Calling to the Good

What a treat it was to sit down with Danette Daniels, owner of The Water Bird Gallery in Fairfax, Oklahoma, and visit with her about The Water Bird venue/gallery/museum - as well as hear her Osage perspective on Killers of the Flower Moon and even get the story on the use of her historic building for filming the movie!

Danette has a heart for her community and its history. She is also making a positive difference one smile at a time!

(Writing an article for the Bartlesville Monthly Magazine is what originally initiated this interview - but it was just so good it needed to go onto a podcast as well! )
