| About | My Dad, Billy Gene Long, was a proud Sapulpa Chieftain. He played baseball, football and was a Golden Gloves Champion during his high school years in Sapulpa. He met his wife, Nina Lu, at Sapulpa High and they celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary while he was in the hospital, this past November 24th. They attended almost every class reunion until their health just wouldn't allow it. My Dad was in the Air Force for 26 years so I was able to attend Sapulpa High for one year while he was serving in Vietnam. I met so many wonderful friends and made so many memories. As I recall, my class was the last class in the "old high school" where my parents attended. It was so cool walking the same halls they walked when they were my age back then. We are sad and heartbroken to lose the "Chief" in our family and a loyal Chieftain alumni. R.I.P, Dad. Your Daughter, Linda (Long) Wright |
