Fascinating learning about Jimmy Stewart. I had two relatives who had a restaurant /club in Oklahoma City in the 1930s. They were Black women, Mildred and Alice Phinnie.. Their surname was often misspelled as Finnie and Phinney. Both women attended the HBCU, Langston University, Mildred graduated in 1924, and Alice in 1927. both girls attended integrated high schools in Arkansas City, Kansas, although lived in Ponca City. My Aunt, confirmed that Alice and Mildred had a restaurant/ club in Oklahoma City and once the famous comedian Bob Hope was in Oklahoma City and had dinner there. Doing a search on Google, I ground a newspaper article mentioning Bob Hope being in Oklahoma City. I wonder if you might have any information of these two women and their restaurant. She also mentioned the name of a very famous white Oklahomas citizen/ businessman who used to have dinner at her restaurant. again, I found his name on Google as a citizen of Oklahoma City. I will contact your office by email.
James Maitland Steward-- The true Christian reaction to sufffering and sorrow is not the attitude of self pity, fatalism, or resentment; it is the spirit which takes life's difficulties as a God given opportunity, and regards its troubles as a sacred trust, and wears the thorns as a crown. To the man who prays habitually (not only when he feels like it - that is one of the snares of religion - but also when he does not feel like it) Christ is sure to make himself real.
