Read moreLEADERSHIP LESSON – Twenty-two Hennessey High School seniors were greeted Wednesday morning by State Sen. Chuck Hall (R-Perry) and Rep. Mike Dobrinksi (R-Okeene) at the Oklahoma History Center. After questions and brief updates, the legislators also posed with students for this photo. That’s the state Capitol in the background and where students in the Leadership Hennessey program had planned to visit with senators. However, House and Senate chambers were still under construction. OHC Director Dan Provo told students that their cell phones are more complex than the 1970s Skylab 4 Apollo Command module that was on exhibit. Some students were also surprised to see the name of Owen K. Garriott on more than a street sign in Enid. They found out that Owen Kay Garriott was an astronaut. The trip was part of a once-a-week leadership session sponsored by the Hennessey United Association and admission to the center was paid by the Inasmuch Foundation. The once-a-week leadership sessions include panel discussions with state, county and local officials and community leaders in business and service organizations. Most of the panelists are HHS graduates. Pictured are students, from left: front row, Juliana Macy, Emily Root, Gillian Cooper, Reanna McGee, Alan Perez, Timmie Perry, Sen.
