Notes: When I was growing up in Healdton, Oklahoma, my mother and daddy (Gladys and Ben Boyd) always had a large vegetable garden and in the summer there was always okra growing. I remember picking the okra in the warm sun with my mother. My daddy would come home everyday at noon for "dinner" and my mother would fry the okra for him. I was so proud that I had gotten to help. The okra was delicious. My mother was a wonderful cook." (Faye Boyd Horner)
