Tulsa Gentleman: Ruby Tuesday - Gentleman Reading Newspaper.

Ruby Tuesday - Gentleman Reading Newspaper.

In Saturday's post you may have noticed a gentleman reading a newspaper to the left behind the fountain. Smokey stopped to visit for a time. He seemed like a nice enough gentleman but didn't talk much. He seemed a bit stiff you might say.

Actually the sculpture is the original Hans Helmerich of Helmerich and Payne drilling, also owners of Utica Square. The newspaper he is reading is a reproduction of a particular day's newspaper from the Tulsa Tribune (now defunct). Thanks Yogi!.
