    Jane Jayroe-Gamble She overcame her fears and shyness to win Miss America 1967, launching her career in media and government Chapter 01 – 0:52 Introduction Announcer: As millions of television viewers watch Jane Jayroe crowned Miss America in 1967, and as Bert Parks serenaded her, no one would have thought she was actually a very shy and reluctant winner. Nor would they know that the tears, which flowed, were more of fright than joy. She was nineteen when her whole life was changed in an instant. Jane went on to become a well-known broadcaster, author, and public official. She worked as an anchor in TV news in Oklahoma City and Dallas, Fort Worth. Oklahoma governor, Frank Keating, appointed her to serve as his Secretary of Tourism. But her story along the way was filled with ups and downs. Listen to Jane Jayroe talk about her struggle with shyness, depression, and a failed marriage. And how she overcame it all to lead a happy and successful life, on this oral history website, VoicesofOklahoma.com. Chapter 02 – 8:30 Grandparents John Erling: My name is John Erling. Today’s date is April 3, 2014. Jane, will you state your full name, your date of birth, and your present age. Jane Jayroe: Jane Anne Jayroe-Gamble. Birthday is October 30, 1946. And I have a hard time remembering my age. JE: Why is that? JJ: I don’t know. I have to call my son, he’s better with numbers. I think I’m sixty-seven. JE: Peggy Helmerich, you know from Tulsa?

Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.

May 1, 2000, was the day we opened the doors of this facility and on May 28, 2010, we held a very big tenth birthday party. More than 1,800 guests came through the front doors in less than two hours. It was an evening of free flowing chocolate, music, balloons, and party hats as hundreds enjoyed themselves. Most of us old timers still refer to the building as the “new building”, but perhaps that was because we were in our old buildings for more than half a century. I think our present facility will always be the “new building” to me. Museum attendance was up 14.5 percent from 2009, with a 28 percent increase in Dr. Michael A. Mares visitation in the summer of 2010 compared with summer 2009. In fact, it was the Director highest summer attendance since 2006. The special exhibition Chocolate, from The Field Museum in Chicago, and our participation in the Blue Star Museums Program, brought more than 80,000 visitors into Norman’s No. 1 tourist attraction through the summer of 2010. The museum’s educational programs continued to be extremely successful.
