His diaper cover was embroidered with “Boomer Sooner, ” thus beginning a new generation of 50-year OU supporters.

New fiction
Bud Meade has written a new book (fiction this time) and was the honoree and book signer at a reception at Full Circle Bookstore. He has written two other books about horses and foxhunting. “Marland’s Ghost… A Simon Rush Mystery” has just been published (I think it’s a great read).
