Information about General Lawton is already contained under Geography. Should it be reverted from the introductory section? Tex 23:48, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. My bad. I didn't notice it there, but it makes sense. Rklawton 01:37, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Candice Earley

This actress has recently been added to Famous People from Lawton. But the article on her does not indicate her connection with Lawton. It says she was born at Ft. Hood, so I can well believe that she may have lived at Ft. Sill at some point. Would someone please edit the article on her to show the Lawton connection? Did she go to Lawton High? Or what?

"Notable" People

This list of notable people from Lawton is longer than it probably should be. I'm not sure if non-notable college football players and music producers should qualify. There are a few red links too, and most of the entries are unsourced. Any objections to cleaning up this list a little... or a lot? Weathermandan 22:43, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notable People from Lawton

I was born and raised in Lawton, graduating LHS in 1968. I totally agree that the list of "notable" people from Lawton is too large. I have never heard of any of these people. I wouldn't consider an athlete famous unless the person won an Olympic Medal, the Heisman Trophy, or was inducted in the Hall of Fame. None of the music producers can fall in the "notable" category. Please clean up the list.

BTW, I went to school with Candice Earley (Candy).
