Wall of Fame reception for past and current honorees is a happy, friendly party!

Past Wall of Fame award winners met with the current class of award winners, Rand Elliott, Erik Logan Toppenberg, Aubrey McClendon and Larkin Warner, for a champagne reception and reunion at the Oklahoma History Center the night before the Wall of Fame Dinner and Induction Ceremony.

Lori M. Dickinson, Executive Director of the Foundation for Oklahoma City Public Schools, welcomed guests and made introductions. Helen Sullivan, Wall of Fame Dinner Chairman, talked about the honorees.

Honorees received corsages and boutonnieres to identify them. Lovely and fun ceramic vases of flowers decorated the tables. Students from Southeast High School designed them. Colorful cocktail napkins were precious sayings from elementary school students. One was “I want to be a fire girl. I am going to help people get out when there is a fire,” from Zanayra, Kindergartener, Heronville Elementary.
