The Page Turner by Ted Streuli
One of Club 29’s longstanding traditions is to honor a teacher each month. That ritual conjures a different memory each month — the kindergarten teacher I adored, the high school teacher who kept putting me back on the path, the college English professor who challenged and inspired me. And as a parent, a new set of teacher-driven memories come about. Raymond is 14 now, navigating his first year of high school from behind a cloth facemask two days per week. But it wasn’t too long ago, at least in grown-up years, that I was reminded why we need to honor great teachers.
Perhaps, if you too are a parent of young children, you have been entertained by Samuel L. Jackson’s reading of Adam Mansbach’s book Go the [expletive deleted] to Sleep. If you are a parent of young children, you know which expletive has been deleted. Like me, that phrase has occurred to you many times. Many, many times.
One night in 2012 I was lying in bed with the 6-year-old tornado, and I was silently reciting that very phrase. The lights were out. The house was quiet. Only the tiny LED book light illuminating my Kindle suggested life persisted at Casa Streuli. I planned to read a chapter of Michael Connelly’s The Brass Verdict while said tornado spun down and fell asleep. I was settled. He was snug.

Robert Gilliland, Jr. - May 12, 1941 - February 24, 2021
From President David Walters
Fellow Rotarians:
It is with sadness that we report the death of a member of Rotary Club of Oklahoma City, Robert Gilliland, who we all knew as Bob. This loss is magnified for our club because Bob married our fellow member Ann Felton Gilliland right after Christmas in 2007. I am certain that Ann who has been in the club since 2004 may have had something to do with Bob joining us in 2015.
As so many of you who knew Bob well can attest….he was literally a super lawyer and practice with McAfee & Taft for nearly 50 years. Expert in business litigation, criminal defense and prosecutions…he started his career as Captain Gilliland in the JAG Corp and served in Vietnam. Only a handful of attorneys are selected for continuous inclusion in the Best Lawyers in America and Bob was one of them. He was perennially named to the Oklahoma Super Lawyers list. He served as chair of the Oklahoma Worker’s Compensation Commission for two years and was appointed by the Governor two years ago to serve on the Pardon and Parole Board where he was implementing major policy changes.
