John Porter press conference
John Porter, OKC’s suspended with pay School Superintendent, held a brief and quickly put together press conference tonight at 6. Local media gathered in mass at the Waterford Marriott.
We caught word barely more than a hour half and scrambled a crew. Thanks to reporter, photographer, online and video cooperation, we put together a quick wrap of what Porter said. We used audio from a reporter who covered Porter’s speech. Photographs in the video to support the audio. And I taped a quick standup from the vacated press room.
Here’s the deal, it made for a long day. I spent four hours laying down a score for The Children’s Center corporate video OPUBCO Communications is doing. John Waterman did an excellent job with a compelling video. I added some piano beneath it.
Then the Porter presser.
Then sand. Angi and I covered the Hot Winter Nights tour, opening at the Ford Center tonight. Kyle Roberts was eating it up. Good looking people having fun. And the volleyball players were some of the cooler athletes I’ve interviewed. They geniunely seemed to be having fun.
Of course they did have sand between their toes. In January.

“Our Needs Are Greater Than Our Strengths”
Zach Taylor died last week. His funeral service was held today at Westminster Presbyterian in Oklahoma City.
Taylor ran ACOG and was responsible for many civic advancements in our city and state. He spent years chasing the dream of 911. He realized our needs more than we did.
I never met Zach Taylor. But his daughter Elizabeth is a good friend of mine. It’s unimaginable to me to lose a parent. I can’t even think about it. And to see a friend lose a parent is a terrible thing.
The service was very nice. And moving. The words and message were filled with inspiration. And sometimes words are what we need. Because they remind us of our memories, which is the personal time machine we all have.
We also need our parents and friends and those we trust and love. We all need someone to lean on and to help us.
And, as the message echoed through the overflow halls of Westminster, “Our needs are greater than our strengths.”
