It was a "dusty trail" that began in 1904 in East Hampton, N. Y., and moved in 1922 to West Point. It officially ends Tuesday at Fort Sill......All the pomp and ceremony that Fort Sill could muster was put on parade for the man who had command of both the U. S.

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Limbo is suppose to be the border region of hell, the abode of souls barred from heaven through no fault of their own. Three Oklahoma City families can tell you all about it. They have been living in their own sort of limbo for more than two weeks, since a giant flamethrower reduced their home on NW 63 to charred rubble. Now they live in a strange kind of vacuum, not knowing whether their homes and a lifetime's collection of belongings will be replaced. Homeowners without homes, they now live in apartments offered out of kindness, wear clothes supplied by their neighbors and cook to eat from donated utensils. Sifting through the ruins of their burned home at 2725 NW 63, the children of Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Donnell look for salvagable belongings. The boys are, left to right, Ricky, 12, Steve, 10, and Mark, 5."
