In Loving Memory of Jack J. Wells, 1942-2019
oWestern artist Jack J. Wells and his wife, Alice, have been longtime supporters of the Miss Rodeo Oklahoma program, providing Jack's prints for the annual raffle and creating an original framed portrait for each Miss Rodeo Oklahoma. Jack even walked away with the crown once as "Mister Rodeo Oklahoma." Most importantly, they encouraged contestants, supported the organization and its volunteers and became our friends. Donations in Jack's memory may be designated to the ORPC and will be applied toward a Jack J. Wells scholarship.
