Oklahoma Bills to Name Bridge in Honor Paul H. Carr

There is movement afoot to name a bridge on Hwy 69 in Checotah in honor of Paul H. Carr.

Interesting enough in the Senate Bill there is listed a Highway Memorial Mile in Eufala in memory of Randy Peterson.  Joan’s family, the Frames, have no knowledge of this from Randy’s wife or his sister, Pam.

Nancy Milam has contacted Checotah’s newspaper about Uncle Paul’s bridge and she will do an article covering our story.

Bridge on Hwy 69 in Checotah to be name after Paul Henry Carr

Dear Family,

I am writing to share some exciting news.  A year ago the PHCMF board contacted Representative Avery Frix District 13 in regard of having a designated bridge or portion of a highway near Checotah named for Uncle Paul.  Jeff has been the contact person and today he received a call confirming the passage of HB 2311.  There will be a Ceremonial Bill Signing on July 29 by Governor Stit.  Below are the copies of the communication sent to Jeff.  Please email or call Jeff if you plan to attend and he will forward that number  to Vicli Adams, Legislative assistant.  What a wonderful tribute to Uncle Paul!  The eight sisters, Joan, and Paulette would be so pleased.

Love,

Nancy

 

Dear Mr. Rush

The bridge over U.S. Highway 266 on U.S. Highway 69 within the municipal limits of Checotah shall be designated as the “Paul Henry Carr Memorial Bridge”.  The Department of Transportation shall cause suitable permanent markers bearing that name to be placed on the highway.

All of the details surrounding the ceremonial bill signing are below. As soon as you know how many family members will be attending, you may either call me or email me with the number.

It was a pleasure talking with you and I look forward to talking to you soon.

Thank you,

Vicki Adams

Representative Avery Frix, District 13, 405-557-7302
