I talked to Pake and I think we can get a booking for him to entertain us at the retirement center where I live in Edmond, Oklahoma. Talked to your Mother, Dad, Pake along with Clark and Sue Rhyne. Pake is out on the road now with his rodeo quests.

I sent Pake and Clark Rhyne photographs of Captain Charles M. LeFlore, Chickie and Chockie, his house, older sister and her husband who lived in Caddo. Her name was Matilda Elizabeth LeFlore. She married Doctor Thomas Jefferson Manning. He had over 1,000 horses and 600 head of cattle down at Caddo
.
Captain LeFlore was my wife’s Great Great Uncle.

Captain LeFlore gave your Grandfather, John McEntire, his last two stud thoroughbred race horses. John McEntire worked for Captain LeFlore breaking his horses. He got most of is horses from his brother-in-law Dr. Manning in Caddo. Forbis LeFlore was Captains father. He came on the Trail of Tears. He is burried in the Cemetery at Boggy Depot. Forbis’s half brother Greenwood LeFlore was the last Chief of the Choctaws east of the Mississipi.

I am writting at least two historical novels about the LeFlore family and will mention John McEntire breaking Captain’s horses and going to the many dances held in his home there at Limestone Gap. Clark McEntire told me his father went to a lot of dances there as well.

I know your folks will be to see you soon. I pray they have a great trip. I was Ken & Kaye McEntire’s minister in Coalgate before they died. I miss them and your Dad told me he missed them too.

God bless and enjoy your folks when they come.
