The Nowata community will surely be interested to learn tidbits of historical fact that he drops, correcting many false rumors over the years. Viewers and listeners will also be interested to learn about all the ways in which the Nowata community has been involved in the production of this venture, and the ways that this could potentially benefit our community into the future.
