Where is Red Oak, Oklahoma? 

Follow the roads of Judy's childhood in her fond description of "Loony Hill".

"Times were different in the 1950s and 1960s when I was a child. Looking back, I can still see those memories clearly. It was a time of freedom compared with childhood today. We lived in a safe place at the end of true dirt roads, on a rise of land most people called “Loony Hill.” You could find our place by following a few landmarks: go north on the main street of Red Oak to the T at the school and turn right; follow the main road to the Y and take the left; cross Brazill Creek on a one-lane metal bridge; then continue past the shell mounds of the strip coal pit until the road bends sharply right and climbs what was eventually called “Donnie Dye’s Corner.” The road turned again as you went down “Whisky Hill,” passing an old Indian graveyard on the left, set back from the road. At the bottom was a crooked fork known as Lodi Corner, where there once stood a little post office, a Staples dry goods store, and a vacant school building. From there, staying on the main county dirt road, you took a right, and after about half a mile up the hill, you came to Joe Luna’s home. It was there that I grew up, known as one of the Loony girls." ~Just Judy
