In the Village.
Information...about Tulsa TV/radio/pop culture of the past.
That would be telling...
The new Number Two... (ahem) Actually, my name is Mike Ransom (mike@tulsaTVmemories.com). I started this web site just for fun in late 1998 and continue to maintain it and add new features with a lot of help from my friends, the readers. I am a Tulsa native. I attended both McKinley and Mitchell elementary schools, Lewis and Clark junior high, and East Central high school. I have a B.S. in math (second major: psychology) from the University of Oklahoma in Norman, and a certificate in computer programming from Tulsa Junior College (now Tulsa Community College). I lived in Lille, France for three months in 1993, on loan from American Airlines to SNCF (the French national railroad). I have travelled to London, Paris, Rome, Luxembourg, Germany, Hong Kong, Beijing, Tokyo, Hawaii, and many spots in the Caribbean. I am exactly two meters tall. Some favorite authors: Pauline Kael, Alfred Bester, Robert Heinlein, Stanislaw Lem, Henry Miller, Ian Fleming, Robert B. Parker, Joseph Wambaugh, James Clavell, Ken Follett.
Participated in the chimp sign language project at OU in 1971. Made a couple of parachute jumps in 1978. Spent a week at Esalen-Big Sur in 1984. In 1990, dove 800' just off Grand Cayman in a 3-person submersible (the same one in which James Cameron researched "The Abyss"). Witnessed the space shuttle Discovery blast-off with the Hubble telescope, also in 1990. Rode upfront with the engineer on one of France's TGVs (200 mph trains) in 1993. In 2002, got married! We went on The Jazz Cruise in 2008. A bit more autobio on the Pop Bottles page.
Here is Channel Two. There is Channel Six. (For Zeb, Eight's The Place.)
