Lela is the matriarch of a very large family and has been writing all her life. Most of which ended up in the trash can. The family business was construction work and required several moves over the years to follow the work from one building boom town to the next. She said her and her husband finally got old after they left Texas for rural Oklahoma, and decided this was the last move. She also decided it was time to start writing down the life stories of her family, or there would never be a record of this wonderful experience. She says, ‘Boy do I have stories to tell.’
