Clayton Turner

Memory: Loretta and John moving to the country, and sharing their home with Clayton Turner & Kurt Steffen to open The Clayton Turner Gallery. I will never forget his mom making pie out on Jensen Avenue, and--once we got moved into the gallery on Clovis, Avenue--she was so kind: She taught me how to use an old-fashioned iron skillet to make fried potatoes the way Clay liked them. What fond memories of helping him with the gallery, and taking care of his garden.

My husband's brother, Olen McCullar was a long-time friend of Clayton's.Olen knew Clayton as a young man, and used to cut his hair after he had his accident. They became close friends over the years. Olen lives in Seminole, Oklahoma now. I will send the notices to him to read. He will be sadded to hear of the death of his friend.
