I think this might be a tighter race.
If I remember correctly, Abraham Hanson and Majir Kornblit. Spelling is likely wrong. Still have the pickup they gave Dad upon his retirement.Former WWII German concentration camp prisoners. Both of them still carried the numbers on their arms they got in the camps. Their son Michael has written a book about their time in the camps.
They were hard working folks living the American Dream.
Back in the day, we had the Kornblits speak to the history classes about their experiences in the auditorium. Other times, we had Jake McNiece come in and do the same. Because of the enrollment and the size of the auditorium, we had to split the school and have two programs back to back. We had many kids sit through the first program, skip class, and sit through it a second time. Never any discipline issues.If I remember correctly, Abraham Hanson and Majir Kornblit.

Ol Jake was quite the character. My Uncle was Commander of the local VFW for years with Jake the Vice Commander. After I joined, I got the honor to talk to Jake several times.Back in the day, we had the Kornblits speak to the history classes about their experiences in the auditorium.

Jake and I were on the Personnel committee for the city years ago. That is where I really got to know him. As colorful as he was back in his prime, his kids were the best behaved and respectful as any you could find. Hugh was quite a football player too.Ol Jake was quite the character.

There was a mom-n-pop burger joint called Pak-A-Sak in Enid for many years. When I was a kid, they had hamburgers 7 for $1. We very seldom got fast food but, when we did, that was usually it.
You better have rubber floor mats in you car. The bottom of the sack would be soaked with grease, mmmmm! Darn good burger!I miss Pak-a-Sak. Lotta burger and Lenox Drive In are still open. Haven't been back to Enid in awhile. Last time I went ate at Lotta Burger and it was still great.
