Studebaker Dude

Jon Stalnaker recalls his love for Route 66 murals and shares his experience capturing pictures of a mural in Sapulpa before it was taken down.

In 1983, a postal worker reflects on the changing times, personal milestones, and historic events while delivering mail.

I don't like to kill cockroaches or even tomato worms, but some creatures are asking for it. I call those "varmits."

I first became interested in writing after my mother sent me an autobiography in July of 1988.

Rest in Peace Paul Reubens. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and making this world just a little bit more tolerable.

I started my working years in the 60s and 70s. $3 an hour was a respectable wage back then. You could buy a decent used car for a couple hundred bucks and rent an apartment for $100 a month. It was in the 70s when everything went crazy.

I was born in 1951. Take a look at my yellow Studebaker, it is 41 days older than me and was a futuristic-looking car for its day. Life was different back then and I am so glad I got to experience it.

Stalnaker explains his new column since the merger the Sapulpa Times and the Sapulpa Herald, called "Been There, Done That"

By:  Jon StalnakerAKA The Studebaker Dude I am feeling a little existential this week so I thought I would talk about something other than cars this time.  I turned 70 last year and it’s the first milestone birthday that bothered me.  Maybe bothered is too strong, let me just say that it is the first…

I am very much a car guy and Studebakers are my thing, but I like other cars too and my dream would be to have one of those huge industrial buildings full of cars.
