NEWS OF INTEREST TO OUR MEMBERS

Bob Jones of Murray Jones and Murray

From Tom Wallace of Wallace Engineering:

Some of you may have known Bob Jones or Murray Jones and Murray Architects in Tulsa. I assisted John Erling with an interview of Bob Jones that is now available to hear on the Voices of Oklahoma  website:  


I hope you all enjoy it.  There is way too much of me jabbering on this recording.  I thought that John would cut most of that out, so I apologize for that, but I think listening to Bob is a real treat.  Please share this with those you think would be interested.  I am very happy that John Erling and I were able to capture this moment with Bob on August 20, 2018.  There are very few people that I admire so much as Bob.
