I think he is from Portland-Oregon, OK.
I am a mere carpet-bagger. Norman Oklahoma, now there's a real Okie for you.
Oklahoma was my 3rd license.
Now I live in OKC and work wherever out of my RV Trailer.
I survived a few nights in McCurtain County chasing riparian boundaries for Weyerhaeuser between Broken Bow Lake and De Queen Lake...Kiamichi to Ouachita

Another Oklahoma surveyor here. This is my first post, but I've been hanging around here for awhile.

I've never quite made it to Okie, but am licensed in OK. My family is from the Norman area, and I am a registered Potawatomi. My parents moved shortly before I was born. I visit often. In 1981, I lived all summer in OKC, working in Norman, but that's the closest I came to living there. My dad is licensed in OK, but like me, has lived in CO since 1970, The only survey I did in OK, was a few miles outside of Norman with dad, anId it was the only time I ever killed a snake with an axe, or SEEN a snake on the job - the snake was not poisonous, but it sure looked like a killer to me. I usually work at about 8500 elevation in the Rockies, where there are no poisonous snakes, spiders, lizards or scorpions. You don't want to see a Mountain Lion.

Does having a CA License (my 2nd) make me a Californio?

Or maybe not living there makes you a Califoreigner

don't know if I would call myself an Okie, but I was born at Enid AFB, currently work in Texas, licensed in OK. welcome!
When I was about three or four my family went to the Pueblo, Colorado area to visit my mother's sister and family. While there, my sister and I walked down the road with my cousins to visit with some neighbor kids. They asked where we were from, so we told them. One of the older girls in that family announced that we were "foreigners". I had no idea what that meant but it made me madder than an old wet hen. I left the group and stomped all the way back to my aunt's house to find out what it meant.
I usually sing along to "Oakie from Muskogee" when it comes on the radio.
