Elmer Oceola Rutledge

I was always impressed by his ability in the classroom. One of my favorite memories of him was the day I walked into the classroom and he and a friend grabbed me so his good friend could kiss me.

I will always remember Elmer riding on a tractor preparing the dirt for the garden tractor pulls at the PB Fair. He helped out anywhere he could. A great man who will be deeply missed.

Elmer was a great volunteer with the 4-H and FFA, Ector County Stock show. He wrote one of the first computer programs for entering all the information for the kids and animals. This made breaking animals into classes and printing classes so easy. Elmer was a great asset to the Permian Basin Fair and Sand Hills Rodeo he will be missed. He was a very special man and friend.
