Coounty at the turn of the millenium.
Denney began the Jay American newspaper in 1987, which he later turned over to others to publish. He has been active in civic life and a long time member of the Delaware County Historical Society, where he is still a member ofthe board of directors. He served on the Courthouse Renovation Trust Authority, and was instrumental in updating the World War II memorial in Jay.
After surviving cancer in 1996, he wrote a series for the local papers on how it feels to be told you have the dreaded disease, and what you have to go>through to get rid of it. Denney has kept writing a weekly column for area newspapers ever since.
The Genealogical Society meets the third Tuesday of each month, except December, at 7 p.m. at the Grove Public Library. Meetings are open to everyone who is interested in family genealogy.
