Those of us who are of a certain age
OLD have enjoyed knowing Newt long enough to know he was naughty at times , like when I got head lice & was embarrassed about it. I drove by to pick up the meds from the window as he handed them to me, he shouted Don´t forget the nit comb!
He also loved doing auctions before Christmas with the members the Kiwanis Club to raise money for charity.

I had the fortunate opportunity to meet Newt through the ministry of Meals on Wheels. We became friends and I had the chance to spend precious time with him over the past several months. He was loved and admired by so many people and his legacy of contributions to the city of Guthrie in so many ways will never be forgotten. Our sincere condolences to his friends and family.
