HISTORY COMPILED BY RICK WALLACE
.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I started working at the Oklahoma Veterans Center in Ardmore, Oklahoma on August 31,1979. I started as an Orderly, which are now called Nurses Aids. The Veterans Center in 1979, gave each Orderly 5 white tee shirts, 5 white pants, and a white lab jacket. During this time, you could have your whites (clothes) washed by the Veterans Center Laundry, once a week for free. During this time, you could live in the old north annex building at the Veterans Center for $25.00 a Month and if you worked at the Veterans Center for more than 3 years, you could get your meals for free. I started out at $555.00 a month in 1979 and could actually live better then than I can now in 2007.

In 1980, the Veterans Center paid for several of the Nurse Aides to go take the Nurse Aid Classes at the local Vo-Tech. I remember our Instructor was Mrs. Manor and she was a very good teacher. We had to do clinical work at Memorial Hospital of Southern Oklahoma in Ardmore. I knew most of the Employees at the Hospital pretty well, I had worked there from 1974-1976 as a Security Guard.

In 1981, the Veterans Center paid for 3 of the Nurses Aids to take the first Responders classes in Ada, Ok. at Valley View Hospital. The three aids were Floyd Newman, Lester Brown, and Myself. Floyd Newman and I enjoyed these classes so much, we talked the Veterans Center into sending us to take the E.M.T. Classes in Ardmore. We were so gung ho that we thought we could save everybodys' life at the Veterans Center. (Ha Ha) NOT! I became a National Registered Emergency Medical Technician in 1982.

In 1982, Floyd Newman and I were doing all the Lab Work, Respiratory Therapy, and Driving Patients to the V.A. Hospital In Oklahoma City. During this time we also had our own Ambulance at the center. I know that a lot of people that I currently work with would find it hard to believe but yes Floyd and I did all of the lab work during this time. I was the first one in the lab who actually figured out how to configure cholesterol with the Ames equipment.

In 1983, I decided to start teaching C.P.R. and doing Code Blue drills at the local Nursing Homes In Ardmore. I enjoyed doing this very much. By 1985, I was burned out and I decided it was time to go back to square one, being a Nurse aid. Being a Nurse aid is a very good job if you really apply yourself to really taking care of people. It always helped me to work with other aids that could push your competitive spirit such as Leo Peters, Steve Luttrell, Charles Allen, Lester Brown, Cleo Pierce and Sharon Locke (just to mention a few) and feel you have really accomplished something at the end of the day. I will say that being a Nurse Aid, is a very hard job with little pay and very little reward from your peers. Sharon Locke and Thomas Davenport were great aids! When I started working at the Veterans Center, I always admired Sharon Locke & Thomas Davenports leadership skills and their tact, which in my opinion made the two of them the best nurse aids I had ever worked with.

In 1988, I decided to take the L.P.N. Classes at the local Vo-Tech in Ardmore. This class was very hard considering I was also working at the same time. I was the big strong guy at work and I got used a lot, lifting and weighing every patient at work and soon it took a toll on my body. During the time I was taking the L.P.N. classes I had to have two knee surgeries and had to drop out of the classes.

In 1991, I got a new position at the Center, Fire & Safety Officer, which is the best job at the center and paid as much as the L.P.N. at the time(NOT ANYMORE FOR THE NEW GUYS). In 1995, for some political reason, it was decided that we didn�t need security anymore, we needed more social workers. This is also the time when we had the OKC Bombing.(GO FIGURE)In 1995, I was placed in social services with the title of Fire & Safety Officer and we retained one Fire & Safety Officer (Allen Clements) one Fire & Safety Officer (Larry Christiansen)applied for a job in the Maintenance Department and the rest of the Fire & Safety Officers retired.

In 1996, I was moved to the Recreation Department but I was still classified as a Fire & Safety Officer. I really enjoyed this job but it wasn�t easy. I know a lot of employees at the Center get upset with Recreation Workers but this job consist of so much paper work. So the next time you see a Recreation Worker walking by and it makes you jealous because they get to go fishing or there doing a bingo, just remember he or she has to put every little detail of all the Residents in the computer system and have it all ready by the end of every month. During this time in Recreation, I started taking computers real serious. I had kids that were already masters of the computer.

In 1998, I was moved back into the Fire & Safety Department because my partner (Allen Clements) had a few medical problems sneak up on him and he was hospitalized for a short time. I was happy to be put back in the Fire & Safety Office (not at Allens' expense). Like I said earlier this is the best job at the Center.

In 1999, the Center upgraded to new computers and new software and I became the Computer Coordinator. In the year 2000 I took the M.C.S.E. (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) Class at the local Vo-Tech in Ardmore. I had been fascinated with the History Of the Veterans Center since around 1991 when I first became a Fire & Safety Officer. I worked a lot of evening and graveyard shifts and had a little time to read and a lot of time to look around the Center. I created a Web Sight in Feb. 2000 on the History Of the Center. In 2003 Allen Clements did retire and Died in 2004. Allen was a very good man and realy cared about the Veterans Center and mostly about the Veterans. Allen was also a retired Navy Man. I had my third knee surgery in 2004 and a fourth knee surgery on February 9, 2007. I have been thinking about retirement and I turned 50 years of age on July 19, 2007. My wife and I are expecting another child in February of 2008 and retiring might be the best option according to my wife. We will see???
UPDATE: My wife had a miscarriage on 08-11-2007 after 13 weeks and this was a very sad time for us and we are starting to get back to normal after such a set back!

UPDATE: My wife had a baby boy on October 28, 2008 and I retired on March 1, 2009 after 29 1/2 years!!

Now it is 2009 and I would like to say that the best two Nurses that I ever worked with were Mrs. Powers & Mrs. Thorpe. Mrs. Powers was a working R.N. which means she wasn�t afraid to get out on the floor and actually work with you and Mrs. Thorpe was the General of her command and she would see to it you did your job or she would stay with you until you did it and did it right. Mrs. Thorpe was a great leader and Mrs. Powers was a great teacher and in my books you need both.

Some will argue with these facts but the facts speak for themselves and that�s the way I saw it over the last 29 years. One of these days or years, I�ll write about everything that I can remember with help from others that I have worked with over the years. thanks ,Rick Wallace

I am planning on turning this web sight and history over to D.J. Fenti and remove all of my family stuff to another web sight that I have! D.J. is a young energetic I.T. person and will do a great job on all of our history
