[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.8316]
Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "A young lady named Lynn literally painted the town pink Sunday to celebrate her first birthday and proved that a girl can have her cake and eat it too. The fridety birthday girl and her 400 little friends lost no time in devouring and sometimes destroying a massive white birthday cake and its dazzling pink icing. Wether they got more in them or on them is to be disputed. Lynn herself set the tone for the pink bedlam, since she demonstrated that there are times when it comes in handy for a girl to have four hands. (photo tag: Lynn is a little chimpanzee obtained bu the Oklahoma City Zoo from Africa through a Florida dealer earlier this year when she was four months old. She celebrated her birthday on the party pavilion at the children's zoo.)"

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Investigators sift through wreckage of crashe C-124 Globemaster military transpot plane trying to determine why the plane crashed Saturday night. Air force investigators fought knee-deep mud, rain and hailstorm Sunday as they crawled over the wreakage of a C-124 military transport plane scattered over two square miles near the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge. They are seeking clues as to why the giant four-engine Globemaster crashed Saturday night, killing all six crewmen aboard. Eyewitnesses said the craft exploded in the air during a violent hailstorm as baseball-size hail fell from towering clouds. The aircraft was on a flight from Clovis, N.M., to its home base at Dover Air Force Basr, Del."
