Donna Lou Teague Gollihugh - In 1947, John Teague and Ruth Teague moved their family, Donna Lou Teague, Barbara Teague, John Joe Teague and Lena Teague, from Picher Oklahoma to southern California. Donna Lou returned this year with her husband, Tom Gollihugh of Moorpark California. She visited classmates she hadn't seen in 54 years... Accompanying them to the airport in Tulsa Oklahoma was one of Donna's closest friends, Joy "Perky" Edens Varley of Salt Lake City Utah, who had also returned to Picher for the reunion.
