Daniel Webster's 52 Kids

Donna J. Fowler Wilson, an accomplished commercial illustrator, has painted a fascinating portrait of the lives of fifty-two of her fellow graduates from Daniel Webster High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  In this compelling biographical collage, she has woven together a tapestry of their lives, loves and secrets of survival from the hard won perspective of their 50 year anniversary.

"If you counted, you know there are forty-nine chapters.  Two are "double" because each married another classmate, so that leaves one-me.  My story is told all the way through: clever, huh!  To condense the facts, however, I need to say that I'm married to Robert "Bob" Wilson, and I have a daughter, Kim; her husband Mike; and two grandchildren, Andrew and Gloria.  They are the truest blessings that God has given me, next to his assurance of everlasting life.  The class of '52 is a continual source of delight, surprise, and frustration--and those of us who meet in Tulsa on a fairly regular basis are luckier than all the rest.  The photo is from the 1998 Home for the Holidays when I was inducted into the Daniel Webster Hall of Fame."
