Mr. Huffman was president of the C.E. Huffman and Sons Construction Company. Among the structures built by this firm were the fire station at 36th Street and Classen Boulevard, the old Harbour-Longmire building and the old Coliseum.

From 1928 to 1936, Mr. Duffner was in partnership with R.D. Cravens in the Duffner-Cravens Mortgage Company. Mrs. Duffner's father was John Baedecker, who built many of the houses in the Winans area, now Heritage Hills. The mortgage company was dissolved in 1936 when Mr. Duffner formed Duffner Investments.

In 1939, Duffner began concentrating on building apartments and houses in the early development of Creston Hills and Midwest City. He built most of the Wilshire addition. He was instrumental in incorporating and starting The Village. His son, Jack Duffner, is also a builder, developing Hillcrest, Mayfair, Glenbrook, and Wedgewood area, among others. Jack Duffner remembers the funeral of Wiley Post on the steps of the Capitol building, when planes piloted by Post's friends flew over -- streamers flying and dropping blossoms among the crowd.

Mr. Aker was the general manager of Griffith Theatres, a chain of Oklahoma City movie houses.

Mr. Landrum was the local agent for Federal Life Insurance Company.
