Hello, everyone! From Pasadena, California, this is Jill Hunting with an HPPR BookByte. From the age of 10 until I left for college, I lived in Oklahoma City. Ours was a New England family relocated to the Midwest because of my father’s work, first as a schoolteacher in Lake Forest, Illinois, and then as a writer of flight manuals and exams for the Federal Aviation Agency. We were, you might say, in Oklahoma but not of Oklahoma. -
