[PW] Re: Texas Flag Question (was Re: U.S. flag never at half-mast)

Yes, Staci, I know it can be flown at equal height, but it cannot be flown higher than ... 
Oddly, I, too, used to live in Oklahoma (I married an Okie from Muskogee), so you and I must be treading in each other's footsteps. We lived in Green Country, the Grand Lake area.

I have searched and searched and searched and cannot find anything about the display rules and regulations for the Oklahoma flag. I saw the ones on the Arkansas state website. They are very exact.

In searching I did learn that Oklahoma finally standardized the colors of its flag in September. The following is from a hmmm, slightly opinionated website called Quatloos -- the Cyber-Museum of Scams and Frauds, but the information is interesting. http://www.quatlosers.com/dan_meador.htm There's also a Tulsa World article from just a few days ago about certain changes in the flag. http://www.tulsaworld.com/NewsStory.asp?ID=061229_Ne_A9_Russi46659_0

The official Oklahoma flag is prescribed by law at 25 Okla. Stat. § 91, but I can't find the actual law anywhere, just folks quoting it.

This may send us off on another tangent, but it's been fun to learn trivia from other states.

Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.
