Poems by her late brother were originally submitted by Betty Swan to Hobbie$, Etc. and copyrighted by AMEA Publications.

His poems were remembering scenes from Osage, now covered by Keystone Lake in Oklahoma. EcholsÆ wrote about the bridge, a shortcut for the school kids to the school on the hill. Betty told us that Jim was a clerk for the steel mills in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, and though only able to return to Osage a couple of times, it lived vividly in his heart.
